I can't get away from you.
I'm here, I'm there, you're there.
You follow me always, everywhere.

There’s no escape from the heartache,
There’s no escape from the pain.
I hate my home, our home.
I can’t go in our room, I choose the couch.
I’m fading away, I can’t be here.
I’m losing it, just like I lost you.

I try to lose you.
I try effortlessly to lose the memories.
I try to lose the laughs,
they just won’t go away.
I want them to vanish like you did so easily,
you're everywhere.

I wrapped my life around you,
so many years lost.
I would have followed you anywhere,
you were my shining light.
I miss you more than anything,
but I know you’re gone forever.

I hate how much you still matter to me,
I hate how I still care so much.
Why do I do this to myself?
I hate that I can’t let you go,
I hate knowing how easy it is for you.

I never thought this would have happened,
we’ve made it through much, more than I ever thought I could handle.
I thought the rough waters were over,
little did I know they’d just begun.

You’ve changed so much,
but you’re my best friend.
You were my other half,
but now you’ve faded away.
You were my life,
but now you’re gone.

What happened to us?
Why aren’t you mine?
How did we let it get this far?
I guess I’ll never know.

No more light through the window doth glow
No more wisteria vines to climb and grow
Grandparents long since dead
The home remained abandoned wondering what lied ahead.
***** never more to play
Piano keys crushed by cruel hands that day
Torn, broken, and abused
Deceived, tricked, and misused.
Farewell to the best home with rosy hue
Farewell to the light shining through
You were torn apart never to be mended
Life's joy inside your walls all to soon had ended.
We remember you with smiles through our tears
For we miss seeing the home we saw for many years
As long as I can remember and before
You were always there with old cherished door.
Though still gone, you're preserved inside our heart
The best keepsake box that will never break or fall apart
And while I miss you especially on days like today
Forever in my poetry you will safely stay!
Although I never once lived inside those priceless walls
My heart to you calls
And as fresh as the morning is new
Is my poetry and love for you.

Dedicated to my Mom, Hilda!!! ~~~~<3
I was recalling how her home was torn apart
Last summer by cruel bulldozers!!! ~~~~<3
Poor Mom had some lovely memories inside that home...
I feel so sorry for her...and even though it has been
Almost a year now, I still miss it and I am sure she does too!!!
So here's my poem of comfort for her
And what we used to call "The Old House"
Which Was Destroyed In 2013!!!
Please Enjoy My Poem And Forgive
My Inane Ramblings....I Apologize...
I'll Try To Do Better Next Time!!! :) ~~~~<3

I dream of a haven in the stars

Some lilac bower sweet

I dream of a cottage nestled in the woods

A place where peace dwells in the air

I dream of harp strings

Singing to me a melody in the clouds

I wish for tranquility instead of war

And so I dream of some place

Where only peace resides

Some place where I can safely lay my head

Upon a pillow of dewy ferns

‘Neath a canopy of mist and fog

Somewhere where we can start life afresh

With a new, happy beginning to our chapter in life

And so I dream, without an end

And so I dream, what may never come

Little breaths of secrets on the wind

And still night breezes

In an enchanting forest

Where dreams do come

And so I dream, e’en though perchance in vain

Gonna be
What i'm gonna be

Doesn't matter
How you sing it

I have to be
Fluid and free

It doesn't matter

Where the breeze
Takes it

They are gonna see
What they wanna see

It doesn't matter to me

They are gonna think
What they wanna think

With only half the story

It doesn't ******* matter

I'm gonna be big one day
Get stuck in a cave

And i'm gonna sing one day
Into your blades

A slave to the pain
We will float away in a daze
Of my ways straying
Through the stains
Of my disdain

And of my profanity

Happily
******* clad

For all to see

The worn scars
Of moonbeams
Puncturing my heart
With fresh starts

And of parts grown
Big enough to impart

Mourning

Oaring throw the dark

From broken homes
Of loneliness
And atonement

To your unknowing
Unto mine

Bigger
Blacker
Cloud of nine

Pull me closer
Track the mileage

See me through
Or see me out

Just shut
Your ******* mouth

hear it out

The wind
It blows

A cinder of thought

The grin
From whispers

Tickling to talk

The clock
It spins

In predictable sections

But the hand
It slows

In lesser lessons

Be a friend
Be an enemy

Just don't disrupt
The creative energy

Take me

Take me down the stream

Make me
Make me see again

But forgive me
Forgive me now

I will leave you there
Crying out

For crying out loud
From emptied stares

We can laugh
When its way back there

And nothings as barren
As it seems

Gonna be big one day
Gonna get stuck in a cave

Gonna sing to you one day
Sing to your blades

Gonna slave to your pain

And we

We will still be

Okay

Cece
everything

is a haze

my vision
is blurred

while
everything
moves

excruciatingly
slow.

a week feels like a month

and I dont want to talk to anyone
or even be around people at all.

it hurts to think of you
because waiting
is impossible.

and I feel faint
when I skim across
the thought
that I
can't kiss you
goodnight

I don't want to think
at all;                  
I don't want to exist.

I shut down
while you're away.

I hide
and wait
to become
human again.
