I loved you, at first,
more than anything.
Nothing else mattered,
If I could be by your side,
I would’ve protected you from a n y t h i n g.

The feeling of
your lips touching mine.
Cold and dull,
is it wrong that I still miss them?

Your eyes drifted to others,
never straying to mine,
never filled with the same spark.
Why won't you look at me?

You would say it,
those three words and I could only listen
as you say it to the others.
Not to me. Never to me.
They always got your love,
and warm smiles,
while you gave me your screams of
"You should be happy. Why aren't you happy?"

My orders:
never to be near you,
holding hands was forbidden,  
we did not know each other, not publicly.
They would get the wrong idea.
“She's just a friend,” You would say.
Forcing me into a corner, chained,
As your collar (pleaseithurtsithurts) leaves me
b r e a t h l e s s.

It was all a game, wasn't it?
Of how fast I could love you (whatwasithinking),
of how much I could bleed (Goditwaseverywhere)
of how long before I couldn’t take it (saveme,please,anyone)
You were the king,
and I, your faithful pawn,
Just another piece on your board.

Your touches, never warm, never tender
What an artist you were,
Always defacing your canvas with your brushes,
Aren’t you talented?
Is this what love is?
Take it back, please,
I don't want this anymore.  
I just wanna forget (getitoutgetitout).

It’s okay, you don’t have to love me, no one ever does.”
I saw a prompt and this poem came to mind. I hope you love it and be sure to comment what you think. Check out my other works!!

The day we met
We dove in deep
Ringing true
With destiny
Now you're my woman
I'm your man
As we both join in
God's master plan

A day set forth
At the dawn of time
On a straight and narrow course
With us in mind
As we both fell in
To loves demand
Being a part of
God's master plan

And then blessed with
Two angel doves
Sent from heaven
Wrapped in love
A promise given
A promise kept
A family living
God's master plan

When our time ends
And we leave this place
We'll both bow down
In saving grace
Where life for us
Will begin again
To never end in
God's master plan
For my beautiful wife.

The world is in revolution
Spinning out of control
From yesterdays quakes to today's sun bake
Clearly has a mind of its own

With volcanic ash covering this and that
As the world blows its top
The world is in revolution
With no sign, it's going to stop

With the rising of ocean levels
In an attempt to wash its shores clean
From all of the trash that has been left
As man frivolously tosses debris

A tornado or two out of the blue
To wipe out a few trailer parks
Or a winter storm out of the norm
To leave those unsuspecting shivering in the dark

And if the weather doesn't expire us
The world cooks up a nasty virus
Until man in his wisdom comes up with a cure
Then the world changes strains and comes back for more

Yes the world is in revolution
Spinning out of control
From the North, East, and West, to the South never rests
Until man is no more

It's the big day of the big yard sale
Where every thing must go
There was much to much to haul out to the front
So I opened up the home

There were gobs of people everywhere
Wandering around with arms packed full
I'm making money hand over fist
This idea was really cool

You see my neighbors came to me with their front door key
And asked if I'd watch Binkie their cat
While they spent a few days away, I said sure what the hey
So they showed me where everything Binkie was at

While they were gone Binkie got bored
He missed his masters who were out of town
I thought a yard sale would be just the thing, Binkie purred that'd be neat
And of course it brought Binkie's good mood back around

Now before you start thinking bad thoughts of me
And wonder how anyone could sell everything they had
I want you to know I had a slight twinge of guilt
Right before I sold Binkie the cat

some people dig
holes to be filled
live and let live
**** or be killed
some people sow
some people reap
some let it go
while others keep
the ones that do
either don't or they won't
if they're brand new
won't be long for they're old
differences
between day and night
some muddle in wrong
some puddle in right
some clear the way
others are weeds
blind as a bat
clearly can see
laid out and bare
hidden beneath
righteous and kind
stubborn and mean
some people are *****
some people are clean
some are up front
some in-between
fall to the right
to the left lean
call it a night
some never sleep
some people dig
holes way too deep
some people are you
some people are me

With age as a number
I've lived long enough
To see how the ladder
Of justice is rung
From rich to poor
From top to bottom
Justice is hard
For the poor man in climbing
Money corrupts
The ladder of justice
The higher the rung
The larger the palm
I've seen it all
The climb and the fall
If truth be told
It's not justice for all

Mostly on the money
At least most of the time
Betting our decisions
Like gamblers do on life

Though we never know which way the wind blows
Or the roll of the dice
And until it is you get there
You never know what you'll find

And still, yet we place our bets
On what is coming next
We spin the wheel as we deal
With the time that we have left

Trying to make it to the window
Right before the window's close
What comes next with our last breath
Only heaven knows

Mostly on the money
At least most the time
Betting our decisions
Like gamblers do on life

I am  
far too weak
to help carry  
your pain.
