My sails are set for today
by a crew full of lovers
brimming with goodwill
all creation conspires together
to transport her children
across the seas of turbulence
to arrive on the distant shore
getting closer, closer, closer.

it was in the beginning of the end of spring
and all i wanted was you
you bathed my eyes in loving lies that sting
while you hid away the truth
every moment that you take a step back
you'd rather walk a mile
and if you even told me that
i guess I'd rather force a smile

this time is part of another millennium
you and your friends can smoke cigars
this time i get to open up my arms
you and your friends like to laugh loud
another day, wishing that i stopped asking twice
another way, going another direction, this time

i always mess up and we fight all night long
and you eventually shut me out, close the door
and when i try to phone you to make up
you've already moved on, before i got up

so don't come with your tales, when everything turns sour
you had your chance, and it was your last hour
to fix the broken pieces and fit it back again
so maybe when we brush against each other
we'll see eye to eye

this time i swear i know it's over
with you and your laughable lies
this time i think i know it's over
coz you got yourself a new guy
and he forgets to call you
or whisper goodnight
but if you're wondering how i'm doing
take a number, my dear
and maybe, maybe then i'll get back to you

and it was in the beginning of summer
when the sun had smiled for long
and now that i look in your eyes
all i see is winter snow

your eyes are like frost, it pierces through my heart
your words are like knives, thrown into my chest
nobody will be like me, coz you wanted him
and now you're crying, and now you're trying
to get away
but it's just for
today

this time i swear i know it's over
you will never get my hand to hold
this time i swear i think it's over
that you ever get warm by me, when it's cold
never call me, you're freaking out
you sent me a text, saying that we're past
so don't pretend like i hurt you bad
when all i did was make you glad
and now that you don't want what you got
you better keep it, coz it's a gift, not bought
this is for those people who are just so sick and tired of always trying to please people around them, who are tired of standing on the sidelines waiting for excitement. or those who try to please but get no further than an awkward hello. this is for those who feel like they own us, yeah right... you never will.

I sometimes wonder if I have a problem.
From drinking in bars, to ***** basements.
To late night crashes with beings.
I couldn't care about even if I wanted to.
Because all I ever wanted was you.
And every time my lip touches that cold glass.
I think of your cold skin.
Because you chose to stop being.
You let your demon's take you from within.
In that moment you were no longer being.
You stopped being.
And I stopped being.
Who I wanted to be
And now I am just one of those troubled souls.
Replacing the taste of you
With something new.
The burn of whisky.
The smell of the alcohol on my breath.
My body screams, "STOP!"
But my mind says,"what for...?"
So here I am.
Stuck in this cold cell.
Dealing with this burning hell.
Remind me of the things we were.
And the love you took away.
So this drink is for you, my love.
Let it burn my throat.
So no one can hear my screams.
And let it warm my insides.
So I can pretend I'm me.

when you are convinced you were made for love
and love confirms your belief
everything else is going to come up short

These Flowers
 Oct 2015 Erin
e n v y
Wandering aimlessly down this road
My pointless journey left my mind cluttered
Confused and dazed, I felt my heart shatter
Everything around me reminded me of you.

I passed down a shop with beautiful flowers
To ease my disoriented heart, I bought a bouquet
Hoping that these flowers would convey
What my heart really wanted to say

Yet on my quest to reclaim your heart I failed
I saw you with another man, away you trailed.
I felt my heart sinking under the weight
Of losing somebody I love, I was too late.

That night, I tried to rid my mind of you.
Standing silently, my teary eyes glittered in the moonlight.
It took only a few moments
for me to realize how the flowers reminded me of our love.

The poor roses that sat near the window lost its color.
I realized that like flowers, my heart was withering.
Inside this heart of mine was nothing but pain,
as I relive everything that happened that day.

If all I just do is look at you.
The eyes tell the story of how I feel.
No, I'm not a stalker.
I'm your lover.

If I never speak.
The eyes tell the story about my weakness.
You're an intoxicating joy.

The depth of my affection can't be measure by a ruler.
And in various ways even I can't describe it.
But my eyes tell the story honestly about how I love you?

when you start feeling restless  
and grumbling that  
she fills my working hours,  
Nor one my dreams free
from her. One thought
in my head and
one theme in my life  
she…..she…
this is …
Law of Pathetic.

I ran out of hope
I need someone to cope
Help me, should I just hang myself on the rope?

And just like that little Nicky and I had a date.
Sugar cookies decorated with icing, musical chairs
at every table.
Balloons with strands of silky fabric dangled from the Party hall  ceiling.

Their little fingers crook daintily, holding the tiny tea cups
while their mothers sipped tea and ate cookies.

She is a sweet tune in my heart and I hope to play it all my life
With the memories of the sugar cookies,
and all those tea time moments together

She loved the princesses and tea time theme;
  that was  October of two thousand and four
I love the pink plastic bags.
Her birthday was yesterday;
today we are having a skype group video chat

I stand there like a stone, watching you leave sunk my heart
I try to push out the words “please stay” but I just go silent

I miss the smell of your colon
I miss what we had but not what you’ve become

You found love again
I have yet to rebuild what you’ve wrecked inside me

“I’ll always be there”
A lie that caused wounds

You will come back soon
I won’t be here ready to be your rebound

You say you know me but you don’t
If you knew me you would know that I am so much stronger than you think

I was dragged to hell and I crawled back out more than once
Scars placed on me that no one can see

You’re not aloud to control me
You’re somebody I knew that’s it

I learned a lesson from you
I don’t ever wanna close my eyes and think of you again

Without you I feel torn
I will heal though

You will soon realize what you lost
But by then I will have a new hand to hold.
