Heart to heart
Those little hurts that keep us pushed apart –
it isn’t you that triggers that emotion:
a family heirloom, passed from heart to heart.
The loaded words and silences that smart,
perceived rejection causing such commotion --
old memories that keep us pushed apart.
The monster feelings soaring off the chart,
pulling us deeper in a cold, dark ocean --
an ancient trauma, passed from heart to heart.
When little things make reasoning depart
and distrust spreads through veins like poison potion, ...

Bye Best Friend
I didn’t think I’d see you again
Not until tomorrow
But here you are, you came so far
Yet all I have is sorrow
I told you that I needed you
I had something to say
I set the date, you couldn’t wait
You showed up anyway
I didn’t want to hurt you
You hugged me and I cried
You told me you’d be here for me
And then I said goodbye
I hope I didn’t break your heart
I really had to go
We promised not to fall in love
And you’re not mine I know
We’ve been best friends forever
Ever since we...

You hugged me and I cried
You told me you’d be here for me
And then I said goodbye
I hope I didn’t break your heart
I really had to go
We promised not to fall in love
And you’re not mine I know
We’ve been best friends forever
Ever since we...

Night has fallen,
I wait for sound.
I hear just the ocean,
These sounds surround.
The waves of feeling Crash all around.
My problem,
Lies in the deep.
-
exploitation is, Where emotion lives
Make them do.
Make them say.
No thoughts engage.
Don't let it slip out.
If you run hard,
If you run far,
I could say all is well and feel like you are on my side.
Don't let it slip out,
Just trust me I know.

I make no sound.
My fear's an ocean-
Of unreal per-portions, ...

a gift
do not
bring
yourself as
a gift
to me,
give me
the chance
to
unwrap you,
then take
it back.

You do not Have to worry
You do not have to worry
About me any more
You have no idea of what you're writing
When you're adding up the score
You have no idea of who I am
And care so even less
I am more than over you
And have nothing to confess
You don't own the English language
None of the words are now your own
If you treat others, as you have me
You will find youself alone
This is all the time, I'll waste on you
I'm surprised I went this far
I will not mention any names
I know, you know, just who you are
About me any more
You have no idea of what you're writing
When you're adding up the score
You have no idea of who I am
And care so even less
I am more than over you

This is all the time, I'll waste on you
I'm surprised I went this far
I will not mention any names
I know, you know, just who you are

And I didn't have to hurt you,
But you said not to move,
The fleeing it fails me, Confront and impale me, It's true.
I'm bleeding.
Waking up and breathing but you don't care, short tempered and seething when its not fair.
Living and feeling and being aware.
Sometimes life will throw you a curve and just in spite of it you will learn to preserve, All the things you love,
Like to live and thrive,
But there is no place to hide
Or get away from this.
My mind needs a crutch,
No room for your shoves,
Said something about love,
Blind...

Karma
I’m not who I once was
At least it seems that way
Is it a good thing or a bad?
I simply cannot say
My soul forever shattered
My mind completely broken
My body lies just like your eyes
And all the words you’ve spoken
My smile disappeared
My laughter is now silent
All of my heart, broken apart
Your toxic love so violent
They say true love is painful
And some people may regret it
All the good times, when you were mine
I never will forget them
I wouldn’t change a thing now
Looking back...

(My very own) Personal Hell
Morning began as any other,
straightening up my small room,
followed by
a marlboro red 100, skillet hash,
coffee.
Cherries and Berries
in my window
while simultaneously a youth and future squandered
pool at my feet
to the tune of cacophonous
wailing sirens.
"Sean Pokorney? Sean Pokorney? Sean..."
They
always told me I was built to race the clock
—trouble
is,
The clock got something of a head start.
I awake the next morn.

Warriors of a Past Love
Sometimes I wonder,
Will the past forever haunt me?
I won the war.
But there were battles I lost.
Soldiers that died,
& cries that can never go unheard.
I’m now left with scars that can be seen a mile away.
Yet, I still stand victorious.
You betrayed our alliance,
& the punishment for treason is death.
Didn’t you know this would be the outcome?
I would be a fool to think otherwise.
So I won’t back down.
You wanted war?
Then war it shall be.
You wanted death?
So die you shall.
Rest in peace to what...

Unloved child
There's a point in time
when ticking dies
and all that's left
is the slow exhaled breath
pregnant with with unspoken thoughts
unwillingly giving birth
to words no one could love
raping the mind
with jealousy and anger
a bastard child born in darkness
a cold, hard demon
from logic's womb
bald of empathy and understanding
crying naked
in a world without love
how could we care
for this offspring of selfish desires
better to place a condom on our tongues
than bring an unloved child ...

Now I Know They Mistook Me For Someone Else
Jessica
opened her eyes and saw
that she had somehow been placed inside
a bedroom that belonged to someone else before
the door opened and a woman said
"Good morning, Robin... and
welcome home."
