Pity

Is it pathetic to say:
"Please come back?"
Because that's all I think
When I see photographs of you.

Is it pathetic to fall on my knees
And beg you to remember.
To remember what it felt
Like to hug me close
Under those fireworks.
To remember how we spent
More time looking at the
beauty in each other,
Rather than the
Sparkle in the sky.

Is it pathetic to tell you
How many hours I have
Spent wishing to once-again
Feel your body close to mine,
To feel your sweet tongue on my skin?

Because if it is,
I won't say anything at all.
For what's worse than being
So easily forgotten by you,
Is watching the respect you
once held for me be replaced by
nothing more than simple pity.

Most Days

Most days I'm okay.
I get by with a smile, a nod
or sigh so delay.

Most days I suppress
blabbering thoughts and memories of chaos and stress.

Most days I try
To find empathy inside
but it's to hard to comply.

Most days I struggle
Finding where I belong
Drowning in what may appear a puddle.

Most days I see
And I mean clearly see
There's just no point for people like me.

Pity

I feel pity for the one
Who hurts and sleeps soundly

                                                                  I feel pity for the one
                                                                  Who loves foolishly and gets broken

I feel pity for the one
Who believes himself worthless

                                                                  I feel pity for the one
                                                                  Who 'shunned' for unique ideas; gives up

I feel pity for the one
Who plays with the hearts of others

                                                                  I feel pity for the one
                                                                  Who scared of getting hurt doesn't try

I feel pity for the one
Who lives life plagued with regrets

                                                                        I feel pity for the one
                                                                        Who appreciates not what he has

I feel pity for the one
Who can't let go and move on

                                                              I feel pity for the one
                                                              Who can't sort out his priorities

And I feel pity for you and I
For we are all  guilty of these charges

Untitled

You see,
i am not a singer.
I am a sinner.
I have no future
like a lady,
and my past is dodgy and shady,
at best.
Yet, you can rest.
Even though I am a liar,
i am not a murderer,
nor a thief.
Yes you will never know
where you stand with me,
but i could tell you.
But you never wanted that,
did you?
You hoped for a weekend with the slutty girl,
a week at most.
You never wanted to hold me at my worst,
only to admire me at my best.
Well, i pity you,
I pity you because you could not see the beauty
that my chaos is.

UNMASKED

(Early Mornings)

It is 4:10 AM
Here i am, facing you...
Haven't showered...haven't brushed...haven't gurgled
Too early to look...but, i could not resist seeing
This person with disheveled hair
Eyes are not too willing to open
Avoiding the uncertainty surfacing...slowly but surely
Making itself known, this morning so early...
An empty shell, is what i could see
A looming nonentity...

No coffee yet, but, the eyes already speak
You don't answer, your looks are so bleak
That is how you tell me i am  stubborn
But i've been this way since birth...so torn
You tell me, i am just in denial
In front of you, it is like, i am on trial
But, i am just a mortal
Maybe we are both tired
How can we ever go back to being inspired?
Maybe you'd rather shatter into pieces...like i would,
I'd carefully gather your shards...would you gather mine, if you could?

Now, later, tonight, tomorrow...we always face each other
There are days, when i look at you, you make me smile, i feel better!
But, most times, i hate the reflections, they make me glare
And i so despise the thoughts that ensue...i counter your stare
..... I close my eyes, with a plea,
A blink could not erase, the images that i see..

I have never wanted separation
And yet, Fate brought me here, in isolation
You're my silent pal...my silent witness
You say nothing when i become senseless
I leave you in the morning
I come home from work in the evening
And i find you still here... on this wall
Welcoming me home...where i just sit, or stall
Faint jazzy sounds comfort me
A few hours rest...late at night...i sleep...i am free
Then, again, the alarm ruins the stillness of the moment
Robs the dawn of its precious silence
And i rise...to drown anew in despondency...in self pity,
Or is this lunacy?
All i see is gray...and black
Be it dawn...or dusk.

If  ever i surrender
I'd be swamped with the stark truth, the reflections you offer
...this can't be a facade,
...in front of you, it's just too bad

I am

U n m a s k e d...

....I am weak, powerless...i crawl
Over and over, i struggle not to fall,
Over and over, i  look at you... but, just the same..i fall.

         (January 22, 2015)

Mother.

Why is it...
That all my nightmares are about you?
Age means nothing when I have to be the adult.
Why is it..
That I can't ask for help? ..Because it might worry you?
Mom, can't you ever have enough?
Is money the only thing that gets through to you?
I've said it in a drunken slur, I say it when I'm sober;
"I pity you."

I love her, i do.

Deadbeat Pity

I have a heart made of daggers
That could slice your deadbeat life in two
But why should I waste my pity
Spending it all on you?

A cry

I'm sorry.
If there was anything i could take back.
Its the negativity.
My idiocy.
The pain i brought you.
I just want to start over.
a cry for pity.
a chance to show you the truth.
the love that i show is real.
not an army could stop me.
you deserve to know.
you know i do to.
it is only fair but.
in our life.
what is fair.
is there such a thing.
i don't believe so.
do you?
think about it....

The reality has set in...

Waiting For Good Luck

I stand waiting for a bus.
Two women are next to me,
They're dreaming of good luck.
One asks the other
"Do you think it'll ever be?
Do you think I'll ever be happy?
Now that she's left me?"
A sister, a mother, a lover?
Who's to know.
But the pain in her voice is raw-
She can't have left long ago.
The wind causes my hair to spiral
And I flatten it in haste.
But the women don't seem to care-
No they don't want to waste
Any energy on themselves.
The other talks of her child:
A girl of almost three.
She speaks with such love,
Such joy but such woe:
She is worried her father will take her
Away from her home.
The bus pulls up and I mount it-
To me it's just a bus,
But to them its wonderful wheels,
Will take them to good luck.

To the two women next to me at the bus stop: I hope you both find your good luck!

Self pity

My life has never been this vapid.

My heart has never felt so much sorrow.

I feel like exploding into dust,

just scattering everything of me

out to the world

so I’d feel less alone.

Maybe this is what I get

for expecting so much

when I deserve less.
