Best Love Sick Poems
He loved his grandpa with all his heart
All the hugs in the world
Could not heal him
How we dreaded the time when
Memories would be all that’s left

Kill the Silent One
(Silent Killer)
He has invaded, unseen
Lurking and silent
Evil destroying one and all
From cell to cell
Crawling underneath
Leaching blood and soul
Smiles are murdered
Futures destroyed
Families ruined
The silent one is a killer
Who must be killed
The order has been given
Command centre now on full alert
Maps perused and studied
Strategies contemplated
The invasion...........
Will be at early dawn
Men prepare their battle gear
The landing party both excited and nervous
Life depends on them
Ones death also looms
They have no guilt
No fear
For whom shall be killed
The silent one's days are numbered
Victory is their only option and concern
War has been declared
And
We shall overcome
The silent one
The dawn is approaching
The men kit up in their uniforms
Preparing equipment, double checking their instruments
They march forth ready to do to battle
At dawn, as the brightness above shines down upon them
They enter the theater of operations
Weapons ready
Doctors in full dress
Scrub nurses ready for action
Technicians monitoring vital signs
The battle has begun
More saline, clamps, increase IV, Scalpels
Blood stains the heroes of the moment
The end, a silence, a satisfaction, a tear
This patient can be declared
Cancer free
The silent one was murdered
Cancer removed
Life restored
Family rejoices
Tears and kisses
This battle won
Love Sick
And the way she says "I want you babe"
And I know that it's true
And every time she says my name
These feelings so brand new
And when she holds my hand today
She holds my hand She holds my hand
So I smoked that cigarette to the end
Just waiting for the phone to ring
And I'm writing this lonesome song
that I hope to never sing
To never sing To never sing
I'm Love Sick
She's the drug that's deep inside of me
A needle and my eyes both bleed
Love Sick
I'm guessing she just walked away
These Hopes and Dreams are lost today
I'm Love Sick
And this pain it hurts so bad
Hurts so bad Hurts so bad
It's the way she said "I want you babe"
And the way she holds my hand today
She holds my hand She holds my hand
So I watched that cigarette
Just fade away Just fade away
I hate today I hate today
She said she'd be my Valentine

"Its corona time" they said
I really hope I don't wind up dead
Many people have such as Tom Hanks
He's been tested. It wasn't a prank
Stores are running out of Purell and toilet paper
COVID-19 is like a game and we are all desperate players
Wash your hands and say a prayer
Becasue coronavirus is everywhere
For every soul that seeks itself
between the remnants of past days
or lives
For every wraith who doubts beyond
deepest despair in distractions
that give
Just a small amount of respite despite
efforts too much for one alone
to bear
Here is my hand, here is my heart
For it is big enough to hold you too
Do not despair
While in the darkness only candles
seem to glow, look beyond the flicker
to find hope
Which will be there, in distances far
and oceans wide, it shines bright
we can cope

She left me feeling breathless.
All it took was just one kiss.
I never thought the girl I love
could make me feel like this.
The Lord made friends to cherish and hold,
And to be a big part of the stories you’ve told.
Someone who will lend an ear or maybe a hand,
And listen when you have problems and understand.
Friendships have no boundaries or distance,
They are always there to lend a hand, to be of some assistance.
A true friend has no price tag,
But they’ll help you climb that hill when you start to lag.
When you are sick they are usually the first ones there,
To help you in your time of need to show they really care.
And the only thing they expect from you is just the same,
To help them also should they get sick or lame.
What’s fair is fair that’s what makes it so great,
They’re the type that will share everything upon their plate.
To all the friends I’ve got I say thanks a lot,
Know this you’ll always have a soft spot in my heart.
And when I say my prayers you are included there,
I pray for you because I care.
they're rolling him away
in a wheelchair
down the hospital hall
out of my reach
cutting the cord
promising to bring him back
they're rolling him away
his future in their hands
leaving me in silence
alone with my fears
wallowing as i wait
with nothing but hope

i remember coming home
under the weight of fate’s hammer
one nail already in your coffin
the bell had rung loud and clear
announcing the last round
i brought you home
my precious love
what was left of you
i brought you home
where you belonged
not sure how anything would play out
time a blur nothing certain except
we knew it was the last scene of the final act
but as best we could dammit each moment
would be one by one preciously savored

How can I tell you?
I can't stay with you.
Neither I can give up on you.
Fear of losing you is losing me.
It feels like slow death every night.
But we are just stuck in our spaces!
Unable to connect from two feet distance.
POEM
Title: Broken
I was wrong,
So wrong that it hurts,
So wrong that it burns,
And the reason is difficult to discern,
We mathematically solved to get love in return
But lost is what we earned.
I'm Broken inside,
Is it something to abide?
Let put it aside,
Our misunderstanding,
Our conflicts,
Our arguments,
Your fear plus my fear,
Equivalent to my tears,
While I'm sad,
Feeling bad,
Can we knit a happy end?
You love me but you push me away,
You want me but you never stay,
You always leave and do the same with the key,
And it appalls me,
Let's put a halt to this,
Because it's completely at the deadlock.
I don't know what to think anymore,
This feeling is something I abhor,
Intensionally pushing my heart below the floor,
The clock is telling me to raise my white flag,
I think it's time for myself to admit...
I'm tired.
15 fights a night,
Broken glasses, shattered windows,
Slatted doors,
Broken locks, smashed phones,
Scattered home, different tones,
Me pretending to be ok again,
You pretending to love me again,
It's not the way we want it,
Now it's better we stop it,
I'm cracking,
I'm already broken,
I don't want those pieces of me to be broken,
Love was something strong we bestowed,
But has now turned into ashes and desert like the Amazon forest,
Just let me go on,
Before I burn too.

My heart hurts my soul is depleted
I used to walk around feeling so undefeated
The pain is at a tipping point & I just can't beat it
My brain is killing me & my body follows suit
Sometimes I wonder if I should just pick it up & shoot
Early morning headaches feel like a tumour
Take 12 of these it'll make relief come sooner
Spinal tap & a few MRI's later
They say more pills will make my chances greater
Side effects put me in a dark place
Im scared when I look in the mirror I'll see my killers face
But my son shouldn't have to live through that disgrace
Why me is the answer I want to know
When I pray where do those thoughts go
I tried to be the best person I could
But my life is like a scalpel trying to cut through wood
Pull myself up by my boot straps like you knew I could
I can't say it any clearer but you still misunderstood
Strangely sweet on you
sadly, you got sick of me;
diabetic love.
Sinking in deeper,
No way to escape,
The dark and scary Reaper,
Fore told in the Book of Life.
Is this my end?
Will I ever see the light of day again?
No. My wounds, I must mend.
I must find my strength.
Stand my ground,
Face my fears.
Only then will my voice be found
I must survive.
Break the suffocating chains,
Run from the darkness.
Power will fill my veins.
I will Fight!
Fight the painful names,
The horrid memories,
The demented games
And escape My Black Abyss.
Stuck in a situation,
Not knowing what to do?
Blocked from all directions,
Tired of being sick, throwing and feeling weak,
The people I thought I can trust walked away,
I am tired of selfish people,
I am tired of being alone and fighting this without any support,
When this should be your responsibility too!
All you want to do party and play,
I am tired of facing problems one after another,
I need peace, relax and have nothing to worry,
Yet you bring hell to me!
All you care about is you and your career,
While I give my life and risk everything for us & baby,
I give up my family, my car and now I am broke and homeless,
And all you care about is you and your dreams,
It bothers me how you think & blind to see,
My dreams and goals for my life is in the trash can,
You keep asking for respect yet you cant even understand your women,
Without a cause there is no effect,
I just wish you would understand that!
This is not about who wins or looses!
This is about us fixing problems togather as ONE!
