No More

We've walked this path,
many times before.
The fun and the laughter,
has turnd to a bore.

I'm sorry we can't be,
what each other needs.
I need life normal,
and you need life's schemes.

I know you have tried,
but can't beat your demons.
I've tried my best too,
but can't find more reasons.

I can not pretend,
that my heart isn't sore.
You push till the limit,
and then push some more.

My strength has run out,
and hope has run dry.
The belief that I had,
was squashed with each lie.

I love you so much.
But I can't stand the strain,
you inflict on me daily,
'cause your head is in pain.

I offered you love,
and a lifetime of life.
But you chose the other -
hurt, conflict and strife.

I can not disrupt,
my bubble that's calm.
'Cause your chaos living,
has only done harm.

You know you can't give me,
what I need in life.
And I can't keep living,
with nothing but strife.

You are the right man,
I believed was for me.
But now you have shown me,
deceipt has a fee

If you could stay sober,
for more than a week.
Life would be pleasant,
and we'd find what we seek

You've been in my heart,
for five years long.
I'd accepted the fact -
that we didn't belong.

The stars then decided,
to give us a try.
They gave us new wings -
to see how we'd fly.

The problem with flying,
if you have two wings.
They must both work equal -
to achieve greater things.

Both wings need to want,
the same final goal.
Or else one will tire -
and give up the toll.

But your wing was wounded,
and healing took time.
I believed love invincible -
and your love strong as mine.

How foolish I was being.
My heart lying to me.
'Twas fibbing when it made me think -
that love could set you free.

I do believe you love me,
though not enough for you,
to cast off all your shackles -
and do what you must do.

It hurts to be with someone,
that runs away from real,
and rather numbs lifes' blessings -
than allow himself to feel.

I'm clearly not the person,
thats meant to be for you.
'Cause if I was it wouldn't be -
so difficult to do.

In this life I hope you find,
the person that's for you.
And maybe she will show you things -
that I had tried to do.

Love's not about projecting pain,
'cause you are feeling small.
Those are the times you should reach out -
and let me break your fall.

I do believe our love is rare,
and written in the sky.
It's probably that the time aint right -
it's not our time to fly.

Make no mistake, love of my life,
I know we meant to be.
If not this life, then in the next -
we'll be as one, you'll see.

This is really weird…

What happened to me?

Everything disappeared…

Is this how it’s supposed to be?

Something’s drawing near…

But I won’t be able to see

It can sense my fear…

Now the beasts have been let free

Monsters

Ruthless creatures

Heartless

Missing features

Seeking a heart

It will start

To eat everything that holds fear,

To eat everything that I hold dear

They’re coming

I should start running

But the darkness surrounds me

Holds me

Chokes me

Blinds me

I know that it’s coming

My saviors in light, dark and twilight

But now it’s dawning

I pray I can make it through the night

I pray I won’t give up the fight

LIKE a huge Python, winding round and round  
The rugged trunk, indented deep with scars,  
Up to its very summit near the stars,  
A creeper climbs, in whose embraces bound  
No other tree could live. But gallantly        
The giant wears the scarf, and flowers are hung  
In crimson clusters all the boughs among,  
Whereon all day are gathered bird and bee;  
And oft at nights the garden overflows  
With one sweet song that seems to have no close,          
Sung darkling from our tree, while men repose.  

When first my casement is wide open thrown  
At dawn, my eyes delighted on it rest;  
Sometimes, and most in winter,—on its crest  
A gray baboon sits statue-like alone        
Watching the sunrise; while on lower boughs  
His puny offspring leap about and play;  
And far and near kokilas hail the day;  
And to their pastures wend our sleepy cows;  
And in the shadow, on the broad tank cast          
By that **** tree, so beautiful and vast,  
The water-lilies spring, like snow enmassed.  

But not because of its magnificence  
Dear is the Casuarina to my soul:  
Beneath it we have played; though years may roll,        
O sweet companions, loved with love intense,  
For your sakes, shall the tree be ever dear.  
Blent with your images, it shall arise  
In memory, till the hot tears blind mine eyes!  
What is that dirge-like murmur that I hear        
Like the sea breaking on a shingle-beach?  
It is the tree’s lament, an eerie speech,  
That haply to the unknown land may reach.  

Unknown, yet well-known to the eye of faith!  
Ah, I have heard that wail far, far away        
In distant lands, by many a sheltered bay,  
When slumbered in his cave the water-wraith  
And the waves gently kissed the classic shore  
Of France or Italy, beneath the moon,  
When earth lay trancèd in a dreamless swoon:      
And every time the music rose,—before  
Mine inner vision rose a form sublime,  
Thy form, O Tree, as in my happy prime  
I saw thee, in my own loved native clime.  

Therefore I fain would consecrate a lay        
Unto thy honor, Tree, beloved of those  
Who now in blessed sleep for aye repose,—  
Dearer than life to me, alas, were they!  
Mayst thou be numbered when my days are done  
With deathless trees—like those in Borrowdale,        
Under whose awful branches lingered pale  
“Fear, trembling Hope, and Death, the skeleton,  
And Time the shadow;” and though weak the verse  
That would thy beauty fain, oh, fain rehearse,  
May Love defend thee from Oblivion’s curse.

the wind
is willing me to the ground
and the sun
scrutinizing
squinting down in criticism
while i squint up in fright
and shame
but of what

plants curl
up
every which way to the sun
while my growth
is stunted

nothing is mine
i am not worthy
to see the sky
it is not mine to see
the wind
does not want me to stand
the sun
does not want me to stay

go
it tells me
you are not wanted
you are not worthy
these things
are not yours
go find something that is yours
it tells me
it shouts
and whispers
and pushes
and wills
me to move
away from the wind
away from the sun
anywhere but here
go
move
it shoos me
with
upturned noses
closed eyes
and beautiful
dainty hands
you cannot stay
we do not want you
not here
move
but i cannot move
so i hide
in the dark
in a room
from the sun
from the wind
from the light
but
so much beauty
i want to see it
i am drawn to it
but banned from it
i am not allowed
to see

Risk

And then the day came,
when the risk
to remain tight
in a bud
was more painful
than the risk
it took
to Blossom.
You were the target I hit with
              the dart,
I didn't like you, I never did,

       I loved you from the start,

The first time it was so hard to move on,
clenching my fists,
I wanted you back,
with me, not without me,
but together we were completely f

                                                              ­            l
                                                               ­             i

                                                               ­                g
                                                                                     incomplete
over the years the pieces began to not fit,
I pushed them together,
bit by bit,
but you didn't try hard ENOUGH for us,
because deep down you wanted us to be through,
to take time for yourself, to find out who you really were,
but we couldn't end it as just friends,
and when you found what you were looking for,
I took you back, again and again,
But no matter how hard we try, we keep losing us,
and once again
                   We've fallen
                                       down
                                                   We've sunken
                                                      so low,
we can't get back up,
beacuse a piece of ourselves is missing when we aren't together,
so we grab on to one  another,
                 for strength,
pulling ourselves up,
you make me happy again, but it's a messy cycle,
relationships without a friendship first,
is a sinking ship which is the worst,
it doesn't work because the trust isn't there, why can't you show me in the way that i'd like, that you really do care?
It's a game we play, from you to me,
staring into your eyes,
my anger dissapears as you begin
                                           to smile,
one false aquistion, and lack of communication,
we're off the page again, not knowing what each other said,
pushing me backwards, I fall off the cliff,
you finally shut the door and our lives together is no more,
you,
are all I see,
memories of us,
flashing before me,
I see the bottom coming near,
you wouldn't believe how much love was hidden by fear,
It's clear to me now,
you're my one and only,
IF ONLY,
we could have each other back,
communication is the key to unlock the door,
give it a chance and you will see,
it takes both of us, selfless, to be,
I guess it's too late,
my lack of trust, doubts, and fears,
and your lack of showing you care
this seems like a mistake, but you can't ruin fate,
we can't be together forever
                                                   and
                                                        ever,­
my life is coming to an end,
I hit the ground and scream,
waking up, I realize, it was just a dream,
          I grab on to you,
to never let go, admit my mistakes, and prove I have room to grow,
I don't want it to end, I'm done playing pretend,
I'm sorry,
it's what I've been needing to say,
today is a new day,
I don't want anyone else,
you do complete me in so many ways,
yes we have different interests with different lives,
different hopes and different dreams,
but what it's really about is being on the same team,
To be in life together, to support one another,
knowing what each others likes are,
the kinds of thoughts and gestures that go so far,
doing things because it would mean the world to you,
is what we should both strive to do.

I don't know where we go from here,
too many ups and downs to remember what's real,
But I do remember I was once completely in love, I want to be that girl again,
swept off her feet, with a simple hello,
let's create new thoughts,
opened book, page so blank and bare,
I know you really do care,
but i can't do it on my own,
we both need to GIVE to have a relationship again,
even if it is just a friendship with nothing more, without you in my life my heart stays sore, I want to be there for you through the ups and the downs, even as just friends I'll support you through the smile and frowns,
because i know what we had was special and it will always be,
the thought in my mind of one day you and me,
if it doesn't work out I will understand, but at least you'll be there as a friend to hold my hand,
I've loved you from the start,
it's your turn to choose,
look in your hand,
you have the dart.
