Take heart
When you’re hurt
Its art
Of being smart.

A Lifetime to Learn

Looking back on my life
From this old hospital bed
I realize in my heart
That there is much to be said
Much to be said to the broken hearted
Much to be said to those who are guarded
Much to be said to the lonely and confused
And much to be said to the arrogant and amused.
Even to you who has lost with no answer why
I have something for you, so don’t you cry
You see life is weird with its twists and its turns
And I hope it doesn’t take you a lifetime to learn
Learn that money is such a trivial thing
And Learn that to fly, you don’t always need wings
Learn that a smile can go a long way
Learn that it might even make a strangers day
Learn that love is never wrong
And learn that your mistakes make you strong
Learn that it is okay to cry
Learn that it is okay not to understand why
Learn to never stop dreaming
And if you do that, you’ll learn to never stop beaming.
Learn to be compassionate and kind
Learn to follow your heart, and listen to your mind
Learn to notice the beauty in life
And learn to be generous, when there is strife.
Learn to laugh as much as you can
Learn to be your own #1 fan
Learn to listen to other people’s pain
Learn to sing and dance in the rain
Learn to keep going when the going gets tough
And learn to stay calm when you've had enough
Learn to treasure your family and friends
Learn because these people will be there till the end
Learn to keep God close to your heart
Learn to thank him from the very start
I know this must be a lot to take in
But if you learn I promise you’ll win.
I hope that it doesn't take you a lifetime to see
I hope that someday you don’t end up like me.

Amber Death

Another day lived drop by drop,
I cannot turn to God, how can I stop?
Friends family beg alike,
Yet nothing compares to those golden drops.
Golden amber, bliss frozen into drops.
Is this how a mortal feels,
Having drunk ichor?
By the bottle there is no shame, only pain.
I drink a lot not sure if that's new,
These few moments of regret with myself,
Grace me till I reach the shelf.
But when the bottle is open, there is nothing more.
Sorrow makes me grip the bottle tight,
Despair won't leave me till midnight.
Delirium patiently waits,
As I drown in the amber fluid.
All thoughts of abstinence are crude,
I no longer have any pride.
All this regret is from a former me,
One I can no longer be.
Revelation and realization overcome me like a high tide,
Sorrow drowns me in its folds.
I guess there is no other way yet,
So I drink till I choke.
Silent stares from my friends,
Cut the silence like broken glass.
The silent sobs of my mother,
Sound so distant. Dampened by the liquor.
I despise what I have become,
I have lost my own self.
Maybe one day I'll be back,
Till then I'll drown and hate.

Unknown Power

I'm so tired of this empty feeling
I'm so tired of being alone
I lay here staring at the ceiling
Waiting by the phone

I jump when the phone rings
It brings a smile to my face
When she hangs up my heart stings
And I sink back into my lonely place

I wish and I dream
That we'll be together soon
I can't wait until we can look up hand in hand
At the stars and at the moon

I yearn for her kisses
Her touch - Her embrace
I can't wait for the days
When I get to see her face

I'm flooded with thoughts of her
In my heart, soul, and mind
I imagine her touch
So gentle and kind

I try not to weep
I hope she doesn't hear my cries
But I can't stop the tears
Falling from my eyes

I cry a thousand tears
And think - how much more can I take?
But in my heart I know I'd wait a thousand years
All for love's sake
The horrid emotion floods my insides,
The nihilistic warrior I was exists no more
Why can she fix my pains with just a smile?

I tremble, i quake
I lose control to my undying soul.
She holds over me power unknown
So in the nights I try to cry,

For I want these emotions gone.

Poem Of The Moment

Dedication
Love bitten
*******
Infatuation
Pure but deadly
Still, it's reality
Love is a drug
Love is a need
That's what we crave
In this time of age
A bit of heaven
A bit of hell
Like putting a coin
Into a wishing well
We take and give
That is a part
Of our design

Not sure what I just wrote lol

Permanently Affected

Taking a moment to breathe
Reminding myself
Of the reason
I have strength
I will not break
Even though it's late
And my heart is bruised
Damaged and used
And left by you
To rot and die
Left myself asking why
Why am I more dead
Than alive?
You left a hole
I can't fill
I can never be whole
You have my soul
Wish I gave it to the devil
At least he'd use it well
Unlike you, my dear
You left me in fear
Of love and life
I am dead inside
My feelings collide
And I lose my grip
I let my dignity slip
Into the cracks
Of sadness
You saved me
But left me
Feeling
Even more
Alone and empty
Than I was before
Before you entered
That faulty door
Now I feel despair
The love is here
But you aren't near

Disaster In Disguise

Memories fall apart
Like an angel in the dark
(She's clinging onto life)

Memories cut you from inside
They bleed you out until you're dry
(Love kills people every night)

Such a lovely disaster
Nightmare, such a blunder
We used to be such lovers
Until we broke each other
And became perfect strangers

Take my heart,
I don't want it back

Take my love,
I'll get through it

Heartbreak shows us
Never love and never trust
(Unless you wanna die inside)

People will heal you
Then they'll leave you
(It's all a game, alright)

People will deceive you
Then wonder why
It's breaking you
They never care
Until they see you happier
With someone that isn't them
Only then, they'll want you near
Wanna know every detail

(No, go to hell and stay there)

Venting in the best way possible.

Reflecting On Past Flames

One kiss was enough
To leave me hooked
For a lifetime
Just the way you smiled
When your hand held mine
I thought love was complete
The attraction was discreet
Yet perfectly displayed
I remember the first date
The night we kissed
The day we spent
Organizing plans
Holding hands
Drinking, talking
I also recall
The first time
We made love
That was a special moment for us
At least I thought it was
You were my first
But I wasn't your last
Our connection
Turned into dust

Wrote this years ago, after leaving the guy who cheated on me. He was kind of my first love, the first serious boyfriend I had as a young teen. I adored him, and sometimes I reflect on our time together.

The Cascade

Here comes the rain;
Washing away my pain.
Making me feel so relieve,
Giving me reasons to believe.
Who do you expect to pay;
For my cold summer day?
For me, who's willing to cry?
I know no one, but the grieving sky.
Angels' tears continue to fall.
Melancholy rises to call.
As the rain embraces me,
Whispering "do not worry."
The pouring raindrops in my palm;
Is keeping my aching heart calm.
My lonely eyes can now hide its tears.
My sorrow can now vanish without fears.
As angels' tears continue to fall.

"I love standing in the dark, cause no one can see me crying."
