Dad

This is the second Father's Day 
Without my rock, my superman
The one man in this world who was 
Supposed to be
Guaranteed not to hurt me
Guess what:
That's a lie
It hurt like hell when my parents fought
It hurt like hell when he got sick
It hurt like hell when he died 
Now, it doesn't hurt
But that doesn't mean I'm OK
Just that, that part of me has gone numb
They say time heals all wounds
But I think they're wrong
Because, losing someone you thought
Was immortal 
Hurts almost more than I can bear
But, I have to bear it
My mom is too caught up 
With her new boyfriend
My boyfriend is too caught up
With his family
My best friend is out of town
And she wouldn't understand anyway
So, here I am, alone,
Trying to bear
The feeling of 
Pain, hot, fiery, numbing pain
Seeping in through the giant
Crack 
In my armor
And filling 
The gigantic hole in my heart
Where my dad used to be

My Love

My best friend
That is what 
I call him
Within in his
Earshot
Privately,
I call him
Something 
Much more 
Intimate:
My Love
Constantly
Admiring
but always
From afar
Always dreaming,
Ever hoping
That one day 
He would 
Return my
Feelings. 
But 'tis
A dream and nothing more

My Silent Shadow

Following me around
Always
Never harming me directly
Only through the ones I love
He has taken my Superman and my rock,
My happiness and my strength
My tears and my joy
Left as empty as a shell
As lifeless as a husk
Soul sucking
Strength draining
Spirit crushing
Last name Reaper,
First name Grim
He is always there,
Waiting to claim me as well

First Love

I'm thinking of someone
Can you guess who?
I know you know
He makes me so happy
Makes me sappy
Makes my knees knock
My heart pound
And my stomach do flips
The world could be falling
Down around my ears
And as long as I can be
Safe in his arms
I'll go with a smile on my face
It boggles my mind
How your average 
Boy next door
Could break down walls
That held strong for five years
In one hour
Do you understand it?
Cause God knows I don't
You know the most amazing thing?
He doesn't even have to try

Courage

They say courage 
Is doing something
Even though you're
Scared. 
I say it's going on
Even when you
Know you can't
It's wearing red
When everyone
Else is wearing
Black.
Courage is also 
The inner strength
To hold your head
Up high
When others try
To knock it down
But, above all, it's
Having the inner
Core of steel that
Allows you to 
Continue on even 
When others 
Tell you that 
You can't.
