I dream of a day
When im not alone
A day where I smile
A memory set in stone

I wish for a moment
That let's my heart sing
Just a moment I'll remember
All I ask is that one thing

But for now
Each day I'll cry
Hoping for my wish
Before the day I die
Right now I feel frozen
Wait
Not frozen.
Life moves on
At a regular pace
But I'm slow and
I'm losing this race
I want to go back to
Where we were when
I said I loved you
And you said it back.

It was all so sudden
Our relationship didn't crumble
It imploded on itself.
And now I'm back
To being alone.
This poem is my
Impromptu apology.

I moved too fast
And now I'm stuck
In slow motion.

If all were fair and just in the world
Maybe there would be peace.
If the world had wisdom and understood
Maybe the fighting would cease.
If all men had sympathy and caring
Maybe no child would live unfed.
If life held no pain or sorrow
No tears would need be shed.
If all could be humble and meek
Then pride would not stand in our way,
There would be no ambitions to to drive us
No temptations to cause us to stray.
If each soul could be filled with laughter
There could be joy in each heart.
If all men could be brethren
Then each man could feel a part.
If at any time your life is this
Then your life is rare.
And the world could be like this
If the world were just and fair.

The idle chattering of a family occasion.
It swings around every holiday.
The gathering of peas from the same unhappy pod.
Talking without saying anything.
Bloodless, insipid, mundane.
All emotion sunk deep down, beneath the layers of years.
Hatchets left swinging in the breeze.
Bury one in me?

This is my little world of broken dreams.
Once you come in there's no way out.
Dreams turn to dust,
they're forgotten.
This is my little dark world,
where people are on their own,
they're all alone, sad, broken...lost.
Come with me.
Hear my lullaby,
it'll guide you
to our little world.
We're waiting,
we're singing to you.
Fall asleep and join us,
we're across the haunted forest.
Just walk through the mist.
This is our little world.
You'll break.
You'll be forgotten.
In our own little world.

Every curve of your face is familiar
Every word that you speak, I've already heard
I know you better than I know myself
You are a fire that consumes me
But I would gladly spend the rest of my life burning
Knowing you were the one who lit the match
I will create oceans and rivers
From the tears that flow from my eyes
And they will envelop the shores
Formed in the crest of my torso,
The valleys that lay in between my *******
Will protect wildlife from the raging winds
Of my breaths, and the shaking earth
Of my heartbeat
My thoughts will form stars and planets
And I will create my own galaxies
My fingertips will be the roots of trees that will stretch ever onwards
I will grow and I will grow
And I will destroy as I please
No laws hold me
For I am my own universe
Unbidden, unbound.
