She was the brown eyed dreamer

Always hoping for the best

So full of aspiration

Until one day a man knocked on her door

This man's name was depression

He clung to her like a second skin

Tearing away her hopes and dreams

Suddenly everything she wanted

Seemed impossible

He held her down

And she tried to fight him

But all she was left with

Was fake smiles

So no one else would see the monster cloaking her

Depression ran her fingertip across a blade

And she fought to put it away

She won't let him win again

Even if it feels like he is

He makes her heart break some days

And on others he lets her breathe

His cruelest trick is making her cry

When she almost feels happy.
A clove of garlic keeps vampires at bay
keeps a cold away
wish the lady would stay, but
she goes too.

I'd ban 'flu
man 'flu
nothing new there.

A pillow
to lay low
and under
the duvet, eyes closed
a rainbow of light.

I read Tolstoy
oh boy.....

,,,,spotting a Beano at the end
of the rainbow
I read that as well.

Garlic stinks don't ya think
I don't think at all
as I fall
asleep.

Forgotten Heart
You only know
The real me
After midnight
And
How I wish
To be Together
With you
During those hours

Your husky voice
Makes me yearn for you

Your lovely mourn
Makes me awake the whole night

Those crazy conversation
We share
During those hours
Ohhhhh!!!!!
How I wish those
To come true.....

Those Late night Phone calls
Were the best part
In my life......

Those Conversations
Are Still
Running through
My mind.......
Crazy thoughts are filled in my mind ryt now

I am my own disease

It spreads like wildfire

My veins burst

My skin bruises

My insides begin to die

I am my own disease

You are the cure

So far and out of reach

I will die

Before ever even getting close.

I
Think
I
Can
Call
These
Nights
As
Lost
Nights
As
my
Sadness,
Sorrows,
Stress,
Loneliness
And
All
The
memories
lost
From
My
Mind
!!!!!
I still love you

I have not cut into my skin
In three long years
I didn't need to feel the pain
When I had your words
Your cruel words
Carving into my skin

In between bliss
Stood the cold heartbreak

The words that will always haunt me

The looks that will always shatter

No I do not need a knife

I have your words to slice through me.
A most valuable asset
we let
slip,
we
trip over the
numbers
on the dial,
why not file
a complaint?

Sometimes I get angry
that it is so easy
for me to invoke emotion
in others
yet so hard
to do so
within myself.
Then I realize
that at least I still feel something.
