Forgive and Forget

Why do we do what we do
To love and to lose
Why must we believe what we believe
That "No one would ever hurt me!"
We as humans make mistakes
And we as humans never give but take
Yet all humans still wish 
That good will never vanish
Personally I say
That in a certain way
All man made equal and same
Deserve to believe and to change









For those who don't believe in forgive and forget.

Goodbye Halcyon Days

Like an Orchid in bloom 
I fell for you
Little by little
I was consumed
Were do I sleep?
When thought and dream
You constantly seep
Into my heart
To become a part
Tethered to me
For all to see

Times were good
Some stressful too
But I was happy 
Being next to you

I saw only you
You saw only her
And yet I fought
For you to be together
With the person
Who shined in your eyes
I should have no reason
To be this nice
To set up the person I liked
With the one she seeked
Even though it wasn't me

But now your leaving
The one who loved you
And everyone else too

Cold Days

Crunching under foot
Is the freshly fallen snow
     Muffling all sound

Hurricane Ane

Dark clouds roll on in
    Cyclone of power and fear
  As changing as the river of life
  disperse from your path of death
    Blue skies, You weren't here

What It Means

What it means
is to care. 
About not you, 
Not me 
But a Bigger "WE"
And to see 
All there is to see.
To share
What you are 
And who you are. 
And when you 
Will be there 
To show you care

What it means
Is to hold.
Onto everything 
And anything 
And all the things 
You can.
to love and to want
So much, 
That your thoughts taunt 
you with the image of her  
That idea is sure 
To be all about 
You and her.
To the point of no return
And like a fire that burns 
So does your love.

So then what does it mean to long. 
For that sweet song, 
For when you say,
What inside lays. 
She repeats 
That unyielding treat. 
Of not yours, 
Not hers, 
But love together

So then it means
For her, 
This day 
I'll always wait.

Petals

Flowers open wide
They ask to be provided
   At the end they close

---Unamed----

Morning, night, or day

I still have nothing to say

To the current that sweeps me away

I’m just here for the ride.

So you have no right

Shut your mouth don’t chide

This is my awkward play

Welcome , My muse

Welcome my love

To the broken story of

The One who has nothing

So he has nothing to lose

I’m just here and holding on to you

So keep in toe

Let me show you my show

My farce, My life

I’ve got nothing to hide

I’m not who I was

I’m not who I am

And its all because of you

You make me someone new

Damn Teenage Years and Your Insucurities!!!

What does love mean
Hard and soft times right?
To hold and be held
But when do you love
When do you feel
What can you say
When you dont know the way
Am I a Faker?
Am I a Fraud?
I just dont know
I feel clawed
So should I leave 
Till Im found
Or should I stay
And make not a sound
Cause if theres 2 who i feel for
But one can give no more
And The other as someone who feels the same
When will I know
Cause if their hurt I'm to blame
I hope soon it will show
What I shoul do

On the Balance Inbetween

Its bending around my brain
And constricting around my heart
I don't know what I'm supposed to feel
What comes after this part?

I feel locked up and shut down
My body moving on its own
I don't see anyone around
These darkened and heedful moans

Where do I go
When I cant even see
I really need a light
To try and find me

So here I sit
Trapped and forever lost
Maybe one day
I'm willing to pay the cost

Because its worth more 
To be right over there
Knowing what I'm doing
And knowing that I care.

A Long Journeys End

Simplicity was best
And now as you hover by my chest
I would like to remind you that you’re here
In my heart 
Forever near

I don’t know how 
But you touched me
And as you take the final bow
I would like to thank you

I saw you vaguely
But I saw you truly
Kind, gentle, always there
Just to talk about everything
And also nothing

The battle was hard fought
And after all the pain
Your serenity that was sought
You have obtained

So may God bless your travels
Into his gates
And may he watch over you
And keep you safe at best
For now you may finally rest.

-To Katie, a very dear friend that though I may not have spent as much time with you as
some I saw you as the great person you were. May god keep you by him and safe in heaven.
---Love Eternally Matthew R Pawlak
