The distance between us is farther than miles
Frustration brings us on the verge of exile
One touch, one look brings us close
Two many days apart and we begin to choke
First comes fighting then comes silence
A little communication would bring guidance
One date, one kiss is all it would take
love from you, would end my heartbreak...

I've taken your talons out of me
Yet the poison still remains
Too soon for these wounds to heal
But the pain is still the same
The poison has weakened me
The melody of music fades
Coursing through my veins
Food has lost its taste
Everything is so black and white
Colorblind these days
Love is but a construct
Lust was just a phase

Alone in his kindom he wept
Moon lit nights he barely slept
Pacing the halls he never dreamt
His bride, his queen an untimely death

Trapped in the kindom with a ghost
Madly looking at the ivory coast
Cruel intentions set into our host
The outcome of cancer Diagnosed

Her memory to others was jaded
Even the tombstone was faded
This wasn't the life he thought he created
Depression quickly invaded

Up at the castles tallest tower
was our kings final hour
Without his queen he had lost all power
The rope tightens quickly as the last tombstone reads "to my beloved wildflower".

The problem is, what if I already had the one?
The best relationship I was ever gonna have.
What if the reason I'm alone, is no one compares to how amazing the last one was.
What if I'm so scared to make the same mistakes and lose yet another one?
Loneliness isn't just about waiting for the better one, it's also having the best one and finding it hard to move on after.

The crack in the sky
The blood orange glow
The tear in his eye
Of sorrow and woe
The lost traveler
Love in hand
World unraveler
Heart in command
From the great lakes
To the land that shakes
With a Warm embrace
He meets a new face
The crescent moon howls
The trees sing with laughter
The lonely wolf growls
No happy ever after...

It's quiet,
when it creeps up.
No sound, not even a word.
It's peaceful, till it isn't
Then you ask around
Still just quiet...
Alone with your thoughts
It doesn't even knock..
It doesn't even break through the **** door
It's just there.
Alone.
Viewing people through screens
Forgotten.
Left behind.
either way it's the same.
All alone with this cumbersome voice
Driving you insane.
The feeling makes you fidget and Pace
Makes you fight and complain
Bed softly quiets your demons
Then your tired and feel drained
In your head running a place
With no escape.
alone again this feeling that I hate.

Her soft lips
Long finger tips
Running down my skin
A parade of goosebumps March
As she begins to grin
Having complete control Over my body
Thinking of something to say
My words become sloppy
Over Thinking takes place
Nervous, she continued to make way
Destruction to my psyche legs begin to quake
She keeps me quiet no need to hesitate
Alarm goes off, I spring awake...

Counting back the days
Counting, counting
Now it's a blurry haze
Cigarettes and Midnight silhouettes
Fueled my teenage years
It's time to fight these tears
Counting and counting
Walking home till dawn
Passed out on mother's lawn
Oh what a disgrace I've became
Counting, still counting
My skin and memories
Are like prison bars
Just strong enough to hold me
Not the  life momma wanted or fancy cars..

Don't dream of me when I'm gone,
I wanted nothing but to stay.
Yet here I am passing
You have nothing left to say.
Looking back through the glass
Of where my picture lay
My memories before they pass
Showed happiness portrayed.
Broken, useless, covered in dust
For all the gifts I payed
Your the one I trusted
This poem is what I have to say
You lied, you cheat, took me for a fool
You sought out lust.
Used me as a tool
Heartless beauty with skin so divine
I'm sorry loving you was my gulity crime...

Although it was short lived,
the ride is what brings excitement to the journey. ~Life.~* -kyle shirley

Your my first thing in the mornin
Your the worst thing in the afternoon
Late at night without warnin
Misery sinks in around two

It's not being in bed without you
It's not even talking
It's the sexless nights
And I'm left wanting

It's you and him
Not me and you
It's an outlook that's grim
The sky is no longer blue

I've become obsessed
over every tear that's shed
Running my fingers through her hair
As her head lay on my chest
Counting the seconds till she can rest
She is my peace and i feel blessed
she runs to me for salvation
This patience takes years of motivation
Practicing meditation
To handle this woman's frustration
There are days I can't take it
I smile but inside I fake it
For better days will come
Over 100 times ive thought to run
Leaving her with past demons
All alone for her face them
I'm right her don't you cry
Save those tears for our last goodbye

As we part ways
branching into our own journeys,
I look back to see if you look back at me to..
When I stop and stare,
Waiting for any response,
I only see your head held high
never skipping a beat,
i feel foolish
for going on this long.
without the same care.
Without any desire for me.
I look forward
Memories rewinding in my head
Playing back the tape
To keep me company
On my journey ahead.

More and more with age
My place where hope thrives
Is a blank book with a stained page
Leaving me helpless, I began to sigh
like a light left on, i start to dim
his feeling has made my outlook grim

This poem is for you
After the night I made you blue.
The sunset washed with beautiful pink
All it took was 1 yes to a drink
Falling for you was like a shooting star
For all it took was that last bar...
My hopes and chances rocketing down
Sitting on cloud nine before, now it's a frown
God you wore that beautiful red dress
Here I sat the next day a babbling mess
A goddess you are to me
But not one part of you will hear my plea..
Dear Red this poem is for you,
Now this poem makes number two
Remember when x marks the spot?
Talking about that red mop on top?
You give me chills when your near
Now the chills are engulfed in fear
I'll never have another chance
Last Saturday night might be our last dance...

How the full moon so bright
Look how the stars align tonight
Reminisce my Youthful Twilight
How cool are the summer nights
with her felt so right
Cuddled up together so tight
I blink
Now it's behind me
Fast forward twenty
Nothing it used to be
Alone with money
Can't make me happy
If only I could see
And stop this from happening.

Now go on, I won't say no more
My heart ain't in it but I'll hold the door
Watch you leave one last time
Oh hunny if loving you was a crime
I think about you every day
All the little cute things you say
Leave me in more than one way
With time, not even memories will stay
Now go on, I won't say no more
My heart ain't in it but I'll hold the door...

I too am fluent in silence
Come sit next to me
Tell me your violence
Sing your song of misery
I'll sit and listen
Heart aches in my treasury
Trapped in my own prison

Glued to my fear
Lend me your hand
Feel these tears
Stories so grand
Reminisce the wasted years

I'll follow you
To have and to hold
You know it to be true
Hearts made of gold
Alone at last, let's see this through

Our Lust for flesh Has got to end
No empathy for human kind
The digital eye has made the world blind
*** craved teens to
Marching hybrid death machines
Ending our suffering
With Satire life memes
No need for begging
We have apps for that
Taking selfies with our cat
At the tables playing craps
Gambling our student loans
"Don't worry mom I'm grown"
Buying time we will never own
School never prepared us for this
Every new drug we take creates bliss
We don't have time to mourn our loss
Even if it comes at great cost

You say you wanna man
But your not willing to open yourself up
You say you want love
But your not willing to love the flaws
You say you want romance
But your not willing to give
You say you want trust
But your not willing to bleed
You say these things
But no action has been deserving of a man

He never spoke about his feelings
They were his to hide
The best kept secret
Till he was too late
Hand in hand
With another man
His dreams
And thoughts of desire
With her
Started to disappear
He could hear the echo
Of laughter as they walked further
Might as well been fate
Mocking him for his mistake
A secret he will keep to his grave

The blood orange moon pierced the night sky unveiling where demons lie,
True lovers intertwined
By the thighs
he moans, she crys

whereabouts unknown
some demons never shown.
Not even the darkness of night
Can conceal the blood moons light

I miss the taps on my window pane
The feeling of being wanted kept me sane
But it's just the rain
Reminding me, the sound of your name

I miss the phone calls
The passing notes in the halls
How can the world be so small
When your not in it at all

From the arm wrestles to the cuddling
The first moment you caught me blushing
Once we started struggling
Heart break was when you started noticing

In the small corner of my mind
Resides a place where my memories lie
Inside that door
I stand cold and alone
Every memory is still as stone
I've made many attempts to escape
But depression starts to take shape
cherishing the happy thoughts like glass
Anything good never lasts
Close my eyes and begin to count sheep
Hopfuly these memories can go to sleep

Tears still fall
Memories will fade
Life is but a masquerade
These masks we wear
To hide our fear
The pain is real
Scared to feel
That we won't heal

My father left me one night
Not saying a word
Running away from the fright
Of living in a lonely world
Left his kids back home
To find the love of his life
We'll sit here till were grown
He is still chasing his wife
Lone traveller lost again
Romance will be his last
Love of a woman he must befriend
The demon still fights with his past
The dance with the devil
In the pale moonlight
Is better than living with the evil
In the darkest of night
I hope he finds what he searches for indeed
Even when he comes back
Us kids are still left in need...

Unto the breach dear friends
together we fight depression
May we ask ourselves
why they don't want us?
The real question is why
do they only want themselves?
Even the mirror struggles looking at such indifference
they're emotionless desire for Beauty
has left them blind and bitter
yet we still wish we were special enough
to feel Grace from their presence.

Oh to dream,
To have a life of love
To dream of the freedoms
that money buys
Fancy cars and loyal friends
Oh to dream,
To dream that money buys
get out of life free cards
Oh to dream,
To dream that everyone wants you.
Me oh my, to dream we never die
That money Brings bright blue skys
Where the root of happiness lies

years ago,
man made words
To describe feelings,
To help while you feel lost,
While searching for the words that fit,
live a life.

With love
Even when your losing
your still winning
Love doesn't quit
Man does
Love is endless
Till man gets greedy
Even in the darkest of times
If love is still a glimmer
You still have a way out
But if you turn your back on the light
You have lost your way forward.
