Sometimes it doesn't work with someone you love.
You give everything and it's not enough. It just comes up short. But that's no reason to give up.
Because the pain will subside, the hurt will stop, and the emptiness will be refilled.
Because love can be totally broken, but never destroyed.
And love's ability to be renewed is like nothing else in this world.
Written 4 February 2016... this poem is a total lie... I was so ignorant.

I want you in this embrace
You're all I think about
Hold me tight, hold me right
I want to fall asleep with you tonight
No more empty bed for us
Arms around your waist
Feeling you breathe in my arms
I want you in this embrace
Hold me right, hold me tight
Let's fall asleep tonight.

Spinning a web, spinning a story
Spinning a plate, spinning a yarn
Spinning a lie, spinning a tale
Spinning out of control, and loving it.

I think the only way I can see in black and white is to blind myself. Because my eyes are easily deceived, and I trust them no longer.

I think the only way to breathe is to tear out my lungs. Because they don't draw breath anymore, they only draw death.

I think the only way I can speak is to cut out my tongue. Because I talk but no words are ever spoken. Only lies.

I think the only way to die is to live. Because I'm dead so much and I want to live again.

One
One decision
One choice
Can destroy
Everyone
Everything
You love

Yes, it happened.
Let's heal.
Written 3 February 2016... can five words really make a poem? I was dumb.
Jack Jenkins Dec 2016
Hiding who he is, he doesn't want shame
So he plays his part in the game
Dating the same girl for five years
She has no idea she's his beard

Yes, it's men he loves
Especially the straight ones
There's something they have
The gay half doesn't have

But he's alone right now
With the woman he "loves"
Laying in bed, wishing he was dead
Every time they have ***, he's misled

Some day, he might come clean
Tell the world he's really a queen
But until then, he'll just lie
Just like he lies next to her.
