To My Greatest Love
You will forever be my greatest love,
and my greatest heartbreak.
I never wanted to leave you—
or that crying boy,
alone.
How I wish I could’ve wiped
every tear from your youth,
if I were your mother,
I would’ve loved you endlessly.
We would’ve wandered through museums,
watched every art show,
and I would’ve read to you every night.
I would’ve taught you that beauty is in the beholder,
but even when we can’t see it,
it’s everywhere,
in everything,
and everyone—...
and my greatest heartbreak.

Confessions After the Fact Pt 1
I had a good man once... but,
I lost him in the battle of to save him,
From the darker parts of the light he held in his eyes,
The parts that twist and coil within me.
And Lord knows I tried,
Tried to patch up and piece together,
The fragments of my wild heart,
And silence the shadows that whisper in the dead of night,
The secrets I kept inside,
Secrets so dark I was intent on keeping them hidden,
Trapped in the silk of my silence....
I thought,
Yeah I thought that if I could just show him the light,
Only the...

Waiting
I sit on the platform, alone in the dust,
Where the wind whispers secrets, and the earth turns to rust.
I chose this place, far from the crowd,
A ghost of a dream, where hope’s still loud.
We spoke of a future, a place to call ours,
But now it’s just silence, beneath the cold stars.
I build on this land, so barren and dry,
Where the echoes of “us” are the only reply.
I turn to the road, where nothing appears,
Just the empty horizon stretching for years.
The silence stretches like a noose around me,
A soldier lost, or perhaps...

Mama, please don’t leave
Daddy is having a hard time.
He said he can’t look at me
He cries all the time

I just don’t understand this though

Obliteration Heartache
Obliteration heartache occurs
Nestled in the cocoon of your limber arms.
And ferocious creeping fingers.
Clouds obscure the moon.
Our time is soon.
You are quiet but ravenous.
My heartache was the lonely scavenger.
You sweetly stalk my night,
infiltrate my hidden chambers.
Blood stained with heartache's remains.
You obliterate the pain, the regret, the longing streaks of red blood.
Obliteration heartache occurs in the electricity that your eyes flood. .

Wishes and Dreams
Wishes and Dreams
We all have wishes and dreams and mine are of you
although there will not be a time when those wishes
and dreams will come true.
And so I name you a star in that heavenly night
but not the typical star one that is phenomenally bright
because that is how you are to me and though I will not share
this with you it is still how it shall be.
Wish.....Wish.....wish wishing upon a star.
So far away I wonder how you are.
Are you okay?
Are you happy?
I wish you these things.
I hope...

Treating Love Letters Like Junk Mail
She told the police on her boyfriend
They nailed him with a suitcase full of heroin
He was tried & sent to jail
She was paid in full, the money that she was promised for helping out
She moved into a nice apartment
After a while, she got some letters from him
He didn't know that she was the one that had set him up
His letters were full of declarations of eternal love
The only thing that kept him going was thinking of her each & every day he sat in his rotten, stinking cell
She laughed at the letters and threw them away
After a few...

Life Moves On III
The past will fade
As it always does
The pain, erased
As life moves on
Remember the time I got lost in your eyes
The world around us just faded away
I could never see past the deceitful lies
But what I would've gave to stay another day
The past will fade
As it always does
The pain, erased
As life moves on
Remember the time I got lost in your arms
That feeling of feeling like maybe you felt
Cuz when I was with you, felt like you'd do no harm
But conclusions forgone, you weren't the one

I hate surprises
Oh, don't give me
Alice's intentions
and a queen of hearts
attitude.
In Wonderland,
with a good smile,
even cats disappear.
In wonder
with a good

Cat's land smile.

Goodbye Dad
Goodbye Dad
I am heart broken
That I have lost you
So fast
I can't stop crying
Yes I could never believe
That you had to part so soon
But deep down
I could not stand to see you
Suffer every day
Battling you disease
I tried to make you
Comfortable
Also I had to be strong for you
And it is very hard to do
Yes you lost you battle
And at the same time
It was hard to see you leave
This earth
But at the same time
I must understand that
You are in a better place them me
You are living a new...

Through the Debris
I masked the hurt with anger and looked for revenge in the most spiteful way,
Not knowing that from that day forward everything would completely change,
And in some strange way I didn’t grasp the damage it would do to all of us,
You grew angrier and I somehow found my strength buried under all the rubble.
But first I had to dig through all the debris, the guilt, the everlasting shame,
Taking all the blame because it didn’t really matter who set it off at first,
Because your verse will always be different than mine, I know I did wrong,
But as long as I...
