Hope
You hide behind your part as a victim

Never taking a chance on something new

Forever blaming others for your own problems

You ask for help but push it away

Away to where they can’t reach you

Isolated in your own misery

I tried to reach you, to pull you out

But you pulled me down with you, till I had to choose between drowning with you or saving myself

I saw what could have been and wept

But in the end, I saved myself

I moved on and grew up

You didn’t

You are vain

Too caught up in yourself to see what you do to others

But I moved on

And I’m glad

I’d rather be happy without you

Than miserable with you
Ten tiny fingers
and
ten tiny toes.
All of which
I will carve,
and grind,
and mash
into this mold
that had been prepared
when you were just an idea.
A ray of hope.
A meaning of life.
A tiny,
vulnerable
egg.

You only know me,
therefore I am all that is.
My beliefs will become yours.
You will in turn become me,
except greater.
And I will expect nothing less.
You can not fail
because I have failed.
And you are perfect.
And you will be always,
because I have crafted you
from dirt.
And when you slip
I will remind you
what you are -
dirt.
Where is my home?

I do not think home is a house,
Home is anywhere I feel most at peace


I like listening to the blues

(bear this in mind,
       a true friend is hard to find
don’t mind
       people
grinning in your face)

Son house singing by himself
Clapping without rhythm
Just him and his voice and his hands and his heart


Whatever happened to that girl last year?

Oh, we grew apart

(I don’t understand
people who throw away “I love you"
or even worse;
“love you”
as if they could not bear
to attach themselves to the claim)

Asked to choose: heavy or light?

I hold a weight in my hand,
but then I grow muscle


(I am strong enough to hold the world on my shoulders)

O mio amico
let me know
315
we've been through enough
to throw words as daggers
deeply piercing hearts
racing, almost bursting
shatt'ring and breaking apart

yet we never do,
and may we never will.
for the things making us
bleed'll come to be the same
keeping us standing still

stronger day by day
imperfect, but in every way
perfect for each other

i once just yearned her my beautiful stranger
yet feelings haven't waned
since six months and before
i'll hold you safe, sweet found treasured
you're everything I wanted and more
lucid
reclusive
aint a job in this world
so i do this
i choose it.
abusive
inclusive
lyrics with no music
slowly comin down
from the roof its
abysmal
noctural
medical
spewing from my heart
internal
infernal
eternal.


words to an ancient lullaby
that only i can hear (and i don't know why)
flushes upon
my cheeky cheeks
it feels so queer
when i speak my speak.
hipsters and goblins
spokes from their mouths
i wanna rob them
mob them
sob them
sounds from the ether
i wanna shock them
out.


sell my soul for a dime full of emotions
peddle my heart for a little bit of potions
twist my tongue
and dab my eyes
room full of tears
but i got no cries
land full of ears
but i got no lies
body full of flesh
but i got no tries


elephant
irrelevant
beating my head
for the hell of it
chandelier
another beer
sleep thru the night
wake to the same fear


i don't know you
and you don't know me
there is no us
so there aint no we
just let me live
i'll let you be
i'll stay clear
but there is no free


toes toes
into the sand
wish upon a star
that i conquer this land
hoes hoes
i cannot stand
to nowhere i lead
place out your hand
Heart
is
empty.
With a soul mate I still find the absence of you , haunting.
Living seventeen years without you.
I'm worn thin,
like paper.
You've crumpled my trust and ripped out my expectations of a man.
Yet, why do I still call you daddy?

I found my outlet
no more room to vent

I found my solace
no more time to cry

I found my place
no more need to harm
Here I go again.  It is a New year so I decided to let you in again. Gave you a second chance?  A second chance to break my heart? The year has just begun, a well of tears overflowing,drip by drip they trickle down my cheek slowly soaking my pillow. Time for me to pick myself up and start over again. I said this at the start of last year. It seems to me that my new year is not so NEW....
If I tell you how I feel about you,It means I really care.
And I really hate that I care,
I just don't understand,why of all the people in the world,
It had to be you...  
If I could go back to the first day I met you, I would turn around and walk away.
Because now I know the real you
I feel sad,confused......hurt.
I ask myself,'' Do you really care?''
Your words and actions say, ''Yes!",but I not wanting to get my hopes up high tell myself,''No."
I've cried so many tears. Iv'e forced myself to stop thinking about you
And when I've finally succeeded in shutting you out,
You smile that smile,and I let you back in.
I wish I never saw you that day,
you...R.U.I.N.E.D me.
Not long before you came around,
An empty heart and lost soul were found.
He who stood where you do now,
Our hearts and souls that took a vow.
Our given trust, our emotions ran deep,
A quickened clock, rushed to weep.
Then came time to speak the mind,
Looking for words I could not find.
Before your breath could unveil the truth,
Before my heart held its proof,
Words were spoken in my ear,
Heart wrenching words I’d always feared.
With heavy limbs, cheeks soaked and red,
Air meaningless, life was dead.
Like the few others who came before,
The ones who just walked out the door,
Its strength and power held within,
That picks one up to start again.
As strength grows, the heart soon finding,
Where you stand now, two hearts binding.
Forgetting scars I once knew,
Every time that I’m with you,
Like an open book you read so well,
Reading page after page you can always tell.
Like the words are written on my face,
All those worries, gone, without a trace.
Time now passes, weeks go by,
Remembering that incredible Fourth of July,
No matter the time, no matter the day,
My feelings for you could never be pushed away.
The more days past the more I knew,
I would never again, meet anyone quite like you.
Butterflies in my stomach I couldn’t believe,
That months would go, yet, I still perceived,
That you still felt the way you did,
On that fourth when all fears hid.
But...
Without a warning, no doubt at all
You took a step back, you shielded you wall
From your actions, my heart plundered
The more time passed, the more I wondered.
Where you went, and why you shut down.
Why the hell were you not around.
All I saw was an empty shell
Thoughts of the past, you couldn’t dispel.
Put in a place you didn’t belong
Finally a decision you could no longer prolong.
Two years pushed you, broke you down inside
Two years taken, that you couldn’t rewind.
Past all the feelings, in the back of my mind,
Remembering why, I let my heart become blind.
Being reminded as time passed,
Knowing what we have, might not last.
Ticking time hit the clock,
I cannot run, I cannot walk,
Away from time which haunts me so.
Away from heartache, I’ve come to know.
Every moment spent with you,
Another memory I won’t undo.
I’ve grown so close, in fact too much,
Close to something I cannot touch.
They pass again, the hands of time,
And I hate the way there is no rhyme,
No rhyme, no reason, I’m left behind.
Praying… wanting time to just rewind.
Watching you leave, my heart feels death
Feeling our last kiss, our final breaths.
Keep in your mind, always know
That is was time, that let us grow
That is wasn’t long before you came around,
It was my heart and soul that you found.
No one can stand where you do now,
Because my heart and soul took a vow.
A given trust, emotions ran deep,
These are words to remember, words to keep.
<3   <3   <3   <3   <3
Time let me see, something I felt… something I already knew
The moment you walked away, I realized just how much…
I truly loved you.
If you choose to share this, I ask that you quote me. This was a piece of art that took two months to write and years to edit. Thank you and I hope you enjoy.
