She needs someone

Not words to ponder
Not ears to listen

But a hand to hold and a shoulder to cry on.

But if you leave, promise me this
Promise me you'll find someone who
Can't wait to hear about the crazy
Dreams you had the night before
Someone who knows about the
Whale birthmark on your thigh
Someone who thinks your laugh
Is the only sunshine they'll need
And your eyes are the only stars
They want to look into at night
Someone who gets giddy when
They think about holding your hand
Find someone who knows the places
Your hands have been and appreciates
their strength they hold despite it all
Someone who understands
Your banter and feistiness
Find someone who loves you for
Who you are not what you have
Overall, if you decide to leave
I hope you find someone
Who can love you in all the ways
I couldn't
I love you so much.
They say you can't save someone
Who's been thinking about suicide
Honestly though no one believes that
Everyone who has dealt with suicide
Blames themselves for the death of the people they cared about
It doesn't always last forever
Though it does stick around for awhile
The depression and the guilt
The feeling that it's going to happen again
Always putting up a wall so no one can ever hurt you again.
Because the pain is just to much to bear
I can't really speak for all of the people
Who've ever dealt with suicide
I think that most will agree though that these words are true  
For me and you
These words strike home
They hit us hard even though we thought we had moved on
Even if we think we're not affected by it anymore
It lingers inside of is
Waiting for the moment it can devastate us.
It's like a curse
Its always there
Even if we're unaware
So why lie and say we are fine
We are most certainly not although we don't wanna admit it but we could probably use some help.
Suicide is life changing
It can wreck someone who has to deal with loved ones doing it.
It can change government policy
Or even world policy.
Suicide is a very powerful topic and action
It's not too be used lightly
Or brought up in a joke
When people realize this
Then maybe something amazing could happen
We could actually save a life maybe.

Our meeting was nothing more
Than a quiet return of a memory
a gentle waking
to love's eternal melody
low
i made love once
once while I slept,
while i slept off the whiskey
slipped off my clothing and
stepped off the curb.
and awoke to the smell of
something musky
dank - rusty?
i made love once
over the course of a week
i made love to four bottles
and me.
no romance here - memory - now it's gone

Brent
even when all stars align,
you still wouldn't be mine.

For that
one look,
for that
one touch;

Oh well.
