May be you know its true
Of all the things I do
You were the reason
And never did I treason
As my memoire was filled
With nothing less than you
And now as I see you
Lying down in this forbidden dome
With eyes shut close
Fragrance everywhere
With tears of despair
As I no longer perspire
The you in me
As you have gone far
Far away from my reach
And girl, you shall remember
‘I’ shall never stand alone
As I seek the real me in you
Even in life or in death
As I shall follow you
To your kingdom tenure
Every poem requires a soul to be worthy to be spoken of. I speak my soul out through my poems and thats what comforts me more than anything in my life

Broken Pieces Mar 2020
Have you ever gotten to the point where you push the ones you love so far away they don't even bother trying?
I have, it feels like everything is dying.
I mean it was might fault in the first place, I pushed them hard,
But I was just afraid of letting down my guard.
This is what I get for being scared of getting hurt,
This has all made me so very alert.
I'm such a fool,
And you were cruel.
I let him take advantage of me,
Now I'm drowning in a sea.
But it's not his fault I was so dumb,
It's not his fault I've become so numb.
I wonder how the ones I used to love would react,
I bet they would look at me and cry since I'm so cracked.
I wish I could say goodbye to all,
But you would get mad and put up the wall.
So instead I'll sit here and smile,
Hoping I don't have to stay for much longer.

I'm on my way but I don't know
I'm slinging sacks over everyone I know
I'm on my way but I don't know
They all go in different directions I'm left alone
I'm on my way but I don't know
Why I gave anything to anyone
The feeling remains

I am just a raven
I was the one who was sent
To see the waters rise and recede
But my story forgotten by a dove
Now you ignore me
But yet you mistake me
For a measly crow
When I squawk, you tell me to shut up
But when I am silent, you mock me
So I squawk, and it repeats
I pick up your scraps and waste
Left on the battlefield
With my hard work and precious time
Yet you look up to the soaring eagle
Forgetting who cleaned your mess
I wanted to write this to you
To remember me
But now I mourn with these phrases
Because who would need to listen to me?
Raven is a poem about people who have so much potential and good character. However, they are forgotten and disguised.

why do I feel
like I would
welcome you back
with open arms
after being ignored
for an entire year
if you wanted
to be part of my life
once again
If you leave me
All the hangers will get tangled in the closet.
It won’t matter;  all my clothes will be on the floor.

If you leave me
The cheese in the refrigerator will turn green.
And the milk will soon be far too thick to pour.

If you leave me
The remote will only tune in somber shows.
That will be OK;  I’ll have forgotten how to laugh.

If you leave me
Dust bunnies will build a hutch beneath the bed
Where one forgotten slipper hides that I will never move.

If you leave me
The sun will shine on everything that’s not within my view.
I won’t mind;  my sunglasses will fool everyone but me.

If you leave me
Hummingbirds won’t visit the back garden any more
They’ll be blind to the red juice in the feeder.

If you leave me
I will build a house of memory and grief
And move myself inside and lock the door

Don't know where this came from.  Nobody is leaving anybody here.

I am stuck; here, outside.
No one's home to open the doors,
Plus I'm tired, lonely and coarse.
The insects are swarming me,
They won't leave,
For I am food in their eyes,
Exposed and out of place.

I keep on retaliating, consistently,
But there seems to be no end to my misery.
I'm tired of waiting; I hit the doors,
Knowing no one will answer - I pound some more.
Begging, crying; someone please open the doors.
-This is me literally speaking, but please, search your heart for another meaning

I'm stuck here outside my house :( no one's home. I just got home from school and I'm waiting for my mom to come back. But I fear it'll be hours before she does. So here I am, stuck outside.

I feel empty
My emotions were stolen from me
By the man who once told me that he love me
But suddenly, he just left me

How a fool I was when I told him I would give him anything
So a gave my all, I gave my everything
But Without a warning he was gone
Took everything now I am left with none
When you give away everything, and they dont give you anything then you are left with nothing. Its just. Sad. So sad

Don’t you dare try to betray
A woman that chose to stay
To love you till the end
To your wounds she promised to mend

Don’t you dare try to leave
A woman who live
Lives just for you
For you, anything she can do

Don’t you dare try to hide
From a woman that lied
And said she will be okay
As long as beside her you’ll stay

But you did
Betrayed her and left
You even hid
Yourself

now

Don’t you dare try to find
A woman you’ve left behind
To find her, you cannot
‘Coz here in this world, she is not

Don’t you dare regret
The things you have let
Let unfold because of your choices
'Coz you gave in to your vices

Don’t you dare forget
The sufferings she had met
The burden she carried alone
Your sins to her that you can never atone
