Mistakes
Andy Cave Dec 2012
I wish I could return
to the time back when
we could talk for hours
and were the greatest of friends.
But I ******* things up
we drifted apart
now only memories remain
in this broken heart.

Forever and always
Andy Cave Dec 2012
Forever and always I'll be there for you
like you'll always be there for me.
I'll guide you through the sad and lonely nights of your past
like you'll guide me through my fear of what lies ahead.
I'll be the ship to lead you across the ocean of tears you have shed
and you'll be the plane to lead me through my infinite clouds of thought.
I'll be the blanket to keep you warm at night
and you'll be the one who will forever hold me tight.
Oh forever and always I'll be there for you
like you'll always be there for me.

Anger
Andy Cave Jun 2012
Your vision turns red, your blood pressure hightens
you lose all your sense and your fists they just tighten
you lose all control and you scream at the sky
then you shove your face in your pillow and begin to cry.

Black Mamba
Andy Cave Apr 2016
Dear Kobe,
For years I've watched and hated
as you tore through the N.B.A
but even though I despised you
I couldn't look away
You became one of the greatest
made me respect the way you play
from a three point shot to start your career
to sixty on your final day.
It's been a pleasure to hate you
but I'm sad to see you go
because beating L.A just won't be the same
without a Black Mamba show.

Awakening
Andy Cave Dec 2012
I take hold of your hand
not wanting to let go
my eyes start to water
beginning to overflow.
I drop down to the ground
I'm now on one knee
you know what's coming
"Will you marry me?"
Now your tears fall
you can't even express
you can barely manage
to say the word yes.
Now the wedding is here
we could hardly wait
to be together forever
twas our fate.
Our lips they lock
after the I do's
it's now time for the honeymoon
6 nights in Peru.
We've been together ten years now
I'm as happy as can be
but my happiness vanishes
when I awake from this dream.
I awake to realize
that I'll never have bliss
I'll be forever alone
with no happiness.

Sadness
Andy Cave Jun 2012
No one around to control all this madness
to stop all the hate and end all the sadness,
no one there to bring you up when you're down,
to pull you out of your sorrow before you drown.
No one there to smother your pain
to end all the sadness that makes you insane.

Broken and battered
Andy Cave Jun 2012
I've been broken and battered and felt my heart split in two,
but for some reason my mind always wanders back to you.
I hate that these thoughts never go away,
I just want you out of my life when once I thought you'd always stay.
Andy Cave Jun 2012
When I see that beautiful smile protruding from your face
it makes my heart pitter patter in a frenzied race.
Oh but it isn't just your smile that makes my heart beat fast
it's the way you talk so sweetly and our friendship that will last.
I am so extremely happy that you're here in my life,
yes without you my life would be lonly and filled with sadness and strife,
but it isn't, because I found you and you saved me from all this madness
you are my guardian angel thanks for ending all my sadness.

Shore to Shore
Andy Cave Oct 2012
There are men and women who fight for this nation
to defend and protect our whole population.
They do this for all, not just family and friends
but through tragic events many meet their end.
They die to protect the ones they hold dear
so we can live without constant worry or fear.
Yes I salute and commend the bravehearts of war
who protect this country from shore to shore.
Thank you to those who serve their country and put their lives on the line each and every day.

Through so much
Andy Cave Jun 2013
I know you've been through so much
and ache so deep inside.
I can't begin to understand how
you are so strong.
You've been abused
you've had your heart broken
you've cried a trillion tears.
Through all of what you've been through
you still are so sweet towards all
even the ones who have hurt you.
I know that it will take time
for your wounds to heal
and maybe not all of them will.
But what I can do is always
be there for you
always be your shoulder to cry on
always be there to answer your
calls at 3 in the morning.
You are the love of my life
and I will not allow for another
person to hurt you in anyway
shape or form.
I will try to heal the
breaks that have been
created in your beautiful heart.
You're my soulmate.

Valentines Day

Life rant poem
Andy Cave Mar 2013
Everyone plays a part in the game of life
some are meant to succeed and thrive
while many are starving and struggling to survive.

This game has top tier people who rule the rest
while there is people on the bottom rung just trying their best
there is people like you and me and if food's on the table we feel quite blessed.

The people on the top control most of the cash
while those down below struggle to even make a splash
even if given an opportunity it's gone in a flash.

To the greedy, the overly wealthy, the top tier class
I have something to say while it maybe rash
you can kiss my poor, lower class, white, American ***.

tears fall.

You said you loved me
well apparently not.
You left me broken

You said I'm the ONLY one for you

Natures heartbeat
Andy Cave May 2015
I love listening to natures heartbeat
the rain falling from above
the birds singing of love
the crickets nighttime chorus
coyotes howling in the forest
waves splashing on the beach
wind rustling up leaves.
Just close your eyes
and listen up
to hear natures

A fresh start
Andy Cave Sep 2012
You think that you are not pretty
for reasons I don't know why
well baby I think you're gorgeous
so amazing and so kind.
I love the way that you laugh
and I love the way that you smile
oh these things about you make my heart beat fast
for miles upon miles.
You're the sweetest thing I ever did see
though you do not think the same
you feel a bitterness inside you
because once you where just a love game.
You are my everything now
not just a pawn in chess
I love you more than anyone has
you are not a second guess.
I will treat you better than those guys from your past
oh baby you know I will
I will fix your heart from all those breaks
and once again it will feel.
Oh my darling I love you
and I swear to you that I will be there through it all
no nothing can stop me, not a thing
not chains or giant brick walls.
I will bring back the happy
and end all your sad
because I love you with all of my heart
Yes you will know how to feel again
as we begin our fresh new start.

Escape
Andy Cave Nov 2012
Close your eyes and listen to the beating of your heart.
Listen as it tries to escape,
escape from the cage from which you've kept it.
Let it escape,
let loose your love again.
Breathe in and feel,
feel as you should have felt all along.
Feel the happiness you've hidden away
and release the pain,
the pain that has imprisoned you.

Overlooked
Andy Cave Dec 2012
You call me when you are sad
and need someone to talk to.
You come over at midnight
to cry in my arms because
your boyfriend dumped you.
You say I'm as sweet as can be
and that I'd be the greatest
guy a girl could wish for.
Yet you don't see
the love I have for you.
The compassion that all
those other guys
haven't showed you,
and I have.
You say you can never
find a guy nice enough
for you.
But there is one for you
that you have
been overlooking.

that the pain you are feeling
is only temporary
that the heartache you're

will soon be gone.
I want you to know
that you are all loved
and even though
you hurt today
you will thrive tomorrow.
I want you to know
that you are all beautiful
on the inside and outside
and are perfect just how you are.
I want you to know

You
Andy Cave May 2015
You
You were always there for me
always able to put a smile on my face
you knew exactly what to say
to brighten my world up.
We were only friends
but for me it was much more
back then I was just figuring out
how powerful love can be.
I never once told you how
I truly felt
when perhaps I should have
because looking back
you weren't just my friend
you were my best friend.
I could ramble on for hours
of nonsense
and you would smile and laugh
and make me feel special.
But I never told you
how I felt
and slowly our lives
moved on in opposite directions.
So now I look back of
what could have possibly been.
I regret not telling you
however I look at the woman
you have become and
how happy you are with
your life and smile
because even though
I never acted on my feelings
I got to experience a truly special
friendship with a wonderful
person and will always treasure
the memories I made with you.
Andy Cave Jun 2012
Me being me and you being you
the perfect combination through and through.

I stand in this valley
a flood of colors surround me
green, blue, purple, yellow
a bounty of flowers all around.

towering, mysterious, desolate
beckoning me to come near.
I run towards them
through the valley of flowers
through the calm sea of colors
off to the unknown that awaits
at the top of the cliffs.

Jumbled thoughts

Quietly sitting lost in your thoughts,
thoughts so jumbled ******* in knots.
Everything complicated, you cannot think straight,
but then those thoughts come that make life so great.
The thoughts of the ones you hold so dear
the ones very precious that make everything clear.
They make everything brighter and better it's true
they're the ones that you love and the ones that love you.

Reflection

Take a look at yourself
what do you see
is this the person
you'd imagined you'd be
sunken eyes from sleepless nights
bitterness you hide inside
you try to hide your pain
push away your problems
just to feel ashamed
ashamed to hide from yourself
and ashamed to admit
you were wrong.

Yes in that moment you know everything's right,
then you lie down together and sleep for the night.

just trying so hard to bury this pain.
But no matter how much and how hard I try
the hurt escapes from deep inside.
I've tried to move on I've tried to forget
but just hearing your name makes my heart skip.
So now I'm lying in bed all teary eyed
hoping that this isn't our final goodbye.
I wrote this a long time ago but lost it so now that I found it I decided to post it.

breaking my spirit, sinking my ship.

Lost
Andy Cave Apr 2015
Green all around
nothing but trees
flowers blooming
buzzing of bees
squirrels running
under your feet
sun blaring down
blistering heat
nothing for miles
can't find your way
must start a fire
tonight you must stay
the wind chills your body
down to the core
and here comes the rain
a torrential downpour
what started as happy
a nice nature hike
turned into horror
and a fight for your life
so the torrent falls
and you shiver away
hoping and praying
to be found 'fore it's too late.
Andy Cave Jun 2012
There's a hole in my heart that's empty and sad
I want just to fill it so maybe I'll be glad.
I need this void filled so this sadness is lifted
and maybe some happiness I'll be gifted.
So until then I'll sit there, shaking
while my heart is so very slowly breaking.

Cuts
Andy Cave Jun 2013
She lies there oblivious to her surroundings
the only thing she knows is hurt.
She has yet to have felt the best emotion of all
Love.
She is swimming in grief and pain
but yet she won't let it show to others.
She lies there oblivious to her surroundings
while she slides the hot steel knife
deep into her skin.
The bite of the metal calms her
relaxes her.
She does this to force her pain elsewhere
but all it does is show the wounds
no one thought was there.
This was inspired by the book Willow by Julia Hoban.
