God be with you
when in need
Broken hearts bleed
but the depths of pain are temporary
We feel, grieve and retrieve
some semblance of our former selves
Until we meet again

Do you ever want to kiss these lips
Again
Grab me and pull me in close
Again
Feel the heat of our skin on skin
Again
Look so deep in my eyes you get lost
Again
Can you ever forget how it felt
Again
When we touch and we kiss and we ****
Again
I want to see the light dance in your eyes
Again
While you make me laugh and smile
Again
Can we hold hands and enjoy time just us
Again
Can you swallow your pride long enough
Again
Will you ever give in to my love
Again
Can we please just be friends with no strings
Again
I want to try to make plans
Again
Will you promise to not make up excuses
Again
I promise to not say those three words
Again

sadness took my hand
and refused to let go.
I couldn't stop shivering,
and she was the reason why.
I acknowledged her words
then told her, "it's not you, it's me,"
let go of her hand, and felt warm again.

What makes you tick?

Crashing waves
Flashing lights

The kiss on your lips?

I remember the taste
Hands on your waist
You’d look at me
Loving your embrace

What more will I write?

It helps me cope
Throw away the urge
And in the end
I lose hope

Today I was humiliated, shamed and killed,
I stood there as that one condemned to th’ execution,
Unable there to find no fair solution,
Imbibe my words with soothing, lulling lilt

It was as hard as walk through pool of fire
Where all the other sinners boil to crust,
But wade through this unstoppably I must
To reach the other shore more vile and dire

And at the end there’s nothing but great pain,
As one realization starts to take me over
And as the trunk it strives to roll me over,
That all the path I’ll have to walk again
So all the tape again, anew re-reeled
Today I was humiliated, shamed and killed

i haven't checked on this site in a while
how is everyone?
what have i missed?

i almost forgot about this small community
of beautiful people
i missed you :)
Trickling raindrops
         Falling teardrops Rising in thunder
     Shoulders begin to shudder
        To the striking light that flies
To the silenced cries
                     A window tightly shut
An ever hollowing gut
          Now the curtains are drawn
    For I'm just another lost swan
Lost another one of those fights
          Lost to another one of those
                Rainy Nights
Lost in the rain, I ever so slowly begin to breakdown
