the words we tried so desperately to conceal

hidden , buried

feelings neither you nor i wanted to feel

so gently we tip toed over emotions

we had scattered  so carelessly across the floor

pieces of our broken effort

to try to let love in


we whispered under tangled sheets

to break our walls down

I want to feel he said

then feel , she said .

deep exchanges of conversation
clear evidence of our sins

to go back now

to fix the wrong

an impossible possibility


irreversible devastation,
together that was our only creation

was our love merely and illusion
a fabrication of something that did not really exist?

it cannot be

yet so vividly i see

the reminders fading to a shade of purple on my wrists

aching in my heart

darkness in your soul

a downward spiral

Not everyone’s happy place is happy

Where has the innocence gone?

the carefree days
when time was merely a word
and tears came only from laughter

what is the lesson we are to take from this world?
a world that dismisses our feelings
showing no empathy
a world so beautiful
so painful

Where has the innocence gone?
the days of make believe
and dreams of the future
the days we were invincible

As we grow
it seems those memories fad
for the process of growing
teaches us those memories
could only be imaginative

that our warrior castles
were only chairs covered in sheets
and our armor
merely cardboard and tape

Oh how I long
for the simplicity of those days
the comfort of endless hope
and possibilities
