To you
Roxanne Pepin Aug 2010
To whom does the blame fall upon,
If not myself?
Who do I hold responsible from now on,
For the crumbling of the world?
Who do I condem,
Who do I accuse?
In this formality it should be you.
Your aloofness and your charm
Make me want to blame no one but myself.
Though I know you're culpable.

Riddle me that.
Roxanne Pepin Aug 2010
I'll tell you halfheartedly, that I love you.
Sooner or later you'll understand the "No Trespassing" sign outside my door.
Look out from my window,
You're guaranteed to seek absolution,
Desperation is contagious,
Though somehow I'm immune.

A letter of appreciation
Roxanne Pepin Jun 2010
Dear Cancer,

I write this letter with nothing but sincerity and honesty. I think it’s time to say that no one likes you. And you should go the **** home. You’ve caused nothing but unpleasantness and to state the truth, you were never welcome here, or anywhere. You’ve successfully decayed our humour and allow us to frequently use indecent and ****** words. For the futur, keep in mind that you will never be greeted with a smile or the slightest salut. You will forever be cursed upon, as I am cursing you now. You’re the best at ruining lives, and you’re even better at causing misery than you are at tearing out hearts. I’ve got the last words this time. *******, you will not ruin her.

Sincerely,
I hate you.

Fear is the world's end
Roxanne Pepin May 2010
Hate is,
       fear
   the same ache
         of the            heart like
     the world end
   stood-up
                   dogged by alcool
Your            heart-beat, out of time,
                  from any        other

              you      a sore friend
            stopped
           you drink until                  it
    goes away
Until,
you stagger freely,
the              world's end.

Life is short
Roxanne Pepin May 2010
It’s the longest thing you’ll do,
Living without regrets is impossible,
Living without fear is unfeasible,
One thing I hate, living without you.

Live your fears to overcome them,
Love isn’t always invincible,
Slow your heart as much as possible,
Thought is but a defence mechanism.

Give the world one last peak,
Make your opinion audible,
Your notions accessible,
Be not afraid to speak.

Willing to testify
Roxanne Pepin Dec 2010
A screaming comes across the sky
Giving us not one reason why,
Must we run? Must we fly?
The light of my life with someday die.
I can’t let go, no matter how hard I try,
No matter what you supply
Or say you have to qualify.
You’ve flown away like a butterfly
Without the slightest word to specify,
Why?

Always finding fault
Roxanne Pepin Feb 2010
In time we all get what we want,
For now, it's limited to what we need.
Want is not but a desire to possess,
But how long will it really take
To get something you long for?

To be the person you despise,
Would mean praising the ******.
Never come close to the point of attack,
For all you know, it's just a hex.
Be not afraid of the curse, it's not of your concern.

Secret
Roxanne Pepin Aug 2010
If anyone knew the real secret to life,
They’re gone now,
Happiness isn’t all it takes.
But what would you do with the secret?
Live?
Just as you are doing now?
I think I’d rather stay oblivious.
That way, if I get in trouble,
For “messing up” my life,
… or so they would say,
I wouldn’t be blamed for ignorance,
wouldn’t be blamed for knowing what to do,
and not doing it the right way.
Because hey, if I didn’t know in the first place,
I’d be perfectly content living and not knowing.
But wait.. what if happiness is the secret…
and I just choose to ignore the fact that I do know it.
Does that make me ignorant?
*All well…

True connections
Roxanne Pepin Jun 2010
You and I,
Nothing more would it take
To defy the world,
To brighten the stars,
To freshen the earth.

Oh please,
Lets not result to posies.

Never promise me forever,
Promise me today.
Don't tell me you'll always be,
Because what'll you do when things go astray?
Oh, sorry, I never meant to hurt you,
Are you sure you'll be okay?
I asure you, I'll be fine,
I never promised a day more than today.
I knew not to guarantee, what I had yet seen,
As I knew it would someday lead to my dismay.

All of us and why,
Why you?

It'll never be too late.
Roxanne Pepin May 2010
Hugging and Kissing
need not be fatal.
Cutting off breathing.
What to do when the pains come?
Remember to stay on your feet.
Carrying a bag of gold,
Remember, it'll never be too late.

While you sit and rot
Roxanne Pepin Jul 2010
Continue to play your games
While the rest of us get to life.

Keep up the sour mood
While the rest of us get along.

Better not get to close
Who knows what I'll do next.

But since you're not even going to try
I might as well not bother either.

Everyone knows you'll be alone
And for a while more.

During this time the rest of us
Will be out enjoying ourselves.

Join us when you learn
To put down the controller.

You are not him.
Roxanne Pepin Aug 2010
I miss you,
Though you who is reading this,
Are probably not him,
Notwithstanding that you may think you are,
You likely are not.
For all that,
If you actually are him,
You do, in all honesty,
Know it is you I speak of.
And you begin to doubt yourself.
It is twelvethirty at night, which makes this
St-Patrick's day
Though it's not morning until I wake up.
I'll wear green everyday.

The night is alone
Roxanne Pepin Sep 2010
The night is restless, alone, ready to turn around.
Smoke engaged in darkness, cupped in white hands.
What about the green? No interest.
Mimic the stars’ universal values,
Acting on premise.
We think too little and feel even less.
We pause over the next line.
With a hole for music drilled into her heart.

All of the times you
Lay in bed
Wishing you were elsewhere
Admiring people who
Yearn for realty, being
Somebody they hoped they would be.

Vast options are proven to be
Everlasting and will always
R**emain part of your self.

Sightless
Roxanne Pepin Feb 2010
I was blind as the river,
I didn't see the rapids pass.
Those words you harshly sounded,
Could not have been easy to surface.

You pleasantly told me I'd lost.
To go home, and blow some steam. 
To be alone with my thoughts.
All, in the end, would be just keen.

I was no longer worthy of your time.
But maybe that was not it.
You, the ******* who sold for the prime,
Are the one that now has to endure.

I guess that's it for locker notes,
Just know I still love you,

Every time you put it around me.

You're leaving for a while,
But tonight I'm still with you.
Some still think I'm a child
Though half of them don't know me.

I'll often let my mind wander,
But always realize how much I miss you.
After all is said and all is done,
The one thing I'm certain is you'll come back to me.

Off anew

Off to make ends meet.
And prevent the ends
of the things we'd rather keep around.

Off she goes once again,
But only to make sure she'll be coming back.
Off she goes another time,
Making sure she'll see the days far from now.
Off she goes once more,
Keeping true to her words,
Proving to us furthermore,
That she'll do anything for us.
Off she goes again and again,
Preventing the extremities of life.

Pray for absolution
Roxanne Pepin Jul 2010
As you spend your days
Waiting for night,
Life passes you by,
or so they say.
But they don't stay around
To watch the stars,
To see the moon.
They don't really know
That it's always darkest
Before dawn.
They won't ever know
The absolute silence
Of the dead of night
Because they're too busy,
Rushing around,
Being frantic,
Waiting for it to be day,
As they sleep through
The real peace in the world,
They'll never know
What it's like to listen
To absolutely nothing.

About the inevitable end
As relief has taken over
You’ve relieved me of worries.

Anything

Or write me anything at all.

Only for my perusal,
Or for everyone to pore over.
Write me anything at all.

Burn till the light fades
Roxanne Pepin Jul 2010
Dates are irrelevant,
For now.
One day they will matter.
When someone forgets
Your birthday.
But that's only because
You pay too much attention.
If you hadn't known the date,
You never would have noticed,
Never would be stressing
That you're getting older,
That you've lost your youth,
Because you'd still be living it,
Not knowing who's birthday
You've forgotten,
And not having them remind you.

There is no such thing as nothing.

Three Times Your Person
Roxanne Pepin Mar 2010
I’ve got three words.
Words that might not be nice,
They might keep you up.
Though there’s no reason why they should offend you.
They aren’t close to what you might think.
Time may stand still when you find out.
The days before, you may long for now.
The amount of thought it will take,
To finally understand,
Why I’ll keep writing when the day is done.
Might be overwhelming.
Don’t call during work hours,
Because you might get caught
With your hands in the bucket.
Will time look like the sea?
Or is the clock now broken?
Three words,
                  Tu es phoqué
Stranded in the world,
Teach them what you know.
Take your knowledge to the other side.
They might be glad.
Then again,
Not everyone deserves to be welcomed.

Why continue life with lost hopes,

Why would I try again,
       And find nothing but failure in the end?
Why go on without you,
       Going through life without a clue.
If only I hadn't misunderstood your words,
If only you'd spoken to the birds,
And told me,

Up and Down
Roxanne Pepin Apr 2010
Like sand, you're everywhere
I hold on too tight
And I'm afraid I've lost you.
Good morning sunshine,
The moon says Hello.
Two you will never see
Together
Let us defy gravity,
And turn the sky
Purple
Open your arms,
Fly,
Take me with you
Keep the tears for late,
Now the smiles poor
As I can't help but
Love you.
And think I'll never see
The day
Where my heart
Breaks
Into a million little pieces like
Shattered glass
Sparkles in the sun
Like your eyes forever in my thoughts,
Forever in my,
Dream(s) clouds pass
Never the same like your
Voice keeps me tame
Before I break
It's my life you take
You hold it in your
Hands
I never want to let
Go
Be free, but come
Back
It's you I
Lack of love
From the one I
Want
A single white
Dove, you resemble
With an impeccable
Beauty so strong
For you I long.
Everyday
When the sun sets
And the moon says
Goodnight
I'll dream of you
And know
For sure
The things I do
Are because of
You
And for you.
Here
Between each
Ear(s)
That hope to
Hear, one day
That you love me too.
