Everyone washes up
on some distant shore
whether through design
or happenstance

Riptides dragging us
currents taking us
either through the
grinding routine
or the adventurous
spirit of the tides

Either way

We find ourselves
in places we
never intended to go

The water lapping
the warm sand so sweet
reminding us
never turn our back
on the ocean

or risk being
swept away,
delivered to
some shore,
trapped in some life
we never cared
to know.

The sun sets
of course in the west
The Pacific is anything but,
when we find ourselves
swept up

on a distant shore
in an alien landscape
wondering
how did we get here
at all.

you don't deserve love
even if it came running towards you
like a child to his mother

you don't deserve love
even if it slapped you in the face
like thunder during a storm

you don't deserve love
even if it appeared before you
pristine and untainted,
its purest form

you don't deserve love
because the people who loved you
only saw themselves hurting,
like a dagger,
YOUR dagger,
to their chests

She is the tear drop
Crying for her soul
Forever and ever

cigarette butts
stained red
from desperate lips
dust her feet
from the ashes
drifting down from the tips,
where they flicker and burn
at the point they've been lit
by shaky hands of a woman
who can't give up
and quit

knuckles bruised blue,
bits of bone showing through
her head hurts from voices
telling her what to do
noises screech loudly,
she hears something new
then she takes her own life
when no one has a clue

His eyes..

His eyes are beautiful,
His eyes were watching you;

His eyes are open and round,
when you see them they'll turn your frown upside down;

His eyes are filled with beauty and pain,
With no hopes of dreadful gain;

His eyes were filled with happiness now that has all been concurred by misery and agony,
To think that all that was present before was a big phony;

Those eyes that once made you feel safe are now the eyes that make you feel incomplete and to what purpose do you owe this defeat,
Times like this you try to fix but it's as if the pain is a record and once a smile come the pain will come  back around as if it's stuck on repeat.
