The pupils of eyes, gateway to the soul
A scorpion, venomous and painful
Crows and ravens, ominous
Black Pearls, rare and priceless
Caves, deep and winding
Igneous rocks, sharp, cutting
The emptiness of space, vast
Spider, waiting and weaving
The shadows of your mind, dark
Blackness of your soul, swallowing

Cold rain falls from sky
Homicidal man below
Woman walks alone

I don't know anything about it
I just ***** my words on a page
I don't try to learn
I don't try to improve
I'm just really good at talking
And I guess you're willing to listen
So thank you

:)

Mind in a fog
Can't write a poem
Words aren't coming
Head is just spinning

I remember the way I weave words
Seemed so easy for me to do
Right now I can't form a sentence
Maybe a bit of food will help

Wanting to write a limerick
Feels like it's a gimmick
Just don't have the passion
Can't find my writing fashion
Just need to find my topic and pick it

These drafts I have about you
I can't finish them
I've tried for months
But the pain is too much

How could my family hurt me this bad?
How could we hurt each other so bad?
I have only one line written on each of you
I can't bear to write to the end

PTSD and so many fights
Cheating wife and lying husband
Father smokes like a chimney
Mother drinks like a shower drain

Brothers joined the armed forces
But I'm too disabled to join
I'm a great shot and can take a bullet
What more do they want?

So I'll be the black sheep
The outcast and pariah
I'll rise above you all
But I'll never forget you

Manipulating trying to get some skin
Narcissistic guy trying to get a win
Go ahead and make her jealous
But she won't submit to your selfishness

Dude, she's an angel
You wanted a ***** instead
But you're the ***** my man
And she still is a precious angel

So try and drag her down
She'll just fly away
Leaving you alone on the ground
Sinking in your wretchedness

Two people love each other. That's all that matters. Things can go wrong and fights can get nasty. Anything as precious as that can come to
a screeching halt at any time, but if the love is still there, anything can happen. It would be crazy to not at least give love, the most influential
and powerful force on earth since the beginning of time, a second chance to change things for the rest of our happy lives. How can you be okay
with losing me? How can you imagine me happily with another person? How can you sleep knowing that my lips don't belong to you anymore?
What if we were made to live in each others arms like two pieces to a unique, brilliant, and perfect puzzle? Our love is better than this and you
and I both know it. This isn't the conclusion we were meant to say farewell with and all the happiness and bliss we shared together wasn't simply
a fun way to pass the time. You are the love of my life and all I could ever ask for is a second chance to show you that we're the perfect dream
team we always joked about. I count to infinite while I pray that your heart will be mine again. Two people love each other. That's all that matters.

God, I gotta say
I don't understand
What it means
To be a Christian
Anymore

Your grace abounds in sin
But we're not to commit sin
We sin everyday, everyway
Not one of us is clean, ever

I'm having a tough time here
Would You please make it clear?
My soul is forever Yours
Flesh breaks our union
