Years

Years pass by quickly
Burning love embraced by all
Now let us break bread

For all my friends here on HP! ^-^
Be back soon!

I used to have alot of friends you see
Friends that promised to turn my endless dreams into realities
Friends that would inspire to respire nothing but pure joy and great laughter
That would creep secrets and wild fantasies out of me
Just to make sure that the world saw that which they saw in me.

But when I met the ultimate friend that never promised but made sure to never let go of me
That's when I saw that the friends that were there were not destined to be my friends indeed

They each stepped out and let me down when I was no longer who they thought I ought to be

They each left me cold and wet and not one came back to shelter me untill I was warm and dry
Oh no not one I might add

But this very friend that did instead of spoke that cared instead of promised even though He was empty and all sorts of broke
Showed me that friendship is more than the mere words you speak and the dreams that you share to turn into realities.

It's the bond between beings that requires actions that would speak louder than words and reassure you that this love between all of you is there to settle whether high or low.

Seal Beach

Remember when the pier burned down?
That familiar boardwalk we’ve known
since we were kids. We used to get milkshakes
at that Ruby’s, watching waves through
the window before they crashed down
and demolished beneath us.

Go ahead deflect
Redirect
When I'm breathing down your neck
I won't stop
I give it all I got
Always until the end
Cause you'll never be my friend

Remember the long drives we used to take
down Pacific Coast Highway? The only road
worth traveling in the thick summer heat.
Pick your poison and wrap it in a palm leaf,
tell ourselves it's natural while we light it with a wick.

Introvert (Please don't talk to me)

" My first instinct when I see a cat is to say, "Hello".
My first instinct when I see a person is to avoid eye contact and hope it goes away "

"That's the things about introverts; we wear our chaos on the inside where no one can see it."

" I like cancelled plans. And empty bookstores. I like rainy days and thunderstorms. And quiet coffee shops. I like messy beds and over-worn pajamas. Most of all, I like the small joys that a simple life brings."

I definitely suffer from a form of social anxiety. I tend to keep to myself a lot. The only time I'm at all "outgoing" is around family. I never really understood why that is. I guess you could say I'm afraid of rejection. I find myself an "odd" person and I tend to embarrass myself quite often. I can't retain physical friends. Most of my friends are via social media. Because then, I have the security behind a [computer] screen.

feeling weird

those self depreciative thoughts
running through your brain
again and again
'cause in a world that no one
comprehends your deepness
and intensity,
you're bound to feel left out
inappropriate
sad and wrong.

you do are enough.
you do are funny.
you do are caring
and generous.
and if they don't value
all these great qualities you have
then, it's their lost, okay?
not your ******* fault.
keep doing you.
that's the bravest thing to do.

Ice

Friendships now on ice
Turn away with answers found
Lament in your eyes

Micrography-Mike D Jun 2018

You are my friend

You are my friend…..

One of maybe two or three
I give that label to
and now you’re moving far away
I don’t know what to do

Of all the people in my life
you're one I like the most
And when you’re gone I fear I’ll be
a lost and empty ghost

In rough times you could make me laugh
No matter if crying
That’s how it was for you and I
Song birds always singing

Seldom in life those come along
with whom you just connect
No effort needed to belong
Each other, you both get

In a dark sky, you’re my North Star
Beacon of light and hope
But now it’s just an empty space
Left with six feet of rope

And selfishly, in fact I'd do
about most anything
If I could get you not to leave
Forever we could sing

But doing so would mean that you
Would live life in a cage
Taking away what makes you, You
It wouldn’t be the same

I’m not that selfish even though
the pain rips at my core
I’d take it for eternity
If it meant you weren’t sore

My dearest friend I hope you know
I love you very much
And even though you won’t be close;
Can not reach out and touch

I know we’ll talk and even see
each other time to time
When touching base or catching up
To know each other’s fine

But like a tide, sometimes in life
Friendships will ebb and flow
Each person has a life to live
And down a path we go

And even in those times when we
might drift further apart
You’re someone I’ll always hold near
and cherish in my heart

Fly Fly away now little bird
Go off and spread your wings
And I’ll wait here till you return
When once again we sing

After a Year

Oh darling, you make me grateful
for gloomy summer days. The only way
I can feel close when you're so far away,
or gone entirely, or everywhere at once, I don't know
how it works. All I know is you're not here,
and wolves parade in friendly forged masks,
wishing their energy could be even
a fraction of yours. Pretending
they spend theirs the same ways as you.

Only you and I know the truth.
The darkness you hid from most
that I was so honored to share with you.
We'd remind each other to come up for air,
each stuck in our downward,
spiraling undersea dreams.

There was no one else like us.
I'll never be quite whole again. True love
that was never in love--the thing about us
is we are made of it. We were the packing peanuts
around all those we love, but when
there was no longer enough the box emptied out,
and I stay here still wishing it might fill.
