Your love equaled a natural disaster
That hit me square in the heart
And all the damage that it caused
Completely tore my world apart
I was completely shutdown
There was no way I could operate
I could only shelter in place
The damage done was great
I didn't see any possibility
I would be able to recover
What assistance do you hand
To a broken hearted lover
The warnings I received
They showed up too late
I wasn't close to prepared
And the damages were great
Through this disaster I suffered
There was only one man who died
He drowned all by himself
In a pool of tears he cried
When I awoke this morning
My love you weren't here
I doubt you ever do return
That is what I truly fear
If only you'd come home to me
I'd hold you dearly in My embrace
Kiss you softly on your forehead
And wipe the tears from your face
I've already forgiven you for leaving
I hope that you can forgive me
I pushed you away with my temper
This is my fault anyone can see
But I realized your love is better
Then getting loud to have control
There will be no more outburst
Think of all the happiness they stole
The air in my lungs is less important
Then you being here in my life
I'm sorry for every tear you cried
I'll be a better husband for you my wife
That night was a long and lonely night
A night to be much remembered
It was the right she said no to me
No to the love and affection I had for her
As i sat down reflecting on that
The words she said to me came to mind
She said "baby am sorry, sweetheart it's all over"
It was a night like never before
It was a night of long knives
I gathered the shred pieces of my heart
And I told myself it may be the end of us
but it was not the end of the world
I better get hold of myself and get moving
With a mended heart there are many possibilities
The night she said no became a watershed in my life
(Written 1st of September 2026)
I remember a time when
That heart of yours was mine
The love that you bestowed to me
It's for that love I still pine
Every night before I go to sleep
I make certain to always pray
Each prayer I raise up to God
Ask him to lead you home someday
And when you appear at my door
And I'm giving my last last chance
I'll love you in ways undreamed
I'll give you the perfect romance
You will feel a love unknown
The way you deserve my love to be
With the love I'll give to you
You never want a day without me
As i awoke early this morning
Here in what used to be our bed
These thoughts of you laying there
Danced aimlessly inside of my head
Those of the late nights we spent
Planning out our future together
And the promises to love each other
And how we would be in love forever
I remember waking you with a kiss
Before your eyes opened you'd smile
You'd stretch and wap me in your arms
Those moments have been gone for a while
But each one is a treasured memory
I wish I had more that was left of you
But I'm not capable of showing my love
And why you said you were through
Your picture is still in the same place
There on the stand beside my bed
There are so many memories of you
That will forever be fresh in my head
Tonight I can't sleep and as I lay here
I find myself staring at your picture
That familiar pain is building strength
There's been plenty of suffering to endure
But I don't mind the pain it causes
I believe that it's beneficial for me
It plays the roll of some reminder
So I never forget what we used to be
All the love I gladly gave to you
Was without a doubt the best I had
I don't understand how our love
Didn't last and turned out so bad
After all these years I still love you
Through the pain of my heart break
My love for you has never wavered
It's pure and true nothing at all fake
She's all dolled up, looking cool and hot, that's better than she's used to
Out on the town looking around for a guy that's better than she's used to
Looking cute in her go-getter suit, wish she were mine loving like we used to...
I see her face in the middle of the night
I lay awake and wonder why
A love so strong could ever die
And I cry...
Repeat three verses
Repeat chorus

They go forward in life
Along a parallel
He walks alone
Clutching his guitar
She walks in peace
Finally knowing her worth
Each one knowing
They mirrored the other
And each are embedded
On the other's journey
Every song and poem
Voiced their shared pain
No more shared glances
Belong in this world
Just echoes of shadowed fantasies
Linger for the next realm
(a simple breakup, in Senryus)
I said I’m “fine,” which
was absolutely true - just
not where he’s concerned.
Our story ended,
a cancelled series without
lesson or climax.
I was proud of us,
we ended things maturely,
no one told the truth
He wasn’t in my
life but somehow he never
left my contact list
.

A song for this:
Only the lonely by the Motels
This house I'm living in it's haunted
Not by ghost but by your memory
Each room holds a special moment
That was shared between you and me
Any room in the house I dare to enter
Holds me captive in sadness not fear
Each moment we shared is on display
Making me feel as though you're here
As the memories draw closer to an end
The images of us together begin to fade
The pain of you leaving becomes renewed
All because my heart has been betrayed
The happiness that's felt is short lived
Erased by this life that's gone to hell
Tormented by deceit and your memory
In this haunted house that i dwell
It all began back in September
Less than a year, what a year to remember
A hug on sight was definitely a must
The hunger for love was a hunger for lust
From the sparkle in my eyes to the passion in my soul
From the words that were spoken, to the ones never told
From the beauty with the fire
To the one with no desire
Our purpose was fulfilled and now it is so
The song came to an end, us and the video
Don’t know if any wounds in time will mend
But I’m glad to say, you’re still my friend
Can time ever be measured by a moment in the heart?
Can it ever learn to stand still for the times we are apart?
Love had its time to shine, looking back from now to then
With five loses up to date and zero yet to win.
how far will you go
what more will you do to
cause my heart to break
I wondered when you'd return.
How could you just leave me behind?
I thought you loved me.

Honorable Mention 2026
The heavy clouds of gray begin to loom;
to hide the fading sunlight from mine eyes.
The garden we once planted loses bloom;
as bitter winds bear off our hollow sighs.
The gentle petals tear away from stems;
and scatter through the chill of winter's air,
They used to shine like brilliant crimson gems;
when thou didst hold me close and call me fair.
A sudden gust of wind begins to blow;
sweeping away love and warmth now closes.
My weeping eyes reflect the afterglow;
caught within this painful storm of roses.
Yet though our fragile bonds are rent apart.
Thy ghost shall dwell forever in my heart.
"The heavy gates have finally latched behind you; the debt of your struggle is paid in full with blood and time. As you step through those golden doors, I offer you this parting gift: the quiet, shimmering realization that you are finally free. Go—and do not look back."
