Cruel
Renae Oct 2014
How does it feel
To be so cruel
Heartless and self centered
Without a conscience?
Does it feel good
To break hearts like they're nothing
Crushing a thousand girls
To make one girl feel special?
Does that make you feel like the best?
I think it just means you're cruel.
To me, that makes you the worst.

Foot in mouth
Renae Oct 2014
I wish I had as much self discipline as you
I wish I could hold my tongue
I'd hold it In between my fingers
so I couldn't talk
And that would keep my fingers busy too
That way I'd never be able
to stick my foot in my mouth again

My loneliness
Renae Oct 2014
I will try my best
We all have loneliness
We come into this world
A boy or a girl
Alone and unsure
Of what we're looking for

It takes 30 years
Or maybe even longer
To find out just how strong
And what we really are
All the trials and tribulations
Insignificance and liberation
We experience it alone
Though we might have loved ones

Surrounded by people
Who make alone time more bearable
Knowing without them
Nothing would be sharable
We're born alone
We'll die alone
In between
We hope to find someone
Making us feel important

Under the bridge
Renae Oct 2014
It's gone
Rushing away
Tumbling, turning
Fast as the current carries
I watch it disappear
Out of my sight
No way to turn back
While I sit
On this bridge

Empty
Renae Oct 2014
Why is love so complex
It should be simple
It should be something
you know right away
Without doubts
Without a question
It should be magnetic exhilaration!

Instead love is cruel
heartache and depression
Isolation
Broken hearts
flooding eyes
Bleeding
Crippled minds
Empty arms
Empty lives

LOVE
Renae Oct 2014
How do we get it back
Once a moment has passed
Is it gone for always
Because we misunderstood
Do we keep on working at it
Or do we leave it alone
We should keep working
Because that is true LOVE

Start again
Renae Oct 2014
It's never easy
It was
Right in front of me
I let it slip away
Like water through my fingers
The not knowing kills
Impatient me
Being added to lists is terrifying
Why am I so complicated
Setting unreachable standards
Hoping for miracles
That fall from the sky
Careful not to fall too fast
As I'm trying to start again

Womanizer
Renae Oct 2014
He has the most beautiful smile I've ever seen. The biggest heart or so it seemed. He is an amazing father, a strong man, domineering but communicative, he is everything I've ever wanted. The most shocking thing I could not conquer is the fact that he's also a womanizer

All wrong

I was sure
I thought nothing less would suffice
Until I saw your true colors
Blazing
Now I pay the price

A Little Advice
Renae Oct 2014
Never be anyone's downtime, part time or half time; be their all the time. All the time on their mind, with all of their heart. With all of your heart. Because that's the love story that lasts. When it's driving you crazy mad, know that's what's real. Pure emotion.

Lust is over and gone quickly but love remains long after you have to walk away. It is overwhelming, it's pain, it's knowing you'd be there if they needed you even though they couldn't stay. Love is the strongest emotion and it's so hard to find. So if you find it, never leave it, because you will only be cheating yourself. Loyalty and love are endless treasures.

Crush
Renae Oct 2014
You said it
You did it
I never gave you the green light
You said what you said
Knowing exactly what you were doing
Anybody ever told you
There's a reason it's called a crush?
Just don't pretend you never
Said or did what you did
To light the spark
You're the one
Who started the fire
I'm the one who put it out

Our story
Renae Oct 2014
You looked, I listened
You attempted, I gave a response
I invited you in and you accepted
We began the story of us

I watched you; so captivating
so very devenaire
Was I caught up?
Could this really be?
Could you really be so sincere?

I'm so scared
I've been hurt too much
I don't want to go back to that
Then all of a sudden
you showed me your instinct
I about had a heart attack

It was confusing; oh so tragic
I couldnt help myself
so I panicked
Like a crumbling puzzle
A sudden sadness
I began to fall apart
For I knew deep inside
you would only break my heart
  
Time went by for hours and hours
Every moment of everyday
I couldn't stand it any longer
I thought about you constantly

So I did the only thing I knew
I could do
I had to find
my way back to you

I attempted, you reponded
To my shock and suprise!
Together we both decided
To continue this wild ride

Again you accepted
my invitation back inside
You continue to shock me all of the time

I though I was seeing
You were not like the others
You seemed different I think
I know all too well fairytales don't exist
Charm me with the truth
Sweep me off my feet

Not for me
Renae Sep 2014
For a moment
My world revolved around you
To see you to hear your voice
To watch you live
To know you had a choice
To think I was it
I was thrilled
Your passon for heroism
Your complicated fears
Your parenting skill
Just your presence was enough
I was wrapped up in you
Then you ran away from my love
And let me weep in grief
One mistake to the next
Love is not for me......

The game of life
Renae Sep 2014
It's too bad hurt is prevalent today while love is scarce. Communication is lost and attractions don't last. Seems to me life is a game, I am always losing.

head over heals
Renae Sep 2014
Why does my heart skip a beat
It takes only a moment's glance
My mouth won't form the words
Not right and I'll shake a little bit
I'll try not to stutter, I'll try
And you'll say everything right
Then I'll trip on my own two feet
& fall head over heals for you

Dear me,
Renae Sep 2014
I just wanted you to know I understand. I remember you so many years ago; your strength, your abilities. I remember you standing in front of the mirror while mom braided your hair. I knew you weren't vain when you looked in the mirror. I wish she hadn't made you feel that way. I remember why you turned silent and hid. I know why you isolated. I am so sorry you felt badly about yourself. You had a beautiful imagination! ...you still do. You were a dreamer and no, they could not understand you,... but you knew you. Sometimes I get frustrated when I remember your gullibility.  So many people took advantage of you, that was a scary time. I'm glad those days are gone. I'm glad you made it through and you grew, you did not let that define you. The worst is behind you now, lift up your chin and smile. I wish I could take care of you.

The vine
Renae Sep 2014
It twists up coiling around
The thick white diamond shaped lattice
Weaving in and out blooming here
Sprouting there
Thick stems push through holes
Damaging what was once strong
Broken now the green takes over
As if to laugh  
"you cannot contain me"
The beauty is breathtaking
The design, a work of art

Fame?
Renae Sep 2014
A name is not my aim
I am not looking for fame
I write only for maddness
To remain safely contained
On my page it stays tame
It lets me release
Keeping my brain
From going completely insane

potentially nothing
Renae Sep 2014
unapologetically
the ideas evaporate
as though it never really happened
gone like $20 at the grocery store
in a snap
with little to nothing to show
besides maybe some small memory
that you'll  deny

Mixed Signals
Renae Sep 2014
Tell me you want me
I can call you mine
Call me your boo
All of the time

Tell me Im beautiful
Look into my eyes
Make me believe
In all of your lies

Ignore me when I text
Ignore me
Give me mixed signals
Endlessly

Make me cry
Call me names
judge me as though
I am everything you say
Renae Sep 2014

Life as we know it
Renae Sep 2014
Everything tends to end one day
In this all too temporary life

We suffer loss too often
Bringing leather skin to our bones
Shedding imperfections in silent rooms
Mourning lives in private

We arrive into this life alone
Only to build on relationships
Then we break when they break
Learning to persevere and grow

Never giving up
Vowing to never give in
We push ahead against the wind
Continuously fighting
Always enduring.....

Until the end
When we lay alone
Close our eyes in a lasting sleep
Some without hope of anything

Why I write
Renae Sep 2014
I am heart & soul
I am nobody special
I don't claim to be
I write what I know
I write when Im mad
I write when I'm blue
I write about everything
I write just for you
I write about love
Though I know not
I'm just writing each line
with all of my heart

The burning bridge

There was no way she would ever
be able to cross that bridge again
She just smiled
*"at least I can see through the darkness now

Only girl
Renae Aug 2014
I'm reminiscing  on video chats
deep stares and full lips
cocking your smile to the side you said
I could call you mine
Then I wondered
Across 5,000 miles
Who else was on the line?
Who else was falling for your smile
Those eyes, that skin,
the cool way you calmly replied
Your heroic nature
You love to save the world
You have a charming way
You could've changed my world
I only wish
I was your only girl

The Gift
Renae Aug 2014
What is free will
If not a loving gift?
You have the right to choose
No one can make you choose life
No one can make you do anything
That is your gift
Even in perfection
What a lovely gift
Knowing we are not puppets
We can choose truth or lies
We can choose right
We can choose love or hate
Choice is the gift we get
Free will instead of robotics


Does God really need to specify every event in advance?

Being infinite in power and matchless in wisdom, Jehovah can meet any emergency or contingency that might result as his creatures exercise their free will. (Isaiah 40:25, 26; Romans 11:33) He can do this instantly and without forethought. Unlike fallible men with their limited abilities, Almighty God does not need a detailed, cut-and-dried plan that sets out beforehand the destiny of every individual on the earth. (Proverbs 19:21) In a number of Bible translations, Ephesians 3:11 speaks of God’s having an “eternal purpose” rather than a fixed plan

Water Falls
Renae Aug 2014
All I hear is gushing water
rolling over the side of the cliff
An excited amount
At full speed no less!
Fast enough to ****
Beautiful enough for temptation
Flowing into Blasts
Of foaming white clouds
Rainbows appearing in the mist
Calming now
It winds down
turning into
a clear babbling brook
Turquoise blue
So calm
Serene

Then
without warning
Fierce
Tumbling over boulders
Furious intimidation!

A mighty creation

Denial
Renae Aug 2014
Denial is the first step in the healing process. A sort of shock to the nerves so to speak, a numbness sets in. This can't be happening and then the why me's. All of a sudden we're too alone to be lonely because then a gun or a knife sounds good, but who'd ever admit that! That's insanity! No, it's better to be in denial.

Mr. Sunshine
Renae Aug 2014
If you have no sincere smile
to share with me

If your gut has never hurt out of
sheer laughter

If you cannot find a reason
or a tune to hum it all away

The silver lining in your life
has depleted

Don't run to me...

I would only regret
I could not change you
I dont want to be an option, I want to be the only one. Humor is an essential part of any relationship

Disappointment
Renae Aug 2014
I'm so sorry I believed
I always do that
I stumble too easily, too fast
Head over heals tumbling backwards
Broken in pieces
Lying lifeless
Back to the drawing bored
Boredum
I hung on for dear life
onto syllables
every word sounding like truth
Every tear that falls
from my eyes like ice cubes
Tiny ice cycles
Proves once again
My magnetic pull
Is for something
I want
That I can't ever have
Always attracted to the wrong type. I must be a glutton for punishment the way I hurt myself.

Choice
Renae Aug 2014
The finest minds
Always make a choice

Whether wrong or right
Humble or proud
Admirable decisions
Or not so much

It's respectable
It's ****
Sometimes it means change
It's masculine

To take the lead
To make the difficult choice
To stand your ground
To show the real

It melts me

Non Existent

I want you
I'm guarded
I want something real
I'm so cautious

I cannot go through
another heartbreak
another heartache
you'll tear me to pieces

To tiny shreds again
until I am nothing to
piece back together

I want you
...but trust...
right now
It's non existent
Trying to understand words I want to be true, words are just words right? I want to know it's all true, not just hear them from a distance...

Desperation
Renae Jul 2014
I think the sky's been feeling like I do lately
It's been crying for days
Rumbling loudly crying out in agony
Covered in angry outbursts

I'm riding this marry go round called life
I'm trying to jump off but it's going so fast
round and round without end

Walking through a jungle of hidden truths
half stories; searching for something I cannot comprehend

Desperation sure as truth has a woman baffled at herself
Something to cure the sickness
Something to ease this pain
Not too deep, just enough to close the book

Temporary
Renae Jul 2014
Everything is temporary
Starting with a moment
A memory lasts a lfetime
A lifetime is stunted
A childhood
A garden
Laughter soon forgotten
Tears are for a little while
& gone in the morning
A friendly smile
A secret whisper
Your lovers warm embrace
The darkness of night
The sweet smell of rain
Don't blink for you might miss
The temporary enjoyment
Of the sunshine on your face
Or the rivers current
A stroll among the fields
A bite of something juicy
The only love you'll ever know
So hold on loosely
All is so temporary
Treat your life with care
Stop and smell the flowers
Let them know you're there
