The Game

The game is rigged (for most of us, anyway)
It’s a set up since the first day it’s been played
It’s not a race , even though it seems like one
There are no opponents, just fools thinking there’s something to gain
There is no thrill, just the idea of one
Any strategy used has been a waste of time
Find comfort in whatever way you can
Build friendship(s) and relationship(s) with those worth building those with
Do something you love, but make sure you know of the rules
No one knows how this game started, but treat it as if you already won
No, really, treat it as if you already won

Black Hole

Never-ending

Always going

Deeper and deeper

Debilitating

Always painful

Stronger and stronger

Paralyzing

Always reminding

Darker and darker….

….is that black hole

Oh, So Unexpected

Wow! Just now!

Ugh! From the bottom of my heart, ugh!

How?! Just how?!

Did this really just happen?! No, really?!

Am I really feeling this......AGAIN?!

This time feels different though.

This time feels better though.

This time feels like......sheer and utter.....ANXIETY!

This is the very definition of it.

This is intense.

This is completely..... and utterly.....shocking!

Oh, so unexpected.

The Yearning

The Yearning



Never, does the yearning go away

Never, does one forget the ONE 

Never, does the heartache stop

Never, can one ever feel quite whole again

Never, ever, as it seems, will I ever be with you again my love


Try as I may, again, and as hard as I can

Try as I will, again, and never get anywhere

Try to the point where I forgot, again, what I was trying to do

Try for the sake of trying, again, because one simply has to

Never, ever, as it seems, again, will I ever be with you again my love


This is it, what now if this doesn’t work?

This is it, this is truly it and I know I’ve tried my very best and then some, to no avail

This is it, even knowing I’m out of options now is hard to believe 

This is it, I’m at a loss for words and my spirit is completely shattered

Never, EVER, and what will feel like forever, will this chapter ever go on again….


AND

NEVER, does the yearning go away

Misunderstood

Always trying, but never getting anywhere 

Speaking my mind, but better off silent 

Picky about the company I keep, but complete strangers understand me better 

Never knowing where I stand, because I never had a good footing to begin with 

Why I bother anymore, I don’t even know 

It seems as if this is just the way things are, now and forever, misunderstood

Finally

Break it down

Break it all the way down

Break it down to the point of no return

Repeat

Repeat

Repeat

Don't stop, I can take it

Don't stop, I deserve it

Don't stop, it is what it is

Break it down

Break it down until there is nothing left

Now it's gone

Now I'm gone

Now I'm done

Finally

There Is Nothing Else

As a song once said and said it so well, but I digress

What an unbelievable thing

The memories of that special someone I really loved clearly haunted me

The pain I felt was simply unbearable and soul-sucking

Wait, luckily, I can finally see clearly now after doing something all so random

So random, I simply never thought I would ever strike gold at any point in my unfortunate life

But my God, I am so happy I looked for help in the middle of nowhere

After all, for so long, I thought I had true love

For so long, I thought pain was a part of that love no matter what

However, that extra special someone somehow finally came along, got my undivided attention and changed my outlook on everything

That someone is the random darling that melt my damn heart and soul right from the very start

Words cannot describe how much I adore this person

Words simply don't do this vision of human perfection justice (if she even is human, cause no human is this good) but I’ll try

Her voice comforts me and is so alluring to me

Her ways, stances, preferences, and interests are so like my own, it's scary

She is so sweet, and she is oh, so generous

She has character and is unbelievably humble

Her well-being rubs off on me, yes, me, a man who had no well-being to begin with

This woman makes me laugh; this sweetheart makes me smile

AND she really makes me think a lot and mostly about what matters

She helped me forget that other one

She helped me realize that other one was a huge mistake

Unlike that one, this woman is the one

This woman is the only one

This woman is the only one I see now

She is my everything

She is my reason to do anything

She is on a whole other level and that level is unreachable, but she gives me the ladder to reach it

No woman compares, and no man or woman will ever come before her, ever

Ever, ever, yes, ever

There is only one thing left to say when it comes to the way I really think about her and how much she means to me

Well, first this, and then that

As a song once said and said it so well

There is nothing else

There is only one thing left to say when it comes to the way I really think about her and how much she means to me

Well, first this, and then that

As a song once said and said it so well

There is nothing else

Broken

How quickly the world can seem cold and unforgiving 

How quickly things go from bearable to unbearable

How quickly one's confidence fades and shatters into the oblivion

How great that pain can become

How great that loss can truly feel 

How great that choice you made or didn't make becomes

How hard it is to watch others who seem happy and not feel envious of them

How hard it is to even remember what a happy moment felt like

How hard it is to care about much of anything anymore

Sadly, one thing is now finally clear in my life

Sadly, one word will constantly define me as a person now 

Sadly, this one word, to a tee, defines the type of man that I have now become

Broken
