When Hearts Get Broke
Heartbroken
I see you in a different light,
Looking back at the road after these years,
I don’t know if I should stay and fight,
Especially because I see all your tears.
You’re crying a river about to go over the
l
w
r
t a s
e
a l
f
But I just don’t know what to think,
I'd prepared for the worst and now it’s my call…
And yet I’m more afraid to take to drink.
I know what I feel for you is still real,
I’m really hurt, disappointed and jaded,
I’m too fucking old this kind of ordeal,
In a way I feel sorry too but mostly degraded.
There’s no sense in wailing - what’s the use?
It’s just that my heart now is in a different place,
All my poetry is hung up on a tree in a noose,
Tainted forever whenever I see your face.

Where There's a Will There's a Way
Until the sun rises in the north and sets in the south
I will
Until the pounding of my hearts final beat
I will
Until my lungs can no longer grasp The breath passing in my last gasp The exhaling with out failing like a whisper
Will find her and kiss her
And even then
Still I will
All day long and every endless night From dark to dark my home is in her heart even seasons pass away
Until my dying day as this feeling never fades
I will
I will always
I will always love her
I'd kill for the one I love
I'd be killed for the one I love
I'd take a bullet to the head for the one I love
From the one I love
Because at the end of the day
No matter how hard I try to convince myself
Why
Why I shouldn't I just can't
And I still love her anyway
When I pass away my last thought will be of her
Even now I can picture her smiling face
My love for her will forever remain as so will she remain in my heart on my mind and inside my spirit as so long as I live
Where you find your treasure
There your heart will be also
Her riches are far beyond measure
My soulmate at first sight how do I let go
Even when I'm gone my love for her Will reside in the thought's and mind's of the little one's
The blood of her blood will never forget
As long as they live when they look back
In remembrance my love will still live on
As long as the memories remain
She loves me
She loves me not
She loved me
She loved me lots
I know she loved me
She just forgot
The things we do for love
Oh how I love thee may I count thy many ways
The right way and the wrong
Not the short haul but the long the safeway from the front way Now the hard way taking the long way
In my own way from the way back
The sideways and across the way Now underway
Out of the way
Never could I unlove thee
No way Jose
Because I'll find a way
Now her say her no love me no more Well him still loves her some more and by the way
Him loves her always anyways
God is love and love is the way and is the only way
Love is something that is never to be lost
But rather it's something only to be found
When we find it we find it finding us Because those of us without it
Are the ones truly lost
Love let's nothing get in the way Love doesn't go half way
It goes all the way all of the way
Aways and will always find a way
Love hurt's Love is sacrifice Love is doing with out so that another doesn't have to
If there's a WE'LL
Well there's a way
I love you sweetheart
I will
Until the pounding of my hearts final beat
I will
Until my lungs can no longer grasp The breath passing in my last gasp The exhaling with out failing like a whisper
Will find her and kiss her
And even then
Still I will
All day long and every endless night From dark to dark my home is in her heart even seasons pass away
Until my dying day as this feeling never fades
I will
I will always
I will always love her
I'd kill for the one I love
I'd be killed for the one I love
I'd take a bullet to the head for the one I love
From the one I love
Because at the end of the day
No matter how hard I try to convince myself
Why
Why I shouldn't I just can't
And I still love her anyway
When I pass away my last thought will be of her
Even now I can picture her smiling face
My love for her will forever remain as so will she remain in my heart on my mind and inside my spirit as so long as I live
Where you find your treasure
There your heart will be also
Her riches are far beyond measure
My soulmate at first sight how do I let go
Even when I'm gone my love for her Will reside in the thought's and mind's of the little one's
The blood of her blood will never forget
As long as they live when they look back
In remembrance my love will still live on
As long as the memories remain
She loves me

If there's a WE'LL
Well there's a way
I love you sweetheart

An air of angst and ease— recycled
It's easy to breath
when you are gone
The air is crisp and clear
away, is the color
of emerald darkness
and unenviable congestion
Sunshine is at it's apex
perhaps in unspoken solidarity
truth is boldly placed
into the hands
of the wearied righteous
Feather-like,
is this air
It feels lighter
when you are gone
Sweet circulations
gusts, of those not yet born tomorrows
cooling wisps
blowing newfound freedom
inspire a midas hope
to adorn every sense
a golden sheen, glistening
upon every wind-kissed swirl
Poignantly sieving
all that was supposed
but never
was
and never
will
be.
Natural pressure ebbs
allowing lungs to expand
of leary recollection,
dreamscapes untouched, preserved
is how I feel that heartfelt, breathes
cleansing and superbly virile
this air
will truly be
effortless
when you stay gone
and when my soulful filtering
of
never missing you
scrubs
it all away
to.
breathe.
every.
relieved.
breath.
clean.

In bed with the devil
In bed with the devil:
The devil will fuck up the whole schedule. He grips people’s souls and twists them at every level. Like a plague they pass on their pain at a rate that’s truly incredible. Hurt people hurt people, so Lord please help me let her go.
These people pretend to be something their not. They give in to temptation, no matter how many souls that they rot. Making promises of the future but can’t even truly see what they got. Thanks for lighting the fire under my ass, I’m back on the path to glory, I’m hot.
The devil won’t get in. I have a lot of demons but they don’t compare to your sin. You’re sick twisted and wicked but I hope God heals you in the end. See this poem isn’t a hate message, it’s a plea to see you win.
It’s a plea to see you wake up. Stop worrying about your make up or the color of your hair. Change your heart and not your appearance and you’ll be fully aware. Awareness of the self can lead to better affairs. However, awareness without change can lead to disaster, so please be aware. Up at 4 am, not out of hate, it’s out of care. I’m actually feeling no emotions because everything’s clear.
You told me you would ruin me but I chose to see your light. Yeah it was always dim but I pictured a day when it would burn bright. I wanted you to win. I felt as true happiness was in sight. So I guess I did it to myself, this shit isn’t right.
See I’m a fucking helper, this is what I do. Busted my ass for a degree in psych. Sociology too. Working with autistic children makes me feel as if I’ve finally grew. Halfway to a masters in counseling, who would’ve knew. Helper’s can’t help but help, whether it’s a lot or a few. I finally see now that I cannot help you. IM THROUGH!!!!

Diamonds
What creates a troubled soul?
An unachieved goal
He had his heart stole
By a girl he gave his all
Had a ball, at the start
But like graphite flaked part by part
The soft fabrics of his heart
Got easily torn apart
From a state of bliss
travelled to a dark abyss
Route One is this
A Judas Kiss
She didn't want to be idle
So threw him in a spiral
A raffle with rivals
It's a vicious cycle
Reduce, Re-use, Recycle
"Because All men are trash"
That's what you conclude
But you have no clue
About the diamond next to you
The story behind every jerk
Is a world of hurt
A person who didn't see his worth
A woman who put him in the dirt
Below the Earth
He became a mess
Over his pain he would obsess
Deeper down, meteoric depress
Held under duress, extreme in measure
725 000 pounds of pressure
Per square inch of his chest
Would daily compress
2200 degrees Fahrenheit
Baked his emotions dry
He became dead inside
As his heart crystalized
He became untameable
He became unbreakable
Almost inflameable
His new resolve unshakable
He has recovered
So Rises up to be discovered
And many try to uncover
They come one after the other
But It's a means to an end
Romantic attachment he won't extend
He can't even pretend
After all a Diamond is a girl's bestfriend
Doesn't want any of them as his lover
They are all synthetic, have tainted color
See Only a diamond can alter another
He wants a troubled soul for a lover
He is a Diamond in the rough
A diamond that is uncut
With a shine caked with dust
Simply not polished enough
Another diamond
Knows what it's like to be hurt
Buried deep below the earth
So will Brush off all the dirt
And see his real worth
Together
they will shape each other anew
Putting past pain in rear view
Polish all their surfaces true
See each other's true value
Never on their own
A pair of precious stones
That withstood the heat,
That withstood the pressure
That formed an unshakable bond,
As they discovered treasure
Beyond measure

By The Ink of My Skin
I walk the stairs
to the parlor
sitting down
I recline
close my eyes
hear the sound
special wavelengths
magnetize
and dissolve
fading pigment
on my finger
where a promise
was once made
one year later
after the hatred
I grieve for you
confused
while I remove
this tattooed
wedding ring
familiar sting
effort made
only in vain
lessons learned
the laser snaps
another pang
but this time
it’s my heart
that cries your name
this weight
is unexpected
no regrets
know why I left
but still...
I cared for you
I loved you
so as the bruise
begins to fade
I choose to keep
my memories
of our love
just the same
you will remain
chromophore
in my veins
a stain
that I can taste
a waste
of bloodletting
