Slicked back hair
red shorts
no shirt
warm fall day
Running
from family
from work
from responsibilities
words are barely used
no tears
no arguments
just interference
There's a better place on the top of the hill
but its not
More hills
There is a breeze
and he clutches it
it's been a long time
No one understands why he'd trade
comfort for pain
Normal life for change
miniscule details become important
as the breeze is now cold air
There were many paths to have taken
but he chose the easy one.
Men also cry
To all my beautiful women world wide
Am relating with you all now
Please listen to this call of mine
Do you know men also cry
Yes we also bleed
Why because men carry love at heart
Yes we are always protective
This is part of our nature
So I plead to you beautiful women world wide
Please respect a struggling man
Support a brother to grow with you
We need you women in our life
We love to protect and care for our women
We have great respect for our mothers
We can’t push ahead with out the support of you women
So hear me out my beautiful sisters and women world wide
Love respect men
In this way life will be better for the future of the next generation
Stop the violence on men my dear women of virtue
I tell you all no lie
Men also cry
To all the good women world wide
Supporting their men God bless you
I love you all
To all the women egotistic and disrespectful to men for nothing or for their selfish reasons
Once more i tell you no lie again
Men also cry
Life is slipping through my hands
I'm slowly losing control
It's heartbreaking to watch
As it kills my soul
What caused this to happen
It's difficult for me to tell
The pain is still fresh for me
And had to come from hell
My heart has been broken
It happened because of you
You shattered it to pieces
When you said we're through
I believed we were doing well
And together we were happy
But obviously I was wrong
Our problems I didn't see
Now you're moving on with life
While I want to be alone
Your newly found happiness
Has left me to cry and moan
All I ever wanted for you
Was for you to be happy
I guess what hurts the most
Is it's not being with me
It's clear that you love me
But i don't understand why
After the things I have done
And all times I made you cry
I've let you down many times
And put those tears on your face
I hate myself for creating you pain
Along with all your disgrace
I cannot fathom how you felt
Each time your heart was broke
The pain and shame you hid
Behind depressions dark cloak
You stood up for me each time
Even knowing I was in the wrong
Your love must unconditional
And it's grace I do not belong
You should have someone deserving
Who won't be the reason you to cry
This is difficult because I love you
But it time that I say goodbye
I can't let myself break your heart
I've done it too many times before
I need to separate myself from you
So i can never sadden you anymore
Last night I dreamed of you
I held you close against me
I knew the second I woke up
You would become a memory
Why does my mind play tricks
That sadden and deceive me
It's as though my mind is trying
To purposely lead me to misery
I wish you could come home
But that's not an option anymore
With all that's been said and done
It's impossible to even the score
I'm unaware of what's to follow
On this journey to heal my heart
I don't believe anything will dull
The pain of us living life apart
Children of Divorce
Divorce
A curse
On a family
Who once was happy
Never to feel the same
Feeling like they are to blame
For this never ending game
Just wanting to be the children they were before
But they will always be the children of divorce
Children of divorce
Feeling dead
Nowhere to turn
Dead beat ex
I'm stuck
No way of freeing myself
Finances so intertwined
Like a tumour
Attached to something vital
"We can't operate I'm afraid.
Too risky"
How did I let this happen?
So insidious
So slow
A parasite. Unseen, leaching, infecting, invading, taking, taking, taking.
Eventually, clarity. The alternative.
So often dismissed now better than the present.
But I must pay for my blindness.
I must pay the price for hope.
I cannot be set free
Like a prison sentence.
And, by the way,
Don't bother looking up
Don't pray or ask for divine help.
Help,
If there is any,
Is ground level.
Friends, family, gestures, kind words, hugs, a sympathetic emoji in a motivational text.
You've got this
You are strong
I believe in you.
No choice. Hold tight, wait for better days.
Nothing is permanent.
Lean into the love and the sun will shine again some day.
My heart is breaking in pieces
And being ripped out of me
This heartache is for the ones
I broke without showing mercy
Living this life without you
The pain is all that I can take
And what makes it even worse
Is that I caused this heartbreak
If I were able to go back in time
And alter all that I did wrong
You be here in my arms tonight
Which is right were you belong
But I can't go back in time
And resolve the things I did
I'm stuck in reality with regret
With a heartache I cannot rid
The Specter
Your spent to long
Searching for fallen stars
Your moon slipped away
I hope your wishes were
Worth the price you paid
You failed the one
Who needs you most
And now you must confront the ghost
This immense pain in my chest
Has my heart aching and breaking
There's a hurricane of hurt in me
All the pain it is giving I'm taking
With gale force winds of sadness
Causing swells of tears in my eye
As I'm holding on for dear life
I ask myself the reason why
Why couldn't I love you more
Why was it that we had to fight
Why couldn't i make us work
Why can't I make this right
I've been sitting here wondering
If you'll come home someday
Will this pain in me subside
Its causing my mind to fray
I'm caught in this hurricane
It seems all hope is lost
But I'll keep holding on to you
No matter what the cost
There it is again
That coy, sheepish look
I've seen every deception
Written down in your book
So clever, you think
You're alibi bound
But the expression you make
As your eyes dart around
Searching and fumbling
You stutter your vowels
But the bile you'll spit
Will come straight from your bowels
So spin your dark lies
Go on and deceive
I'm packing my bags
Oh what a web you weave
If I could take it back the bad
Know that I would do so fast
Retrieve every hurtful word
Before the hatred was amassed
We would go back to the timel
Our love was perfect and fun
And you'd look at me and smile
Before all of the bad was done
To there never being any fights
When it was happiness and love
Do you remember being that way
Before the anger rained from above
We thought we'd be together forever
But now I guess we'll never tell
Because somewhere along the way
Our love was turned into hell
Are only 3 years of marriage
We have both come to know
We can't continue this anymore
Its time one of us must go
Understand it's difficult for me
To be walking out that door
But it hurts me to stay here
And continue to hurt you more
Know that I truly do love you
But I don't know how to love you
I put the pain on your face
And I know it's in your heart too
To show you how much I care
I'll tell you what I'm going to do
I'm packing all my things
Then I'm going to divorce you
It's gonna break your heart
But I'll never hurt you again
And in time you find a new love
A d your story with him will begin
And though I'm dying inside
I must tell you goodbye
Please move on and enjoy life
I'm going to sit here and cry
flowers came today
my heart caressed each petal
my brain threw them out
Ghost
I have become a shadow
A mere silhouette in your heart
I have become that flicker of flame
You will soon blow out
I have become that old worn sweater
You will soon throw away
I have become that favorite book
You no longer find time to read
I have become that memory
You will soon forget
