He knows your joys,
He knows your sadness.
He knows your vulnerabilities,
He knows your helplessness.
He comes in close, he comes in quickly.
He, the Whisperer.

His face is covered in darkness,
Nothing to be seen but a sinister smile;
Dressed in your clothing,
Dressed in who you are.
You cannot outrun him, nor can you **** him.
He, the Whisperer.

He is a reflection in a broken mirror,
Twisted upon everything you are.
He slowly creeps, upon your ears,
Reciting your worst fears.
You cannot escape his trances,
He, the Whisperer.

He feeds upon your worsts,
He grows in your chaos.
He chuckles when you cry,
His laughter, growing louder, and louder.
You cannot make him cease,
He, the Whisperer.

He appears when you least expect him,
He vanishes when you stir insane;
Insane with anger,
Insane with sorrow.
He manipulates you endlessly,
He, the Whisperer.

He'll never go away.
He'll never be astray.
He'll be wherever you are.
He'll be the man behind the strings.
He'll make you bend to his will.
He, the Whisperer.
I guess, this is depression...

I guess all good things come to an end
Writing poetry helps my heart to mend
Poetfreak is my home and always will be
Don't know what to do guess we'll wait and see

It tears me up to hear the bad news
It drives me deep down into the blues
I have met so many good friends indeed
There's always someone to confide when in need

I never talked to anyone from halfway around the world
Until I came here and the flowers in my heart uncurled
I don't want this to be goodbye I wanna be forever friends
And to walk in the light of life and love that never ends

But there is still a long way to go
And I will continue to let the poetry flow
I know there are other places but this is home to me
But I guess when it is finally over I'll have to let it be

I can only see what you see,
I can show you yourself
but I cannot comment as I have no mouth.
if you choose to change then I will watch you,
If some don't like what they see, they avoid me or break me,
but doing either of those things achieves nothing,
because I only see what they see, they cannot hide from their own mind.
I only see them as they see themselves, i have no mouth so I do not lie.
I can only see what they see, i cannot say that their opinions are wrong or right,
I see them only as they see themselves with their own eyes, what am I?

For so many years
I had no words to give
You had left me
My truest love
I thought I had found another
And no longer needed you
But I missed you
You were the one
Who never questioned
My love
You never thought ill of me
Never hurt me
Always knew just the right words
To use

Sometimes I thought
What caused this barrier?
What took away my cherished gift?
That gave me so much
I think I finally figured it out
She never loved all of you
She loved the sweet love you showed
Your sense of humor
She loved your intelligence
How you twisted words
And created thoughts
But the dark side of you
She didn’t care for

In the beginning
I was happy
Happy and in love
With her
We did everything together
Had a plan
Too busy to think about you
Sometimes I went back to you
Devoured your words
Absorbed your feelings
But it was hard
Hard to go back to that time
When my heart shut down
From too much pain

I wanted to spend time with you
Converse again
I think I was worried
Worried what my words would reveal
I never really know
Where it is you go
Once I give you your reign
You’re like a wild stallion
Tearing off into the night
With only the moon as your guide
So I didn’t trust you
No
That’s not right
I didn’t trust her
I didn’t want the questions
That I might not be able to answer

I think by that time I knew
And I was afraid
To be with you
I needed a safe place
And I had none

Until now

You have rushed back into me
Like a breath of life
For a dead man
Resurrected
Reborn
Renewed
Back with a vengeance
Version 2.0
Better
Stronger
Streamlined
Powerful
I think our separation
Your hibernation
Was a good thing
I missed you
Terribly so
I never knew
But always hoped
And now you’re back
I love you
Never let this
Happen again
I hope I never suffer

Thank you for being there
When I needed you most
You always seemed to know
When I was loneliest
When I was lost
Without hope
Without love
You trusted me
To be good
When everyone else
Labeled me bad
You saw who I was inside
Allowed me to give you my affection
Allowed me to love you
And you gave your measure in return
You made me feel wanted
In a world that didn’t
You asked nothing in return
No other condition than to treat you nice
I always did
How can someone hurt
An angel in disguise?
In all the forms you took
You were everywhere I went
To this day
When I see you
I have an overwhelming desire
To approach
To love on you some more
You are near me now
Everyday
You know when I am sad
And happy to be with me
We walk together
I talk to you
The eternal optimist
You will always be
My dearest friend
Whose love is perfect
Even if it is only for a brief moment in time
The stray cat
The dog next door
The horse in the field
Or that goat in the vacant lot
My many cats
And my one perfect dog
To the uncountable number of animals
Who have allowed me
To pet them
You always make me feel good
You saved me
From a lonely childhood
You gave me hope
That someday I would be loved
Allowed me to experience
What true love is
Thank you
My Angels in disguise
Yes, animals saved me from being alone.

My heart is broken
And yet no Angel could fix
Because only one thing will mean it
And that's the tender touch
Of our very first kiss

The piercing cold has frozen my hold.
As my breath mists in the wind, I lose my mind in my sin.
Why did I walk through the pitch black portal?
Why did I sell my innocence for a price that wasn't priceless?
I look into the mirror, my face is what I see.
Yet my eyes hold a darkness, how is this me?
So I turn in horror, step out for some air.
But from me escapes screams of unfiltered anguish 'til my voice is like a bear.
Why did I walk?
Why did I sell?
Let the cold take me.
It's warmer than my hell.
