She was one of the greats.
Not quite a year has passed since I seen your smile and heard your sweet sweet voice. You were a saint of a woman and the world is a better place because you were here. I miss you dearly and wish I'd have known it was almost time. I love you grandma. Hopefully you helped heaven redefine the word angel. Cause you definitely lived through hell while you were here.

What ya think?
Please come in and have a seat this isn't the first time I've seen you here. Don't mind the noise or chaos it's pretty constant. It's sad to say but you start to count on the noise as a part of your everyday life. The chaos depends on the day or the remembered events. What are you searching for when you are here? Memories? Sanity? I'm sorry to say but this place is dark and never makes much sense.
Exhaustion is going to get the best of me while I'm trying to hold on to what youth I still have. This circus gets a little scary sometimes like wasn't I here already? Our circuses may...

It's never been a game.
Only glimpses of the optimism shine through the darkness of who I've become. Hurt and pain shouldn't be factors for the love that we claim. I'm angry most days and sad most others. Yes, we all hurt and go through hard times. Sorry that I'm an asshole now and I don't smile like I used to. Be careful acussing me of playing head games or any other. I've seen my picture with you not in it. That's why I try so hard for what we do have. Words don't seem like much but, your words sweetheart carry weight. I guess if this is a game just tell me the rules and I'll gladly play along. Until then make...

To the boy who doesn't know...
Don't follow my lead son, take a smoother road. Look past those demons and don't follow the siren song. That road leads to mans ruin and claims even the strongest of men. Don't hold back son by no means, but be prepared for the anguish of what life might do. The demons get more and more beautiful as the days go by, and the sirens songs get sweeter and sweeter. Only take what you can handle because you create the road you travel. Learn to let go of what was and shape what will be. Son you'll go far with your innocence and your smile but, learn to impress with what you know. Take them out with...

Pleasure and pain
I don't feel much anymore other than pain and pleasure. The pain that I hide is like a monster that lurks in my consciousness. Pain will let you know who you are. It doesn't take long to dig and tear at the memories you do have. Nothing will make this pain go away.
Pleasure comes in many forms for guys like me. I look for what I think will be pleasureful. Whether it be the touch of a beautiful woman or a sunset painted just for me to enjoy.
What do we do when the pleasures that we once had always turned to pain? Is the risk worth the reward? Or do we just stop looking...

Your mind
Am I what I say I am or do you see a different me? Do my eyes hide the pain of the days gone by? Will I ever know what it's like to love freely with no fear? My fear is strange to me sometimes. It comes from things I don't understand anymore or have always been ignorant too. Is your me a good man? Does he know what you want? Do you trust his eyes and his intentions? I can only hope that I'm a wonderful person in your mind.

Our love was one of a kind
My love for you increased with every word that escaped your lips. You had a beauty about you that I didn't understand. Your smile was encouraging even in the hardest of times. Your eyes cut through me to the deepest parts before I even knew.
With your love burned into my memory I struggle. The struggle is constant and never ending. I see you, I think, around town.
I'll never forget the things you taught me. As I make my way back to reality the tears start to fall for the love that I'll never feel again..

The way I see it
Maintaining composure gets harder by the day. In reality though why should we maintain a calm demeanor when we feel so unpeaceful? As people we should be more understanding of the heartache each carries.
Why is our first reaction in dealing with people to lie? Do we mask our feelings because we don't want to seem sensitive? We are to tough to look weak. The world is to tough. Every person alive struggles sometime. It isn't just your or my personal problem that we can pretend doesn't exist.

Little by little they'll fall to the wayside
Constant change is faulting my step as I make my way through this life you have no idea about. This isn't a cry for help or something to that nature. In my life I've just had to many mature ones.
Patience is the key to life and happiness. If only the siren songs could play forever and the hurt never showed up. It's a losing battle to fight this life in every way.
If you lose control of the tempo you have to fight! The things I say mean nothing as they fall on deaf ears of juvenile children such as you fine young men. What they don't say is all the contact is going to...

Give it a try... plz..
Sitting here staring at the blinking letter maker waiting for words to flow from my brain hoping you can't see the way I hide from everyone who knows me quick bursts of inspiration make their way through to the thoughts becomes actions then are to much responsibility to handle for the things you gain when you forget to choose carefully when you stand up it may feel different or euphoric which will create a sensation where addiction is all you have left to let consume your self for the rest of "this" life what other one do you think that we get their is no practice here for these tests or...

I'm not titling this one.
Peering into the distance looking for comfort in places we should already feel this way.. So what you don't feel love. Anxiety takes over and people we love become enemies after us in our own struggle to keep the rage inside. So what you get mad. Staring into faces of family and hoping that the answers come to you or they look away before we both become uncomfortable. So what you don't trust.

Complication
Where do we start when asked,
what's wrong?
Do we only scratch the surface for
the askers sake?
Is the truth permitted in these situations?
For me the answer is complicated
It's never just one thing
It's the hundreds that haunt my mind
Ghost of the past that won't let me be
Avoiding questions for whose sake,
I don't know anymore
Does she love me, or is she just a whore?
Maybe I've made her this way
Echoes of laughter and cries make up the white noise in my mind
It's a dangerous edge that I walk sometimes..
