The sun had taught me that
there are times
in life that
even the biggest star
has to bend and sink sometimes.

I try to write poems
About how I love you
How you are my world
How my heart beats your name
But the lines don't even touch my heart anymore
And the ends never rhyme again
The final couplet waits for the last verse
I don't want to say this
But maybe this is how the sonnet ends
I'm falling out of love I guess.

we had different opinions
but the moon set us right
we see the same silhouettes
under the same filtered light
we saw different shadows
but the sun saw new meanings
we danced beneath the moonlight
in shadows that were fleeting
searching through my October 4th poems I found this one unpublished... from 2 years ago, from Private to Public I leave no stone unturned...
Daddy mistreated you
He let you burn

Your anger towards him
To us, you return

Don't take it out on your children
We're suffering from this

I thought you loved us
Our old mommy we miss

One day things changed
The stress got too much

But now you're so irritated
Even with a touch

You scream and get angry
At everything we do

Mommy what has happened
To the old beloved you?

Somedays your fine
Others you're a mess

You say mean things
That cause us to feel less

You hurt us to the bone
And don't stop there

You continue to scream
And not at all care

I wish you could see
The person you've come to be

You're a mother of five
Please don't take this personally

You're a really great mother
You love us a lot

You've suffered so deeply
For us you fought

But I can't hold it in
You make me want to leave

I know it'll hurt you
It's my thought of pure peace

I love you so much
And I understand your pain

I see what you're going through
We'll all the same

All of us are here
Fighting right beside you

Sometimes it feels
Like your fighting against us

We are your children
We will always care

But you need help
Let your troubles go bare

We want to support you
And help you out too

Don't go against us
We won't go against you

Mommy please understand
That you might be ill

Depression and anxiety
Might be your ****

You're having mood swings
Irrational behavior

I'm not diagnosing you
But your not who you were

There might be something wrong
I can see

Because...
Your not who you use to be.

She hurt her skin,
just like everyone did to her heart.

Will you remember me
long after this day has passed..
Long after twilight of your life had last
in a time where your future became your past

Will you recall me
when your day ends
As for once,
We were friends
now we're just known strangers
moving towards different ends

It started
when we did a consensual crime
I took a part of you
You took a part of mine
Letting our fates intertwine

We shared our secrets
We shared our sorrow
We lived and laughed
like there was no tomorrow

but tomorrow came
and it tore us apart
showed us the Misfits
we really are

Till this day I regret
Of that Lie I spoke
your trust that I broke
for it was you who was hurt
but it was I who bled
For every tear you shed
you never turned back
I never did what I must
We just let our bond rust

I thought
what we had was one in many
oh! It was just a perfect irony

We were just chemicals
of an experiment that went wrong
strangers who just happen to come along

With tomorrow's dawn
I will be gone
I wish you to forget me
but if you don't
I just wish to know
How will you remember me?

i chug the bottle
and look around

i see you standing
there, with girls
hanging on to you.

i scowl and ask for
another bottle, i take
the next bottle and
take another swig.

i close my eyes as
the liquid burns
down my throat.

i open my eyes to
find you sitting next
to me.

you smile at me as
if nothing was wrong,
when everything was
the opposite of good

but you keep smiling,
ignoring the glares of
the other girls.

and you ask me,
"are you okay"

i look down at my
bottle and mutter,
"im fine"

"are you sure", you
ask.  

"no," i reply back,
my voice cracking
at the end, "not at all"

he looks at me with
such tender care and
says, "im sorry"

i carefully lift my head
and turn to look at him

his eyes are staring
back at mine with
so much intensity
that i am mesmerised.

and

as if i was under a spell,

i open my mouth and
utter the words that ive
kept hidden for so long,

"i love you"
Can't explain that feeling, when we got that knock at the door
It's like my whole world just stopped, as i sat there on the floor
Something was trying to prepare me for what was about to come
But it really didn't matter, I just instantaneously felt so numb.

I wanted to be strong and I knew I could put on a straight face
But if only I could let everyone see how hard it was not to just break
It was just one thing that I knew I could never replace
I would go to sleep at night wishing that it was all just a mistake

When I was in my car alone, I would always just cry
But never when people were around me and I never knew why
I guess at first I was just so **** mad
I would think How could my sister just leave me & why couldn't I see it was so bad

Then I took a step back and thought about the conversations we had
She would tell me I don't want to be here anymore
I remember telling her Everything will be OK, just don't be so sad
I never thought she would actually do it, so it was something I just ignored.

Never once had I thought I would ever lose my sister this way
And the pain still resonates within me today
I guess cause there was so much I still wanted to say
Like how much I love her and how I still think back to those days

We shared so much growing up together
And we always had each other's back
I didn't matter whether we were fighting with each other
we were sisters through thick and thin; white or black

So you see there is no gray area between us
For you will forever be the yin to my yang
So that brings to this point now to discuss;

How wonderful my big sister was to me
And she will forever be apart of me
Though she is gone, I will forever remember
All the days we just played and laughed together

Those memories so near and dear to my heart
will forever be etched deep inside like a scar
Even though I still feel this pain from being apart
I will always carry a part of you with me, no matter where we are.
This is for my big sister Brittanie Michelle Becerra.  On June 22nd 2012 I found out my sister took her life only 3- 4 hours after getting off the phone with me on June 20th 2012.
I just have to forgive her and understand she didn't do it to hurt me or really anyone in my family.
And i have to forgive myself for being so mad at myself for not doing more and feeling like there is something i could have possibly done to prevent this from happening.

Everything happens for a reason and though I may not know why
or never for that matter, I can't change what is
But i can always remember what was.
I love you and forgive you Brittanie.
Love ****** <3
