Love Yourself

This my advice to self.
Stop lying to yourself.
The smiles betray the hurt that runs to deep.
You need to stand tall .
Stop becoming bitter even if its what your name means.
Always love,  make it your motto.
Let this hatred of self-doubt and self direct lies disappear.
Because the hate will get you every time.
Always love yourself.
How can you tell this to everyone but yourself.
Loosen up and dance, feel the summer’s breeze.
God will forgive you if you  let go.
Remember you dreams because they have died  in your cave of reality, of every day.
Stop suffocating  your spirit.
Let it run free with your dreams and believe.
Time won’t stand still for you.
We may always be destined to remember but never can we always go back and change time.
Step forward and give yourself  room to sometimes fail.
Life is about mistakes and despair, otherwise how will you ever learn.
Be an example not an exception.
If you stop hurting yourself with this doubt .
Then you can stop the hurt for your children..
They are your future.
You have to learn to hurt and get over it.
This is God’s blessing.
So You may be able to apprecatie  what is giving to you.
Mary , why do you hide and hurt.
Have you forgotten the love that fills your life everyday.
It may not be money, a nice house or a car.
But it is a house full of laughter.
Hugs and kisses at night.
Gratitude for being a wonderful mother and wife.
You let this hatred of doubt become your greatest fear.
It’s evilness has slowly killed your courage.
Believe in your faith and remember this is all part of God’s grander plan.
Forgive yourself for not being able to resolve life’s problems.
Instead emerge full of  strength that guides you to always love yourself.

God's Butterfly

Your life ended crumpled and disillusioned like a butterfly in God’s hand.
Little did you know much was at stake.
When you drove the stake to the heart of your fate.
Never knowing the embraces or love you so wanted was there even before you had passed on.
The streets cry now with a shamed despair and regrets for you that has faded.
A shimmer of a star you  were is now shining up above us.
What you thought was your release of hope has become everyone’s sin.
As you sat alone dwelling in the blackness of your demons.
Not noticing the angels crying for your soul.
How did your mistakes swallow you whole.
To think a child of seventeen , only feeling life’s hate instead of hope.
Now we all hold our heads down low and cry with shame.
Maybe only if we had open our eyes and saw your hurt choking you.
Now everyone cares and it’s too late, where was the support you need. 
It’s too many lives late.
Today I write for a boy who no one knew or cared.
May he be remembered as a memory, a regret, a secret, or a true love so true.
There are no words I can say just this thick broken down silence.
It rains down on all of us.
Mike, I wish you could see how much your family, friends and teammates miss you.

Longing

Misery  loves me,   I feed it everyday.
Some days it’s envy or maybe tomorrow it’s anger.
It keeps me company whether I asked it or not.
I aimlessly walk through my shadow of the days.
Not remembering how this came to be?
I long for days when you kissed me and my wishes walked to the sun.
Waiting for the night to granted me dreams to hope.
Instead  misery  becomes me, like a death I waste.
Why did our love go from good to bad?
Every tear  made a wish disappear .
Now no nights or days feel sane.
I am alone , I want to curl up in a tight ball and not breathe.
I felt each moment slip away , not making a sound to pull myself back to you.
I can not let you go.
I am still here for you to command.
How do I  drag  myself out of this winter storm.
I long to hear you voice.
Every day I wake up and miss you.
My life is a shambles of regrets as I wait for you to come back.
I look out the same window everyday waiting for you to turn the corner , back to my heart.

Wasted Love

Lost and losing a grip on myself.
I thought this was better than the worst, only to find hurt.
How much I hurt.
I am so confused to think is this what I deserve?
Just waiting till the light fades out.
Oh how I shake and throw my arms up enraged.
No pills or doctors can help.
Because I am stuck in a life that holds another time in a little glass globe.
Only to shake and haunt me as I glimpse at it, and turn away.
Knowing it’s my secret.
I live in a glass house where I don’t let anyone throw stones.
Perfection has become my dream.
I tell myself that no one loves you like I do.
Lying to us that you love me too.
I admire how clever our life is, for no one even fears anything else.
When things start to tumble I pick it up and brush our love off.
Like a mother kisses a cut.
I fold all my frustration in the linen closet neatly.
Shutting the frustration down inside of me.
Going back to living someone else’s life.
Forgetting how sweet our love tasted like honey in a jar.
Sugary and sweet.
Now I am reminded of a wasted love for you and how in the end nothing stays the same.
So all we are is a taste of love that was luscious in our dreams.
In the end words don’t matter and nothing feels the same.
I have the perfect life but nothing ever was.
It’s a daydream that I keep to breathe everyday so I know that we can be  polished and
refined.
Oh how it so easy to lie to ourselves more than the world.
But the regrets eats us and we try sometimes to break out of this illusion of perfection.
To feel a sense of peace.

Time

Feeling so many memories slip away.
Oh how I want to steal time away.
I feel it's weight pulling me down this endless tide.
I break through only to be reminded of what life has become.
All these things going on and so many people leaving.
Just a soundless memory haunting me.
As the stars fade.
A whisper blowing in the wind.
Missing what I forgot.
Thinking this road I am on will soon turn to dust.
Not much do I know whats to come.
Since all I can think of is the past.
I feel so old yet, I am so young.
A snapshot of everyday, like a robot I go through motions.
Time has took my emotions.
Leading me a chase.
I'm marking my spot on it's storyboard.
So one day I'll be on time.

My Farewell

Dad, this my apology and a prayer of farewell.
To you and me.
So maybe I can feel that you have forgiven me.
And all the things in my life now make since.
Your sad gray eyes haunt me at night.
I can never forget that you have left.
I can’t seem to let go because it feels as I am letting go of my past.
Goodbye to a little girl who misses the comfort of being a daddy’s girl.
Goodbye to cuddles at night and chocolate-chip pancakes in the morning.
I cried for your soul and hope that your happy where you are.
Please send me a sign so I know your al right.
Goodbye to memories of a man singing as he played his guitar with his soul.
 How can I explain the pain when I remember my life as before.
 Goodbye to the roughness of your cheek each time I kissed you goodbye.
I have forever changed and feel I haven’t ever made you proud.
So now I long to pick up a phone and call to say “Hi!”.
I would have given my life just for a hour to tell you thanks.
I need your courage and strength when life strikes me down.
Goodbye to stern lectures of life.
I miss seeing your face and laughter when it rains.
Or how your face lighten up when my children yelled,,“Grandpa!”.
I never thought it would ever end up this way.
I feel that chance played a hard joke on us and now I am paying for it.
 I just can’t get past this because your not here to guide me through this.
 So I sit and ponder on streams full of memories and times that seemed so long gone.
Like the vast ocean I drown away trying to drift back to some kind of sanity.
I close my eyes and here the jingle-jangle of your keys as you limp on by.
I miss the pat on the back or the tightness of my hand enclosed in yours to reassure me it 
would be al right.
I think of so many goodbye to you..
Goodbye to the way your hair stood up after waking up.
 Or how we laughed when you snored.
Goodbye to yelling at the boys when they were misbehaving.
 But the most that always hurt is the goodbye to you.
Because it seems that centuries have passed since I last saw you.
  Even if it’s been a few years.
The world is cruel and I often wonder what to do?
I question that this is the end, for the pain isn’t gone.
It consumes my soul as I try to go on.
As a reminder of finer things in life.
I look to the sky and search for a sign that you are up there somewhere near by as always 
before.

Blind Sided

According to you,
We are perfect.
But to me we are falling pieces of glass,
Smashed with a fist of disillusion images.
Waking us up to a hatred for this life we lead.
Knowing we are both in above our heads.
Maybe we could be ok or safe.
I watch everything slip away into a sea of bleakness.
I try not to find fault but your face is all I see when I try to walk away.
Feeling that our love is blown away.
As if all we got is this season of regrets.
I try not to look back, feeling that the simple shouldn’t be hard.
How I wasted my love for you.
Misunderstanding and resentments sink our bridge of hope.
Telling myself today could be the start of something beautiful.
This a battle with one last draw.
You thinking we would be fine as all these years pass by.
 I told you so many times about this belated heartbreak.
Only getting blindsided by you every time.
So I back down and go downtown to my pub of tears.
Drowning in fears.
This is my fallout of our future, as I sink eight feet deep.

Being Human

What is it to be human?
Is it having peace and happiness.
Or is it insanity that eats us while we breathe hope into our fears.
Like a tornado of  numbness that washes away my tears.
Turning away from this fight to surround my dreams into a endless whisper.
A ghost of a past that I thought was my right, only to have the reality slap the hate back
into my face.
Next time I see you maybe I can be civil like a person.
Instead of this demon whose hatred wants to consume you.
I want you to fell the hurt that you threw at me as you left me here alone.
Here alone in this world being human.
I  want you to feel the need to lay here in our bed alone staring at nothing.
To miss me holding you hold onto me.
Watching everything we had fade away.
I thought you were my forever to stay.
I sometimes run for miles to feed the burn.
Missing the sunshine in the air.
I tried to take a leave of absence but life made me stayed.
There seems to be no rhyme or reason for what was love to hurt so much.
I try to sleep to lose all these memories of us but in my dreams there was no end.
Maybe I  deserve this hell, I just don’t know anymore what’s real.
I want to wake up and forget you ever meant anything to me.

Children

Tick-tock  I hear the clock.
It beckons me closer so , I can show it my sorrow.
Time does not wait for me.
Instead  It mocks me with memories of how fast the years have went.
Wishing for a glimpse of  our past.
My babies became teenagers.
I long to snuggle up with them in my bed as we read a story .
Now they won’t even eat supper with me.
Knowing that soon they will leave our home to grown up.
They mock me   with each picture I  say I need to take.
How they hurt me, when they roll their eyes each time  I am excited for a play or a game.
Mom, you overreact they say when I cry watching them make a touchdown or sing a solo.
How I want to shout that’s my kid.
Don’t they understand the gift God has giving me each day.
My children have became my life , my existence, and I feel that their new beginning is my 
end.
Oh, how they stomp and yell when I tell them no.
I keep a straight face each time knowing it’s for their own good.
Don’t they understand soon they will be here where I am today.
I want to keep them children , so the years won’t race.
Instead I grow gray and laugh to cherish each moment.
I embrace the unknowing future, wishing them the best.
Maybe one day they will realize how much I loved them.
As I fall apart, slowly letting them go.

Old Boxes

Years have come and gone.
I have forgotten who I am.
Every once a photo of you reminds me.
Lucky I should be, only to feel a undaunted hurt.
It’s a imprint on my walls or my bookshelf.
As I glance at you, black and white fading away.
Happy you seen, are you somewhere where the angels can hear.
Do you ever wonder how much I miss you?
I keep finding stuff that belongs to you, telling me about a unfinished past I will never
hear.
Never realizing you were more than just a dad.
A boy, a man.
Old boxes of lost loves and photos no one knows.
It’s as if I’m losing my memory.
A mixture of a dad I knew to a stranger before who became you.
Time goes on, and the little girl grows ups, starts a family. 
She tells stories of a father she barely knew.
Losing you toke a piece of me, that never grows back.
Now finding this untold past makes me feel as everything was nothing.
I know nothing now, just time flying by.
I am left with disappointment of pushing you away.
Realizing our mistakes.
