I can see it plain as day
Your transparency
Using scare tactics like power
But yours is scanty
You hate it when the stars
refuse to shine
Your light grows too dim
Darkness consumes you
Until there is no hope for you
Withering melting into nothing
Into a dark abyss in bitter hate
What will you do?
When the reality hits it hits so hard
You've never encountered
such an amazing storm as this!
Oh wait, you have.
You know it can happen.
You remember from before
It was the first time you fell.
Only difference this time is
there is no return to power.

With only four words her whole life changed "you bet your life" he mocked, and she did. She bet her life it would be just the way it was written. So she read the words over and over again. She promised and prayed with dedication. Then she stood back and watched it unfold. Just as it was told it happend and she knew. He was trying to make her doubt but she knew. She was not blinded by uncertainty; she was grounded in belief. Unshaken by fear she knew her life was important, important enough to dedicate. She was important enough to love. Some wanted her to think she wasn't but she knew that wasn't true, after all, she bet her life on it.

You have to know
You can see it plain as day
The idol, the icon,
the pedestal they stand on
It's at a peak level
A high point
A point like a peak you know
A teetering peak,....
Like when you lose your footing
And you totter
Slip
And topple down
Down like a landslide
Because of the bare ******
Tasteless perversity
Like *******  
Without boundary
Without limit
And so it has to be
And you just know

I am glad you're gone. You rip my heart out with ease as if I were nothing to you so I am glad. Go, run, you belong there.

I tapped my toe
while the little man sang
Frank Sinatra's words,
they go something this way
"For it's hard you will find
to be narrow of mind
if you're young at heart"
As I pondered those words
I felt a little absurd
many must feel
I have an elderly heart
With the heart being center
of any decision
I feel that creates
way too much derision
Often we regret that part
Nobody wants to admit it
Yet we finally get it  
stumble and tumble
when life falls apart
All because
we followed the advice
When you are among
the very young at heart
So never forget
to take your brain with you
not just words in songs
Keep your head on straight
consequences continue
things sometimes go wrong
Remember your virtues
I know all you really wanted
was to follow your heart

How do I begin when somehow it feels as if it never ends or sometimes as if it never ended....

The taunting smirk of your love leaves me feeling abandoned or at a loss; a bit irritable.....

After all you keep touching my waist and tempting me with that laugh, that smile, those hands...

You come here intoxicated and leave me to sleep alone wanting to be intoxicated too, only with your love.

Love is funny like that, that it's just so upside down. So full of mercy and hope & mystery...

You wish
Yeah you wish you could
I know better and I'm fine.
Never again so don't even try
To come around here acting like
I'll melt like ice
I laugh, I am past  the giddy feeling
It's been years since I fell for your deception
I know more than you wanted
I opened my eyes
Too late? Well isn't that what you wish
Still I ache for yesterday but the future
Is before me.
I am not the fool you wanted
like you wish
In your dreams you fooled me
Completely
Was I smarter than you wished I would be?
I was distant on purpose
