do not permanently love a person
just because they left you
temporarily breathless
still cant catch my breath until now
i cant take my own advice

I question what its like to really live
as I am living the life others can’t afford.
I have the world at my fingertips
but it’s slipping away with the feeling
that I am not good enough.

I read your poems and think of my daughter 23 now. She seems similar to you in a lot of your thoughts. Please let me tell you on her behalf as well as mine. If you let it, everything will come good in the end. I know those feelings you have too and believe me having been there myself. Things do get better. They really will.
Take care.

My body wants to get up and move,
but my mind says no.

It's 2 am and my body wants to rest,
but my mind says no.

The wires connecting one another
need to be fixed.

But which one do I touch?
The red or the blue?

The gun felt cold against my skin
Safety still on
Pulling the trigger only happens in movies
Fear holding me sideways
Dreaming of courage to take the bullet out
So instead I began holding pencils to my temple
Attempting to rewrite my future

DC raw love
Why
Why
Why cry
Why feel hope
Why do people dream
Why do they reach for stars
Why do people follow fallacies
Why do they live in their own illusions
Why do they self create their own delusions
Why do people live in their own make believe world
Why do people run and hide when things get tough in life
Why don't most people really care what goes on in this world
Why do they do what they do and don't think about what they do

Kristina, my friend that I adore.
Kristina, you smiling bubbly joy.
In the dark hours we talked and talked.
When the summer came the world we walked.
I held you close when times we tough.
You held me back, strong but not rough.
Your eyes glisten a deep dark brown.
A face to beautiful to know a frown.
And then he came.
You speak with him, while I wait in the rain.
My hopes and dreams circling the drains.
But still I'm happy that you are too.
Because that is love if the love is true.
I hope he makes you happy, stays loyal through thick and thin.
But we both know that’s not the case.
So why did you choose him?

Goodbyes never hurt me
It's always the memories that follow
To live in such a cruel reality
A world so insensitive and shallow

A goodbye is just a moment
But the memories are stuck on replay
To think we deserve such torment
We remember each and every day

A goodbye will not hurt you
But the memories will shatter your being
Break your heart into pieces
Your life may even lose meaning

Goodbyes do not hurt you
They are only the beginning
A life that was once so simple
Turned into a life so unforgiving

— The End —
