Toro Dec 2012

I stay up late tossing and turning,
As each thought leaves my heart burning,
Longing for that person who would make me complete,
But as the sands of time travel, my life does deplete,
Alone I wander left to walk a lonely road,
Looking down I wish that time slowed,
Down to a crawl so I could find the one,
One that would heal this heart undone,
Traveling down this path called life,
As I see everyone else happy, fife,
The clouds of sorrow always seem to gather,
The second I begin to blather,
Losing myself in my words that keep me sane,
The words that keep at bay my pain,
There is no finish, no finish line,
Not even when the clouds give way to sunshine,
For that light never seems to last,
It always disappears much too fast.
Leaving me in darkness, in a stupor of thought,
Left searching for that which I've always sought...

In Pieces

I am just a man, left to pick up the pieces.
The pieces of a once strong figure.
Hammered down and broken through time.
Experience eroded the once stable frame.
Time was a cruel test for it would not last.
Standing tall over the masses.
Only to be torn down in the end.
Each disappointment caused a crack.
Until the cracks became too much to bear.
The weight on its shoulders made it buckle.
Some only looked on, emotionless.
While others laughed as they saw it crumble.
As it all fell to the ground it shattered.
The dust cleared and the rubble settled.
I look to the skies and close my eyes.
As I stand there and wonder what I have done.
Walking through the rubble.
Left alone to contemplate it all.
I am just a man, left to pick up the pieces,
The pieces that remain of my soul...

Almost Human

Fighting each battle,
Day in and day out,
No expression,
No sound,
Battling inner demons,
Keeping them in darkness,
No salvation,
No light,
Body aches and joints crack,
Hands grow cold,
No survivors,
No remorse,
Unknown territory,
New sights, heart pounds,
No friends,
No family,
Battered and broken,
Cold and alone,
No life.
No one.
It's only then that we become
*almost human...

Hypocrisy, Thy Name Is

Time and time again, we experience things that we assume are great,
We soon find out that each thing would lead to our eventual fate.
It’s hard to trust someone that has lied to your face,
It’s hard to get over the past and move on to a new place.
Sick and tired of liars, cheaters and the weak minded,
Living life day by day oblivious to society; blinded.
Saying that things will get better and continue forth,
Believing what we hear daily and henceforth.
Taking in every little white lie and replaying each word,
Ignoring the atrocities that may have occurred.
You claim to be someone you’re not and neglect who you really are,
Actions contradict your words, how truly bizarre.
The words you speak turn to silent tears,
All you stood for is dead after all these years.
Time can’t change the past; it determines what may come,
Time can only heal the hearts and minds of some.
Even if we’re given all the time we may ever need,
Some still can’t hide their lust or greed.
Gluttons for attention, sloths throughout the day,
While pride, envy and wrath control all we ever say.
Those truths that you claim are real are far and few,
Lie to me again and prove to me that hypocrisy, thy name is you.

Answers

In life questions arise,
Most answered in shadows of lies.
Leaving many dazed and confused,
There are those left abused.

Bedazzled by fathom of thought,
Disconnected from lessons we were taught.
Lost in woods of wonder,
As ideas, morals all torn asunder.

A question left unanswered, still remains a question,
As the search for truth becomes obsession.

Chivalrous

We are always looked over without a second thought,
Taken for granted, no matter what we brought.
There for you when you needed someone to talk,
There for you when you asked for company on a walk.
We open doors for you, compliment you everyday,
But we are always looked over no matter what we say.
Take you out and surprise you with but a single rose,
You thank us for it as you hold it to your nose.
You take in the smell, as your heart jumps for joy.
A thought runs through you head, "oh, boy
Your just a friend nothing more nothing less."
You tell him this as you confess.
I'm sorry, he says with a heavy heart,
I was stupid for tearing this relationship apart.
He turns his back and takes a pace,
Your heart slowly begins to race.
Heart broken, looking down as he walks away,
As he does everything in his power to forget this day.
He was there when guys treated you bad,
When your boyfriends made you sad.
You complain that there are no nice guys, it's all a lie,
And yet you let your best friend pass you by.
There for you through thick and thin,
Willing to do anything to protect you from sin.
He turns as you give him a hug, he gently whispers,
*"It's all in your head,
Because princess, chivalry isn't dead..."

Amame

Pienso en ti dia y noche
Not one day goes by
No puedo hacer nada
Can’t work or think
Hablar o estudiar
The thought of you
Me vuelves loco con amor
Your beautiful in every way
Pero tus palabras son mentiras
Why do you hurt me like this
Me duele el Corazon
The pain slowly kills me
Sin ti no puedo vivir
Just tell me one thing
¿Porque no me amas
como te amo a ti?
