he replays her birthday through his mind “make a wish,” he says with excitement. she pauses, thoughts running, then blows out the flame. He remembers her smile, The way the candle dimmed, And how their love did too. Now he lies awake wondering, Was the wish she made For someone better? For him to fade away? His heart shattered, He gathers the pieces Trying to make sense of what remains She once told him, “Maybe one day I’ll be creative inspiration” Maybe she knew. Maybe this was her plan. Awake, he lays in the dark, Writing poems and stories of How the relationship lost its spark. Broken-hearted, sobbing He whispers to himself. “My darling, you’ve become my muse”

A Smile I Hope I Never Forget
“Thanks for asking, but 𝑰 am fine, just a little tired. 𝑪𝒂𝒏’𝒕 complain, you know? Everybody gets a bit stressed sometimes, what with all that we’ve got to 𝒅𝒐. It’s not like 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 is any different than any other day, any other person. 𝑺𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒃𝒐𝒅𝒚 somewhere has it far worse than I do, so don’t feel sorry for me. No, 𝒔𝒂𝒗𝒆 your compassion for a person who really needs it, not 𝒎𝒆.”

I think I’m just tired
A rose is chosen, In a vast flower field, It had been waiting patiently, For a love that was real. A human picked up the rose, In that field full of many, And so the two went, To live their lives happily. The rose offered its sweet scent, And the human its company, They traveled far and wide, From the country to the sea. The rose had small thorns growing, But it wouldn’t be an issue, The human never complained, Their love still pursued. Yet the thorns kept growing, And the ****** got larger, Then the rose saw the blood, Flow from the human like water. You must set me down, Our journey is over, Nonsense, replied the human, I can still last longer. You are hiding the pain, But your eyes do not lie, I can see your suffering, I know you want to cry. We had a great journey, We both learned new things, But now the sweet day is over, The bird no longer sings. It’s time to return me to the garden, And there I’ll wait again, For someone to hold, One of which I can’t hurt their hands. No, cried the human, I won’t let you go, I love you and you love me, I won’t give in to my sorrow. Their grip around the rose tightened, Their stem started to snap, Don’t you get it human, I can no longer love you back! The human loosened their grip, As a tear fell down their face, Then they began walking back to the garden, But not with much haste. They set down the rose, Right where it belonged, There will be another flower, Loving each other wasn’t wrong. I know there are others, But you’re the one I chose, I didn’t want daisies or lilies, I wanted the rose. I had to set you down, You hurt I and I hurt you, But the time we spent together, Those are memories I mustn’t lose. So goodbye my dear rose, I’ll never forget you, I won’t return to the garden, For I may not find love that was true. Take care of yourself human, Don’t continue to cry, Just keep your head up, Look towards the warm blue skies. Your journey is not over, Your love is not lost, You can go stronger than ever, Don’t let your heart begin to frost. This isn’t a “farewell”, A “goodbye” or “adieu”, This is a bittersweet wave, Just a simple “see you”.

The Rose in the Garden
A rose is chosen, In a vast flower field, It had been waiting patiently, For a love that was real.

In the field full of flowers, Only one you must choose. Depending on the one you pick, Determine how you live life and go by its rules. Dandelions, violets peonies and daisies, And ***** poppies which make you go crazy. Flowers of every kind lined up in a row, But would anyone dare to choose the lovely rose? Its beauty is splendid, the petals unique, But it’s also full of thorns, so most do not keep. But I’ll pick the rose, from the flower bed, I’ll hold it in my hand, even as my blood drips, red. Beauty through pain, isn’t it all what they say? Pain for the pleasure, I guess that’s my way. The thorns pierce my skin, with the flower in my palm. Alas I won’t care, I’ll be caught in the roses sweet song. I’ll carry my rose for others to see, I’ll suffer in silence, no one to hear my pleas. A sacrifice must be made for the greater good, So I had to pick the rose because no one would. The scarlet drops run down my arm leaving a ****** trail, I hope someone would follow and my pain won’t prevail. Perhaps I have held the rose for so long, That I no longer feel a thing. I can only hope when I set this rose down, Someone won’t pick it up and start the suffering.

Pick a Flower
I thought life would be, Meaningless, I started to lose my mind, Suddenly I looked up to the sky, Stars shine through darkest night, Yield the brightened light, Oblivion shattered, Upon reach utopia state of mind

Utopia
War How it rattles You always ask Monsters behind lines Everybody is a casualty Nobody is the same Fighting over what’s wrong In the most of the battle Guns roaring Helicopters patrolling Tomorrow’s children shipped over still Everybody knows All the ways Children play war How fun it is Only veterans know The real struggle Hiding in the bushes Entire platoons down Running in the jungle

War
No one knows. They never will. They laugh at me and taunt me, cal me names, bully me. The thoughts are getting louder, my sanity growing thinner. Flashbacks become daily visions, and dreams are thrown away. Dreams come true, but one will have to end in rue. And though before the rainbow comes the rain, there will also be that storm so vain. And others hear but do not listen, as the story goes. But only a true listener, knows this poem like I know.

Hidden Thoughts
I cannot run away from you You're running straight into my heart This pain is subsiding so slowly. I can't breath this last breath I can't weep this last tear, You're everything I've ever feared. When I think about those thoughts, I see nothing but fear, I see nothing but you, I feel nothing but a tear, I feel nothing but the perplexing pounding in my chest, my heart. I do nothing but breath my silent breaths Slowly, painfully, slowly, calmly, slowly. I do nothing but hear the sweet clicks coming to me slowly, I do nothing but it rises in me; the fear, I do nothing but it comes more hastily; my breath, I do nothing but feel so happy; it's you, I do nothing but it pounds more rapidly; my heart, I do nothing but they begin to appear; the tears. I'd do anything to keep these tears, I'd do anything to make you move more hastily; you're to slow, I'd do anything to keep this uncontrollable heart, I'd do anything to keep my hated fear, To get rid of them would mean to get rid of you. I'd do anything to keep these trembling breaths. I want to feel your breath, I want to wipe away your tears, I want to be to close to you, I'd stop being to slow, I want to take away your fear, I want to calm your beating heart. They could be one; our hearts, It could be ours; each breathe We could tame it; our fear They could vanish; our tears Together we could be to slow It could be us; me and you. I love this world of fears and tears I love the beating of slow hearts I love the feeling of your breathing

Today was the worst day of my life Was I always destined for a life like this The days are stirring, wildly unpredictable Best part is, I get to do it all over again Day after day it never seems to end Of course, I never thought life could be this My heart races with tomorrow coming soon Life is short and this is the life I live

Perspective
Round & round In circles I go An Endless cycle That finally was gone. After that, What is there left, Just an empty bottle. A few dropplets, Are only left, Remains of what was, And no clue of what will be.

I live trying to not exhaust myself by keeping up. But trying not to fall behind as that can be just as bad. Just sticking to the middle and remaining there. Average. Inbetween the top and the bottom. Unseen and overlooked.

Tweaker Tweaker Did you eat any dinner And Have you showered Tweaker Tweaker How long have you been awake When's the last time you had real sleep Or is everyday maintained W/ 10mins every half hr.

Did you finally get some sleep Were you able to escape the shadows and voices from in your head Tweaker no more Just admit This is the best you've felt Since your first time trying crystal   You feel human finally There's no going back To tweaker island You won't make it out The second time around So hide your very best Keep yourself busy And talk out loud When you feel like you Might relapse back into tweakers land.   With no chance to survive another night

Mona Lisa smiles, but is it a smile that hides her true feelings. Does she really smile or is she just giving the world what they want to see. Or do we just see what we want to see? Is Mona Lisa truly happy?
