I’m falling apart at the seams,
Trying to keep you out of my dreams.
Every night I see your face,
A perfect image of my shame.
A time in my life where I went so wrong.
I’ve moved on I just want you gone.

The memories come flooding in,
from a place in my mind that I thought was dead.
Who is that man pretending to be me?
Was I really that awful?
I’m so sorry.
A quick little poem that I had jingling around in my head and decided to write down.
While you waited for the future you forgot about today
And the sand kept on pouring.
And time slipped away.

There'd be no need to bleed
a pen of its ink
if only I had the ability 
to decipher what I think.

You are a bubble
Irresistible

One day you're here
The other day you're gone
Can't you just be the sun?
Who keeps still
While I go round?

I don't like the sound
You make when you leave
Empty
But it's a beauty
I can't resist
For I love you

You're my bubbles
Creeping into my soul
Swallowing me whole

Please don't leave
Surround me with your arms
I'll be forever waiting
Here, I'll be lying

write poetry
or
die.
he said
they were the same.

If it's true,
I'm not sure that I
can look at you the
same.

For someone who says
they do not judge,
you sure as hell
can judge your
best friend.

I really hope it's not true.
I'm crying because it most likely is....

You're not my cup of tea.
(You don't put me to sleep)
You're not quite my cup of coffee either
(Though you do wake me up)
Instead you're my shot of whiskey.
(You make me feel alive)

Happy Thanksgiving,
and that's when you
started losing grammar
as if you had no time to
use punctuation for me,
I wasn't worth the finality
of a period or a comma.
(c) Brooke Otto 2014

This was a much longer poem, originally.
Because there are no sides and
It doesn't matter what you believe
Or who you are
There is no left or right
We are all feel the same
Maybe a little broken
Or flawed or angry
It is a respite and relief from pain
It is spoken from the soul and to the soul
And it is the only time
That I can be fully human
I love the neutral ground of poetry where we all come to lament or rejoice or vent.  There are no differences or borders when someone leaves or dies that you love and you express that.
