I lost myself
After I lost you
Why didn't I see
I was letting your eyes
Make me as we speak

Your words, comments,
Even the little gestures
Crowned me
Victory or defeat

I lost you
Now I only see my feet
They go nowhere
My head is empty
With despair

Loves empty canvass
Draws no more potions
There needs to be evasive action
To take hold of my endings

Scrap my tongue
Scatter the ashes across this
Plain white backdrop
Make scrimmages from
Self doubt, self pity,
And disappointment

There's no point in running
I'm always on empty

I often hear whispers
They say sit
Feel what she's done
What's left
Now binge on forgiveness

You'll find your soul
Underneath it
The flame will spark again
The dead will speak in color
Another shoulder will appear
To hold all of your secrets

The moon is full tonight
Maybe this light
This dark bright ancestral light
Will be my path

I have no earth to grab on to
I might as well die
Float up to the sky
Ask the gods
To bring me another muse
Someone just as lovely as you

I'll stay lost forever
If that's what it takes
To build a garden
Inside of these empty gates
I do not seek out a brighter day
A wish of happiness, no more
Vaulted hope; Cracked safe opened and released
Laughter and cheer walked out the door


Position every window blind shut
Draw the shades so none shall see
Must keep sunshine’s heavenly rays locked out
And preserve this perfect misery

I know your past. And I can't get to think that maybe you'll change like when the typhoon ruin everything and turns into a beautiful disaster. But this was just part of something that I keep on holding on while we were together. I keep on believing that one day when I wake up holding you I wish there wasn't anyone holding you too. This idea hurts me deeper and deeper every night. I don't want you to be with anyone else  but you leave me no choice and even though it hurts, I have to end this chapter and move on.

Let me dream of love;
Let me dream of love tonight.
Sometimes fantasy can be
Greater than reality.

Let me dream of love tonight.
Let me hold a body tight.
Let me gaze into some eyes
That are kind and beautiful and wise.

Let me dream of love tonight,
Though it may not be real,
No matter how it may feel.
It will not be mistaken for a lie.
Some of my favorite poems are little songs I make up while in the shower.
I composed this and then wanted to get it on the site before it slipped away as so many tidbits often do. (I'm still in my towel) 3/11/2018 6:35pm

p.s. there is a rock festival happening outside my window, so of course I would have music on my brain.

we're only human, don't you see?
little humans on a big blue marble
little humans
little humans with their little human problems
like little human love and little human death
little humans coming and going and sometimes a stay
so stay
stay here

little humans like you and I
who's pasts are shrouded in do or die
live, let go and pass on without fail
but i wont let that memory stale
that sweet memory of you in dim light
where doubts were set alight, delight

so let me see what us little humans are
every mark
every tear
every moan
every scare

even in heaven, one must cry
for little humans will always try
always try to be the best they can
even when things don't go to plan

so let your little human be,
let me see all there is to see
don't be ashamed, afraid, insecure
for little humans are all these things and more
little humans like you are beautiful and wild
so don't let the little human problems be exiled

let them live in the beauty that is you
let there be sour in sweet
let there be tears in talks
let there be solace in sadness
let there be little humans
with their little human problems
like little human love and little human death
little humans coming and going and sometimes a stay
so stay
stay here

he looks at her
like the stars that shine
and i realize
i'm done wishing you were mine
this feels like recovery and heartbreak

im in nyc alone and terrified of moving on

Mindblown
I love myself, I let your security go
4 years into high school puppy love
With kids names chosen and a home under construction
But my dreams and ambitions were under demolition

I love myself,I let the mindless love I had for you go.
Cause you loved another
You look at her and me and our faces melt over each other's
I love myself enough to let me hurt;at least it'll save me
Leaving 2 men i loved the most in my life

I have to let him go
and accept his loss
My loss
of what could have been
But would never have

opening your eyes

and

find out that

your

suicide attempt

didn't work

What happend  after V wins ?

was it all the roses rightfully sent ?

filial revolution

fima evolution

Death is the true revelation

I suppose some people are

death proof

but

none are

pain proof
