Never Was
Why can’t we be friends anymore
Do you believe this is the best
Why can't I let this rest
We were close, but not now
You chose
Did you choose right?
I can't fight
for something that I already lost
I should have known better.
These types of friendships
Never last
Never understood that
I’m just not meant for that
Can’t cry tears that dried
Like a dead well with no water inside
Did I see something that never was
Hoping that this will work just because
I’m done
You won
no need to hit pause ...
Do you believe this is the best

sleep
i can't sleep,
i can't sleep at all
after he left,
i changed the place
but i can't sleep,
i changed the bed sheet
but i can't sleep,
i changed the pillow but
i can't sleep,
n now i have stopped sleeping,
and i can't sleep...
n i realized on a night
there was
NO SLEEP
in the bed,
ONLY BECAUSE,,,
i was in his embrace,
N that's why I was able to sleep,
it was the warm scent of his body
that mesmerized me
and that's why i was able to sleep,
sleep was not hidden anywhere, ...
i can't sleep at all
after he left,
i changed the place
but i can't sleep,
i changed the bed sheet
but i can't sleep,
i changed the pillow but
i can't sleep,
n now i have stopped sleeping,
and i can't sleep...
n i realized on a night
there was
NO SLEEP
in the bed,
ONLY BECAUSE,,,
i was in his embrace,
N that's why I was able to sleep,
it was the warm scent of his body
that mesmerized me
and that's why i was able to sleep,

journey journal...
these pages mark the passing of my life
the lessons & leanings
what I learn about myself
my sanctuary
where I tattoo all my pain in a flood of ink
in this ever growing volume of me
safe to express
without seeing judgment in...
...or rolling of...
...the witnessing eyes
& I wonder sometimes
what will become of these fragile chapters
my thoughts...my aches...my dreams...
when they're all that's left of me
will they read them & finally comprehend
who I really am
or would it be best...
...to simply...

Watching The Fire
Getting it started was so easy
with a will of its own
(the way of nature and things)
We brought the kindling
and thus, we had fire
Keeping it going was no problem
So energetic, we sweated
yet tirelessly fed its hunger
Feeding the flames its constant needs
Because of what it gave us;
Making love in the still of night
and watching the fire
in the reflection of our crystal eyes
~
For all of our toils
we now had a house
to protect our fire
from its very mother ...

Don't Take It Personal
Looking at him you would never know
What lies behind the smile
How his thoughts would roam
Of all the things that he did wrong
In spectacular style
He looks at himself in the mirror
While his life goes on
All the girls are lined up
to give him that dance
To their favorite song
He doesn't wanna tell you
Why should he
You're not the one he wants
The one he wants is gone
For the night, you’ll be the one he needs
Don't take it personal
He's not here for you
He's looking for that girl he lost ...
What lies behind the smile

sadness
within the shadows of the day
contemplating myself and how I relate
with difficulties in relationships
I hold myself accountable
when people hurt my feelings I'm not just mean, I'm vicious
it hurts me later on
there is no taking it back
my anger is dreaded
my Father corrects me
asking me how i want to be
my answer is I don't want to hurt those I love
confessions of the heart
it is distressing how I sometimes behave
depression is setting in, so often I take things personal
my soul should know better ...

The House Bleeds Pain
The house bleeds pain.
Anger seeps into the hollow walls.
Abusive words come like squalls.
Resentment runs down the deadened halls.
Sadness is like a perpetual silent scream.
Nightmares are the only dreams.
The horror is exactly how it seems.
The inhabitants here are in high degrees of pain.
Teardrops the ingredients of an invisible rain.
Stay too long, you will begin to hatch insane.
Despair stains upon the dusty floors.
Who, how, what, why - Did someone die
in a murderous cry?
The house that bleeds pain is steeped in...
Anger seeps into the hollow walls.
Abusive words come like squalls.
Resentment runs down the deadened halls.
Sadness is like a perpetual silent scream.
Nightmares are the only dreams.
The horror is exactly how it seems.
The inhabitants here are in high degrees of pain.
Teardrops the ingredients of an invisible rain.
Stay too long, you will begin to hatch insane.
Despair stains upon the dusty floors.
Who, how, what, why - Did someone die
in a murderous cry?
The house that bleeds pain is steeped in...

Everything is just the same
Time flies by, so rather quick
Everyday repeats itself, week after week
Relentless agony, when nothing awaits
Maybe one day life will smile at you
Stuck in the middle without progression
Only you can guide yourself out of there
You can create another world, all in your mind
In solitude you will find
in your head everything is better than you'll ever be
Life is seldom fair
It leads you to despair
After every uphill
You will descend
You can hide from your fears
to avoid all the pain
but never get to...
Everyday repeats itself, week after week
Relentless agony, when nothing awaits
Maybe one day life will smile at you
Stuck in the middle without progression
Only you can guide yourself out of there
You can create another world, all in your mind
In solitude you will find
in your head everything is better than you'll ever be
Life is seldom fair
It leads you to despair
After every uphill
You will descend
You can hide from your fears
to avoid all the pain
but never get to...

Cosmic Tide
Like a tsunami, an origami of emotions
tears through my chest.
Crest crashing down on my heart,
creating a black hole.
Scrolling through porcelain dreams,
just to flail in collapsed nightmares.
Staring into the abyss
with cuckoo eyes.
Crying as I drown in the whirlpool,
unable to escape your betrayal.
tears through my chest.
Crest crashing down on my heart,
creating a black hole.
Scrolling through porcelain dreams,
just to flail in collapsed nightmares.
Staring into the abyss
with cuckoo eyes.
Crying as I drown in the whirlpool,
unable to escape your betrayal.

inconsolable
sadness comes and there is nothing I can do
it swallows me and I am lost in its melancholy
my soul sinks and my thoughts weep
the pain is unbearable
the heaviness of being desolate
unable to focus my energies
with a listless affect, I take inventory
what's wrong inside me?
my weight is always a problem
I weight a little too much
and sugar would make me feel better, for a moment
I'm struggling with a since of loss
thojugh I have lost nothing
fears mount and I dread everything
the sky is grey and I feel...
it swallows me and I am lost in its melancholy
my soul sinks and my thoughts weep
the pain is unbearable
the heaviness of being desolate
unable to focus my energies
with a listless affect, I take inventory
what's wrong inside me?
my weight is always a problem
I weight a little too much
and sugar would make me feel better, for a moment
I'm struggling with a since of loss
thojugh I have lost nothing
fears mount and I dread everything

Mother Natures Last Walk
Walking in the soft white
With no direction
All I know is my heart is cold
The air freezes with every exhale
Creating intriguing flakes that drift
What have you done?
Some mistakes cannot be repaired
I gave you a home
Nurtured you
Now
I will walk the path to my end
What can a mother do to show her love?
I gave you me
Once the last bloom on the tree of life blooms
Remember how I once was.
Remember the soft summer nights.
When the rose and the orchids perfumed the air
Remember the sweet fruits...
With no direction
All I know is my heart is cold
The air freezes with every exhale
Creating intriguing flakes that drift
What have you done?
Some mistakes cannot be repaired
I gave you a home
Nurtured you
Now
I will walk the path to my end
What can a mother do to show her love?
I gave you me
Once the last bloom on the tree of life blooms
Remember how I once was.
Remember the soft summer nights.
When the rose and the orchids perfumed the air
Remember the sweet fruits...

Repair
Wish you weren't here
The mind still ticks
Thoughts unclear
Life unclicks
Pain in a glass
This lonely affair
Grey contrasts
In need of repair
The mind still ticks
Thoughts unclear
Life unclicks
Pain in a glass
This lonely affair
Grey contrasts
In need of repair
