Matthew A Cain
She had a porcelain complexion
But make no objection
She was perfection
She had soft doe eyes
And a smile that could light up the night
Sometimes
We would lie awake
Stay up late
Talking till the morning started peaking through my stupid shades
Her soul was truthful
It was beautiful
But somewhere along the line someone broke her so now she tries to hide
Behind
Little thin white lies
And a harsh abbrassive guise
In reality
She loves deeply,
Softly
And completely
But I never loved her because she couldn't let me
The other night I had a dream reminding me of this girl I knew once. She was special and beautiful in so many ways but she was hard to love because she didn't believe she deserved love in any meaningful way.
I don't know whatever happened to her because she long cut ties with all her old friends and I haven't heard from her since. I still think about her at times though and hope she is doing well.

What is perfection
without imperfection?
Answer: It does not exist.
There must be darkness
for light to shine.
There must be troubles
for deeds to show.

A poet without a style
A heart without a chest
A being without a world
A roaming ghost a *****
An oyster seeks a shell
An orca stuck ashore
so far away from sea
A wandering soul that roams
and seeks a body so

The Judge
The hourglass is broken,
my life is spilling out.
The doctor says I'm crazy
and I have no doubts.

The world around me is twisting
into a horrid display.
I am forced to watch as
my own mind begins to decay.

My friendships are being ruined,
and it's doing so at a great cost.
I feel like I'm standing in an open field
yet I've never felt so lost.

The moon has killed the sun,
and taken his fiery crown.
All I can do is watch
as my whole life begins to drown.

Blizzard like conditions
Rapidly cover the ground
Making the commute treacherous
For everyone all around
The snow continued to fall throughout the night
Slowing down as dawn breaks the light

Temperatures rising to warm up the day
Most of the snow will just melt away
Yesterday’s low was a mere 31
By Tuesday it will rise to 71

Freezing and snow one day
Then summer like conditions will break way
But winter is not over
This is no fun
I just want to be warm and have fun in the sun
