It's funny how much I missed you
And then years later when I was given another chance
I laughed at it
I couldn't seem to understand why I wanted this
So I neglected it
And not long after
We ceased

A month later
I've come to miss her again
And 'realize' what a fool I was
to let what I always wanted
to slip away between my fingers

Such an odd feeling.

I think I simply crave
what I know I can no longer have

She tried to be a daughter
But never had a chance
She would have
been
Could
have
Been.
But no one was there
so she went
her way
And made her way
She became
who she is
Today
Day by day
And
For all her beauty
she still hides
Though
she shouldn't,
Behind forgotten pain
To my friend Stacey, who I would be proud to have as a daughter

I want to be alone,

I want every park bench to be empty and cold. I want to sit on the sturdiness of loneliness and feel the harshness of success. You don’t know me. No one does. I want to travel this city barefoot to feel every struggle and perseverance slip between my toes. I hate my feet. I want to hear the screams of frustrated men and women creeping through the alley. I pray for silence.  I want to feel the wholeness within me spring up with longevity and curiosity. I love to cry. I want you to be here with me holding my trembling hands. I crave to be alone. I dream of a world that I own that consist of just me, I want to run wild and free, while the wind tussles my hair with no mercy. I miss you. I want to remember no one, not even me so that way I can roam in this world with no attachments not even to my pride or standards. Don’t forget me. I want to hear the echoes of the moon whispering to the ****** on the dampened slick grass. I wait for morning. I want to sink my teeth into the tears of the earth, letting it fill the gaps as I slush around the meek but salty taste to feel alive. I have always needed braces. I long for the arrogance of man to cease to exist. I long for their stupidity.  I see you standing there in the middle of my paradise, I see the sun falling down on your shoulders, I see the woman behind you and the crowd of people with her. I see them not knowing who I am and I see there blankness stare of “care”.  I see their smiles inviting me in with yours as it starts to drizzle dreams, gliding down everyone’s pulsating hearts. I walk to you. I want to be alone.

i'm original
in my style of plagiarism
a brand-new bottle
...alternate take...

Same Old Whine

unoriginal
plagiarizing life itself
a brand-new battle

insidious...
the forces that bend us toward self-destruction

insidious...
the illusions that feed those malevolent forces

insidious...
the stories that construct those obscuring illusions

insidious...
the thoughts that metastasize into those deluding stories

insidious...
the mind that identifies with those detrimental thoughts

innocent...
the soul that succumbs

Days of Dawn
Red
Blood
fresh and warm
pulsing
right under the skin

Lips
bright and succulent  
kissing
the wrong person

Rose
pretty and fake
smelling
better from afar than close

Red is a betrayal
Red is rage
Red is lust


Red is the memory of you

Days of Dawn
O
exited for a new start
having a bad day
not okay
friendless

trying his best
tripped
shoved
lost

unappreciated and disregarded
optimistic
kind
alone

in the library
in a corner
in a book
in tears

bullied and ridiculed
bruised
battered
broken

free-falling quickly
hitting reality
impaled
"scratched"

getting crushed
needing help
helpless
dark

hiding his anguish
not being good
shattered
waiting

pessimistic and depressed  
worrying his mom
a shadow
dripping

Locking the door
writing a note
preparing
tearful

saying silent goodbyes
not falling asleep
not ready for it
finally dead

This body is a poor man's idea of grandeur-
and Talk To Frank says that confidence doesn't come in tubes,
pills nor injections, but when tomorrow morning you
feel like **** with a stomach-pit of methylamphetamine
and a head craving caffeine,
you'll disagree and say to him,

*Look, I talked to a girl I wouldn't normally talk to and we kissed.

First of all,
I wonder why,
So many people dream at night.
What is the wonder,
I shall see,
That ensnares many like me.
I don't really know. I wrote whatever I wrote. No seriously. Like what. Anyway, first poem on this website hope its okay.
