Death of a Heart
Death of a Heart
Here’s the thing, it bothers me that we aren’t friends anymore. The promises you made that you never want to lose me don’t matter anymore
We don’t talk as much as we used to or hang out if at all
Furthermore
I notice us not noticing each other as we walk in the same direction, what used to be a beautiful spring lily is now a Venus fly trap and what was once there is nomore, consumed by pride and ego but I guess some way or another we both had to grow up you know
Funny thing about growing up though
We stack more piles of days every day, more months...

Her life is not real
How can it? When her heart does not feel.
She suffocates her dreams and nurses her fears,
Plastic smiles while holding back her tears.
3 inch nails, brazilian hair, bleached skin and a butterfly tattoo,
6 inch heels, and pretends she doesnt care, doing so many things she
doesnt want to.
She doesnt want an intervention, she claims she can change as easy as one
two ...
Four? Three? Seven? She cant get it right as hard as she might try to.
Pictures on instagram, filters on all
Tweets about everything from bathing to a quick jog to...

Bag Of Dreams
Bag of Dreams
I put my hand in my bag
Out I take a young man clad in black
Dark suit, brown shoes, no tattoes, unsullied in the sunshine
Chauffeured off in a one of its kind, limo version of the then modern day equivalent of the Aston DB9
He arrives at his destination to a hoard of journalists,
Security personnel try to clear them off but he insists
On making a press statement
Right there on the pavement
And tells them all his wife is having a baby
Just before it all got hazy
A boy or a girl maybe.
I thrust my hand down further
Into this...

I'll be gone
One of these days the sun wont shine,
The birds wont sing and the rivers will stop flowing.
It will not rain, and nothing will grow.
The stars shall fade away and the moon will fall right out of the sky.
Days wont go by as meaningless pages fall from the Calendar on your bedroom wall, time will stand still and the world will stop spinning.
At that moment you will think about all I've said, you will remember the life that I lived and the goals I neved reached, you will miss me and wish I were there but I will never come back.
I will already be gone.
The birds wont sing and the rivers will stop flowing.
It will not rain, and nothing will grow.
The stars shall fade away and the moon will fall right out of the sky.
Days wont go by as meaningless pages fall from the Calendar on your bedroom wall, time will stand still and the world will stop spinning.
At that moment you will think about all I've said, you will remember the life that I lived and the goals I neved reached, you will miss me and wish I were there but I will never come back.
I will already be gone.

Her
This us that we have has seen not one obstacle but plenty,
Along a ride that has been bumpy and rough.
Through thick and thin we've always thought we can make it,
Walk the walk and talk the talk though its tough.
I've been with a lot of people but none quite like you,
Never have I met a person I'm so afraid to lose
like the way I'm afraid to lose you,
If it ever happened I dont think I could ever pull through,
To be able to live and breathe in a world without you.
When we first met I had no idea,
That the nerdy looking girl I sat...
Along a ride that has been bumpy and rough.
Through thick and thin we've always thought we can make it,
Walk the walk and talk the talk though its tough.
I've been with a lot of people but none quite like you,
Never have I met a person I'm so afraid to lose
like the way I'm afraid to lose you,
If it ever happened I dont think I could ever pull through,
To be able to live and breathe in a world without you.

Another Guy
I wasted a lot of time
When I could have made you mine.
I knew right from the start
that I'd always have your heart,
but I took you for granted
and used your love to get the things that I wanted.
Now I'm just sitting here alone writing this poem,
no need to rehearse the words I just know 'em.
And you are there in his arms,
helplessly lost in his eyes.
How you respond to his touch and to his charm
breaks my heart and I try so hard not to cry.
I finally admit though it took me while,
I've lost you to another guy.
Although he could never...

SOULMATE
Hhm Soulmate?
I guess, you're just spectacular,
I don't know what it is or how it came to be but you're my dear soulmate.
I suppose we had an instant attraction that took a while to express,
Thousands of feelings that we desperately tried to suppress.
But I suppose things just have a way of working themselves out,
Removed everything that stopped us from finding out,
the good bad truth
we are soulmates.
I'm attracted to you,
and like a bug i just fly conscious-less towards the light,
I just cant resist, I can barely put up a fight.
You...

Before Sleep
Every night when I get to bed
after I've thought about everything I've said
after I regret every bad decision I've made
and after I've relived all the great moments I've had
But just before I close my eyes in slumber,
and enjoy the warmth of the blankets I sleep under,
Away from the worlds rumbling and thunder,
In my place of no worry and wonder.
It always happens in the comfort of my bed,
thoughts of you rush to my head.
Your smile, your beautiful smile,
I pause and think about that for a while.
You smile with your cheeks eyes and lips,
If...

When you're not around
Its a dark day when you're not around,
The skys are gloomy and even the monkeys don't make a sound.
A cloud of melancholy overshadows me,
a thick fog of laughter that i cant join into surrounds me,
a lonely lonely hell to which i'm bound.
A pair of doves fly in the grey sky, and land on a tree branch nearby.
A man below rides his bicycle, the front wheel pulling and the rear wheel pushing.
I wonder if it only had one wheel would the bike be worth using?
Still paused in possibly perennial ponder the sun was beginning to set,

Every day I see more young people dying,
Every day I hear of more doctors trying,
To use what they have
To try and save,
at least one every day from passing.
It is bad driving?
Or is it over thriving?
Excessive drinking? Or thoughtless risking?
Nobody knows what it really is,
But all combined it becomes one deadly disease
Robbing the world of its loved ones with ease,
Leaving none but the old question and quiz.
To ask what they've been doing wrong,
So wrong to anger the creator,
Isn’t this what they've been doing all along?
But then...
