How to forgive yourself

Dec 2014 Phil B

How to forgive yourself

Take a long look at the road
you walked past and wonder of
how many stops you made
and how many you had to take.

(Was the meter still running
when you had me waiting outside
your house waiting
for it to become a home you
would have never built with me?
But become a visitor in a gallery
of art I could never understand.)

Live each day like a sombre white
and watch over your thoughts
as if you had a limit to how much
you could hurt yourself
because there is only so long
the Father could hear and only so many hail Marys that can keep you

sinless as the day you were born.

Plant a tree for every heart you broke
and watch someone else carve their stories
in you.

"How do we forgive ourselves for the things we did not become"

Prisoner of time

Prisoner of time

Please don't forget me, don't make me your past
I know time is fleeting, time is moving too fast...
Every second of everyday I'm a prisoner thinking about you
What could have been, what should have been, if only we knew...

Don't make me an old memory that you ignore everyday
Because time keeps on ticking and I might fade away...
I'm stuck in the past and you and me are turning to dust
I've lost all my freedom and we are beginning to rust...

So before we wither and before you lock me into your past
Please know that behind these bars, I have only one thing to ask...
Don't forget me, don't forget all the things in the past
Because I'm a prisoner of time and time is moving too fast...

I want, I want

The Noose

I want, I want

I want to fall in love
With a man who knows
How to calm trembling hands
And kiss shy eyes.

Red splatters all around,
Once-white canvas cold on the ground.

Creation of sweat and blood
In an emotion-bound rage.

Not a work of art by any means, but a heinous crime.
It was an accident...
