always
all hope's roses died
dried & withered
each petal fell to the ground
washed away in a torrent of sorrow
my tears frozen in place
salty reminders
of a woman time forgot
left behind in the wrinkled bed sheets
of yesterday's passion
blurred on your periphery
a character cast in a play
of the dull day to day
& slowly i fade
into the background
where you lost me
little pieces of my beauty
you kept to remember
how it once was
until those were all that was left
you looked at me
like you didn't recognize me
because i no longer resembled
the bits you kept
weep for us my heart
for we have fallen asleep
inside of our love
& there is no tomorrow
so i cried like a child
long & hard
for a love that died
murdered by circumstance
& buried in the laundry
i know we still exist somewhere
another time
& place maybe
when life didn't take so much from us
with two halves
so desperately trying to make a whole
just know i'll always love you

The price for squandering
the value of time spent.
Such pain ebbing in your words.
Wishing you peace, sweet Brenda.

Very sad write , its intense , its crazy how someone can feel the same , its also frustrating how people come to there decisions, usually its to run , fight or flight , when things get hard , or there to absorb in there own shit to be there for others who are ride to die for them but just can't see it

My beautiful Dark Angel, you have a knack for putting your finger right on the pulse of the pain and your bring it front and center to be seen from a completely different perspective. The love that doesn't die but is dragged apart by circumstances...those are the agonizing ones. They linger in us. I do so love you
...ever your Willow

"Pruning shears:remove the dead and diseased"
All the strangers smiled
as gunshot victims fell
immersed in bullets
of blinding banter hearts
yearning for the thirst of life
lingering as lightening bugs do
we returned to the quiet snowfalling
on streets absent of populace
perpetrator in the mornings light
blacks sheets saturated in silence
we sank into the background
stand ins for a family made of grey
we turn a blind eye yet again
disintegrate these damsles in distress
from broken balcony sets
breaking light through yonder window
the fight slipped from her fingers finally
in a shoebox
under the bed we kept the flame alive until now
smoulder
comfortable familiar strangers
roommates that we tolerated
not Loved
we turned to ash
empty
hiroshima bombed buildings
we cared too hard but lost our way
in doorframes kicked up heels
liquor cabinet
T.V. dinner thrills
glass chandeliers crashed to the floors
with our self tied noose
tumbling
all the kings horses and all the kings men
came
but what about the Queen?
by large stone water fountains lit
wading feet
sling high heels
white searchlights in the night
you were the church i was the steeple
now you're the burglar who pawned the crucifix
on which we were so happily nailed together
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
i'll sure miss Poetry one day
until then we shall dawn our best words as slacks and dresses
ties and pearls
parade around playing dress up like we know what we're doing
but at the end of the day we'll choose to forget that we're at someone elses house
and we have to leave at supper time.
you never fail to inspire Crim.
thank you for being a Poet and a Friend.
