Listen* to these words,
for they are coming from my  heart.
Surrounded by this  thing,
that's making me fall apart.
You were once my  friend,
you used to be there for me.
Everyday I could  wake  up,
feeling happy and care free.

Sometimes bad things would happen,
but, you always turned it around.
Now you've dug a hole so deep,
how is the good supposed to be found?
You spill blood out of me,
as my mind starts slowing.
You rip me open,
my cuts are growing.
Being kicked and stabbed,
as my innocence is bled.
You're tearing apart this person,
that already feels dead.
Every step I take,
you send me down the wrong path.
I cry myself to sleep,
as you sit back and laugh.

So sharp and painful,
like the blade of a knife.
Cutting into my skin,
is the reality of life.

<3 Always,

its supposed to be me talking to life as a friend.

If I could come to you ..

be there for you
speak no words,
just hold you
in my arms,
place my hand in yours ..

I would



If I could be there ..

let you know
with my eyes
that all will be well,
just sit with you ..

I would



If I could be at your side

take your pain,
caress the hurt,
kiss your tears
with my hand on your heart ..

I would

~
If I could do one thing for you
It would be to make you know--yes,
Make you--
Know how incredibly wonderful you are.
We say we want to see the light, but yet we hide in the darkness.
I'm in the car watching the things outside the Window
Pass me by in fast blur of colors.
And is feels like my life,
Just passing me by, not really living it.  just watching  form a passenger side window,  never the one behind the wheel..
And I Wondered what my purpose is in life, or if I even have a purpose
Or if my purpose is Simply to be a lost, Wandering soul, never truly belonging.
nothing more then just a sad story,
With no meaning....

Each lover has some theory of his own
About the difference between the ache
Of being with his love, and being alone:

Why what, when dreaming, is dear flesh and bone
That really stirs the senses, when awake,
Appears a simulacrum of his own.

Narcissus disbelieves in the unknown;
He cannot join his image in the lake
So long as he assumes he is alone.

The child, the waterfall, the fire, the stone,
Are always up to mischief, though, and take
The universe for granted as their own.

The elderly, like Proust, are always prone
To think of love as a subjective fake;
The more they love, the more they feel alone.

Whatever view we hold, it must be shown
Why every lover has a wish to make
Some kind of otherness his own:
Perhaps, in fact, we never are alone.
Don't give up
when you wake up
and your head hurts
from the night before.

Don't give up
when she brakes up
with you
and your heart hurts more.

Don't give up
when you think
your God has let
you down.

Don't give up
when old friend
leave you on your own
again.

Don't give up
Please Don't give up!
More of a true story then I would like to admit.
Don't give up!            :-(   P@ul   ***.

you have to keep reminding yourself,
when you're feeling weak,
that drugs are kind of like an aeroplane,
crashing.

you feel bad,
they'll lift you up,
take you high into the sky,
above the clouds,
where everything is beautiful,
you'll feel better up there,
but it's only short term.

remember,
eventually the engines will start to fail.

you'll be falling at a ridiculous speed,
you'll crash against the ground,
and everything will go up in flames.

and that will feel ten times worse than anything you felt before.*

inspired by a poem i reposted, an na meeting and a conversation with a friend.
