The sand in the glass is finally empty
The timer has finally stopped running
Time with you finally ran out

The hope and happiness stop flowing
Emptiness and tears of sadness dripping down my face

Even though it's only been a couple hours
I miss you like you have been gone for years
Why can't my heart let you go
Cause your gone

It's only been a day and there is a hole in my heart
for where you once stood

I miss your smile
I miss your laugh
I miss the spark of life in your eyes
And now I'm empty
with nothing to look forward to
just a gray lifeless life
Without you...

It's not a sharp pain
But it's a strong pain
I am on the verge of going insane

Help me and come back
and stop my tears and give me that spark of life in your eyes
I want to make you smile and laugh like we did when we were children

But your gone and you won't come back again

My time has run out
I'm sorry that I did not use it wisely
Now I'm just sitting here without you
in a puddle of my own tears
falling into a hole of emptiness
feeling nothing and everything at the same time

Goodbye my friend...
my Icarus
I flew way too close
and burned me in the end
and all I can say now is...goodbye my friend
And I can't do anything...now that your gone
The moment that I have dreaded for has arrived. My crush and my friend of 8 years has graduated and I will never see him again. I want to feel happy for him but I can't let him go. It is frustrating but he was someone special and made me feel something...ignited a spark that no one else can ignite...he was special, but now he is gone...and I feel like a piece of me is now gone.

After hiding behind that fake smile
and pretending for so long
I want to take my mask off
and just let the tears run down my cheeks

I don't want to be strong anymore
I don't want to be an actor anymore
I don't want to say the same old lie again
I can't say that I'm ok anymore

All I want to Do is Cry now
to be weak for once
All I want to do is to let the river flow
and let my emotions show
to be myself truly
not hiding or bottling up
the storm that is inside me
just for once
I want to let the raindrops fall from my eyes
to let all my demons out and cleanse my soul
to finally let myself heal

I have been cut down too many times
I had to hide the red lines
that has been driven in my soul and in my arms

But why won't anyone let me cry for once
Day 30 of the month long poetry prompt challenge. It has been a great month of writing poetry. Although I had to catch up occasionally and it was kind of tedious, I still enjoyed it. See you next year, month long poetry prompt challenge.

Though I only see the moon
I will soon see the sun
Though I only see thorns
I will soon see the rose
Though I only see dark
I will see light
Though now I only see stars
I know I will see dawn

No
stop
please stop


but you just kept going

It almost seemed as if the word "no" had no meaning
as if the word "no" and "stop" were just empty words

You invaded my body
took my life away
You only took what you wanted
but in return you left me with trauma

This is my body
This is my home
where my soul lives, where my knowledge grows
where who I am resides
You invaded it and broke in
and unrightfully took what is mine

For people who do this to others
stop means stop
and no means no

For all the people who are letting people
into their homes
no is a complete sentence
and you do not need an explanation

No....no is not an empty phrase
Stop is not a meaningless word
No means do not do it
Stop means I do not want it
Consent: permission for something to happen or agreement to do something.

I try to escape
I try to forget

I try to throw it all away
the memories
the emotions

I try to get over it all and move on
the shame
the guilt

I try to heal
the deep cuts you cut into my soul

But I am bound
By your actions
your words
your manipulation

the echoes are invisible chains
bounding me, preventing me from life
Dragging me down each time I try to get back up

I know that I will be bound in these chains
forever
because of you and your hands
and your ***** mind
you who stole my life
and bound me to this life
Bound: to be held down with chains or rope

I used to play hide and seek in your trunk
and watch as the wind makes your leaves jump

You always gave me air to breathe
Always been my place of peace
You always gave animals warm shelter
And gave bees your flower's sweet nectar

But alas, people did not see your gifts
For they cut you down and throw you over death's cliffs

As more and more of you disappear
the warming of the earth is getting more severe
What once was green is now all brown
There is no more fresh air, all life is starting to drown

Fire engulfs and takes your life
As politicians continue to speak words of strife
What once was green is now all black and red
Where there was once life, now everything is dead

No more deer, foxes, lizards, or birds moving
Scientists continue to keep proving
that this issue is real and it is serious
But everyone continues to be actless

In the ocean's forest, the green is turning brown as well
As acid in the water reduces the shells
Animals now eat plastic
instead of what is supposed to be their diet

Species of animals are disappearing one by one
As we pick them off with spears, traps, and guns

Now look what we have done to our only home
Now our children have nowhere else to roam
The ocean now is filled with plastic
The air they breathe will make them sick

They will never know what an elephant is
Or ever see the beautiful bird called the crested ibis
They will never see the rhino with its beautiful horn
because they have all died off, and none could be born

Now children who play hide and seek no longer have a place to hide
If we don't do something soon,
to the earth we can only say goodbye

Aspen Apr 2019
There are clouds everywhere

The cloud of uncertainty
That fogs my vision so much
that I cannot see the road ahead of me

The clouds of frustration
When the people who I want to understand me
Do not understand and do not try to

The clouds of anger
As they blind my logical reasoning
And my hands make regrets

The clouds of hopelessness
with each passing failure
and each regret that stabs my heart

Finally the cloud of death
waiting for me as I waste my life away
trying to see through all these other clouds
