Rachel Ueda May 2014
I know one day I will have to let go
I know one day
I will have to say Goodbye
And day by day I'll tell myself
I'll be ready
That we can just be happy
With the time we have left
But I know that one day
When the goodbyes come
I will cry forever
For the future we didn't have
And smile for the past we did
But the need to hold on
And the inability to let go
Will hurt more than anything
Because that one day
And for all days
I will love you.
An old poem but still so true
Rachel Ueda May 2014
I say to you
What I cannot say to
Him
Consider my request.
Rachel Ueda Mar 2014
Piercing hot water
Stabs my flesh
But no matter how
Hard I scrub
I can't get it of my
Chest
I tried bathing
In bleach
But it just burned
It in deeper
I tried bowing my
Head and ask
For forgiveness
But all I got was
Mumbled words in
A silent deliverance
I opened the
Darkness in the
Holes of my heart
Remembering the evil
In hopes I could
See it as painful art
But no matter how
Hard I try
I cannot purge
Myself of my oldest
Addiction
And I know it's time
To hand myself my own
Conviction
Rachel Ueda Mar 2014
I look at you
Into those
Blue green
Eyes

I feel it

The feeling

The indescribable
Heart racing
Heart stoping
Feeling

You smile and
It spreads across
My lips like a
Sweet disease

There's no doubt
my love for you is real
But my best friend
Are you a risk
I'm willing to take?

Giving away my
Heart so freely
Will it break?
Rachel Ueda Mar 2014
Loving an addict comes with a price
It NEVER gets easier watching someone
Blindly commit suicide
Rachel Ueda Mar 2014
My entire life
Has been
dedicated
To creating
A web of lies
Stronger than
Any wall
The hurt
Dare to build

Nobody
knows
Me
Not even
My blood
Those whom
I call friends
I've hurt without
Them even
knowing
There is no
Secret lover
Who I've confessed
My sins
There is no
Stranger I once
Found redemption
In
And there is no story
Out there in the world
That it's truly mine

Not even these
Poems
I wrote to lazily
To make rhyme
Rachel Ueda Feb 2014
Oh that old dirt road
Leading to my once
One and only home
I miss you.

You've been stained
With blood and tears
But blessed
With laughter and love

You led me to light

You were
a beacon
of hope

an escape

my ecstasy

my everything.

But in the end
your only just
An old dirt road

And my memories
Aren't written in stone
No, they left with the wind
So I shall make new ones
On another old dirt road
Again and again.
