It's funny how much power twenty-six letters hold

maybe you were only saying those things because it was the middle of the night
and the moon made you delirious
but can i say them back in the middle of the day
when the sun makes me high?

I've been told
time can heal anything
but it seems time won't let me forget
it can't put back together
all the glass I have shattered

with all my sharp edges
and my pointed parts
i tried to keep from cutting you too

time can't heal
it can't fix my enduring guilt
all these things I don't speak of
they're burried
playing with the debris
and I guess I'm just Sorry for saying Sorry

-are you in love with her?
-does that make me a freak?
-i think anybody who falls in love is a freak its a crazy thing to do its kind of like a form of socially acceptable insanity

sharp shots to the nerves
helping to dissipate the numb that
infects the core

footsteps creeping forward
approaching something
that appears to look like better stories

faces painted for the daytime
keeping the moments predictable but
leaving the hearts yearning for chaos in the nighttime

a sincere wish that, as each morning breaks, we mend
...a ten word bedtime story...

Our mortal sins and fatal flaws,
our selfishness for "the better cause".
Our greed, our envy and lust,
our desire for acceptance, our ignorant trust.
Our broken promises and tainted lies,
the human race, the smog filled skies.
Just kind of wrote it.
What do you think? Do any of you have suggestions for future poems? Areas of strength, weakness? I'd really like to hear some feedback! Thank you for reading.
