Screw Up

Why is it so hard to be me
I don’t know who else to be
Trying hard to do right
Always ends up a fright

Then I don’t seem sincere
Might as well go have a beer
Why do I even try
Makes me want to curl up and die

I attempt to be precise
But all I do is roll the dice
Then it seems I’m being untrue
When screwing up is all I do

It’s no fun being a scatterbrain
And always getting caught in the rain
Can someone help break this spell
I put myself through pure hell

Just be careful what you do
Is all I ever heard or knew
Take it slow and before long
You will stop hearing gongs

How can they tell so many untruths
Where the hell is that noose
I’m just a big ole goof
Because screwing up is all I do

Little Quart

We were so strong right from the start
We gave each other a true heart

We planned and conspired what the future would hold
We were joyous to watch it all unfold

You were mine and I was yours
Your love for me deep to the core

We were a family of a sort
You, me and little quart

My love I gave, to you both
Along with my undying oath

Holding her on my lap
How I loved to hear her laugh

For a time I watched her grow
What my heart holds you will not know

How Can You

How can you deny this chemistry
Felt deep within our hearts

How can you reject true love
That blew us off the charts

How can you refuse desire
Felt with a single touch

How can you decline this craving
Causing a deep burning rush

How can you throw out the time
Invested in this bond

How can you forget the days
Of memories so fond

How can you strip to the bone
All of what we were

How could you not rebuild 
Is this what you really prefer?

Meeting You

I saw a small photograph of you
Being intrigued I wanted to write
What would I say what would I do
To make this appealing without any hype 

What can I offer, will you think “who”?
And say out loud “go fly a kite” 
I have to think hard, this is all new
I have to be cleaver with all my might?

I’ll introduce myself…without further ado? 
Where is that bright bulb of light?
I’m nervous, my lips are turning blue
Something is happening did something ignite?

I could always take her out for a brew
I see it; I see it to my delight
Just be myself and I’ll pull through
Be clever, honest and polite

Don’t say things that aren’t true
I can't breath my face is white
Be sincere through and through
Hopefully she won’t think I’m a fright
And let me take her out for that brew.

Never

Never will I understand your deliberate rejection
Never will you know the depth of my infection

My Plea

We had laughs
We had cries
We had each other

We have love
We have passion
We have “it”

We need a little more respect
A little more communication
And we would have it ALL

My God, how I want you 
and love you 
Be mine again!

One More Try

Everyone is bumped and bruised
And comes with their own baggage
You’re never there to see me through
Sit back and watch me lag

Hit my heart with harmful words
And try my damaged emotions
Do whatever you prefer
Showing boldly your lack of devotion

Watch me drown in this ocean
My breathing is getting shallow
There is no hope for a potion
As I am tangled in the mallow 

I reach out for one last grip
Again I’m turned away
Just one kiss from your lips
Would begin a new day

Once again my heart is bereaved
As tears fill my eyes
I know you will not grieve
But I had to give it one more try

Fault

They ask me how ill
I try to reply, but the words
Sick enough to die
In my head I wonder, when the time is
Scared enough to cry

They ask me to go
I wish to say, I can’t express
I want to be here today
Watch me please, take care 
Don’t send me away

They tell me to hang
Do what you’re told, but the query
I want to grow old
Waiting for the day, it’s time
Don’t watch me grow cold

They say it’s ok
You will survive, but the darkness
Is pulling me in inside
At this instant, I see beyond
See the light, but I am still alive

They say a burden, I wasn’t
I want to give thanks, but I can’t
Too weak, I sank
You worked so hard, sacrificing it was
I should have just walked the plank

They say deteriorate, problem solved
What did I do? I didn’t mean
To cause harm to you
You say not me, not my fault
It’s just a thing, not an assault

They say a sacrifice, will be repaid
When will you get yours, it’s a bit delayed
You’re still suffering, over time
It’s gotten worse, just a crime
One so good, it isn’t fair

They say endure, with love in the air
I am the guilt beyond shame
Put you through, unselfish game
No win here, a grateful heart
Significance for me is all you see

They say the good, hasn’t much time
I’m thankful you’re here
My everything, even more than I knew
And I want to say, and I will 
I love you

Have You Ever

Have you ever felt so lonely
Like an abandoned corpse

Have you ever felt so lost
That you would never be discovered

Have you ever felt so sad
That all you could do is cry

Have you ever felt so broken
That your whole body shattered

Have you ever felt this ache
That is deep within your heart

Have you ever longed for the touch
That was impossible to attain

Have you ever craved a kiss
Knowing you will forever desire

Have you ever visualized the body
That you will eternally yearn

Have you ever missed someone so passionately
That it weakens every sense of your being

Have you ever felt so many emotions
Running ramped through your veins

Have you had this feeling of hopelessness
Wondering when this pain will end

Have you ever felt lifeless
Yet you were still breathing

Have you ever wondered why
Without ever attaining an answer

Writing

I read your words they are so naked with truth
Fluttering through my head, then souring like birds
I feel as though I’m drinking from the fountain of youth
Clearly I can see without my vision blurred

She came into my world on a whim 
She was cautious and tattered but none the less
In time her mind became open and filled to the brim
Words spewed out with grace in excess

She wrote of needs and desires, wants and expectations
How she can pour this emotion out on paper
I should successfully inscribe such a creation
Her notions floated around me like a mysterious vapor

This is not a competition, yet she wanted more
How can I give what I do not know?
If only I could change, if only I could morph
Maybe I can reach through the layers and just let go

There has to be something there to share
Dig deep, break down your shield
Oh, hell I do not have even a prayer
All inside is sewn and sealed

A significant perception came to me
I began to write and build on this single detail
Suddenly there it was, a half page, just what I wanted to see
I did it; I let her see a portion; I was unveiled
