Just Waiting

Just waiting.
A black broken hurt heart waiting for love.
Just wishing.
Wondering when someone special will find it.
Still waiting.
A person to embrace it and give it warmth.
Still wishing.
Wondering what love feels like.
Just waiting.
A person to hold it when it needs it the most.
Just wishing.
Wondering what one person loves it for what it is.
Just waiting and just wishing for the love that it needs to survive.
Hoping that it will be soon because the pain is becoming to much for it to bare.
Poor unloved heart. . . 
Still wishing.
Still waiting.

Cold

Cold.
That's all I feel now.
No warmth.  
No light to direct me on the selected path that is my fate.
My spirit is slowly losing its touch to the vast outside world.
Will I ever stop looking for a replacement light?
Will my spirit ever roam freely again?
Will the cold go away?
That absolutely unforgiving cold?

Selfishness

Wavering slowly back and forth
   from friend to friend. . 
  from place to place,
 only finding my selfishness
but wanting to bring happiness.
"What do you need?
  What else can I possibly give you?
   I'v given everything.
    I have nothing else to give.
     Why do I do this?
    Why do i try so hard to make other people happy?
   My selfishness 
  and other peoples happiness
 don't go together,
but somehow 
 in the end
  they
   always
    intertwine

40 bucks. . 
that's all it took
thud thud was the last sounds his heart ever made
multiple strikes from a venomous bite
blood filling his lungs
the wind whispering his name like a mothers lullaby
death had come to soon for him
Why do we take what is not ours?
oh right. . 
40 bucks
