listened to that song;
I don't remember the name
gosh
you've ever had this feeling
the feeling that you've lost it forever
trying to imagine a title
that would be the right one
over and over I just hear in my head
lalalalalalalalala

No one knows how my soul searches for you during the darkest night
Or how my feet gravitate towards your street on the regular
The air cold like your soul caresses my skin

The sounds of guitars and melodies decorating the streets in the distance
My starving heart aches to be fed by your presence

No one knows, truly knows
The scar you've left on my existence

sometimes I find myself
looking down
thinking of the past

I look through photos
of when things were okay
of when he still loved me.

I try and understand why things ended this way
why he felt they had to end at all
I think I understand

but then I wonder why I wasn't worth it
the nights he said he had faith in us
I believed him, what changed?

he doesn't talk to me anymore
it makes me sad
but I hope he still thinks of me
It's been 6 weeks now. I can't help but hope that some part of him still loves me. He said he loved me the last time we talked. But how do you treat someone you love this way? I don't understand, but I hope one day that I do.

The sun beats a dead horse through a desert of lies
the only oasis is 44 ounces of pure bliss
cooling the essence from within
There is no greater comfort, no greater satisfaction

On the hottest summer day
life drains out of the chalice of joy
Its remnants still cold against my lips
burning into my being the memory of it

Empty and discarded the heat rises
Once again roaming and rummaging through the day
searching endlessly for the reality to match the memory
a world of imposters pretending they are worthy

Trying to believe that contented equals happiness
Disappointment lies empty at the bottom of the bin
Left to wander in search of that purity of bliss
For there is no greater comfort, no greater joy

They lifts their lips to their cheeks,
Walks through and beneath the burning grasses, laughing.
They may not know how to try or seek,
Will they learn how to see and keep on moving ?

Down on the waters,
Waving sadly and dark,
It is still hard to believe that we fell over,
On past the border crack,
Of that cold and broken down feather,
That sinks into a despair turning black.
It will go, but in which way ?
Tomorrow
Or today ?

The wind is blowing through our body,
He has no hope for mercy,
He's growing weary.
And leaves fly afire with no sign of beauty,
For their sweet flight here is becoming blurry.

Lay the doubts under the day,
Let fall the wishes with the rain.
And now, don't let the world drift far away,
Keep its innocent Earth from any pain.
Feels like we're running to a wall,
But knowing it's us who'll break.
And if we must lose it all,
We might leave nothing to take.
It will go, but in which way ?
Will we find
What to say ?

So I looked down onto the past years,
And understood we destroyed what we had built.
But if we start to share some flowing tears,
Our hearts will die, and not from guilt.

It takes a lot to stay awake now,
It takes a lot to believe.
Yes, and some already think that death's coming down,
And they know they can not keep on living.
Too many people here,
And no soul is really sheer.
It will go, but in which way ?
Will we find
Where to stay ?
Au
your heart of gold makes you tarnish easily
why do you keep on polishing other hearts
helping them shine
even when you know it makes you tarnish even more, and they are not what you are searching for
maybe when you polish other hearts, you hope to find they're made of gold  
you have high hopes to find another heart of gold like yours
but with that tarnish you carry when you polish other hearts,
how will anyone know you're made of gold yourself?
The wistfulness of new love between us,
Those sweet smiles that accompany surprise,
That unexpected love must have been us,
Love at first sight each time before our eyes.

I pretend you’re someone I haven’t kissed,
And laugh because inside you know me well,
Our love is new but there’s no time we’ve missed,
Our love is growing in this youthful spell.

The longer we’re in love the more we start,
Playing out in delightful random ways,
Surprised and overwhelmed I match your heart,
We pass our years as if they were but days.

Our love renewed each day promises more
Of unexpected I’ve been looking for.

2 all tha women I luv’d b4, am I destined 2 be lonely?
I loved each of y’all differently but whole heartily thinking that each of you were my one and only.

2 all tha women I luv’d before, do you miss me? Do you ever still think about us?
All the times we shared, our possible future or even how I’m doing at this moment without ur love.

2 all the women I luv’d before, do you forgive me for my mistakes or do you still hate me to your core?
Though I was in love with ur flaws no ones perfect, there’s alwayz 2 sides to every coin.

To all the women I luv’d before, I wish y’all nothing but prosperity, happiness and all.
And I pray and hope that you find a love that we once called ours

To all the women I loved before, thank you for molding me for my future wife that I still haven’t met.
For she will be the last women I give my heart to, until my daughter breaths her first breath.
Inspiration:
Y’all know who y’all are; I hope....

A lifetime ago, I was younger like you,
before my dreams faded and life was still new.
I wish I knew then, all that I know now,
I wanted our life but didn’t know how.
I settled for less and tried the right things,
and cashed in my soul for all that it brings.
I’ve made my mistakes, like others before,
forgiveness more fleeting, ‘til you closed the door.
Waiting for answers, I went into shock,
you left me no choice but to turn back the clock.
I walk this new path while finding myself,
forgetting our past is best for my health.
As I move along, a decade removed,
my body more fit now to go with my mood.
I realize by now we could have had more,
alone I will see what life has in store.
I so miss the comfort of you every night,
kindness from others, brings love at first sight.
Each new encounter, just gives me a shove,
reminding myself not to fall back in love.
When, where and who will be the right one?
I’ve so much to give, just let it be done.
I may never take them, to become my wife,
but I need embraces to sustain my life.
Addiction exists with drugs and affection,
I’m itching for love at each intersection.
How long must I wait to rip out the sutures?
Pleasure Delayer, indefinite future.
This poem is about my feelings of transition from one place to another. I lost my career which pushed my wife to leave me. I have few answers but this poem can be applied to both difficult situations. I feel more than I should and still can't trust my emotions when entertaining relationships.
