Born

Ugh, **** it
Just forgive him
So that you can move on

Just forgive him
For yourself
So that you can breath

Just forgive him
So that you try to forget him

The stresses of yesteryear will still be there
choose to move on
eat these chocolate I bought  you
it was 70 dollars
I don't walk around plucking money from trees
the least you can do is freekin  eat them

forgive that idiot already
I need my sleep back
I need my life back
the endless tears  are just killing me

I mean, don't you ever get tired of crying
I mean, why give him your heart and soul
only to be ripped off like that

Just forgive him already
or is it the ***
do you really, miss it that much
I mean, that guy was really good
really great I could give him an A+
he was that great I would cry too if he left

Just forgive him
Cause life goes on

Before the church was empty..

bones

Before the church was empty..

On the day
she turned to dust
she asked the wind
to be her friend
and it picked her up
and ran her
through the fingers
of it's hands
and it poured her
into pockets
and whispered
to hold on
and before the
church had emptied
they were gone..

Release Me

Release Me

Release Me
Haunting Memories
Just let me be
Keep lingering around
Like I live in a ghost town
Feel goosebumps on my neck
Turn around to check
Like words I need to get to pen
These memories haunt from within
What's gone is gone
What's done is done
Cannot make it right
So release me into the night

was inspired writing this after I read Weeping Willows "Shards of Memory" which is an awesome poem if you haven't read it yet please do.

Torture

Sep 2015 Tryst

Torture

starts off as a whisper in your ear
something you hunger to taste
something you long to feel
and something you yearn to see
Then becomes a tormented dream
something you ache to have
something you crave to savor
and something that...
just can never **be

A Desperate Soul

A Desperate Soul

I know how to recognize a desperate soul
    Wood for our fire
      To keep our family warm
        In winters cold
          What is the sacrifice
            Dear tree
              You captured the sun
                Drinking the rain
                  Roots deeply in soil
                    Mother earth
                     Ashes to dust
                        Cinders to rust
                           Reaching for heaven
                             Only to become
                               The god of fire

Nothing can ever be truly destroyed. Everything can only be converted. Even humans... we become something else.

Mad Man

Mad Man

We're all a bit kooky somehow,
Have a strangeness to us in a way,
But just seems like i especially.
I'm loony i think.
Something's unwell within me.
When something goes south I go with it!
So it must be said,
Once and for all...

I'd go mad without you.
Absolutely mad.
I'll need the mad house without you.
I'll be residing James Weldon Johnson's "Sence You Went Away" all the time without you!
Therefore, it begs to be said,
Once again...

I'm a mad man without you!
