Hold me with your arms so tight.
Cold nights but I felt the warmth
Gradually sinking inside.
We are so close.
So close that our hearts synced.
Closer for our eyes that have met and fallen.
But so far, for our feelings to collide.
So Close - Jon McLaughlin

Various conflicts
Under similar pain
The wrenching in the heart
Unable to explain

Gazes of understanding
Wordless dialogues
Taking nothing for granted
A mind filled with complicated thoughts

Watery hues
Breathless chokes
Tonight, my dear
*I'll still hold you close

The farthest sea
I could see
With my eyes
Indeed, my inner eyes

Like you told me
Hold your breath for a sec
Hold it in for me
Close your eyes for a sec

Flow with the river
Ahead of you
Let her carry you
Sure, you'll feel her
Journey, see, and heal, with your inner eyes

Sometimes life loves to spite
And sends those we love
Far away and out of sight
Making them hard to think of
We measure distance by inch
We measure time by the minute
But friendship it won't infringe
Because love isn't easy to forget
It isn't something we measure
Love is what we always keep
A feeling we forever treasure
In our souls, ingrained deep
Distance may cause heart ache
But our bond it shall never break

Almost..
So close..

Firewalk..
Burnt feet..

World record..
Malfunctioning machine..

The best of the best..
Got disconnected..

Beautiful poems..
Looked on over..

Singing songs..
Kicked out of the band..

Publish soon..
10,000 dollars short..

Fastest runner..
Sprained ankle..

Singing voice..
Everyone hates my songs..

Storyteller..
Afraid to share stories..

Almost..
So close..
And the cycle continues..

I swore,
I swore I'd never open up again.
Not after all the scars were left,
Deep claw marks and burns
Left to be frozen over by my broken...
broken... ****...
my heart is so broken!
Cascading down as if it were rainfall
Getting caught in your let down hair;
Fine powdery snow that I brush off
To see your crystal clear face.
The smiles that hide behind your eyes
Those eyes that see right through me
To the depths of my heartbrokenness.
You saw each and every wound
As fresh as the day I bled
Drew your finger across them
Wrote your name on the walls of my heart.
Twinkling star of my tomorrow,
Reminding me that every day
Life has room for love
And room for lovers
And I swore,
I swore...
Your name will stay
On the walls of my heart.

I find it hard to open up
When the times I have, I get shut
Told to get over, deal with the pain
But what if I told you that I'm not the same?

There have been times when my heart burned
Because I pined, because I yearned
A lost love that was but my first
Eaten like acid, removed by hearse

Or times when I wake up and feel so empty
Like why am I here, please just forget me
Open your mind and be released
From the torturous memories that are me

Or times when anger flared up inside
And I dared you to try to hide
I wanted to end you for the lies that you told
For all of the ******* you offered, you sold

But don't forget I get depressed too
And I wondered if I really was something you could lose
If I had the worth, if I meant something
I'd hear sad songs and alone I'd sing

And everything hurts ten times more
Then what ever emotions you've had before
So don't put me down and say I ain't strong
When I've been carrying this burden all along....
Saw a zodiac post on FB... it said my flaw was I don't tell others how I truly feel and I felt inspired to write this

Yesterday I found an odd little place
A real hole in the wall sort of joint
Where the doldrums of life roll on and on
Where day changes to night, but leaves no one the wiser
Where today could be tomorrow even though it really seems like yesterday
When now and then are full of the same thing

It's an odd little place
A real hole in the wall joint
Just look through the looking glass
And dive down the rabbit hole
And you'll discover this world within ours.
The other night I did something I hoped I wouldn't have to do. I went to visit a very close friend of mine in the behavioral health/psych ward of the hospital. It's not that I didn't want to have to go to a place like that, it's just that I hoped I could help make it so that those closest to me wouldn't need to go there because things wouldn't get to that point. At least they're getting the help that I can't give.

Sometimes in life we struggle,
Other times we don't, it shows us that we're human.

Coming to the realization that this
Life is our only
One and we should make the best of it.
Struggling is a sign of having a good life.
Everyday is a new day to start anew;

Together we can bring peace to
Others, share the love and bring down the

Hate! We're all in this together
And together is how we can bring
Peace to this world.
People running fast, not enjoying what life
Is about; What's all around us. So stop and
Notice what's around you
Each day, smell the flowers, see the beautiful
Sunrises and sunsets and just know
Someone else may be having a bad day too-You're not alone.

                         *
It will get better after the darkness fades!
Title from Hoodie Allen.
Written as it came to me.
We're all going through this life together, no one is perfect.'
Peace and Love
