You Are My Happiness

Happiness is in seeing a smile on your face. 
No one can replace what is true.
Sunshine radiates within,
I am so enamored by you.
To feel your beauty in all of its forms.
To not have to shelter my heart from harm.
My love for you, it is one of a kind.
Happiness is in feeling your arms wrap around mine. 
Each time, time stands still.
Pure happiness washes away any pain. 
The feeling rushes through my veins.
For a moment in time, 
I feel once again.
Happy in knowing you will never walk away.
When life gets hard I know you will stay.
Faith and love permit, where sadness once thrived.
All because you are a constant in my life.

Within Her Heart

Within her heart

Within her disassembled heart she saw a world of pain.
The loss of a thousand lives obliterated.
Brief memories no longer remained.
Whatever mattered within her heart, it drove her insane.
Emotions in essence deteriorated, with nothing left to gain.
She felt as if she had to run an hide.
Now leaving a lost soul no one knows inside.
Within her heart is a losing battle she wishes did not exist.
Stuck within a world of uselessness. 
Unable to break free.
With no one left by her side.
Within her heart is where she will be.

Intertwined

A forbidden love lost.
One i was truly never destined to find.
Soul searching rendered me blinded for a small period of time.
So two forlorn hearts then became intertwined.
I quenched this thirst wholeheartedly. 
One that was never mine.
Holding on tight, so the feeling does not subside.
It engulfed my mind.
Two hearts Intertwined.
If not forever, for a brief moment in time.

True Love

Love has reasons,
for which reason does not know.
Reason fades into the wind,
In order for true love to grow.
Growing blind to see the truth,
Which is clear as night and day.
Love sees no boundaries.
True love is blind to its ways.
You feel it, with out words ever being spoken.
True love touches the soul of the heart that it has chosen.
Mending the hearts of those that are broken.

Home

Isolated from society with no real place to call home.
Alone and scared of what, i do not know.
I want a be free to camouflage that i am affected.
Withdrawing from the unknown, undetected.
Left to a society where hypocrisy is condoned.
I became a stranger to all i had known.
Escaping reality in order to stay sane.
Escaping judgement and ignorance. 
It seems like everyone was a fan. 
A fan of judging what they don't know. 
Ignorance spread all over the place like grains of sand falling through the cracks in our broken hearts. 
Home to me is where there is fast flowing tears because what mattered fell apart. 
Home to me is many wasted years.
Tired of talking to the walls around me, when no one hears.
Trapped inside are our demons and all our fears. 
This is where most of society calls home.
The foundations of hypocrisies have been sewn.
Many bridges burned along the way. 
So evil could not cross the bridge or climb my wall today. 
Crawling for a bit after i had to fall. At one point i lost it all. 
My faith left defeated. My energy depleted. Left defenseless. 
Some fences needed mending but i was too blinded, unable to see. 
That I live here hoping of a home, a time where my mind was free; of a home, a time where i could go back to being me.

Time Fades

As time fades, we ponder what is true. 
The world around me turns somber.
Change is forever creeping upon me and you.
As time fades, our lives evolve.
Moments live on through situations unresolved. 
Emotions are spent. Questioning how you can so easily forget. 
My soul, my heart. All the special parts of me. 
Saddened to know nothing truly last and that is just reality.
Feelings fall apart as friends become distant memories. So easily do they walk away. 
Again we ponder what is true? As time turns into yesterday. My emotions turn blue.
Recalling things of the past, knowing it all dies and becoming detached.
Opening my eyes to all the wasted time on moments that were trash. Giving up, knowing i tried. At times being rash.
Everything that mattered faded into a collection of dust and how time cannot rewind memories so eventually thoughts become tarnished and rust. 
So as time continues to fade, i ponder what is really true. When time is everything and it got away from me and you.

Trust

Building many walls along the way,
So no one can lead your heart and mind astray.
Feeling anguish over the past,
has taught you to walk a very narrow path.
Questioning everything that meets your eyes.
Avoiding the wrath when the trust dies.

Trust, Where did it go?
I don't know?
Once you're hurt too many times,
it leaves you unable to grow.
Overly cautious of everyone you know.
Distrust overshadowed what is true.

Trust in the love between me and you?
Trust, to bring out vulnerabilities,
to expose my innermost self.
To trust in me more than anyone else.
to trust friendship, when all it's ever did was let me down.
Trust in people how?

They're never there in your time of need.
The foundations of distrust have planted its seed.
Behind my walls, I built for me.
How can I break these walls that were made over time?
And trust in god that I will be fine?

How, when distrust overshadowed the truth.
As I got older, my heart grew colder,
from all the years of abuse. 
Pain never resolved,
the love that dissolved.
Clouding what I once knew with fears.
Feelings faded from blue to black,
All because trust is what we lacked over the years.

But Seriously

Why does love dissipate and circle into greed?
An ugly foundation that has planted its seed.
Where all good deeds go unseen.
Emotions we hate to feel start to seep in.
But Seriously......
Why do we shut out what we so often need?
Leaving us stranded, with our hearts to bleed.
Feeding off this negativity, makes wounds hard to heal.
But Seriously, too many emotions make it hard to feel.
Knowing feelings are temporary,
Forever fleeting, rarely do they last.
As with the hands of time, 
It continues to move forward all too fast!
But Seriously......
It Changes; like the seasons. Nothing stays the same.
But Seriously......
Love has its reasons for which reason knows not its name.

My Heart and Me

In an attempt to protect what is left of my heart.
I so often am led astray.
Feeling I may fall apart.
Afraid.....
I end up pushing love away.
Our heart is where true happiness lies.
Forever looking back on yesterday to be wise.
Knowing if you seek, you'll never find,
Realizing too late, I am running out of time.
My heart keeps beating,
wondering if I should keep or give it away.
Knowing feelings are fleeting.
It leaves you speechless, with not very much to say.
Full of vulnerabilities.
I don't want no one to see.
Happiness lingers in the midst,
between my heart and me.

Carry On

The time we had was short. It carried on and on.
This heart of mine at times grew weak
when I needed to be strong.
Just looking for a friend in places I truly could not find.
In the end having wasted my time.
Now fighting to erase it all from my mind,
only draws it closer to my heart.
It carries on and on like a song, as the rest of me falls apart.
Friends can mislead you from the start. 
What you may think is caring can deceive you,
from what is really true.
Too many people carry on playing games, 
there is nothing you can do.
Leaving it hard to trust at the end of the day.
Leading your heart and mind astray.
Blinding you senseless till you can't find your way.
Life has its reasons, for which we do not know.
Some friends are rare but temporary.
They are just there long enough for you to grow.
Still, love like friendship does not fade when it's real.
In their absence, you will feel the moments that no longer remain.
In their absence, you feel a sense of pain.
It carries on, like words left unsaid.
Having to say goodbye once again.
Never to say hello.
Knowing the best things in life are also the same things we have to let go.
