A Bottle of Gin

It’s 2 a.m.,
And I’m alone again.
This bottle of gin,
Is my only friend.

Why did you go?
Cause I need to know.
What went wrong?
You were so strong

Why did you leave me?
You didn’t think twice.
Did you feel free?
When you took your life?
Were you even thinking?
Who would pay the price?

It’s 3 a.m.,
And I’m alone again.
This bottle of gin,
Is really emptyin.

What did you do?
I really miss you.
This pain’s too strong,
And it lasts so long.

You took my heart,
When you went away.
You tore it apart,
And left me here to stay.
When did you start?
Thinkin “Nobody cares anyway”.

It’s 4 a.m.,
And I’m alone again.
This bottle of gin,
Was my only friend.

Why did you go?
I really miss you so.
Why’d you leave me?
I’m so empty.
What did you do?
I’m lonely without you.
How do I not cry?
When I say goodbye.

Broken Trust

As days come dark and dreary,
Quickly does my heart grow weary.
With sunshine fading and rain drumming,
No longer is my heart humming.
That happy hum has gone away.
Replaced with coldness here to stay.
But it’s not about the coming winter,
More so of a painful splinter.
Not like ones found in fingers though,
But the kind that causes heartache so.
When someone that you care about and trust,
For some dumb reason think they must,
Hide a truth they know will cause pain,
Even knowing their lies drive you insane.
In tired words they slip a bit,
But more of which they won’t admit.
To your face instead they lie.
Making you want to cry.
They think they’re helping to protect you,
But they don’t know what the truth could do.
It could end so much confusion,
And stop all hopeless delusion,
But most of all it could bring amends,
To two such people, who were good friends.
Yes, there would be an open heart sore,
But what exactly are friends for?
Except a shoulder to cry on,
Until all your pains gone.
In any good relationship,
Honesty’s a must,
Because what’s a friendship,
With broken trust.

Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep

Now I lay me down to sleep.
From my veins my blood will seep.
I will die before I wake.
To the grave my soul I’ll take.

Across my wrists the knife will slide.
No longer will I need to hide.
From this pain I will be free,
Away from all this misery.

Darkness fading with my life,
With the help of a kitchen knife.
Now as night turns into day,
My life will finally slip away.

To the grave my soul I’d taken.
I did die before I’d waken.
From my veins my blood did seep.
Now I’ve laid me down to sleep.

Goodbye

There’s a lot that I’m confuse about.
Some things I really need to sort out.
It’s just really hard for me to open my heart,
Cause it seems that every time I do,
It just gets torn apart.
I care a lot about you,
And I know you feel the same way too.
That’s why this is so hard for me to do.
But I’ve been running from this pain,
And it’s driving me clinically insane.
Last night I broke down and cried.
Cause I finally realized,
That I could no longer hide.
I can’t escape how I feel.
It’s all just too real.
I wish this didn’t have to be.
But I know it’s unfair of me,
To drag you along through my misery.
So baby please don’t cry,
But I have to say goodbye.

Poetry

Expression, creative expression,
That's all poetry is.
Full of anguish and confusion,
Happiness and delusion,
Sadness and obsession.
I admit, I have a confession.
I'm a selfish writer.
I don't write to make someone else's day brighter.
I write to make my own load lighter.
I don't care what others may gain.
I just do this to stay sane,
And that's exactly how it's gonna remain.
So why do I write poetry?
Because it's my escape from reality.
Now why don't you just leave me be.

Just Can'T Stop

I don’t know what I’m doing anymore.
I don’t know what I’m here for.
I feel like I’m falling,
And I just can’t stop.
I can see myself spiraling,
But I just can’t stop.
Endlessly downward,
My life seems to be going.
No looking forward,
I feel like exploding.
Just can’t stop.

I’m watching this world pass me by,
And I just can’t figure out why.
My money I keep blowing,
And I just can’t stop.
Weed I keep on loading,
But I just can’t stop.
Sleep deprivation
Is getting the best of me.
Along with depression,
How can this be?
Just can’t stop.

I’m on an endless roller-coaster ride.
I just can’t get off; I’ve tried.
Up, down, twists and turns,
And I just can’t stop.
Going so fast it burns,
But I just can’t stop.
Too fast,
I’m going to have to bail.
Get a body cast,
I’m going to derail.
I just can’t stop.
Just can’t stop.
