Premium MemberWHY

You don't know how I feel; you don't know what I've seen.  
All I know is I have a dream,  
A dream I lost you and can't bring you back.  
To your heart is where my love is at.  
So I ask myself every night and day,  
Does she love me? I don't know what to say.  
All I know is I'm hurting inside,  
Trying to win this thing called pride.  
Fighting off every aspect to make myself look shameful.  
Please come take away this hurt; take it away, it's too painful.  
So pray for me and keep my thoughts near.  
This is the end, so lend me an ear!


Premium MemberHeart Keeps Holding On

With what you've done to me 
And what you put me through 
Even with this broken heart 
Why is it I'm still in love with you 

There should be no problem 
For me to finally walk away 
You could no longer hurt me 
With the games you like to play 

That's not what my heart wants 
And I'm not ready to let go of you 
You know my heart will forgive you 
No matter what you put it through 

My heart can't take much more 
And the pain is too much for me 
My heart keeps holding on to you 
Why does it refuse to set you free

Premium MemberA broken heart

My heart never heals 
it lingers 
from broken promises 
broken dreams 
my happiness went up and smoke 
leaving loneliness 
I put on a fake disguise 
while searching 
coping with deep agonizing pain 
these emotional wounds 
scratched open 
watching lovers frolic in public 
in time I hope to heal 
move on 
rebuild 
till then 
I seek to forgive myself

Premium MemberLittle Boy

You’ve been carrying so much suffering inside 

Ever since you were a little boy 

All these feelings you’ve learned to hide 

The thought of intimacy turns you coy 

 

I will never give up on you 

For you need my love the most 

 

When it becomes unfamiliar to feel safe  

When the storms of chaos feel like home 

When the idea of romance makes you chafe 

Aimlessly, your heart will infinitely roam 

 

I will never give up on you 

For you need my love the most 

 

Is there a cure for your pain? 

Will you keep pushing me away? 

Will you love me or further abstain? 

I can tell you that I want to stay 

 

I will never give up on you 

For you need my love the most

Premium MemberDukkha

I suffered double the heartbreaks
For the way I left those two behind.
I also suffered so long for their sakes,
So I wouldn't be alone with my mind.

I suffered double all of the pain
That I caused for everyone I know.
I also suffered so much for their own gain,
So I learned we all reap what we all sow.

I suffered double the regret
For the mistakes I made in vain.
I also suffered so many years of shame,
So now all I want is to be me again.

I suffered double the solitary time,
For all the time I wasted waiting for others.
I also suffered from losing loves so sublime,
So now I am choosing one from many lovers.


Premium MemberUnworthy Love

It's clear that you love me
But i don't understand why
After the things I have done
And all times I made you cry

I've let you down many times
And put those tears on your face
I hate myself for creating you pain
Along with all your disgrace

I cannot fathom how you felt
Each time your heart was broke
The pain and shame you hid
Behind depressions dark cloak

You stood up for me each time
Even knowing I was in the wrong
Your love must unconditional
And it's grace I do not belong

You deserve someone who's worthy 
And who isn't the reason you to cry
This is difficult because I love you
But it time that we say goodbye

Premium MemberBetween Denial and Reality

You’re not here with me tonight 
But you haven’t been in awhile 
I believe you’re coming home again 
That’s the beauty of being in denial 

That ship has long ago set sail
Any bridges burned and torn down
With my shattered heart and regrets 
I’m a failed king without a crown 

I turned a love so amazing and pure
Into this loneliness and heartbreak 
With out of my life is falling all apart 
I caused more pain than I can take 

I’m searching for any sign of hope 
Stuck between denial and reality 
Praying you will knowing you won’t 
Some day come back home to me

Premium MemberThe Twine that Binds

Out of my mind and lost in time
Holding on to a love unkind
Unwind the twine that cruelly binds
Me to my severed valentine

Her voice still calls through echoing halls
As madness clings to crumbling walls 
All consumed in lingering perfume
Her presence like a ghost haunting this room.

Left behind—a love consigned 
A fantasy born within my mind
She gave a heart that was never mine
Loving lines that failed to rhyme

With deep regret, our fate was set
Your piercing dagger I’ll not forget
I curse your name in stabbing pain
All that remains—this haunting refrain

Premium MemberA Tear

A single tear is all I can give,
For my body is drained of that pleasure.
I’m too weak to remember the years I lived,
Or the days too heavy to measure.

So where does that leave me falling?
What is it that could cure me?
A single walk would tell me nothing -
But at least for a moment I’d be free.

Premium MemberI would pull the sun down from the skies

Given armor to stave off the burning, I would pull the sun down from the skies 
Falling away from heavens light is showing me you are numb to this blistering pain; without feeling it, you and I will never synchronize.
A point now frozen in time is what I have conceptualized
You show without remorse, there will always be, armageddon in your eyes
Floating throughout the infinite; I seek asylum with you, how shall I surrender my disguise?
Inevitable as these heavens fall, am I allowed within your light?
Or in the ensuing hell, will I find you as my minds paradise?
Holding the mask of my sequester, you illuminate the graveyard behind my eyes
Even if death shattered a thousand suns; love can not be burned or buried if it was just a hole where emptiness lies.

Premium MemberI'M Missing Your Face

I wish I'd known that less was more
The next day, I was passed out on the floor
Pain is seldom permanent, but tonight it's killing me
I wish you understood the me I wanted to be
I'm missing your face, you're in my head
There are so many things I wish I would have said
You said so much without a word ever being
I'm empty inside, never saw what you were fleeing
Consider this poem a testament
In my heart you are not a sediment

Premium MemberPain of Ardor's Woes

A cup to slake the parch of thirsty lips
Spilled from heart to goblet, with love twas filled
Words penned from the nib of inked fingertips
Bouquet of wine breathed before being swilled

Seductive the taste, fervid the senses
In pursuit of desire's indulgent throes
Breaching love's barriers, hurdling fences
Therein lies proof and pain of ardor's woes

Elation lasts 'til sparks turn to ashes
Afterglow fades and impassioned flames die
Welling to surface, tears moist'ning lashes
Parting's ne'er sweet with whispers of 'goodbye'

Juliet once smiled from her balcony
Doomed in Shakespeare's romantic tragedy

Premium MemberEchoes

Moments shared.

Flawed by design.

Now just memories.

Scattered across time.

Fleeting recalls.

Renewed disdain.

Karma aborted love.

For our past due pain.

Premium MemberRaining Within

Frequent the Showers
Feeds the rain deep in one’s heart…
Gone the sunlit smile
Now no rainbow resides here
Just the rhythm of the pain.

Premium Member-I Close My Eyes

I need to escape
To free this pain
So I close my eyes 
To be with you again

There you are 
My missing three
The memories of you
Forever comfort me

I want you back
That will never be
l close my eyes
So you are with me
