A Letter of Love/Hate

This hurts too much,
Even though at times
Its the best thing ever.
However,  the pain I feel right now 
Is destroying all that I am. 
I feel worthless and dumb. 
Vunerable and used. 
I also feel loved and special. 
Beautiful and wanted. 
These feeling are so extreme in every which way possible.
I love how I feel when with you
I hate how I feel guilty when we part
I love looking in your eyes
I hate when mine cry
Your fingers along my face also touches her
Those lips that drive me crazy
Are sleeping against her neck tonight
I love who I am around you
I hate what I have turned into
I love the way you make me feel
I hate that she must feel that as well
No matter how good it feels
This pain is too much to bear
I love you
I truely truely do
But the hurt is not worth
The random few moments of bliss.
Goodbye, my love-hate lover
Goodbye





**Note**
This is a letter/poem I wrote for someone special. But it moves me so much every time i 
read it, I thought maybe someone else would enjoy reading it as well. 'To write is to share 
with the world, how we all feel but never speak of'     Lisa

A Word From Your Bartender

Listen here, buddy,
I'm in control.
If you don't like it,
Then go for a stroll.

There is more than one exit,
And I can give you directions.
I don't care what you think,
 I don't need your objections.

I can get to be  a b---h,
In two seconds flat.
I can also be a sweetheart,
There's no question of that.

But here's the bottom line,
It always goes my way.
Do what you like,
Just do as I say.


Written for bartenders everywhere. From a bartender whose seen quite a lot. So 
please give your respect to your local bartender. Especially when she only one 
working, and she's bouncing a fight by herself.

Darkness

Complete darkness
No sound at all
This is where you live
No one to talk to
The blackness, engulfing
Smothering the air out of you
In this vast void with lack of light
You are forced to believe
That you see a speck
A tiny green light
Way off in the distance
This blot of light brings so much hope
So many desires
You can hardly breath
Suddenly the light grows larger
You feel elated
Then FLASH
Complete darkness
No sound at all
Things are back
To the way they will always be

But You Do Lie

Laying here in my bed
Listening to your deep and shallow breath
Such a smooth and calm sound
I roll over and lay a hand on your chest
Too much movement it seems
For you rolled onto your side
As I steal my hand away
I close my eyes and try not to cry
I get out of bed and move to the couch
I lay there in silence, smoke in hand
I try and calm my pounding heart
Finally drifting off to dream land
I wake with a start
A gasp caught in my chest
I feel strong arms gently squeeze
And a warm hand on my breast
I stiffen with fear
Until you softly say my name
The tension slowly ebbing
Until calmness has the reigns
You kiss the back of my neck
In that slow and sensual way
Repeating my name in a whisper
A game you know how to play
You gently roll me over
And take my head in your hands
You kiss my forehead lightly
The beginning of a dance
You gaze at me deeply
And said “I love you so much I can’t stand it”
You begin kissing my eyes and lips
Stealing like a bandit
I take you in my arms
And feel my insides quake
You run your fingers through my hair
Giving it a little shake
You pull away from me slowly
And looked deeply in my eyes
I blush and turn away
I don’t want to see any lies
You lay down behind me
And hold me so very tight
And then you said those words
I dream of every night
“You are all I ever wanted,
You are all I’ll ever need,
I’ll do anything you want me to,
Just spend your life with me”
I don’t know why I did it
But I begin to cry
He pulls me even closer
“I love you, Trust me I don’t lie”
I can feel myself roll over
What happens next, who knows
For I awake with a start
The tears still soaking into my pillow
I finally get my bearing
Everything is as it seems
It turns out you do lie
But only in my dreams

Parchement

On this parchment
I am forced to write
That of which I cannot speak

On this oh so delicate paper
I am enraptured
by my under lying thoughts

On this meager piece of material
And this once sharp pencil
I try to express the deepest of emotions

On this once blank loose leaf
That I now read to it's fullest
I find that though I wrote about nothing

On this one piece of parchment
About nothing at all it seems
Is full of something you feel, not just see

Cease

I feel your hands all over me
Moving with determination and desire
Your calloused hands moving quickly
And never seeming to tire
You put your mouth up to my nipple
As I lay there powerless and weak
You move up to my neck slowly
And lightly kissing my cheek
You move over top of me
And look me in the eyes
I look away so quickly
From those things that I despise
You grab my hair so roughly
That I grunt quietly from the pain
You give it one more yank 
Just to hear that sound again
Your hand is still around my neck
Slowly tightening it's grip
Your other hand between my legs
Making me feel so sick
You roughly push your way inside
With one hard heavy grunt
Start thrusting deep inside of me
Like trying to overcome a stunt
You finally reach your sexual climax
I could see it rapidly advance
You tear yourself off of me
Not a single hint of romance
You go to light a cigarette
And somehow stubbed your thumb
You stood up and punched the wall
Thats when I knew you were scum
From that moment onward
It was never to be the same
I could barely stand to be around you
And you only have yourself to blame
I've walked away from what once was
I need to be left in peace
We will never get back together
So put your stupid attempts to a cease.

Question....

What do I have to offer you,
For you to give me some consideration?
What is it that I have to change,
To be seen by you the way I want?
Is all this emotion turmoil,
That I put myself through, worth it?
So maybe the question should be,
What is it, you, have to offer me?

Mind Vs. Heart

For a little while there,
My emotions were all messed up.
But now I've found some closure,
And my mind and heart made up.
 
My mind knew the whole while,
That nothing would come to be.
It knew it was a spurt of time,
Before you would be a memory.
 
My heart on the other hand,
Never cared about the facts.
It knew you that would leave,
But was still waiting for you to come back.
 
My heart would not take the hint,
Though my mind was telling the truth.
My heart had decided,
It was going to wait for you.
 
It took a lot of convincing,
On my minds behalf.
To make my heart realize,
That you were not coming back.
 
My heart started to accept it,
But then you popped back in my life.
My mind versus my heart,
The battle starts again in strife.
 
So the war between the two,
Went on for a little while.
My physical being paid for it,
I never used to smile.
 
I'm not sure how it happened,
But now everything is alright.
My mind and heart came to terms,
Trust me, it was a fight.
 
My heart has finally realized,
To put it's feelings to an end.
My heart now has the power,
To now think of you as friend
 
My mind had to make a sacrifice,
To help my heart along it's way.
My mind had to agree,
That one day things may change.
 
As hard as my heart is fighting,
My mind won't let it love,
My inner turmoil is over,
My heart is now locked in a steel glove.

Quiet Contemplation

Quiet contemplation
Silence is relief
Safe inside my sanctuary
I look for solace and some peace
My mind continues running
In circles 'round vicious lies
Not ever once giving me a moment
To just break down and cry
So as I lay here thinking
In my darkened and cold bed
I take the little pill
Thats supposed to fix my head
The drugs begin to peak
My heart beats a litlle slower
I smile to myself
Knowing life is not over
I will awaken in the morning
And still frown to start the day
Fake smile for my friend
Keeping all true emotions at bay
Quiet contemplation
Silence is relief
Safe inside my sanctuary
Drug comatose brings me peace
