Short Deep Down You Know Poems

We all have choices to make.
Deep down, we know what we can live with, 
and what we have to let go. 
There are two roads in front of us,
we must choose what road we take.
And no matter how hard it is, 
sometimes the only choice we are left with is I Love You, goodbye....

She walks alone in the darkness
She hears footsteps and a quiet whisper
She slows her pace 
She speaks out loud 
I know your there lurking in the darkness of night
Cowering in shadows avoiding the moons light
With your red eyes glowing
Pure white fangs showing
You prowl with a ghastly haunt 
Deep down i know its my soul you want...

Because of this world we live in
We are sometimes left all alone
People may jeer and laugh
Cruelty on their part is shown

We sometimes wonder
If it's worth it all
That's Satan's demons
Watching to see if we fall

Deep down we know, too,
God is still on the throne.
When we slip and start to fall
He's there to help, not alone...

I study the glass
The troubling sight
But can’t see past
The horrid fright

The soul I see
Is not my own
It couldn’t be
This isn’t home

I count the lines
Brow to chin 
Afraid to find
Who dwells within

Deep down I know
I’m losing touch
We change and grow
I know this much 

But when it’s time
For your descend
You won’t feel fine
But might pretend...

"The Quest"

Struggling for the answers, we work in restless theme
To find a way to peace at last,  to awaken from this dream
Deep down we know truths hidden, why were here at all
I guess to learn were empty and awake from Adams fall.
This loneliness seems real, Eve's apples cure is pain
Were not meant to wander lost, we live to see again...

Just to be in your embrace.
To see your face have a smile, 
that everyone for miles can see.
With your eyes that are bright as can be. 
Will you be that way with me?
I guess we will have to wait and see.
And what will be, will be. Will
you have the patience or will you
turn out to be tenacious?
Will you be gracious as a flower,
Because deep down you know 
my love is true power!...

There, in the ocean of fire
lies my dark desire
if I said I were strong enough to resist
I would be a LIAR.
Insatiable hunger festers inside
from myself I can not hide
against weak walls I punch and kick
deep down I know I am sick.
But, what is a man without struggle
whom against fate he must tussle
trying to be righteous and good within
to force myself to abstain from sin....

Forever that i am here, i am here for you
Remember truth is honesty in who we are
I accept you just the way that you are
Everything doesn't have to be shared
Nothing shall break our friendship bonds
Deep down you know what i say is true
Some people may get jealous of our bond
How they deal with it is their own choice
I have nothing but respect for who you are
Please accept my hand of friendship...

I know
Trying to stay up in this crazy world of chaos
I care
All my close ties are gone or lost
I know
I fear if I don't get myself together I will be lost
I care
Deep down I know things are not as bad as they seem
I know
I feel like I can see you crystal clear in my dreams
I care that I know




About a year ago a really close friend of mine accidentally took his own life. This was how I 
dealt with it....

Love God with all your heart
  with all your soul and all your might
Give generously; always do your part
  Deep down, you know what's right

And love your neighbor as yourself
  Be his best friend if you can
Treat him like your favorite brother
  ~ That you've met is in God's plan

How do you put into words
feelings you'd rather not have?
This isn't how it started
And this isn't how it'll end.
But sometimes I wonder
if I shared what's really on my mind,
would you smile and agree with me
or turn away for good?
Deep down I know
something more would not work. 
But the crazy idea of it 
frequently crosses my mind.
Can you see it in my eyes 
when we're doing what we do?
Or are you truly only here
for that hour or two?...

Had I known your betrayal, 
I would have let go,
And free myself from you. 

Deep down, we know the wits of love,
A poison made from the cups of romance. 
I drank too much from those used ones... 

I need to buy new ones to cover your spillage,
A mess in pieces on the floor of my core.
Would it have been better if you had cleaned? 

Perhaps, perhaps not..
Notice your indifference...
Am stuck to be your man maid!
A hilt in my gentle hood....

I feel like I'm missing something
Maybe a kiss or hug I know its something
Or maybe touch or rub the feel of loving
All I know is that I'm missing something
Maybe a smile or gesture that brought me pleasure
Or maybe us laughing together that was such a blessing
But deep down i know I'm missing something
Maybe its our hellos that that turned into good mornings 
Wanting nothing more but those strong arms around me
All I know is that I'm missing something...

My rainbow's on fire up in the sky,
The flames are emotional pain.
The colours of hurt fall in a storm,
Fall in a colourful rain.

And her thunder sips coffee in a future of doubt,
A future of quiet torment.
The stallion, the bull's now a broken down dog,
The grand piano just got up and went.

Deep down I know my hurricane of love,
Won't kiss the harp that it once knew.
My bandit of love has ridden away,
Leaving my rainbow a shadow of blue....

You think about your treasured past.
Wondering if you could ever go back.
Your days grow shorter
as you grow older.
The time seems to past
as fast as you can remember.
But deep down you know
that you have achieved greatness.
Even though you haven't always been the best person.
They say that the Devil's water isn't so sweet.
but you can take a dip every once in a while.
So as you lay there
ill, and in bed.
Think about the time you were young....

i see the world from a different view
but i could not imagine it without you
behind those eyes, what i see will do

deep down i know this is what's best
because, with you, no one can contest
behind those eyes, there is no protest

the way your face lights up when im near
simple pleasures when i whisper in your ear
behind those eyes, i see no fear

laying on our couch, just us two
i know that no one else will do
behind those eyes, the love is true...

It sits in the corner
Out of reach, Unmoving
Yet still provokes a knot in my stomach

It's over there, I'm over here
It's tiny, and I am huge
Yet still the prickle of goosebumps on my arms

I fetch a cup and a piece of card
But when I bravely return, it's gone
Playing hide and seek with my anxieties

A moments peace before my brain insists 'Where'
Followed by an evening of twitching at shadows
Deep down I know it will be back

Dreading the inevitable...

I think of you and me, i dream of you in dreams
I care for you, more then you can ever know
I smile when i see you, my heart jumping up for joy
But i try and play it cool, and never let you know
I think you know of this, deep down you know its true
the feelings, those crazy whacky feeling i feel them just for you.
I try to keep it simple, not make it weird of difficult
I know, im not your man
but deep down i dream of you and me
and know that it could never be....
