I miss the man I met on happenstance.
Not the unmasked version of you.

Confused ...

As for my cup of coffee today ...
It has mixed feelings ...
sometimes it lifts me up ...
to embrace the sky...
and another time...
it takes me to the verge of insanity...
so, my days ...
fluctuate between this and that ...
so, ...
in all cases ...
I keep sipping my coffee ...
with it's  bitter and sweet ...
with a one only hope ...
to meet you soon ...
as we told ...
in a last meeting ...
when you gave my lips ...
a sweet kiss ...

How many times can I write a "break up" poem?

Screaming into my empty pages,

"This is it,
                  I'm finally
                                      DONE. " 

I still don't leave, though,
Of course I don't.
Is this what its like to be crazy?
You're the only place I know.
        
Am I insane?
Whos to say?


If you ask me, I wasnt always this way.
I'm almost sure of it.

But if I'm insane, how would I even tell?

For all I know,
I could be in an asylum right now, rocking back and forth in a corner,
just talking to myself.

How would I even know?
Could I even guess?


The terrifying part is,
I wouldn't.

Crazy people never realize they are crazy,
Do they?

So maybe none of this is real. ...

...Maybe HE'S not real...

Maybe we never fell in love,
never had our child,
never planned our future together.

But that was all before the abuse.

                       ...The abuse..... 

                        Was that even real?
I'm not sure anymore...

   Maybe it wasnt.
Maybe, we never even met.

Well if thats the case, and we never met,
I guess thats good.

Because never meeting me, is what you told me you wished for,

right?

                    ...Or...
                    I don't  know.
Did you?

Tell me, which is harder.
Waiting for something you know will never be in your cards,
or having to come with the terms that it will never happen.

Maybe closing yourself

Off from me will make it easier

When the inevitable comes

Have you asked yourself

If you are running towards your fears

Or away from them

I fell in love with

The darkness of your soul because

It felt like home

I spend more time

Mourning the living rather

Than mourning the dead

Why
Almost 70,000 words
Still, I can't figure out
Why poetry seem to flow
When I feel like giving up

9000 days and more
Still, my heart betrays me  
I guess we'll only live
Once we choose to be happy

Can You tell me the secret?
Can You show me The plan?
My heart yearns to know
Please tell me I can.
I'm back with another poem after many years of taking a hiatus.

I'd take your
Happiness if given
The chance again
That infected smile
A thin coward's lips
That sour expression
The eyes never lie
But they do fib
Enjoy your demise
You've earned it
The History: You don't know what you got, 'til it's gone.
