It Feels So Right
I slit my wrists
And close my eyes
And think about
His stupid lies

Slip away
Into the light
Nothings ever
Felt this right...

When we let life take us on this wild ride 
we let it slip away 
we take things for granted 
seen and unseen 
and miss out on so much...

Seems like long ago

Things were different

Unnoticed we let them slip away

Victim of loneliness, we strayed

How could we let it happen?...

Searching the web for signs of life
Something to ease our daily strife
Hours slip away
Night becomes day
Luckily, there's always the wife!...

Soul Addiction
And so I come back
again and again 
to revisit our love 
and why I foolishly 
let it slip away
Self torture? No
To feed my soul's 
addiction...

Love Not True
As you go on with loving me
I cant help but to die   very slowly
As my hands start to slip away
Your  tears hit my face filled with all your sorrow...

Walls
Often I find time to dream.
My room closes around me.
Walls and ceilings bound me.
True thoughts; images freed.
Walls and ceilings
Slip away from me....

Stripped, abused and tortured.
Help me, my life's but one -
Don't let it slip away!

Premium Member Backroom
When fear and stress
   overwhelm
I squeeze into the backroom 
   of my mind...
I slip away 
into the world of words

Words that tell
   and know,
   and heal.

Stillness
When life begins to slip away,
I take a bath.
With one last breath,
I hold myself under the water.
In this stillness, I am calm.
The relief of death seems to comfort me....

Premium Member I'M Alone I Am
I'm alone I am;
gone he is.

I'm still alive I found out;
I'm pacing myself.

Doin' the best I can.
I can't do more than I can I can't.

The time slip away sure does....

Untold
Untold tears
as helpless, I watch
you, the one who was my world,
slowly, slowly slip away,
knowing that someday soon
yours will be yet another photograph
that I talk to......

My Tears Call
A new day has just dawned and I grieve
that I am lying all alone
My foolish pride got to me
I let you slip away
Now I am crying
for what is gone
My tears call
out your
name...

Worry Meditation
Fall away from me
like leaves fall from the trees. 
A gentle passing.
Be a seed swept by the breeze. 

Like a fine layer of frost melts under the sun,
slip away, fleeting sigh. 
Be gone....

Truth
It's a Beautiful day.
Don't let it slip away.
Carpe Diem.


And in the End.
The Love You Take is equal
to the Love You make.


In the face of arms, Laws are dumb !


Peace be with you....
