The light beams down from the heavens, but they do not shine there grace on me.
Shackled by the mistakes iv made, careless in the dark, so I can be punished with never seeing the light again.
I miss her
I miss what I once was.
I was unfaithful
A lier
A cheater.
Who would dare want a broken man knowing the truth like that.
Im  foolish to think I had any chance, or hope..
Shes too perfect for me, not her beauty, no. Her soul when it touchs mine.
We danced, and sang in the car.
We played in a shopping market.
Kids finally living a happy life smiling and joyfully loving.
Then...
I bow my head, darkness gathers, a grave mistake takes place again and a again.
Now iv told her, I accept my paradise lost.
New year, I said.
New place, I said.
New me, I said.
New sheets, I got.
New strings, I played.
New food, I ate.
New me, I felt.
But,
Trees are still tall,
Grass is still green,
The sky is still blue,
And you're still
The first thing I think when I wake up,
And the last thing I think about when I sleep.
And I slowly realize
Nothing is really different.
When your heart is finally louder than your head
The day the war started
I was not surprised

Nation warring against nation
Governments unable to maintain peace

I sure hope it doesn't happen
i just can't breathe in here, my head is spinning
i believe the stale air is thinning
i get no answers to the questions i'm sending
black magic love spells are trending

i read poems. but never reach the ending
they lead me back to the beginning
i feel so guilty of the time i am spending
black magic love spells are winning

Ain't it a shame that so many new poets get ignored?
When you eat more than you said you would
Forgive yourself
When you accidentally text the boy who broke you
End the conversation
When you get too drunk and kiss someone
Don’t be ashamed
When the pain becomes too great and you slip up with the blade
clean the blood
bandage the wound
and then call your mom.

We are all human

We all mess up

And we can all be redeemed.
Love is
Taking  a long refreshing lungful of air
As though for the first time
Only when with them

Love is
Placing your heart in their caging hands
Only to give  them the power to crush it

Love is
Sharing with them your sacred soul and brain
Only To have it shredded and butchered by them


Love is
Feeling them put you back together gently
With soothing words and gestures
So that they can rip you apart again sadistically

Love is
Watching them commit all these crimes*
Yet not having the will or want to stop them
It's all I have seen regarding that emotion so far
