Tore
Sat on a phone, waiting for love.
Got her number on speed dial, but love is not enough.
Spoke to her just yesterday, but that is history.
Need to speak with her everyday to satisfy my need.
Loving her is easy, but I am never freed.
Hypnotised by killer lines. Meet her in my dreams.
Actually managed to tell her,
She’s my kind of drug.
Picture me with somebody married.
We are us.
Want to tour her state-of-the-art mind.
What’s mine is mine and what’s hers is mine,
Because I give her all I have.
Don’t need possessions, just lessons, in laugh.
If we last another year I guess that makes us two.
I need to breathe her into my life.
I only write for you.
Ignore the chatter, that does not matter.
Fall madly for me like a crazy hatter,
And I will follow your rabbit wherever it may go.
In your life I find a wonderland that I can’t leave alone.

Howard thought holes in his jeans was fashionably in style
He tore them all down the pants leg, wearing a smile
His mother told him he could not leave the house on his horse
Unless he wore long underwear, and he did it of course
He was glad he did, for these holes were in the wrong places
He had torn the holes in his jeans in some mighty weird spaces
Someone said how lovely the orange was showing through
Come see me tomorrow he told her, I’ll be wearing blue
Look at the peace crazy war tore,
Here, a list of The Dead I saw:
Sitters in fluffy chairs floor,
The narrowest room space for four!
Pity the Peace Painful Plight tore.
Listen to the pains victims bore:
"Also fear the just wars with laws;
Still carnivores with their own claws!"
Bullets rip through firmly closed doors;
The sight of roofs during war bores,
Not much food in the once-filled stores,
Time customers failed to pay whores...
I know not a fight without sores,
Wars more than a fight, sure some sores.

She tore it up
for the whole world to see
Two separate pieces
right in front of me
Her face showed her hate
her actions the same
I’m sure she will say
someone else is to blame
I stood there and stared
in pure disbelief
The state of our union
no sign of relief
And hard as I tried
they still are apart
I can’t understand
why she tore up my heart
My heart, what did you think I was talking about? : )
You were so entrancing,
So deceiving,
And mischievous.
You were able to charm me,
With your good looks,
With that little twinkle in your eyes,
You made me believe you were perfect.
As soon as you got close,
You had control of my heart,
And had me casted under your trance.
Your sweet kisses,
With your lips so soft,
Then turn into razor sharp teeth,
You ripped threw my chest,
And took away my heart.
You left me for dead,
So you could add my prized possession,
To your bloody collection,
For your own pleasure.
It was all a part of your plan,
To woo me into your grasp,
Only to break my heart,
And tore it out of my chest,
For all eternity…
OUR HEART TORE IN TWO
Together we hold a red paper heart,
Our hands so close in warm proximity.
We grin from ear to crimson blush, Sweetheart.
Our palms touch ~ steam with equanimity,
We are meant to be ~ you’re my counterpart.
Yes ~ bestowed with God’s magnanimity.
Our heart tore in two ~ one for me and you.
Our warmth spreads ~ we cuddle - she’s pink...he’s blue.
It's just what it is
It shoves and it gives
Time now is quite tight
Working with all of my might
It's just what it is
Can't cry, can't laugh
Doubts fester away
Am I losing my way?
Keep going, head-on, strong
Something is going wrong
No matter how hard I try
I keep asking why?
It's just what it is
Somethings die, somethings give
Pressure building too strong
But I must carry on
It's just what it is
Destroying what I can give
Perhaps I was left back there in time?
Before my brain tore into two minds
It's just what it is
Harder than it's ever been
Perhaps you know what I mean?
It's just what it is.
My intentions were never to fight you,
I had no one to relate to share to,
On many occasions you brought me back,
To the past through the same feelings you had,
I looked up to you, I respected your strength,
I wanted the fear I had hidden so long to go away,
My heart was dying slowly yet you saw me as a threat,
I looked to you like family, yet I got ridiculed instead,
I turned my back and walked away,
How could I trust someone who would make fun of my pain,
Is this the family I thought i knew?
After all the loss we all had been through?
My heart sank so low, I couldn't stand the pain,
I had no choice but to walk away,
It took all my strength just to open up my heart,
But it was your assumptions that tore it apart.
She tore into the night.....
like little lightning bolts,
With a carriage made of scents of him,
sifting her soul ----
his touch.....
she longed.....
Neath that naked moon,
meshed as one;
not a star amiss ----
The twinkling of their kisses sweet
stardust upon their lips,
as soft skin greets biting tongues
long to seeking love
Up against a trunk of a maple.....
his hands lifting higher her skirt,
a deft brush upon her aching bosom,
sugared surrender.....
She met him again,
waiting tall in the shadows, smiling
(She did not wait)
she tore into the night.....
No no no Notoriousss..
No no no Notorious
So glorious
A joyous &
Jubilant
Warriors and true to it
Brewed to be lit
Overdue to
Admit
Askew to a fit of many
Any plenty of shapes
Draped with a
Cape and powers for curiosity
A tower to prowler slick over animosity
Everything withering at its own prone and velocity
Either way I'll
Still have my throne at the bottom of sea
I really love you
But you love someone else
when i see you
I Cant close my eyes
I Just want you to say how much you care about me
But you love someone else
I just want to hear "i love you" out of your mouth
I hear it in my mind
Its just like a sound
But its just a dream
Because you love someone else
(This is a fictional poem)
My life is empty just like the gas tank in this van.
Over the years life has made me a bitter man.
My van won't go anywhere without gas and my life won't go anywhere either.
I caught my girlfriend in bed with another man so I decided to leave her.
Five years ago I was married and things looked pretty dim.
My exwife fell for another man and ran off with him.
My girlfriend and my exwife were both seduced by other men.
It tore my heart out and I'll never fall in love again.
Now I live in this van because I have nowhere else to go.
My girlfriend begged me to forgive her but I said no.
My life is going nowhere but at least there's noone to cheat on me.
I have to live in my van but at least I'm free.
I tore off my heart,
so you're a part of me no more...
My life was yours,
and now it belongs to you no more...
So leave with no trace,
that ever leads me back to you...
And leave that place,
please walk out that door...
It wouldn't feel so bad,
if you weren't here to hurt me
I'd rather feel half as glad,
with my fears away from me
I won't stay in your arms,
till you reach inside of me,
to tear down my life,
and burn it all in front of me
A step further in our way,
is a step closer to my grave…
But if I must, I'll pay
my all, for my dignity to save
