Tonight, the sky feels lonely because
My Romance, has Flown Away.
Just like a Leaf........of a Tree.
That got blown, by the Wind Away.
Beneath the Moon and the Stars
My Heart, is Standing Alone.
Weeping it's Tears at Night,
for the Woman it had Loved & Known.
Like a Hand, that's warmed by a Glove.
My Heart was warm, with Her Love.
I Pray that someday, She returns
to Me.........to hold My Hands.
So the Moon and the Stars,
can perform to the Bands.
Until it leaves my spirit.
My soul, my body I'm gonna love you.
You're deserving of it.

You earned my attention through love and communication.

Until it leaves my heart.
You're the object of my affection.
Worthy of my protection.

A man is a sword, a shield of loyal protection.
Sworn to love his woman forever.

Until it slips away.
I am going to love you each and every day.
She's a star but stars are in the sky.
The skies were pitch
the deafening silence only filled
by the sound of violence
crickets chirping, blood spilled

The fireflies that used to be here are gone
Now they lie, down in the mud, torn
Now they've died, and the birds don't sing their song
No more of the soft tone that I used to know

The flowers didn't even grow
Covered and coveted in the snow
Lost in the gaze of this black hole
Stars lost their glow, as I watched from below

it's just a cut.
it's just a bruise.
"what's on your leg"
it's my new tattoo.

it's just a disguise.
it's just another lie.
"what's with all the sweatshirts"
it's just style, why?

it's just a tear.
it's just a scream.
"why are you crying"
it's just a bad dream.

but it's not just a bruise,
or a tear, or a lie.
it's always "just one more"
until you die.

hers smells like flowers
his smells like rain
baby soft
porcelain
pink
scared
bruised
tanned
so much is used
so much is needed
a 100 things to buy
to make it look perfect
to win people over
to make it to the top
to survive at work
to pay for the bills
for the next fix
too much exposure
that is a problem
rough night
find the right shade for cover up
covered up entirely?
Everyone wants to know why
By choice
Because of a trend
To be safe
No one is happy still
Airbrushed
Paint
Glitter
All aesthetically pleasing to the eye
Bare
when no one is watching
When there is nothing to suspect
No supervision
Suddenly stained
But no way to hide it
The stains stay
No one is spared

snowfall, gentle dance
unique crystals,
like faces and persons
the same but quite different.
There are words that do not need saying,
Words that are wrong or cruel,
Words that lead others to fail or cry,
Words that are sweet words of betraying,
Words that flatter or fool,
Words that weave a maze in the head,
Words that tell a talent not to try,
Many of these there are, although
There are also words that need to be said:
You are the best word that I know.
