I know it's over but why am I still hoping?

Angie S
a lovely girl
must be proper
but absurdity lies
in between her precious
smile and her breathtaking
poise and her scrumptious
hips and her plump
******* and her delightful
porcelain doll legs and arms

if you consider perfection worthy
of your eye then you may as well embrace
sorrowful nights in solitude.
at this point, you're enthralled by
mere fantasy, an abominable image
of the real life woman.

the loveliest of maidens resides in
every single girl
if you have not been taught that yet,
what are your flawless dreams but
simply dreams
the girl i described in the first stanza is not real.
the ones i described in the first two lines of the last stanza are real. every last one

Eloi
Eyes like emeralds, shine in the light,
Sad green eyes, but a smile so bright.
Long dark hair, she was so fare, but they didn't see what was really there.

At night she cries, eyes filled with tears as bitter as your lies.
Now She cuts her skin with your  silables of slaughter that made the words "you are my light".

You made her feel so special, now her skin is cold once more. Soon she will be lifeless, dead on the bathroom floor.

this was never a fair game, but you knew just how to play, she didn't know of your wicked tricks and ways.

but she loved you all the same.
By noon
a day begun
twelve hours before
A thought had taken time away
It is a mystery to me
   how His infinite eyes have seen the dawn of days
It's my savior that lets me sleep
Hallelujah! my King is near
With the keys to life in death
Hades and Heaven in His grasp
It is my savior my soul to keep
Let me leap in joy
   leap in love
      leap in faith
I will land between light bright is His
Grace
By your Word I see in darkness
Lord I pray in Christ Jesus alone
As I lay my head to rest I'll
   wait to be home in
The Amen of good nights
   remove me from my sinful slumber
Repent in thankfulness for Jesus died with all sin on his neck and conquered death with authority to give life to those who call upon His name Jesus Christ Lord and Savior the Creator of all who was and is and is to come and was before all things and has made all things according to His plan and remains consistent from before time for Jesus is God of all. Tetelesti
Your sister heard your laugh
The dog stared long into your room
The tree cast a shadow
that looked just like you

Pandora played your song,
out of sync with the station that was on

Your sheet music is on the top of the pile,
Inside the piano bench

My tea tastes sweet this morning.
Like there are two sugars instead of one,
The way you like it.

Yesterday, we visited.
We brought flowers and treats
Sang songs, told stories, and cried

Perhaps, today, it’s our turn

Peppermint sigh
In the calm twilight
The moon yawns
And stretches, over the sea

Glowing, beyond the extent
Of vision, of knowing
Slowing, down now
Freezing, right where it is

One big mystery
Forever left unsolved
We get away with it
Time for Plan B

I clutch my chest
My heart beats quickly
Then hesitates before
Stopping abruptly

It's nauseating
Noise-consuming
Time-consuming
We are waterproof

Cheap bystanders
In the headlights
Not the headlines
If only vision were clearer

Closer, stronger
Hold on to me
Loosen your grip
On reality

Let go
I'll always be here, for you
Let's go
I'll always be yours, my dear
