The hardest day wasn't the day we got in trouble for sneaking out.
It wasn't the day you told me what you did with the other guys.
It wasn't even the day we got busted for messing around, and couldn't talk for 2 months.

The hardest day is everyday since you left me.
The hardest day is waking up knowing I lost you,
Knowing some other guy is holding you.
Some other guy is your happiness, your everything.

The hardest day is knowing I will never hold you in my arms again,
Never taste your lips,
Never see your smile.

The hardest day is hating my life,
Telling people I'm okay,
Pretending I don't care.

Everyday without you is the hardest day.

The time we spend here
passes in the blink of an eye,
And before you know it
it’s time to say goodbye.

We suffer so much
in our given season,
But the pain we feel
happens for a reason.

So you can learn to appreciate
the good things when they come,
Like the memories of dear friends
or the rays from the rising sun.

I know it’s hard now
and I won’t pretend it’ll be easy,
But we’ll heal and carry on
despite the wounds that’ve cut so deeply.

Goodbye isn’t really goodbye
we’ll meet again someday,
So hold your head a little higher
and just take things day by day.
What I want and what I need are two different things
For instance I want you
But that doesn't mean I need you
But wanting somebody can lead to needing their presence
Cause only you know deep inside they're the cure to your misery
One look at their face will make you feel warm and comfortable
But as soon as you lose it
You sure as hell won't get it back
Life is unpredictable cause you can't always have what you need
I won't forget the day you said
That you will love me forever
And with that glow in my finger
I entrusted my life to you
My past
My present
My future
All of me
Is yours.

I don't know why you left me
Sailing alone
You started smiling
While I'm here
Waiting for your help.

You waved your hand
Like boasting
The absence of your ring
While curving a confident grin
From that face I longed to touch
But slowly fading from my eyes.

Into the sea
You left me
Drowning
From the misery
Of your retreat
But, no!
I struggled
To swim
And live
For you
Because I was still hoping
That one day
You'll come back
To rescue me

But you never did.

Now I have learned
To swim against the waves
Reached the shore
And can play with the sea-

   I don't need you anymore.
For her...

*A new version of an old piece. I altered the last verse then added another , then the final line.

A FREE verse.  LOL

Some Person
I'm trying
to rely on
the right people
instead of the wrong,
but I find I don't have
the right people
to rely on

no one seems
to be a person
who's healthy
for me to confide in

some are healthy
in their own life,
but not right for me
to seek comfort in

others are unhealthy
or unstable;
not a solid foundation
from which to build

the issues I have
seem to be internal,
so perhaps it's best
I go it alone
I'm sure parts of this are untrue, but it's how I feel, so it's what I wrote.
the house next door makes me
sad.
both man and wife rise early and
go to work.
they arrive home in early evening.
they have a young boy and a girl.
by 9 p.m. all the lights in the house
are out.
the next morning both man and
wife rise early again and go to
work.
they return in early evening.
By 9 p.m. all the lights are
out.

the house next door makes me
sad.
the people are nice people, I
like them.

but I feel them drowning.
and I can't save them.

they are surviving.
they are not
homeless.

but the price is
terrible.

sometimes during the day
I will look at the house
and the house will look at
me
and the house will
weep, yes, it does, I
feel it.
