Letter
Ray Jul 2016
Long ago when people had time
They would sit down and compose a line

A pen in hand, nib dipped in ink
With friends far away they'd form a link

Some wrote letters of a superior kind
That stuck around and played on the mind

They type you kept hidden in a box
Away form prying eyes you'd keep them locked

They were not mere words, they were confessions of love
As if the angels themselves were speaking from above

A heart entirely poured into every phrase
About a moment,  a touch, a feeling, a gaze

So this, for you, is my love letter
Let's hope the next is slightly better

Haunted
Ray Oct 2015
In the rare silent moments
When I'm entirely alone
A single thought consumes me
It makes my mind it's home

That thought is of him
How he used to feel
How beautifully destructive we were
And in that moment you're real

But of course you're not
We are a distant past
I'm glad it's finally over
Never wanted it to **last

Hero
Ray Jun 2015
I'm still your greatest fan
Of that I have no doubt
But my respect for you was lost
As soon as you walked out

I am now the parent
And you my hopeless child
I once had hours to give to you
Now seconds aren't worthwhile

Where has my best friend gone
Who is this empty shell
The hero that you were to me
Gone without farewell

Past
Ray Jun 2015
It fills me up with fury
A cold and silent rage
That spills out only from my eyes
And now onto this page

The anger is not because of her
Nor is it because of you
It's simply because you have a past
That makes the hate seep through

I should look at the present
And the future we have ahead
Forget the ghosts we both have
Dwell on us instead

We
Ray Jun 2015
We
There are times and moments brief
Full of woe, sorrow and grief
But these moments tend to flee
When 'I' alone turns to 'we'
Tears are gone replaced by smiles
Only laughter heard all the while
And if somehow the dark creeps back
We'll find the light and get back on track
Ours is one to keep and treasure
I'll wish it that way almost forever

— The End —
