Walking my way through the
empty streets
every step I make
echos in this empty place
in my heart

All I see is us
I'd do anything to re-live
the past again

Time is divided
between having you
and waiting to be with you

Will I have you again in my life?
Maybe not in this life

Until then
Whatever happens in between
is not in my concern
nor how long it takes
nor in which form

I'm in pain once again

This simmering sensation slowly heating up my insides

It feels familiar

It feels safe

My body is a pain processor

Its capability never let me down

The amount of pain it has processed

Can feed half of the world population

an orchestrated mistake
stumble, fumble and
fall
suddenly contact can be made:
a reason to brush
timidly, against the other
in an attempt
to subtly connect
and find relief from that
heavy tension, as it hangs in air
so close to condensing
so silent in its suspense
and still,

We wait to breathe

I like you.
Or at least I like who I am when I'm with you.
When I look into your eyes,
I'm on a different planet.
I've always liked you...
Even before everyone else did.
I still do...
And I don't know if its worse if you know,
Or worse if you don't.

i took my first love down to strawberry hill,
the only place i knew how to be free,
only kids were we,
i kissed her and she kissed me
right there among the strawberries,
but when i asked how long we would be
she said nothing to me
two days later she left me,
and the strawberries beneath my feet
lay cold in the breeze

15 my heart was afluttering,
and i took my love down to violet hill
there we sat in the summer heat,
i asked just how long we would be,
she sat as silent as a tree
three days later she let me go,
and i sat staring at the dead berries
that lay buried in front of me



23 i thought i had found she,
the girl who would always love me,
but i got down on my knees
and she said no to me,
i didn't say anything,
just watched the strawberries beside me
wither and bleed, no longer living

when you came to me
the strawberry hill no longer
carried its name,
my heart beseeched me
to revisit once in my lonely life,
i told you my story of the strawberry hill
and the heartbreak that had happened here,
you sat the, silent still, and once done
you said to me,
"darling this hill belongs to we,
i shall not leave you until life lets me sleep,
and even then this hill is where you will find me"

now i stand on strawberry hill,
life breathed back by your love,
you lay beneath your strawberries,
waiting to greet me
a remake of an old poem that was my best. this is really just **** compared to it
I'm screaming in my head and crying in my heart,
I'm ripping myself apart,
Sure my face seems to tell you "I'm alright",
But the truth is I cry myself to sleep at night,
And its all because I miss you so,
Oh why did you have to go?

I kneel here at your grave,
Crying, praying, watching, waiting,
For some kind of sign,
For some kind of signal,
That will tell me you're alright,
That will help me sleep tonight,
To put my heart at rest,
And my mind at peace,
To tell me,
Why you had to go.

As I lay here in my bed,
I can't seem to get this in my head,
The loss of you puts my heart in pain,
Without you life won't be the same,
I hug your Tigger tight,
As I start to cry I think,
"why did you have to go?"
This was written because I lost my aunt who was very close to my heart.  This goes out not only to my Aunt Tressa but to anyone ** has ever lost someone near and dear to the heart.

Eager to love, yet afraid to fall
I want to love you, but there's this 10 foot wall.

Guarded and scared, I've let no one in
Show me you're the one who wants to break in.

Be my prince, my guard, my knight in shining armor
Save me from this dreaded curse im in.

I'll jump, take a chance, perhaps a leap of faith
I will let you in and see who I am.

Hold my heart, see my soul
Love me forever, and never let go.

I've never seen someone
who is laughing
their *** off,
pick up a ****** needle,
or a razorblade.
