MoreMore fool me
For hoping you would change,
You promised me the world
Yet everything’s the same.
I’ve told you that I’m broken
And I can barely cope,
You said you’d make more effort
Filling me with hope.
Actions speak louder
Than your words can ever say,
I’ve already waited forever
So I won’t wait another day.
I’m not sorry that we’re over
I’m sorry that...

blue spots The blue spots after the rain,
in-between storms,
a remainder
of our nonchalant spring
before the storms bring
knuckle-biting angst & cries. ...

The silence between the wordsI love the silence between words, because when I’m talking to her,
every time she stutters, my heartbeat waits for her words to make me alive again.
Every time she looks at me, I think that maybe she’s the one.
Every time I confess my love for her, her silence between the words makes me feel important.
Was she...

Why Dad?Why Dad?
Why did you have to go
Why did you leave me
Why did you pretend something never happened
Why did you put me in this situation
Why did you yell at me
Why did you tell me you still loved my mom
Why did you leave me with trauma
Why did you lie to me
Why did you overdose...

It never ends, does itIt's amazing, they were right!
It all gets easier in the end
The pain of grief and loss subsides
And the sun can shine again
The moments are much happier
And it all just melts away
When not that very long ago
I couldn't make it through the day
The little things become so big
When your world is all askew,
Quiet, fleeting, the passing...

Lisa's Frozen Pen
Part I
The wolf had been knocking at the door
Longer than I had realized
A young man saw an old man in the mirror
It's taken all in stride
It's so cold, where did I go?
I hadn't noticed the rust on the jailcell bars
Until I looked at all the scars
I wish I could laugh
Because of a whole heart, I...

A heart without tomorrowMy love garden remains unweeded,
Each planted flower slowly wilting.
A shadow spreads across my sunlight,
And a storm lingers without rainfall.
Sad teardrops fall from my broken heart,
No blood shed, yet my worlds fall apart.
Agony, sorrow, deep dejection—
Reflections in my shattered mirror.
My tear burns hot enough to bake bread,
Depression drapes a cloak on my head.
Love tortures like a...

Another lifeWould you act like we never met, would you make it seem like I was the easiest person to forget, I want the truth, I want you, would you walk past me like our eyes never locked on all those rainy nights, would you walk past me with the thought of “in another life.” Am...

LeavesThe bicycled leaves
pedal across the lawn
chain-linking me
to a past
fallen autumn.
When we
Could no longer be false,
exposing our true feelings.
We withered
from the cold.
Trying to rake in
"Why's"
but sometimes
love leaves,
unspoken.

Cries of Our LivesWhispering sweet desires in tearing
giggling, we forget of we're laughing
tummy sweet button does taste so yummy,
How do these moments lead right up to now?
Tasting your lips, something ever lasting,
treats of your seduction to say the least,
fingers wander to love songs from singers
blasts from window won't shiver how heat lasts,
Lust come from sweetness and not the...

Grainy BrekkiesYou can never
grasp, understand
bees keep stinging
venom that I bring
like constant ringing
of your front door bell
all these of forgotten
echoing of the years
what's of a sin I'm selling
that light so brightens
like new born flashes
no tail sweet light
stops smiling
I'm a familiarity
about to die,
hornet's pain to bring
timeless of photos
and those grainy
flashes of memories
I don't wish to see,
lapses bounces on...

reflected, wonder glinting in green eyes,
stumbling arms wrapped in
gentle padows,
tender individual silky drying strands,
elevate every blissful kiss of hair
fingers trembling, marks my scars bare...

To Die is to LiveTo Die is To Live
To die is to live in a life more complete
Where sorrow and joy in eternity meet
It's not just the, but a sacred release,
A journey to stillness, a moment of peace.
To die is to rise from the weight of the clay,
To step out of time and be swept far away.
The chains of...

RustI am a ruined house
With a rusty fence,
So many phantoms reside resting recklessly,
A clock on the mantelpiece that won't work. It's stuck staring at me,
Tick………,
The wallpaper is crumbling and fading away like my miserable memories.
It doesn't seem real even though it is.
Dreamy, dreary , dread , dead.
But the fire is...
