Scarred

There’s a kind of grief
in a long leaf pine
with a scar cut deep
in its bark from lightning
that shines beneath
a winter’s moonlight
all alone out there
down by the water
like a man in a wheelchair
grieving for a daughter
at the end of the dock
hard and gray
old as the rocks
and cold **** waves
that break in time
along this god forsaken
piece of coastline.

It comes uninvited
I don’t have to be alone to feel it
In fact I’m surrounded by people right now and It’s there
You see these people are people
Not connected to me
And I do have friends
But I don’t feel gotten
I have my front to fit in
A side they like so I keep it there
But I’m not me
They don’t see me
For if they did then I’d truly be alone
— loneliness
What the world doesn't know is
You sometimes linger in my head
What happened taught me more than you could imagine
I cried over that war of pain, I thank you for my brand new me.
sometimes acceptance is key
You should not have believed me
when I said I loved you once,
a cruel act of my misleading,
taking Ophelia for a dunce

Flee from me while you're still sane
Cupid's bow flings just a dud,
I am but a Hamlet,
and my words as clear as mud

she took me by the hand
and lead me through the crowded club
from where the air was stagnant
with uncertainty
into reality
i wish
"sorry"
can make
the pain
stops

gun in your hands
was fully loaded
you aimed it at my head
pull the trigger I said
i know you will
you fired the gun but
it was my heart you shot instead

I think of you today.
Seeping from it’s frost-covered dome

I heard a sand’s sound strip away the time

Because every bright eye formed into dust

I saw the parts of the whole being smeared

Because every past colored statue remained sacred

I feel each silk glossed reflection getting torn

Because the new ones came replaced

I sense another juncture being dream kept

Because this one is already being shaken

I want to plunge through this ooze,

Because its from you

In this illuminated world
