The summer we always shared,
Those nights—just memories we had
Everything vanished in one go—
The ache remains? I don’t think so.
It’s just that I’m guilty of letting you go.
I didn’t try harder—that frustrates me, though I never let it show.
If I had spoken,
Things would’ve been different.
But the promises made on your mum’s deathbed aren’t meant to be broken,
Even if they shut the door of happiness you always left open.
This will be my last presence, before I shift abroad,
And my eyes must be paid back by dear Lord—
To bear and endure the most excruciating scene,
One which’ll be witnessed by every part of me.
It’s not unavoidable, though my brother wants me to see,
How you two confess your “love” for each other to the world,
And you’ll soon be a couple —while I clap with a smile,
Pretending I’ve heard the most wonderful news in a while.
A final caution—don’t look at me while walking down the aisle,
’Cause then I won’t be able to look back into your eyes.
I can’t let my feelings out on the best day of your life,
I gotta accept the fate,
That it’s just you and Jere and 10/10 I rate.
A girl, torn by life's heavy hand,
Mind speaks true, heart's demand.
Her head's clear voice, a rational plea,
Her heart's deep wish, to just be free.
Both sides, a truth within the strife,
Choosing between a balanced life.
One leads to sense, the other to soul,
Neither, alone, can make her whole.
The story complete, with joy and pain,
A delicate choice, that will remain.
For every piece of happiness, there's also a piece of unhappiness. If you haven't told both sides, you haven't told the whole story and in all things stay the same.

noose on my heart

Great.
then what about my girlfriend?
Sometimes extraordinary earthquakes radically rearrange the landscape
Sometimes continents collide, violently vying for the same space
Sometimes the savanna becomes a mountain range dividing two valleys
Sometimes your two best friends are a girl and a guy
she likes him
you like her
Sometimes the savanna becomes a mountain range dividing two valleys
sometimes you wander into a romance novel
not ready for
a love triangle
Sometimes continents collide, violently vying for the same space
sometimes relationships shift and you realize
you are not
the best man
Sometimes extraordinary earthquakes radically rearrange the landscape
sometimes your two best friends get married
and you need
new best friends
There's you, there's me,
Then him, All three,
All living in a lie,
Your love, our love,
His love of me,
Is that which makes me cry,
Sad is the woman,
With two dear loves,
She's sad 'cause she can't let go,
Heart-broken the men,
She's stuck in the middle,
Twisted love that continues to grow
A mystical UNEARTHLINESS of beauty..
She ENCOMPASSED a shell of hidden kernel.
Hot ice burned in lukewarm APATHY...
In REVERENCE ..was a jumbled love triangle.
There was compassion in CONDEMNATION...
There was CONSTERNATION in confession....
PREDILECTIONS tortured three minds in entangle.

Ladies and gentleman
Breaking news proving
The great conspiracy theory
Was far from a hoax -
Early this morning Jack Frost
Guilt-ridden and repentant
Turned himself in to the authorities
Admitting to his gruesome crime
Jack Frost confessed it was he
who assassinated Sir Humpty Dumpty
By the great wall of China
in broad daylight in front of hundreds
of witnesses who never came forward to testify
The coverup seemed it would never be solved
The assassin has been apprehended
The long-term mystery has been solved
Though the motive remains sketchy at this time
It is rumored that there was a love triangle
With the international superstar Miss Piggy

Forever joy, their company,
my true love and mother nature,
a love triangle, true rapture.
The truth, this is no fantasy.
You, me, nature, pure bliss, such joy!
Nature, our guide, her choice, her ploy.
We take her hand, holding tightly!
The sights we see, the things we learn,
we thank her, but we feel her burn!
Both feeling her concern, truly!
Pollution an unsightly mess,
we felt guilty, we must confess!
She smiled, put us at ease, kindly!
Like we inadvertently did,
we would never try, her to kid!
Forever joy their company,
the truth this is no fantasy!
We take her hand, holding tightly!
Both feeling her concern, truly!
She smiled, put us at ease, kindly!
Constanza Poem
Since
The prince
Saw the maid
While on parade,
He determined she
A timid wife would be.
In palace they were wed
And proceeded to royal bed.
There brutality revealed that he
Had neither conscience nor morality.
His depraved abusiveness did not abate,
So twenty years of misery became her fate.
Pretending to obey, she slyly managed to hide
Her inner deep revulsion till the hated despot died
Quite suddenly from cyanide amid her silent laughter.
So the new widow reigned as queen happily forever after.
sitting by the window
watching the drizzling rain
discussing the fine details
of his imminent departure...

"Love triangle"! I recon, it's too much!
We have to be ashamed to mention this things.
Of course, men know - all ladies have a such
(I like with haircut, and under lovely strings)
Tom knew he was going to get the axe,
running around having panic attacks,
farmer's wife wanting a restaurant buffet,
she ended up saving Tom's neck in the fray,
Tom hugging and kissing her all day to repay,
the farmer got upset without delay,
caught them hugging right on the couch,
the farmer ended up punching Tom right in the mouth,
Farmers wife buying him a greyhound bus pass,
not knowing how long Tom was going to last,
not wanting to end up on a platter or in a soup,
Tom kissed her good-bye and finally flew the coop,
Tom thought about her often and how she acted so blessedly,
thinking of his friends and family he started getting melancholy,
on a mission to save some of the turkeys from next years holiday,
he started handing out the health benefits of vegetarian recipes.

When a man brings his wife some flowers without reason
You can bet your sweet bippy there's definitely treason
Flowers are quite nice
But really don't suffice
However large sums of money would deal with the demons
Yearnings so incredibly wide and deep
yet stagnant in the zone of a brother
charity and gifts, expect her to keep
follows a route to the hands of another
she leaves the newest car to chase a Jeep
the third heart shockingly says don't bother
thus, into another Life it wants to creep
but gets responses as light as the feather
these approaches serve as a badly timed raid
receiving brutal defenses with no cure
two guys and two ladies on a tight braid
each so difficult even to procure
every hopeful open heart is afraid
the first guy, the last girl wants to secure.
We are so different you and ................ I
I couldn’t behave like you have............. NEVER
You are so self centered...I want, I........ WANT
Guess we need to stop all forms of.........CONTACT
She’s the one you really want to be ........WITH
You don’t care about me, it’s all about......YOU
Don’t cross my path ever ......................AGAIN
