He thought she smiled when times were tough,
But never saw it wasn’t enough.
He held her hand but never knew
The weight she carried out of view.
Blind to her tears, blind to her cries,
He missed the truth behind her eyes.
The love she gave, the dreams she bled,
Were slipping through the words unsaid.
She whispered soft, her voice grew thin,
But all he gave was what’s within.
His love was there, but eyes were closed,
To all the hurt she never showed.
Blind to her tears, blind to her cries,
He missed the truth behind her eyes.
The love she gave, the dreams she bled,
Were slipping through the words unsaid.
She longed for more, but silence grew,
He couldn’t feel what she lived through.
Her heart was loud, yet fell unheard,
He never caught her quiet words.
Blind to her tears, blind to her cries,
He missed the truth behind her eyes.
The love she gave, the dreams she bled,
Were slipping through the words unsaid.
he tells me to do bad things,
things no child should have to hear.
he thrives on all the darkness,
the trauma, and the fear.
he continues to try to break me,
he tells me to hurt myself
I try to block out his sinister words
but nothing seems to help.
his like a whisper in my ear,
or rather a voice inside my head.
which I believe is so much worse
than a monster under the bed.
he is everywhere that I am,
he and I are one,
he lives and breathes and tortures me
and pulls my strings til I'm undone.
he's driven me to the edge
and he made me do very bad things.
pills, powder, blades, and blood,
he's the master who pulls my strings.
one day I'll break from under his rule,
I'll live without the voice.
I'll eat and drink and live my life,
and it'll all be my choice.
until that day comes,
I'll live with him right here,
for him and I, we are one.
I'm my own greatest fear...
Their smiles beamed, for they dreamed together,
sharing Barbies, goodies, and even hands.
Aware of my aloneness, it seemed I wasn't there;
even Brown Bear didn't understand.
Staring into a disquieted mind, I sulked my secluded self.
Translucent tears stained my face a pale gray,
as bleak as rain clouds, blocking sun's reach.
Furrowed brows, droopy cheeks, and thin lips
transformed me into a monsterous beast.
Is this hideous, shunned image who I am?
Affixed friends would glow and float into true beauty
like sun painting the beach.
Their smiles were like whispy horizons, eyes glazed like sand granules, feet gliding like waves to the shore.
Are the pretty girls worth so much more?

Can you feel the grain
Of the leather as you ride
Not knowing if the pain will slide
From your heart when you wake up all the hurt inside
From a love who promised to stay at your side?
But she's gone pulling with her your last ounce of pride.
Nothing left to do but slowly ride.
Can you feel the pain of the tears cried in vain?
Can you see the rain
Pulling slowly on the sky
Led by night winds that you prayed would die
Before dawn brings her chill upon your eastward flight
Towards the hills? Rebuild the ashes of your life
From a ruin ruled by dogs who prowl behind the light.
They guard the one you have loved for half your life.
Can you see the stain of the tears cried in vain?
Can you taste your fate
Spread before you? Has she lied
Igniting dry brush in your shattered mind?
Broken souls always gather in the rocks to hide.
But this world is the one you’ll come to know in time
Sharing jealous threats as guilt consumes your pride
With the vagabonds and keepers of the night.
Can you taste the trace of the tears cried in vain?
Is that the morning train
Whose call comes floating through the pines?
Stirring life from sleep the mountains rise
To the light and to the new breath of the morning. Bight
Back your wounds, free your demons and just look at life
Lived in full and though tomorrow’s still a two-day ride,
You’ll find Love’s longing lying at your side.
Is there much to gain from the tears cried in vain?
Written with a tip of the hat to Bernie Taupin
You thought you would hurt me
You thought I would cry
You though you would break me
You thought I would die
You went off with some girl
You thought you were happy
You thought I still wanted you
You thought you still had me
But when you crawled back
And asked for my heart
It was you all along
Whose torn all apart
Love is like life
There's joy and there's pain
And there's winning and losing
And you caught my flame.
I'm the volcano's lava,
You're the Pompeii next door!
You're the mallet of rubber,
I'm the hammer of thor!
I'm a powerful hydra,
Mightier than death!
I create necks of steel,
One for each you behead!
You thought I'd be broken--
Mister, you were wrong.
You let go for another,
And want me to hold on?
When you call my name,
And write poems to sing,
Don't expect the same,
You are nothing.
I'm the coral of oceans,
I grow in waters clear.
You're the cactus of desserts,
You are pricked with your tears!
I'm the admin of armies!
You're my captured spy.
You're the man in the coffin,
I'm the dove that flies high!
You thought I'd be broken--
Mister, you were wrong.
You let go for another,
And want me to hold on?
When you call my name,
And write poems to sing,
Don't expect the same,
You are nothing.
I'm hurting inside,
My feelings are fried,
I've tried and tried,
Now I'm terrified.
I cried so many times,
Lied about my own crimes,
Hiding them in rhymes.
Priming my abilities,
To see through fallacies.
A disease I didn't ask for,
Yet my consent brings more.
It's been such a chore,
I don't want it anymore,
I'm poor and my body's sore,
They fed my core with lies,
My food is poisoned by dyes,
Pesticides decide the fate,
Of the vegetables I ate.
Feeding our vision full of hate,
Now no one wants to participate.
Trained straight through a TV,
They were programming me.
Making me think I was happy,
Now my body feels crappy,
I'm sappy and tired,
My system mis wired.
I fired the chiefs,
They were more like a thief,
Steeling your belief,
A false sense of relief,
Feeding us all grief,
Leaving us all hurting inside.
Why doesn't life always go the way you plan
I was sitting in our hotel room relaxing with my man
My sister rings my mobile with some awful news
There is a tough decision and now I have to choose
Dad's in hospital and mum put in local nursing care
I am in a quandary should we stay here or dash back there
I was desperate for a short break after my husbands cancer
We thought a four day holiday would be the simple answer
Yesterday was a day of an extreme high and low
Met up with an on-line friend I had a rosy glow
Then I get the bad news my heart is filled with gloom
Now I'm sitting wide awake in my hotel room
Made the tough decision to stay and have our break
They are being cared for and my sanity is at stake
Some people may not understand why I don't flee
The answer is simple - they really don't know me

Everybody talks about love
People glorify love with attributes
They say love is this , love is that
We all hide the truth!!
Love is always like the body lying in state
Nobody wants to further soil the clay
Love is selfish
And that selfish love is what we all crave
We want others hurt to feel loved by that fave
We say love is beautiful
And nobody wants to admit love is wicked
But that wicked love is what we so desire
We sometimes kill if that's what our hearts require
We say love is Trustworthy
But love is deceitful
And that deceitful love is what we hold on to with alacrity
We all spew and consume lies for emotions' security
Love is flawed
Love is rogue
But Hey,
Love shouldn't be perfect , it just needs guidance
Love's priority must focus on humanity
Commitment of Love to humanity takes care of its (love) excesses
love is us!!!
Secondly I had loved a man much better
Than the first who had left me so bitter.
He was as much a genius, a pipefitter,
But eventually I fell out of love years later.
He was more dedicated to his work though,
To the point I felt out of his lifestyle's flow.
He made me feel lonely at home eventually,
So I tried to return to my first, unfortunately.
Then his controlling nature showed more,
But I was so codependent I could never soar.
Our love had slowly but surely dissipated,
As I began to lose belief in love being fated.
I know the way I left both had hurt them,
But to be fair I was addicted to their venom:
Their possessiveness, their need for control,
I tolerated it all to the point it took its toll.
HURT FEELINGS SCARLET LETTER
How am I suppose to be better
When you wrote me this scarlet letter
All those hurtful words you've said
Every letter was capitalized in red
Hurting feelings
How am I suppose to forgive
When I'm a sinner from the crib
Now that I'm born again
Repentive sworn in love arms open
Feelings hurting
I must forgive those transgressions
Your hurtful inerasable letters
All those hurtful words you've said
Every letter was capitalized in red
All those hurtful words you've said
Every letter was capitalized in red
Now I feel and I've forgiven better
You who wrote me this scarlet letter
