Broken

Promises were meant to be broken
They sit there on some quiet shelf collecting dust
And then like a whirlwind, they topple to the ground
The dust settles
And eye sight is lost
I am all alone with nothing to lean on
No one to keep me from an abysmal fall
I can't promise anymore, that I'll be able to survive this
It feels as if nothing is left to give or take
Maybe I don't exist anymore,
and that is why you no longer care
You look through the mirror and see nothing
but the original ugly person who met you a while ago
No hopes, no dreams, no anorexic frame
No golden blonde hair or blue eyes
No fear of god
No rapture
Just someone wanting to believe in herself
You refuse to see the perfections amidst the imperfections
Your love was bought somehow
With money I never had
I am in debt as always
I am lonely
I am alone
I am nothing
I am no one
I'm a made up person you can't see anymore
My tears fill canyons
I've lost my will
I shouldn't be in this much pain
Friendship isn't bought
But you still put a price tag on yourself
How do I live with my head held up
when all the people I thought were friends
Expect more from me than just friendship returned?
I lost you
and you
and you
and you
This list keeps growing
I can not keep it short
I've lost the way and can't find myself
When I don't exist anymore
Why am I; to you, not good enough?
Aren't we all hopelessly flawed?

About this poem:
The one friend I had, who promised she'd never leave me like all my other friends have, lied. She left me. She deleted me from facebook, blocked me from Deviant Art, and just because I have had a hard time these past 6 years finding work. She assumes every single city/state is the same and everyone can get hired if they beg door to door. Friendship is not something you find in a store isle with a price sticker on it...you care about people because of who they are, not for what they have or don't have. You care because you have their trust and they're willing to tell you the deep dark secrets from their lives, not because they pulled money out of their purse to buy your affections. I must admit, she was my last remaining friend. So, I did cry, and hide in my own little emotional shell and I don't know if I want to come out again. Not if it means, more people leaving me.

Water, Trees, Wind, Emptiness

Now,
when you are the wind

I can breath you
wherever I am

Now,
when you are the trees

I can embrace you
wherever I walk

Now,
when you are the waters

I can let you surround me
whenever I dive

But now,
when you are everything

I feel more emptiness
than ever before

About this poem:
This is a (probably bad) translation by myself of a poem I wrote in my native tongue. I don't know if it even becomes anything near to a poem in English. But I post it anyway.

Alone

Just relized I've been in this dance solo,
since you let go of me I've felt way too low.

I've learned to work around lifes curves myself,
while you turned your back, insulted me, but i grew stronger.

Mad and out characther when your presence wasn't there,
but by that you taught me to be more aware.

For now I know how it feels how to be hurt straight like a chum,
thanks for your own dose of karma soon to came

I Lossed Another Fool.

Don't want to believe this is the end.
Too much and too complicated to start again.

Every single love seems intoxicating,
but for that feel good always ends with heart breaking.

Scream out for you to hold me through,
but it seems yet again another had no rules.

Though I was never perfect and had done the same I'm afraid of,
...I still foolishly find beauty and dig deeper for love.

Alone will I sit in solitude forever being drained,
for I know this last love will leave me insane.

Witness.

Loneliness corrodes your insides,
I am drunk on your emotion,
heightening my senses,
to a love like illusion,
I long to comfort by touch,
but confuse you with desire,
I the intruder in your grief,
witness of your search for peace,
welcome your pain it is,
my old familiar friend.

Heaven Seekers

Blue skies tremble under mighty gaze,
Of heaven seekers final days.
Split apart and then undone.
Now the final trip's begun.

But nostalgic glance at whats left behind,
shows hellish wastes that try to bind,
the good, the bad, the rich, the poor.
The faithful folk shall be no more.

Lost

Cold an alone an nobody home
Wandering down the lane of heartache an pain
Lost......
Asking yourself the reasons why
Life does make you sad an cry
Lost......
Where are the one's you need the most
To lighten your load of this heavy host
Lost......
Scream out for a helping hand
The world has ears on demand
Lost......
But silent is the night as you go
With it broken dreams an sorrow
Lost forever lost

And Then Some

As we share our sunsets
in a different dimension of time,
years may pass~~
you’re forever mine.

I smell your essence
in the morning light;
feel your presence
in the middle of the night.

When I find your love notes,
I respond in kind;
nothing will ever erase you
from my mind.

Come to me
in the middle of the night;
I feel you
regardless of our plight.

I can’t wait to see you
when my time has come;
I know you’ll be waiting
for me...and then some.

Queens

Tonight .......i saw another star
Shining bright ....an not too far
Had not seen.... this star before
Before you left..for heavens door

You shone so bright when you were here
The people you touched.. made it clear
They'd never met....... a man like you
They never will .......an that is true

Passionate about ...the things you did
Your bike , the stamps , even the quid
But none so more ......than your girls
As if they'd come from different worlds

You committed .....every second you had
To secure your rights an make them glad
Share with them.......... all you could
Precious time ........as still it stood

You baked with them .......all the time
Cardboard castles......... were sublime
The squeals ...........of their delight
Echoed......... in your dreams at night

Analytical mind ....brilliant an unique
A memory clear .........for you to seek
There wasn't anything...... really hard
Your approach to it....... never marred

You dealt with people..... individually
Communication your forte.........easily
So when god called .......an needed you
Shocking all ..............in your view

As i look up .........into stars tonight
I know i'll see one close shining bright
An as time............ slowly ticks away
I'm sure this star ......will never fade

So raise your glass..... an have a drink
To remember the kiwi...... who did think
That his girls were queens in his domain
While the sun shines ...on tears of rain

For What It's Worth

For what it’s worth
I always loved you
you were my world
the moon
the stars
my reason for living

For what it’s worth
I didn’t mean to hurt you
to leave you
alone
lonely
crying in your pillow

For what it’s worth
we will meet again
death is not the end
live in heaven
life eternal
together we’ll be again
