Loneliness
surrounds him as
Friends disappear
without a

“Goodbye,”
He said, as he walks out the door.
She screams after him.
He leaves no

Trace
the lines on her face. He knows they were
created from too many trials;
Fifty to life is a long time to

Leave
behind everything.
“Nobody loves me anyways,”
she thinks, as she pulls the

Trigger
the memories that were once
a reality.
Her plastered on smile can’t hide the

“Pain
is just a four letter word,” he says.
Little does he realize how much he
causes in the quest for

Perfection  
never happens.
She can’t stop striving for it
as she is

Starving
for attention.
The only way to make his parents see,
is to cause

Trouble
ER Helmke Jul 2012
summer is a time for tan, trouble, and new
loving? thinking about how if I
had not gone back, there wouldn’t be you &
me. feelings as clear as
a bright blue sky or a
blast of winter air.

Thoughts
r  u  n
through my mind.

[no more heartbreak?]

I don’t know this feeling. Is it
Love? Have I finally found the one? Is it
You?

My heart &
my head
beg for a
“yes”.

BEWARE!

Taking the

I’m yours.
ER Helmke Jul 2012
For weeks I’ve
Rarely slept;
Useless with
So many pains.
Tests give no
Results; can’t
Act happy. The
Thoughts run
Inside a mind
Outraged and
Nonsensical.

Pictures in the mirror
Revealing too much
All for you.
My first kiss and touch
Made me go good to bad
It ends.
No more compliments
You disappear as I try to stop it.
One year passed by,
No longer innocent.
Summer heat brings you back to me.
Sneaking you in to my home,
And my heart.
I let you take all of me.
A kiss goodbye and just like that,
You’re gone again.
ER Helmke Dec 2011
torn between two things
what is right and what is wrong?
happiness leaves you

thoughts placed in your head
no help from anybody
guidance is rare now

head aches through the night
answers are what you seek out
not a single clue
ER Helmke Dec 2011
Story of your life,
For every emotion.

When words
Don't
Work,
Listen to the story and
Find yours.

Tears can be shed,
Smiles can be shared,
Emotion is released.

Songs for everyone.

month of October
smell the fall air all around
so fresh, so calming

leaves changing colors
brilliant reds and yellows
no green can be seen

cool breeze blowing
nature shows us such beauty
please stay forever
