The sun is going down
I'm just lying here
Letting it
How mindlessly on Life's ocean we float,
Practicing deceit, causing tears to fall,
While a witness silently takes note --
Time sees and hears all

Not one false vow made in the name of Love
Will escape Time's ever watchful eyes;
Like thawing snow reveals the frozen dove,
Time unveils all lies

Tears carve channels that are easy to trace,
Brows are furrowed by promises broken;
You need only look upon my face .......
The years have spoken

I know what it’s like;
To break a heart.
To have no malice,
Yet still tear one apart.

It took a while to see
That you weren’t for me,
But you wouldn’t set me free,
So I did it;
For self-preservation.
Today at last I met my lost love,
Though our lips were silent,
Our eyes spoke all.
I whispered,"Did you miss me?"
He gasped in torment and gathered me in his arms.

He asked me if he was my love or just my need,
I kissed him and whispered,"You
are MY LIFE."

I'm tired.
I'm sad.
I'm lonely, afraid.
Don't know what to say,
so lost and so broken,
I'm falling astray.
My brain so full of nonsense.
My mouth full of pity.
I'm scared of my mind.
I'm scared of my heart.
I can't help feeling the pain
of falling apart.
Everything so shattered.
I'm feeling so numb.
I can't find my happiness,
I can't find my sanity.
Oh God, please bring me
back to my humanity.

I feel like a lion
taken out of his cage
forced to live with
these people and give
up his ways.

thank god i can’t write good poetry
the best poetry comes from pain and hurt if you ask me
so although i can’t write like i used to
at least it means i’m doing alright
hurting is healing
