DTG
A small prayer
A breathless plea
On the lips
of one on their knees

Will this work
Will this help feed and care
for those who can not care for themselves
is this where I am suppose to be

Perhaps
maybe
just hopeful
that I wouldn't end up

where I once was
I saw you again
I was having lunch and you walked in
Ordered a pie to go
And then our eyes met

I got up
Your body was hunched
Your hair a mess
But your eyes were sunken

You went to hug me
But I held out my hand as anger burned
"I can not let you go again
Either you walk away
Or know that I never stopped loving you"

A soft tear fell
And the anger I had
Vanished as I shook my head
My voice above a wishper as I begged
Pleaded I was wrong

"She's home, but not sure if she's gonna make it tonight,
Thought pie would be sweet, since-
Since"
The tears fell as you wrapped me in your arms

The sentence finishing in my head
A small little thing
That we start when we were kids
Have a blast
And celebrate with pie

We stood their
Holding onto each other in the walkway
Tears falling down
As both of us moarned the loss to come

Your scent sweet
Your strength surprising
But I felt at home


My phone alarm signals 8 am
I guess it was dream
A dream and a ghost
And nothing more
Your holding me close
Our bodies warm under the clothes
Nothing happening
Just silence under the blanket

Your warm smile
My soft giggle
Your eyes clear for once
And your whole body relaxed

All my scars sore from the hours before
Not where you found them open
But kissed and touched so tenderly

Your chest rising and falling
My fingers planing a tender solo on your arm
For once
It was just us

No expectations
No wishing we were different
Just us
Are we are


But like many hopes
The mirror has cracks and missing pieces
The reflection only one of a dozen around
Perhaps this is how our story was to be made

The one where it's two
Two souls destined to fall
Two mates found
But one
Refused to accept the other
And crushed the small ember of love

A story where the ruthless
Cracks and breaks
The soul torn
Only for a part to find the other
When they give up all hope
Of ever living again

Oh what a story that shall be
One where your the love
And the fall

Oh what a nice story
I'll ink it tonight
The story so perfect
It only needed light

But alas
Just as stated in book 2
"I only can feel you hold me
When I shut the world out
When I have nothing
Only there
Can you love me
Before you turn and left me standing"
The first love is a hope, where the setting is placed.
The second and unwavering love, that's the true story.
Because we only have one life, I was lucky to find love twice. Soon I'll tell my story, the one I've tried for years, and then retire my pen and ink for my job will be finished.
Simple and sweet
Carefully chosen
Freely given
But out of all the flowers I've received

I've had to show what's under my clothes more
Because showing skin
Is more then recieving flowers

But I really like flowers
And I really hate my body....

The flowers don't hold the bruises
The flowers aren't scared
The flowers
Are just
Flowers

Simple and sweet
And nothing more
Perhaps one day I'll receive flowers once more, for something other then a promise.
Oh sweet damp well
"Toss a coin and make a wish"
A simple saying
To loose a coin or two

But I have no money
Or a wish to spend
Just time
And hope for something more

A train started at one station
A stumble crash into another
Why must a heart
Be torn by two who it lost to love?

Oh dear well
Your age is shown by moss
Sweet flowers dot around
Watered by those who take to drink

The silence is a friend
But a emptiness still
Despite your water below
It's still quite up here

A longing
A hope
A promise broken

Wishing well
I have no money
But perhaps you may take
A ring and flower instead

Hear the hope
That there will be one
Whose ring doesn't darken
And whose flower doesn't wilt
It should be simple
do task
be happy

but instead my mind refuses to think about the task
doesn't want to find the drive to do it
Doesn't want to move
Just doesn't

But the task must be done
and maybe
with a little bit of hope
that it will be ok

maybe the task
once be so bad after all
Barely a whisper
Controlled and smooth
finally at rest
finally free from the chaos

But as the breath fads
sirens come alive
screams and pleas
fall upon the deaf ears

the trajectory already set
the motion already made
she was happy
she was hopeful

but nothing could protect her
when her home was taken away
poisoned by few
the fire of fear destroying the rest

they made it clear
she wasn't welcomed anymore
so she did what they asked
she removed herself from being a "problem"

too little
too late
yet they get to walk on
no one batting an eye
at the woman IT killed
Because every story should be told, even if there is no happy ending.
