Promises
Ah the shivered promises you made
to me
before we, arm locked slumbered
in my bed,
of forevered bliss,
though broken and betrayed
so long ago
still ring within my ears
like church bells in the mist
still sing a siren song
that I must stop my ears against
if I am not to drown
in longing and in
dark’ning memory.

Letter to the man who treated me like an option
Letter to the man who treated me like an option
Hey there handsome,
Remember how you treated me like an option? How you made me feel like a backup plan, never fully committing?
Let me make it simple for you, since you're
Emotionaly immature. I am leaving you like a choice because I'm tired of not knowing where I stand with you.
Your hot and cold behavior is exhausting.
I deserve much better than to be treated like a maybe. I am worthy of someone who chooses me everyday, with assurance and reassurance.
In all honesty, you...

The Perfect illusion
Some betrayal can never be forgotten as they become, more of a mental burden to the mind and heart. For sure it in it's self is a reminder of the betrayal and deception, that some people's who commit this kind of heinous act of betrayal. Don't think about the very deepness of the feelings, and how far they will go deeper than deep, till they become dangerous thoughts of murder and revenge. For no matter how we look at it, it's still is called cheating with deception hiding behind the lies of a mask as a disguise. For the relationship been over so be the kind of man or woman, that you claim to...

Before the 12th ( Tomorrow, Resting Period ) Epilogue
I thought, I would try to give a bit of explanation
as to my considerable situation
I'm a man, broken, shamed, filled with blame
Can't claim I'm anything proclaimed to become
I feel so weak, so bleak, a fragile brittle antique
Full of regrets, always upset, things I wish to forget
Can't believe, I'm 45, still alive, how did I survive?
Drowning, in alcohol, baring this agonized tormented soul
What I would do, to start again, but nothing I can really do.
I want to survive, but child in me died, long time now realized.....
Every-time...

two truths, one lie
Tell me a secret
make it a lie
you know I'll still love you
when it all falls apart
You linger in my veins
like the last high never faded
never mind that I'm so low, so low
you're the breath I never asked for
keeping me alive
when I'd rather be painting daisies
from the other side
Tell me a secret
make it a lie
sharpen the knife
then twist it
as you slide it in slow
make me believe
you can stop anytime you like
while I plead
is it over...
make it a lie
you know I'll still love you

Would This Dress Do It?
Would this dress do it?
Trust me, Linda. Peter will be hung.
It's just he's married now.
Yes. To Adrienne. Who stole him away.
Thanks so much for reminding me, Jennifer.

I know I'm doing this wrong, but I can't stop
You look at me like I'm heartbreak
like you're waiting for me to move that
extra inch and break your ribcage open
on my way out the door
And I won't lie
sometimes I think of running
in the same way I always think of running
because there isn't a love that
has flooded my veins
that I haven't wanted to escape
and there isn't a love I've run from
that I could bleed out of my soul
Love haunts me more than hate
more than anger
more than fear
If it's possible to die from a feeling
I would...

Whispers of Her
My heart beats for two—she who was bruised,
and I who’s going along with time,
blinking the seconds away with no regard
to the broken figure far back in the past.
How cruel I have grown to betray her,
I, whom she trusts the most.
Muscling through the storms with a smile
on my lips, mouthing I am alright.
How can I be when she’s stuck in the dark
on her own, waiting for me to face her.
How can I when I’m so eager to feel the light,
as if the pain wasn’t as agonizing as she cried from.
Just how heartless I have...

if I tell you I'm selfish, will you leave me alone?
Come on over
wrap me up in your expectations
and then blame me
for your disappointment
when I inevitably fail
You watch me walk
trip and fall
you watch me crawl
scrabble at the walls
try and pull myself up
but you never
ever offer to help me up
I carry myself alone
while you stand over me
with tough love
that's less empathy
and more indifference
than I think you realize
I'm not looking for a saviour
I just need you to love me
through the darkness

Guilty bitterness
I'm supposed to be angry with you
At least that's what everyone says
Maybe i hold you in a light
Whilst sulking in the dark
How can I be angry
When it was my mistake?
I'm supposed to be angry for me
Constantly being reminded
That what you declared was cruel
But i can't help the pedestal
That i hold for you in spite
Of what you said
I make excuses for you
Create poems and art of you
Understanding why you spoke
Those ruthless words of fault
And accept the blame
With my...

Your Silence
Today, like any other day, I'm running around in circles, thinking of you.
I'm hesitant to verbalise it out loud, fearing what others might say or do.
It makes no sense, I know, to yearn for someone long gone.
You vanished without saying a word, leaving me with just this empty dawn.
You took a piece of me, the part that loved you best,
The part that cherished every moment, every laugh, every rest.
I've tried to fill the void, but nothing seems to fit.
The ache within me grows, a constant gnawing pit.
Your silence is a heavy chain, that...

Dreams in Wind
The wind blew all my reasons why,
why I stay through all that dies,
in hope and love and happiness,
blow through trees of my unrest.
Trees stark white with naked limbs,
bending towards my dreams in wind,
wind that holds the northern shades,
of all my dreams that never fade.
I wish that we could see them leave
my outstretched hands of what I need.
Maybe then you’d shed a tear
and light the fuse to all you fear.
But love just doesn’t seem to care,
to crush the dreams of my despair.
The ones I push with...
why I stay through all that dies,
in hope and love and happiness,
blow through trees of my unrest.
Trees stark white with naked limbs,
bending towards my dreams in wind,
wind that holds the northern shades,
of all my dreams that never fade.
I wish that we could see them leave
my outstretched hands of what I need.
Maybe then you’d shed a tear
and light the fuse to all you fear.
But love just doesn’t seem to care,
to crush the dreams of my despair.
The ones I push with...
