Short Lock Away Poems

I don’t remember my dreams.
I wake with a vague sense that I’ve seen
something more
of my brain
the consciousness of my inner self.
Or maybe the madness that I 
lock away during the day
breaks down the walls at night while I’m asleep 
and dances
leaving only a trace–
footsteps in the mud of memory....

Sometimes we keep holding to the pasts
Hoping that we will never be hurt again
Allow few people ever to get to know us
Choosing to lock away our true personas
Knowing that we keep hurting ourselves
Learning to accept the pains of the past
Ensures that we can shape our futures
Sometimes we just have to let it go...

I struggle with my demons daily 
this ain't on no religious  
because I'm the only one who can save me
but when I speak on demons, I mean my past 
it's like I can't detach from the pain 
even tho it's just for a moment 
I can't shake this omen, I wasn't always this open
but transparency has always been key 
to lock away everything that has taken a hold of me...

Her name slipped away
Her shadow disappeared
An empty frame on the wall
That use to hold her face

No perfume smells or
Smells of dinner all gone
No nylons hanging to dry
No more, do I look to fat in this

Kisses missed
Opportunities for forgiveness
Gone
Memories faded away

As if we had never met at all
All have disappeared
All stored and lock away
I have lost the key to our love...

Into my heart a song is born
Song of life
Songs of love
Songs of death 
Songs of seasons that come
And go,
Songs of color that paints
The wind..
Song of laughter that echo
Out loud…
Songs of lullabies to rest
The babies eyes..
Songs of inspiration to 
Lighten the heavy
Load…
Songs of the broken
Hearts…
That lock away in a
Corners…
To hide their weeping
Eyes…
Songs of the butterflies,
The white turtle dove..
Songs of all kinds
To inspire the soul.....

You're so pathetic
you just don't get it
It's fun at the time,
but trust me you'll regret it.
Don't forget its not just cause I said yes,
it happened cause you let it.
At first I didnt understand 
now im starting to get it.
I'm like a puppy you can lock away
only take me out when you wanna play
I'm like a trophy you place upon your shelf
getting dusted by everyone else.
I'm the only thing you feel you can control
I am the translation to your otherwise illegible scroll...
