Once upon a time ...
You were living life just fine.
But, the sky, that day
Was a dark, dreary gray.
Then, in the blink of an eye ...
You became a very different guy.
No fault of your own
You were simply headed home.
A victim of circumstance ...
You really had no chance.
If I had the power to change ...
That day, I would surely rearrange.
Once upon a time, you had it made, everyday.
Then, in the blink of an eye, it was taken away.

Write me a story
Tell me a poem
Sing me a song
Please don’t leave me all alone
My head is spinning
My gut hurts
My heart broken
Into a thousand pieces
I’ve never been in such pain
I’ve never seen the stars so bright
Please somebody make it night
I lay in bed time never ticks away
Tell me I’ll be alright
Maybe I can sleep tonight

I’m so tired
Post Comment
you hung up the phone
tears streamed down your face
You relayed the news
I already knew
The cancer had spread
Not much to be said
The cold rain
It falls like tears down on my heart
In private I cry until the tears run dry
My big brother-you will always be
You ask who will be there for you
I will
Who will hold your hand
I will
Who will help you
I will
Nothing will ever change the love I have for you
I stand with you
I stand by you
I stand beside you
I feel your pain
as if it were my own

Can one feel emptiness within?
No emotions or thoughts just nothing!
This is my life story,
I have been so lonely.
You touch where it hurt the most,
Loneliness is my lover's lust,
A burden in my heart I carry,
You said it's only temporary.
You have no part of me,
Darkness dancing in my dreams,
I close my eyes to sleep,
And see you mocking me so clearly.
The day the night fell,
I was still with you,
Hoping you will die soon,
And bring me home to peace.

Anger darken one`s heart,
Ego gives you false pride,
Different clouds,
Seen from the ground.
Do roses bloom at night?
Mine did at midnight,
Women are like pineapple tarts,
Men are like lollipops.
Why do you lie?
I can see it in your eyes,
There is no place to hide,
This is where I say my goodbyes...

Better to be slapped with dirt
Memory stained
heart broken
piece of soul taken away
want to forgive
To much pain
Beat me down
spit in my face
Verbally abuse
Up for the game
For the love of my beautiful blessing

Differing opinions, I'm right, you are wrong, same old story,
same old song,
You WHERE here, now you are gone, that didn't take too long,
You started the conflict, you started the fight, hope you have seen
the LIGHT,
And on it goes, day after day, always someone forcing their say,
Always somewhere someone has to pay, always the innocent
come what may!

He rose early
before the sun
to hoe and toil
under true stars
a simple man
beneath the vines
of his grey yard
he chewed straw
and turned his
thoughts to
women
children
delights
he had
not known
in all these days
that had passed
with fruits
and flowers
known only
to his birds
his companions
was he yet
not worthy
of Venus
he mused
for I shall sing
the song
of the grave
before Venus rises
unto me
he sang
yes I shall sing
the song
of the grave
before Venus rises
unto me

What a wreck of a week
If only I hadn’t taken a peek
The ground beneath me feet
Noting but sleet
You sniffed me around
like a hound
following me around
I tried to run
You knocked me down
dragged me through the mud
Twisted me around
looked me in the eye
Said today you won’t die
you wanted my soul
I never felt so cold
I would never give my soul to you
Truth be told
You’re nothing but
A dirty old troll

Nervously,I sat on the beach
This is the first time we would meet
The little girl ran to the water
She looked like just like my daughter
Her eyes sparkled
Her lips formed a pout
Leaving me no doubt
It was she I’ve waited to meet
My heart skipped a beat
She quickly came running to me
She gave me a hug
My heart she tugged
She was like a little dove
She was the girl I had always loved
She held my hand
Our feet in the sand
