Just pretend that you don't know me

And I'll just pretend too
That I don't have feelings for you

©IGMS
Don't expect too much from me

'cause my days are numbered

'cause my lights are limited


In the end

You' ll gonna throw me


broken

You asked me "What's wrong?"
I asked you to count with me
One
One day you just stopped coming around
Two
Two days have passed since my last meal and I'm still staring down the toilet hoping to empty whatever is left of me
Three
Three words repeated over and over I love you I love you I love you I love you
Four
4:00 a.m. showers letting the bathtub flow over hoping to drown the girl I hate because that's the girl I have become
Five
Five bottles down moving onto number
Six
Six daisies making a chain around my neck like a noose holding the measurement hoping that I'll at least be pretty when I die
Seven
Seven days every week I didn't want to get out of bed because how could I try and stand on solid ground when I'm sinking and everyone else around me is flying like
Eight smoke rings escaping my lips as I wish that maybe my last breath will float up with it
Nine
Nine hours I should be sleeping but instead I stare at that pill bottle did you know that
Ten out of Ten doctors will prescribe you with pills if you're even the slightest bit imbalanced in the brain
Nine
Nine years of prescriptions piling up ignored in fear of becoming a monster like the one they're trying to create
Eight
Eight cancer sticks at the bottom of my bag because addiction is addiction because it hurts the same
Seven
Seven minutes I count over and over did you know that's how long it takes to die by hanging I know because of
Six words you said
Five years ago "Why don't you just go **** yourself"
Four attempts in one month why can't I just die
Three
Three hours spent sobbing on the bathroom floor with
Two bullets in
One gun shot bang!
Zero
Zero chances left
No Disclaimers
My vast heart views panoramas,
Of wide depths, open to oceans,
Sorrow has broke no thing alone,
A pink starfish legs under waters,
Arms ever sinking into wet sands.

As tides roll in, the sea birds whirl,
Exploding clouds of spray an' skirl.


My soul, washes up, for granted,
Untook leftovers of the beached,
Endlessly salt dry things all alone,
Holey shells, driftwood, seaweed
And half buried, one pink starfish.

*As tides roll in, the sea birds whirl,
Exploding clouds of spray an' skirl.
I do not know the cure for mortality of when, where, how, or why.
I do not know why sadness makes me cry.
I do not know why someday I will die.
I do not know why I have not met a marry me guy.
I do not know why love money can not buy.
I do not know why no one to me says hello or hi.
I do not know why lovers cheat & lie.
I do not know why I am ****** to exist & dwell in this sty.

I just want you to be mine, I want to hold your hand, till the end of time. And watch the sky in your arms, you would keep me safe without harm, and we could be happy as lovers, and friends, and our happiness together would never come to an end...
When I look into
Your  beautiful eyes,
I always find
That your my prize.

When I hear your
Soft but charming laugh,
Its almost tears
My heart in half.

The way you smile
Makes any man stare,
But I'll be the one
Who'll always be there

Every part of you is perfect
From your head to you toe,
Given all that its worth
That much you should know.

We fell apart
But that can't be our fate,
You were destine to be
My true soul-mate.

There's only one thing
I need you to know,
I love you Maggie
I won't let go.

Until our lives
Must draw to an end,
I'll stand by your side
On gaurd to defend.

For every part of me
Loves all of you,
There's nothing anyone
Could say or do.

Because when I say
'Hey, Guess What?'
I know you reply
With a quick 'Chicken ****!'

So here we sit
Together at last
We left our problems
Fade with the past
A poem I was going to give to a very special women named Maggie. We broke up and I only hoped I'd be able to give her this poem. I told myself I can't until we are together again as it would only make sense. I just hope I can someday. I love You Maggie Lynn. Guess what??

Poetic T
An appearance from where noises were in twilight
Moving in silence towards the rising horizon.

Moments of life birthed in to a new beginning,
Breaking the waters and new creation risen anew.

Emergence upon a brand new day breathed forth,
Life visualized, smiles at the sight of a new day
What dawn can symbolize its not only sunrise
