I am responsible
For me, and my actions;
I do my part for things to go smoothly
Honestly, you don't even do a fraction.

I paved the way for this to work
You trailed, staggering behind me
Creating potholes wherever you could
And you make it known, just to be a bully

I make mistakes sometimes,
We all do
I'm not excusing my trivial wrongdoings
But neither are you.

I thought you were my friend
I can clearly see that we're not
That is why I do not owe you
Another millisecond of my thoughts

I don't owe you anything.
You are in debt to me.
But I'm not being petty, or rude, or mean.

Just leave me alone.
I want nothing to do with you.
Pull up your socks and move on,
As we all should. As I have done, and will continue to do.

לא ישנה יותר לבד

עכשיו, כשאני חולה, אני לא לבד
תמיד לידי ארבע זוגות כפיים
לסדין הלבן הוא מביא לי בוץ, חבל וקרציה
מתחנן לשוקולד שקיבלתי בתור תרופה

לא ישנה לבד
כשאני חולה במחלת הבדידות והפחד
הוא נושם בקצב שלי
נשכב על כפות רגליי
לא דורש לא מפרש לא מבקש
והוא גם לא מתייאש

כשהכוח אוזל מגופי
נצמדת לגופו הקטן
הוא כאן
כולו בשבילי
this poem is written in Hebrew, dedicated to my best friend- dog, named Mikey. May be one day i'll translate it

Why am I tearing up
as I'm looking back at all this stuff?
I know I can't go back to these days,
so what's the point in feeling this way?

I dont remember the last time
I spoke to most of them,
So many of them are married now.
Of course I am happy for my past friends.

Sometimes it's just hard.
These people used to be the light in my life.
I'd run off the school bus to get inside,
just hoping they hadn't started a que yet.

I hoped so strongly back then
that they'd be waiting for me to get back.
Everything changed so fast.
Everything changes so fast...
I have not spellchecked this yet.

I'm anxious
That you'll stop needing me
The bricks between us keep getting taller
And harder for me to hurdle
I'm always the one scaling the wall
Pick axing through the center
So I can grab your hand
And yell wait!
I'm uneasy
That you'll stop wanting me
The miles between us keep getting longer
And harder for me to walk
I'm always the one running the path
Hijacking cars and speeding
So I can miss your hand
And yell wait!
I'm stressed
That you'll move on without me
The calendar keeps flipping
Years and years go by
I'm always the one trying to catch up to you
Running out of breath
So I can see the back of your head
And yell wait!


But you don't hear me...

you're my best friend
like a sister or brother

you're an undercover angel, so precious
you make life worth living, so stop wishing you were given death in its hands

we're still at the very beginning, existing
killing the past, fixing the future

do not fade out this perfect picture
i love you too much to break this sculpture

His light shines bright
Reminds me of a street light
So bright
Like the sun
The color yellow
To be cautious
Trying not to look directly into you
For I know there are warning signs
That I'm not paying close attention to
A star that twinkles
Only to find out you're fire
You're a danger
That my heart simply desires
A street light inspired this poem

For me,
you and I
Are perfectly Fit
for this time
But the
fear accommodates
In my mind. .

What will it
turn out to be
with time?
A question
which haunts me often,
tormenting
mostly at night.

You might say
not to think so much,
but I wish you
could understand
You are not a mere person
to hangout with.

You are more than that!
A friend, a companion
with whom I fell in love.
An asset for me
which remains
undefined!

Love you to the core.
There are times when people step into our love, and be there in we every moment until the time permits us. Later, in life, all over again we might not be this much close enough like now.

Cherishing the moments now
As with time
There is nothing
which escapes change.
