I can feel the anger as it rises 
Rendering me helpless at  times
As if the moon of darkness rises 
As it has done so many times 
How many times can I suppress it 
And totally  ignore my angel
With out lashing  out and being explicit
Continuing to be in the heat of anger
I strive to be calm and collected 
When all along I want to explode 
To always be sen yet  rejected
Feeling alone and completely  cold
I want to scream and tell you 
"I am who I am leave me be"
I live for me and not you 
Why can't you just let it all just be
Must  you  harass me so 
Or do you  enjoy the  torturing 
The endless questions or things you want me to do 
Why don't you spend more time listening
I tell you time after time again
I try  my  best to tell you 
That I am finally happy  again 
And you are making me angry too
I want to be free
To enjoy life on my own
To totally be all of me 
I want to live like the wind is blown
Untamed and wild but  so  free
Can I  be so selfish in life
To want better for me 
But it is  my life

Michael

Since the first time I met  you
I have been crazy about you
I don't know  why  or how
But all I see right now
Is that there is something there
Some sort of bond that we share

When I'm with you I feel safe and secure
When  your  gone your  presence is allure
I feel like nothing could ever hurt me 
And you care about nothing but  me

Am I fooling myself to believe it is true
That  we are starting something exciting and new 
That  this could last  forever
And you wanna hold me forever and ever

I wonder at times if the choices I made
Were right or wrong and if I should have stayed
But I left  and my heart to you 
That must  be why now that your gone I'm blue

With a Love Lost , a Heart Broke

I found something that was true 
So now why am I so blue?
I found something that made me happy
So why am I now lonely?
Why am I crying at night
Tears overwhelming my sight
When not too very long ago 
There was no tear to show?
In times such as these 
No matter what anyone believes 
It was something real to me
Something I thought wouldn't happen to me
Yet I fell and I fell hard
And now my heart is left scarred
It may not last forever it may be gone soon
Only time will heal my pain as I hide in my cacoon
Hoping for the day I fly once again to you
To be embraced in your arms ,just to be with you 
What I wouldn't give at this moment in time
To be able to say you were once again mine
Yet I can't hold on if you are letting go
And I hope you come back some day and I hope you know
That there isn't anyone that will replace you in my heart 
Since I let down my guards at our relationship's start
I have trusted you completely
And loved you humbly
Without the expectation of you loving me
The crazy thing is love comes free
You dont have buy it 
or even trade for it
Love comes softly like a night mist
Too many times in life love is overlooked and missed
I don't wanna be the fool that looks back in regret
To a love I overlooked or threw away and now can't get
I don't wanna be the person who says they were never 
cared for or loved because of fear
I wanna be the person you want to be with 
Not the person you accidently ran adrift
Once I say "I love you"
how could I forget you?
How can I forget the words you have spoke
or the love my heart once soaked?
How can I forget making love to you?
My lips against yours, embraced by you
How could anyone forget the one person who brought 
them to life and showed them the love they sought
How do I walk away and not hold hope 
How am I going to cope
With a love lost , a heart broke

I Am About...

I must say there will be times I cry
There will be times I feel I must  lie
Though  inside I feel nothing
I am about something
I am about all that can be  possessed
I am about the increase , not the decreased
I urn for things I know I cannot be
Enjoying every moment that I can live
Giving out all the love I can give
Yet I get  hurt so easily
Because I give so  freely
Now I try to guard my heart 
From  every conversations' start
Aching for things I cannot say
Being places I cannot stay
Longing  for certainty or death
Wanting more than just my breath
I want to make a difference
To long for my preference
I grow in strength every day 
Learning  to listen to what  you say 
I learn by what I feel not what I hear
So many people act like they care
Yet  so many times I gave them my  trust
That  all has come today  to be  dust
How can I trust  anyone now?
Just  tell me how I could trust  now 
I am about all of this 
I am about a life-long  bliss 
When I am angry I have to shout 
" This is  what I am about !"

Is Love Enough?

Sometimes I wonder 
Is love enough?
Is it enough to keep us together
Tho we are so far apart?
I dream of the days we will be together 
The promises you have made 
That no matter you will love me forever 
But are they all true?
Is love enough to keep us one 
When we are in two places?
Have we both fallen in such deep love or just one ??
I love you completely
I have fallen in love with you 
Body, mind , and soul
So why do I have to live without you ?
I feel this ache so deep 
Peircing my heart and making it bleed
Like a bird shot in mid-flight
You are my heart's never-ending need
And everything I want 
Fear creeps inside me
Greif rushes over my soul
Because you are not with me 
Is love ever enough???

Wondering Where It All Went

Sometimes I wonder back
To the school books in a stack
When I worried about education
And proper  articulation
What an easy life I had then
Yet look how long ago it's been
Since I played in the sand
And still held my  mom's hand
I feel myself pulling away
And beginning to go astray
I've become my own person
Or maybe it's a created diversion
I'm  boggled in the mind again
How long has it been
Since I sat  on a  swing set?
I used to be happy with  what I  would get
I'm unsatisfied with myself
I truelly  can't stand myself
I want  to be content with me 
But  I can no longer see the way  I used to see
My  child-like eyes have turned grey
And I've forgotten how to  play 
Eighteen and a heart of clay
Which is  molded more everyday
I am always  changing  faces
And taken to stranger  places
Where did my playhouse  go?
What is it that I am suppose  to know?
An adult's world;yet I am not
I can't make anything out of what I've got
Sometimes I wonder  back
To the school books in a stack
And wonder where  it all went.

My Heart's Plea

The words my heart says,
Yet my mouth refuses to repeat
Are as contant as the days
That I determine not to speak

As I hide the words I need to imply
I cannot bring myself to tell you
That you mean so much to me
Yet I know that you already know

I stop each tender word from my lips
I refuse to utter my heart's plea
With each touch from your fingertips
I wonder how much you love me

My soul begs to let it all go
Yet I must let my guard down
To let all my feelings flow
Even though I feel I will drown

My heart's cry to tell you
Is taken over by my pride
So I cannot convey and be true
As true as the coming tide

I drown my heart's plea with tears
Swearing never to tell you
Even though it sheers
And rips my heart in two...

Juilet and Romeo

Skulls lay at my feet 
Yet their blood rushes through me withevery heartbeat

Tell it isn't so
About my true love Romeo

Now, it's my turn, in the name of love
Romeo and nothing alse to be thought of

For he did not know
That my death ws only a show

It's all in hast 
And nothing, but  a waste

A waste of life
And a lonely wife

I shall do the same as my Romeo
Just to create another show

Skulls lay at  my feet 
Yet their blood runs through me with every heartbeat

Sometime I feel like I am sacrificing myself 
Putting my heart on ice and laying it on a shelf 
Waiting and longing to feel you close to me 
Craving to feel your arms once more around me 
Wanting so badly to kiss your lips once more
Starving for your attention and so much more
Desperate to hear your voice in the dark 
Dreaming of long walks in the park 
Moonlight kisses, romance
And one long slow dance
Yet sometimes I wonder...
Is it worth the sacrifice .. I ponder...

Untitled -2 8-27-05

The love I thought  we had
The love I thought was real
When all of a sudden it  turns bad 
And you act like it is no big deal

I lay here, my heart in splinters
Hoping it's all a nightmare
Trying to mend my heart  with sutures
And you act as if you don't care

I cry tears of forever sorrow
Glancing into the shadows
Wondering if there will be a tomorrow 
Surrounded by  cold lifeless statues

I grieve for a love lost
I paid a deep sacrifice
I didn't know how much  love cost
Yet I worked hard to  suffice

Did I waste such labor  for less
Drowning in the river I weep
Alone I travel bearing this cross
Feeling a love and a sorrow  so deep

I turned to what once was my heart 
Bandaged a would . it  cries
Listening intently for beating top start
But  in silence so still it  lies.
