Thinking of you laying in hospital, After being badly injured in a workplace accident. Where you leg was pinned, between a wall and a forklift. They had to operate on your calf Cutting open along both sides Now held back together by staples 42 one side 37 the other In so much pain and oh so bored. My thoughts and prayers are with you Wishing you all the very best for a speedy recovery.

Normally being one who believes age is just a number Until I heard of a thirty something year old, Dating a seventeen year old. Something about this just didn't feel right, maybe it's the legal possibilities. If I knew them personally I would approach them, And ask them to think about it and be careful. Maybe I would be told to butt out Or maybe they would say they had no interest, they were just friends, Someone who just...

Sitting here on a sandstone rock  Enjoying the sun with blue skies above Closing my eyes just listening  Hearing sounds of distant traffic, birds chirping all around  As the water in the creek flows across the rocks feeling the breeze against my skin. opening my eyes as I hear people approaching Watching a family walk closer  Acknowledging them with a friendly hello  They continue on, bouncing the basketball As they head...

Tears running down my face As I place ice on my lip Trying to reduce how much it will swell  As the corner of my right eye starts to bruise, Trying to work out what I did? And also why you think this is okay? Trying to get out of the way, Like I've heard said, so where in different areas doesn't work you block the path Jumping over furniture Whatever it takes. Reporting you to the police does nothing but just makes it wor...

The sun is shining, birds are chirping And there is a gentle breeze, Overall it is a beautiful day, However I am surrounded in darkness Feeling scared, unsure and very alone. Going through the motions of daily life As I plan for a future event That even the best outcome will be bad, As it will keep me from those I hold dearest. Tears running down my face As I write this thinking of my friends Realizing how my mood swings ...

As the words “It’s over” Still play over and over in my head I raise my hand to the window In an effort to touch you one last time. Watching as you get in your truck Close the door without looking back. I feel tears run down my face As I remember the silliness The fun times shared with friends To the moments of great passion. Wondering now if these memories Will haunt me forever.

As I sit here on the beach with the wind blowing my hair. Flicking though the pictures I have of you on my phone. Thinking back over our conversations A smile coming to my face Remembering the silly fun moments we shared The heartfelt conversations About personal struggles. Watching as you protect and help your friends And others as you felt necessary. Seeing some push you away Without giving you a chance to explain. We a...

Drowning deep within one’s self Echos of fears and memories past Pressures of self doubt Resurfacing from time to time Eroding what’s left of one’s self confidence Seeking, searching for something Some answers that may help end the insecurity Intoxication or drugs seem to be the key Only masking the truth behind the pain Needing to find the individual cure.

Have you ever been so scared That all logic and rational thinking Just goes out the window. You feel the best and only way to protect and keep those you love the most safe, Is to push them away and keep them at a distance No matter how hurt and lonely That it makes you feel. I know this might sound crazy at a time you need people the most To choose to distance yourself But all you want for those you love Is for them to be...

Looking back over my life I have always been shy and felt very alone.Learning very early on, that not every person is kind or caring.However the day we started talking That slowly begun to change.We spoke to each other regularly about anything and everything, Sharing stories and experiences . You were interested in what I had to say. And you really seemed to care.Slowly I lowered my guard and started telling you about thi...

Laying here on my bed Thinking about all the moments we have shared The long talks on the phone, texting And the occasional video calls. Talking about our lives Our past, present and dreams for the future. Learning about one another The good and the bad. I don’t know how you do it, But you can see the truth. Even when I try to hide it in moments of insecurity Your gentle words and tight hugs, Can make me feel safe and sec...

My princess deserves to be playing with dolls with long purple hair Or chasing rainbows to discover the gold. Not dealing with these issues, She is only a child. Our home is our castle, So she should have been safe. Why did this happen? What did she do? I guess I am to blame, Because I trusted this person They were like my family And I never suspected. So as I went out on the town Enjoying times with my friends My princes...

Was reading some posts on Face book today that alluded to the fact that people who share their problems and experiences are sad and pathetic people. It got me thinking, does it really? And if so, what does that mean about us who base our writing on our lives and or experiences. Are we too, sad and pathetic?? I like to think that people who are willing to share their hurt and difficult times are STRONG. I don’t know anyone...

After talking to you, I walked outside and leaned against the rail as I drag my cigarette and look out over the city.Wondering how this happened,how using the internetfills a need, a craving for affection. I guess I need to know,what happened to being with your partnerthem filling all our wants and needs,listening to our desires. struggling together to make things work communicating with each other to fix things. I guess...

Sitting here in my new home Thinking about the past few weeks Remembering all the drama And how it made me feel... How I tried to get people to see Maybe understand my point of view Instead, they decided to walk away. One thing has remained constant And that was you Although you didn’t always agree You stayed by my side Holding me close, Wiping away my tears, Telling me it will be alright Reminding me when necessary How v...
