My Own Heart Is My Enemy
Each time I’ve loved, the wound ran deep,
A crimson truth I could not keep.
So now my heart, in self-defence,
Builds iron walls, immense, intense.
When someone stirs that fragile flame,
I whisper harshly, call my name,
And drag myself from passion’s shore,
To guard the ache I’ve felt before.
I scold the spark, I dim the light,
I shun the warmth, embrace

Letting Go Of Past Mistakes
Pictures there upon the wall, each person once held me dear.
At times we were living together, now not one lives near.
Each has a life they must live and thoughts on which to ponder.
My life goes on, I grow old and still I can’t but wonder,
How different things could have been, if love we didn’t squander.
It’s

Just to see your mouth frothing,
and your un-consicous-ness,
and the doctor declares
all your battling and history
has been for nothing.
I still remember
your first hospital stay,
I bought you chewies
that were your favs,
You said "thank-you for this"
With a cheery smile,
though it was the storm
of what was to come.
I asked God to forgive you,
so many fricking times!!!

How We Can Learn To Love
When you see others hurting and your heart doesn’t cry,
Look inside and ask yourself the answer to your why?
The path we’re given here on Earth is so we can learn.
To begin the learning process, we must feel concern.
For each to evolve while on this Earth, each must transform.
Right choices made along the way seldom cause

Your Signature
your imprints on my throat
they all speak my biggest truth of
the night we both held each other close
and your lips marked my whole body
your imprints on my throat
a sword you entered into my heart
watched me bleed and smile
don't rain those tears tonight

Trigger
let me be the danger you carry around
darling place your gun on my head
pull its trigger when it feels too much
even if i'm hanging by the thread
I'm bleeding while lying on the ground
my imbecile lover's sword in my chest
let go of my hand and don't be my savior
save yourself before heaven falls upon us

I'M a Poet
I'M a Poet
Listen! I'm a poet,cause
I'm got many hurts
From them ,never want to lose
So, I leave false dirts.
And pick up pen to express,
Never abuse them ,
I write to their happiness,
Pray, with saying their name.
Alright,I don't love like a poet,
I'M a poet who loves you!
And that love more great
Than a poet whom know you.
Remember! loyalty exist

Heartbroken yet not broken
“I’d rather love a million times and have my heart broken every time, than hold a permanently empty heart forever.” –H.C. Paye
...........................................................
Pure wickedness sets you apart,
Meanwhile, true love you led me to assume.
You purposefully broke my heart,
Leaving my vases filled with wilted blooms.
Yet I deter not; my heart lives to love,
Through many heartbreaks, still I'm

The Darkest Hour
The darkest hour comes with pain that's insane,
Excruciating, unrelenting pain.
The sobbing and gasping are so abrupt.
The heart is broken; the body gives up.
The darkest hour tries to take control,
Searching through the suffering for the soul.
Disillusioning evil tells a lie.
“Death will set you free, so let yourself die.”
Numbness begins to smother the feeling.
The chaos of your

Whisky-Stained Silhouette
a whiskey stained silhouette outlines your figure
and the spiced smell of your breath lingers in the air
drunken lies in the late hours of the night make us both forget about how bitter, our lives taste
filling your soul with fire and regret every sip you take
swallow the flame, it sets fire to the heart
the burning

Hardest Goodbye
You lit up the room,
Raising the vibe,
Made sure that you always,
Protected your tribe.
Way too young to leave,
This shouldn't be true,
Never once did I imagine,
Doing life without you.
Such a kind soul,
Through and through,
A devastating loss to so many,
Who knew and loved you.
My hearts been torn apart,
Leaving an aching scar,
You're the hardest goodbye,
I've said so far

Let It Be
I gave my heart, it bled so deep,
Tried to hold on, but couldn’t keep,
Nights were cold, tears fell like rain,
Whispered low, let go the pain.
I searched for love, but it slipped free,
Flickers lost where light should be,
Through all the hurt, I learned to see—
Maybe sometimes you just gotta let it be.
