POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
In case you didn't know
I don't have all the answers and I probably never will.
My heart Is able to continue, when the memory of you is still.
It's getting harder too let go, when I said I never will.
You've been my greatest love, since I cannot remember when, but this does no good, for a battle I will never win.
Maybe it's my burden, that I just cannot let go.
I'll always love you that you should know. The world can spin whatever way, and that will never change.
My first love, your sweetheart, my Romeo.
Xoxo.

It will always be you.
It's alright I promise
I refuse to be the one to hold you back.
Build a family, love her, love them.
Maybe that is where you should be, maybe it's where you always should have been.
Hoping to watch you be happy and thrive to your fullest potential.
Not watching you get dragged down, and stomped on.
I've always wanted what's best for you, even if that's not me.
I won't be hurt, my actions have chose my life before me.
Sometimes things just are what they are. But, honestly I never liked her. She wasnt right for you. To tear a person down, to where...

Haven't felt your touch in months, but it feel like forever. It's always feels like something is missing, my thoughts starts to wander, and my heart starts to race. When will I get to see you face?
You make its seem like everything's alright, but I'm reality it's just another night. One without you here with me, with out you close.
The desolate aching manotony causes more pain as days go by. Your presence heals wounds, deeper than I could ever find.
Then life shows you that not all wounds will heal, and you will have to learn to love the scars.

When the destination seems so far away, does it make it unreachable? Does time seem to slowly make things more painful? How much pain can a soul bear? As the answers pile up in my mind, I lose myself in the memories. I smile because you think you're so different now... and then I laugh, because you're not. You wouldn't imagine the the things I think. Reality is lost, rules don't apply. I'll stop right there before I lose my mind. The pain sets in when I realize you're not here, or there, or quite frankly anywhere. More like a ghost that passes through my day. It feels so really in all sorts...

Keeper of the stars.
For some reason the stars aren't shining as bright tonight,
And I feel so far away from you.
Some nights the stars are the only way I can still picture you here.
The way we danced, to feel you holding me close, I go back to that night often.
The laughter, the dancing, the stars.
But the stars will never be you...

My weakness
Drop it all and run- that's probably what I should do.
This hurt has hurt for too long,
It's so exhausting trying to be strong.
We both have hurt, you think that's false?
I've lived a life that's had its faults.
I've had tragedy, and dispair, I've watched hope and life vanish into thin air.
You're not the only one hurting, and it may not seem fair.
Doesn't give someone the right to be an asshole, even if you do care.
I may just be another, for you to play head games with and that's certainly not fair.
You know where I wear my emotions, so as...

It was no accident
Shaky hand, butterflies, lost at heart, when I look into your eyes.
The years apart, the time gone by, managing to live separate lives.
The comfort to hear your voice, the smile in your laughter.
Dancing under the stars, planning a happily ever after.
Driving down some old back road, with intentions, no one should know.
Two souls fall in love, and their love starts to grow.
Like rain on the on hood of that old ford truck, this love was anything but luck.
Bending the rules, and running with the night, wishing time could have slowed.
Watching your...

Love child
Some would think the way I love you is appalling,
Others may call it sweet.
But no ones heard the so called reason of defeat.
When you left me I was young and scared.
You never got to hear the little heart beat in there.
She would've been beautiful, perfect, and had your curly hair.
I may not have ever knew you, but you were there, I'm sorry I didn't try harder to keep you there.
I could give you a name, but would we agree? Would it just make it harder for me?

Promises
Will it all make sense one day,
Will the clouds part, will the sun shine?
Will there be an answer that justifies the emptiness?
Will I ever be content?
Will I always want more?
Will I be ok to except the things I cannot change?
Will I be ok living this way?
I made a promise I need to keep...
But...
One day the clouds will part,
The emptiness will subside,
The things I cannot change will change themselves.
The want for more will be gone,
Or content will consume me.
Wherever this life takes me, whatever...
