Fragments of Hope

My soul feels shattered
Dreams lie all scattered
A heart once beating with fire,
Now cold and battered
The sky once painted with blue,
Is torn and tattered
Yet in each fragment of pain,
A hope is gathered
For even dust of despair,
Can bloom when weathered

This cant be the end

The only time I feel alive
Is when I feel like Im about to die
Ive cried all the tears 
I can cry
Voice gone from asking why
Holding hands running away
No goodbyes
Lost together losing ourselves 
Too proud to ask for help
Tired & shotout
Full of regret & doubt
Drown out all of the screams & shouts
Fighting and don't even
Know what its about
The silence is so damn loud...
Whispers of love try to get 
Through to you, like we speak
Different languages & don't comprehend 
No energy left to pretend 
..this can't be the end

My fated escape

regretfully, as I wave goodbye
a single tear drips from my eye
This was something that I
had always known would be one day
There was nothing 
either of us could say
This once magical connection
could never have been saved
Both swore we were willing to change
But after the ways we each had behaved
The pain & doubt could not
be erased from our brains
Souls bonded by fate
magnetically drawn to one another,
Had set the stage for the most soul changing, eye opening, painfully magical escape..


Emotional Bond

In the midst of a raging storm dance,
A man of strength takes up his stance,
Against the storm that seeks to tend,
The ties that bind, he won't rescind.

His weary eyes survey the bed,
Where his little fragile boy lay,
A little fighter, heart so bold,
Seeking comfort as life unfolds.

Father's gaze meets son's own light,
Their spirit connected so tight,
In a moment of silence, they find peace,
Laughter and songs, their emotions release.

The boy, fragile, yet full of grace,
Beams with a smile upon his face,
Knowing his time is drawing near,
He holds the vision, crystal clear.

"Heaven awaits," the boy proclaims,
"Together still, in timeless frames.
I'll be your guide, your angel true,
Watching over, forever new."

With heavy heart, the father weeps,
A love so deep, eternally keeps,
Their bond alive, though world's apart,
He carries on, with broken heart.

Through storms and trials, he'll endure,
His little boy's love ever pure,
A whispered serenade, their strong connection,
In cherished memories, they both belong.

I Know Them All

I know them all 

I know your deepest secrets,
I know your biggest regrets.

I know your deepest scars,
I saved you from the worst snares.

I Know Your Biggest fears,
I have wiped your smallest tears.

I know your strongest truth,
I know all your ruth.

I know Your weakest lies,
I know your 100 tries.

I will shield you from danger,
So make me no stranger.

I want to set you free,
Just like a growing tree.

I will find the broken piece of your soul,
and once again I will make you whole.

I will make all your fantasies come true,
standing by and making your dream pursue.

I know all your pain,
I will bear all your strain.

so please don't say me "no",
so please don't let me go.

I will bear all your strain.

Premium Member Avoidance Attachment Kills Relationships

The sadness inside me clings to me like glue
I saw the love
I felt it
I saw the detachment
I felt it
I saw the avoidance
I felt it
but I love her
She felt it
It hurts to see it sabotage 
Love
To be swiped away like a teardrop falling down
Splinter fragments of Love 
Painfully Piercing my soul
A slow death comes to me
As without love
I am no more 
Blackness absorbs my soul

Brokenheart Road

He was driving a Chevrolet with a roof that would never shut 
His car was shimmering but some strings needed to be cut 
There was rubbish that he desired nevermore 
Left behind on Road 66 with an unrequited Lenore 
Her dress was covered in sand and tears 
She tried to outrun his absence but he switched gears 
Lost in the desert, drawing hearts with dirt 
No witness to testify of the woman's hurt 
Her path was paved with good intentions 
But she's the kind of person who deserved better destinations 
The man told the police she has disappeared 
And hid the fact she was also brokenhearted 
Deep inside in her despair was a burning hunger 
He could lie as a singer but he will also die as a sinner 
Pride tainted her soul with a yearning for revenge 
Isn't it strange how quick she learnt to estrange? 
There's no shame into killing a hypocrite coward 
Would be her catchphrase in the psychiatric ward

Impressionist Poem 

Slab of meat
Slab of stone
A fractured heart

Brokenheart

You broke my heart
You played with my feeling 
You took my heart away
I should of left when I had a chance
But I stayed because I Love You
But look at me now 
Crying on my pillow 
for you 
and you never care 
you told me that I am a great women
But its just you 
you told me you sorry for playing with me and I just need to let go
But how the hell you want me to do that
after I just gave you my all 
after I gave you my heart, mind, body and soul
you broke my heart and I dont know what to do
but just sit on my bed and cry
for a man who never even cared 
just lied to me because he didnt want to lost me

Brokenheart

Time comes and time goes.
All the while my heart breaks.
The memories of us flows threw my mind.
The tears continue to fall.
My soul longs for you.
My heart calls out to you.
Yet you refuse to answer their calls.
I know I said I needed time and that i was confused and scared.
I thought you would give me time.
I never thought you would leave me.
My love for you still flows stronge.
So just remember I will always love you
