I'm fine.
So don't question why
tears are filling my eyes.
I'm stressed
to do my best.
I must confess,
I'm a mess.
All this work in front of me,
the work,
it hurts my mind.
So don't wonder why
I will sit here and lie.
If you ask if I'm okay
just know I'll say
the same thing every time.

I'm fine......

yes, the sadness hurts

     but it's better

than being

     numb.

As I begin to lose
my sweet memory
The flotsam and jetsam
and ephemery.

The regrets, the injustice,
the pain and despair
The resentments, the insults,
the hurts and the fear.

The timeless reminders
of not good enough
That pale yellow post it:
“Hasn’t got the right stuff.”

That time that you said
what no one would say
“I don’t really love you
now please go away.”

Most of it gone now,
I can’t quite remember
It whispers to me
from a foggy December.

Am I better off for it?
Perhaps in some way
Have I gained from the loss?
It’s a bit hard to say.

I need no longer sit here
and artfully languish
In all the sad fury
of my piquant anguish.

Like my father before me
I’m one of those old timers
Reaping the benefits
of beneficent Alzheimer’s.

cutting my finger and it hurts
breaking a bone and it hurts
hitting my head and it hurts
you refuse to love me and it bleeds

i picture red ugly drunks, bitter
while delirious women dance around them
Together, lathered in music,
rock symphonies trudge over their pounding headaches

Blind date with a blind map,
oh Lord, where are my fingers running?
Are they again seeking out your heart?
For your body remains invisible
on uncharted lands
as your absence taking shape.
Godspeed with the Hand of Fate,
while mapping on the surface of this paper
for guiding me safe waters,
watching out the tides
while leaving nowhere
I reach you ashore,
"Geborgenheit" is the word;
safe & sound.

A ball will be bounced and will be coming back,
When you throw it on the wall.
A ball will be coming back to you soon,
When you throw it on the wall with a full speed.
A ball will lose its elasticity,
When you do this continuously.
A ball won't be comeback and it'll fall on the floor after this.
And it will find another way and will run on the floor.
Everything is a limit.
Hurting a lot can cause losing an elasticity.
Everything has a limit.
Hey guys...I wrote it about the relationship. Sometimes, when we hurt extremely, it can cause losing the relationship. And of course, trur affection/love can bear anything. But sometimes, it will cause the breakup between two people. So understanding is very important. Must not hurt anyone or avoid anyone if someone comes to us even getting hurts. If we will throw them again and again when they come to us, one day, they won't come permanently. So everything has a limit.

So it's a meaning for this poem. I hope everyone loves it. I love you all.

I thought I'd never write again,
And yet here i am..
Going through the same pain,
*******.

I feel soo lonely, the way I was once used to of..
For those happy days, its supposed to be a pay-off..
Am that lonely toy, nobody wants to own,
Am that orphan child, nobody knows is gone..
Am that cry baby, that cries despite her age,
Once for grades, then for beauty, then for better wage..

But nobody hears me,
Nobody cares for me..

Even my so called lover jilted me at the altar.
Thought that happens only in the movies,
But my life's example isn't very far..


He wanted a beautiful bride, for his pride..
From me all he wanted was ***.
5 years, used me, and moved on to the next.

I could very well be an idiot,
Still wanting and begging him to come back,
Am planning to book the church again,
And request people to be dressed in black.
I'm fed up... And i still love you *****.. And it hurts.
