From hiding behind your parents in a crowd to standing alone in hospital corridors.
From saving pocket money for candy to saving money for responsibilities
From drawing your dream house on paper, to worrying about rents and bills
From waiting for someone to pick you up to learning how to carry yourself home.
From writing names in your diary because you never wanted to forget them , to repeating names in prayers because you refuse to let them fade.
From asking endless questions to living with unanswered ones.
From counting stars in the night sky, to counting regrets
From blowing out candles and making wishes , to lighting candles in remembrance.
From saying "See you tomorrow" without thinking to realizing tomorrow is never promised.
From crying over a broken toy
To carry your broken heart with a smile
From reading stories about loss to living one.
From scraping your knees , to carrying your wounds no one can see.
From sitting together in classes , to hugging each other years apart.
From believing forever was a promise, to realizing it was only a hope.
From falling asleep anywhere to lying awake with a thousand thoughts.
From being afraid of dark , to finding peace in a dimly lit room.
from arranging funerals for butterflies you found dead in the garden to attending the last rites of someone you love.
From running to your parents after a nightmare to discovering that some fears remain even after you wake.
From believing the dead lived among the stars to standing beneath them and wishing they did.
From racing to grow older to wishing time would slow down.

What I would give for one more eve with you
My love.
I think about what you said to me
The day you departed.
“Never forget me, I’ll always love you.”
But how can this be true, when you have abandoned that very love?
————————————-
My love,
I carry enormous weight
Within my heart.
It becomes heavier every day that passes
And I cannot be led on like this.
I beg the lord,
With a cross in my hand,
To hand you back
For I will work hard,
Harder than anyone has before,
I will earn and not sin
I will resist and not burn.
————————————-
My love,
Whether or not you love me,
I no longer care.
You are ignorant,
A mosquito that I cannot slap away,
And I despite you for it.
Stop speaking to me,
It’s been years
Since I’ve spoken to you.
————————————-
My love,
I have earned this
I have toiled and struggled
Under the sun,
For longer than I planned to.
And now a new flame of love has been lit.
The wood is brittle and old,
And its flame is weak of doubt,
But it gives me warmth
You no longer offer.
————————————-
My love,
I miss you.
I am okay,
I am okay,
I am okay.
But no matter how okay I feel,
You cannot come back.
The flame I spoke about has invaded my heart
And engulfed me in happiness.
I am happy,
Thank you for letting me believe in the world
Once again.
I love you to the moon and back.
Forever without end,
Yours until time dies,
Even if you cannot remain
Mine.
My love
is yours.

Remind you; present soul
your embers hiding among ash.
Remind you; present feet
struggle to touch--
troubled with lonesome direction,
aimless in their grasp;
far from being graces' kiss.
Remind you; O sun
thy light a conquerer
reveal scars of existence.
Remind you; you
sleep not of tire, or escape,
rest as perfect reflection
and polish thy loves
to dull scars of existence.
Remind you; peace
like a dawn light folds
and ease thy fear.
Remind you; ancient wisdom
thy knowledge and fame
is as just its face
once your carrier is entombed.
Remind you; worlds
your's is just as doomed
as high love is fatal upon fall.
Remind you; words
as just comparison,
Renaming fear;
to truth.
And remind you; the road;
Thy road you are a spirit
of eternity.

Time,
space
and everything in between.
Heartaches,
tears
and secrets that don't come clean.
Gambols,
laughter
and smiles beaming keen.
Deep thoughts,
aloneness
and the dark places we've been.
Handholding,
careless hugs
and ready shoulders to lean.
Reckless stabs,
impulsive jabs
and caustic words we don't mean.
Contentment,
counting blessings
and hope we can glean.
*You,
me
and everything in between.*

Sing the scales for me,
The scales of love and commitment
Or of hate and resentment,
Just run me the scales
And tell me the tales
You know the ones
The happily-ever-afters
The smooth-sailing rafters,
The divorce rates rocketing
The greed stricken pocketing,
It’s the people, you know?
And it’s the people you know.
Yet the people you know,
Are rarely people you know.
So sing the scales for me,
One last time.
Sing the scales for me,
So I can hear you rhyme.
Sing the scales for me,
Once ‘fore you go.
Sing the scales for me,
Because it’s you I don’t know.

I don't hate you.
I just hate the hurt
you contributed to.
