The mess of breakups is
Despite how hurt she is
He is to
They both show it in different ways

But both are heartbroken
Both are lost without each other
They both lost their bestfriend
Both are miserable
Each deal with it differently
Friends and family helping

But for him demons came knocking
Seeing everything as lost he let them in

Wandering these oceans lost for ages
Shore is close but far at times with the
Lighthouse just barely out of sight
But the sailor hesitates, wondering if
It’s going to be painless. He gets close but
Turns around at the last possible moment
He can’t turn to shore right now or maybe ever
As he sets out he sees a possible island, but
Is it an island or a mirage?
He sets out on the small boat that is all he
Has left from the last crash with nothing but
Him his broken heart and the crown
He knows it could end in heartbreak just
Like the past encounters but he still moves on
Because when one feels pain all his life, you
Forget what love is and start to realize that
Maybe pain is all that you would ever know
So the sailor aims closer to it wondering if
He gets shipwrecked what would he be left with?

This is for my secret fan the one out there that has
Read everything I ever wrote that sits never liking but I
Know she is there, smiling and wishing she could to show me
But she is there no matter what

I know life has been an uphill battle for you, but God reserves
These for his greatest believers I know you’ve had tremendous
Heartbreak but it will get better though it’s not now it will happen

You are going to find that perfect someone who banishes Eeyore from
The list of personalities. That person is going to make you the a Queen
But not the Queen Of Fixing Hearts but still a queen, He’s going to make
You happier than ever possible, who’s going to love you no matter what flaws
You think you may have

Until you find him, pull on the strengh of your friends, God and my poems. Take a deep breathe
Day in and day out put on your biggest smile and show the world you are the Bear I know you are,
Because you will find that person one day and he will make you a
**Queen

People only see the outside of you
They don’t see the demons swirling around
Underneath the thin surface separating the two
People scoff at the idea of me having them
“You couldn’t possibly have any, you are
To sweet!

But alas that is a bitter thought as they walk
Away. Multiple demons haunt me and live
Inside me, some stay their thirst on terrible
Whiskey and burning ***. Others breathe
Thought the smoke that fills the lungs. Another
Feeds on the negative emotions and destructive
Thought I have about myself. But the last of them
Lives by spitting tobacco and leading the others

I have demons just like anyone else, I just hide
Them better than others. The demons though
Have a terrible hold and grip on me. I can’t escape
Them but I got to the point that I’m accepting them
Now. But who’s really in charge now, me or those
Demons?

As I walk these empty roads
A cold rain falls soaking me to
The bone as I put one foot in the other
But the cold pellets serve only to focus
My tired mind and bring my focus into
A clearer picture
I look back at past heartache and wonder
Where they are now? I see passing faces
Some, few smiling back at the sight of me
Most are angry, hateful at what I did.
I don’t blame them, If I was them I would hate
Me also
As though faces fade into nothing, I consider
The future and faces that start appearing,
Faces of crushes who would laugh at my offering
Of love, those that love as a brother and finally those
Who start to love me more than a friend.
There seems to be only two paths to go down
But who can say what is the right one? The dammed
Crown on my head gives no help, only making matters
Worse. Because on top of the crown is a broken heart
And it splits, each heart pulling a different direction
As this happens I know the future will have more broken hearts
In it as I move forward in life
Because no matter what at the end of the day the Crown of
Broken hearts sits on top of my head, a beacon to the breaking
Of hearts and the one thing they say about kings.
**Kings never die, especially not the King of Broken Hearts

For every person their cards are dealt
A hand that foretells their life
To tell how everything will play out
Four cards for a life, a buy in that’s forever
Mine were dealt a card from each suite
That shadows my life forever
The first was the suite of spades
The card a two representing the dual
Spades of my thoughts and actions slowly
Digging my own grave deeper and deeper
The second dealt was from the club
Suite and the Jack was flipped representing
My need and want and need of the
Club life despite not ever fitting in
The third was the diamond exclusive
And the Joker was shown, for
I’m far from the riches and the
Joker of the court
The final suite is flipped, the suite
Of hearts and the card is a king
But the king has a different
Meaning, for it is the king of broken
Hearts because what is more fitting
For me? For I’m the king of enternal
Love loss, sadness stretching to the
Ages and forever will don the crown
Of thorns and be the crowned the
*King of Broken Hearts
