I hurt in so many different waysToo many to ever speak ofAt times, the pain is too muchBut I smile with tears in my eyesAnd never say a wordI want to scream and stomp my footI feel my heart is breakingI cry silent tears But say everything is okThe distance is getting greater Different choices are being made Your time is not for me Many things are changingLeave me if you mustBreak my heart in twoBut know before you goMy lo...

Once loving words turn hateful Warmth succumbs to frigid frost The greatest joy becomes dull While tomorrow's hope is lostThis has been the life I know A truth always and constant And so my defenses grow Walls built to house a giantTo keep others protected Safe from my own inner gray And myself from future dread But there is a price to payA lover’s sensual grace A bright smile in gratitude Or merely a warm embrace All giv...

Outside, a scattering of forlorn leaves clung to the dark, wet limbs of trees bordering the deserted playground and half-empty parking lot behind the red brick apartment building. Cold, misty rain and swirling winds hastened the inevitable outcome of this doomed struggle. For Gwen, watching from inside her snug bedroom, it was a beautiful scene. The nasty, late-December weather had given her a great excuse to spend the en...

In the city late at night,Just me, my music, and my gun.A light drizzle through the haze,Orange light posts shine along the street,Illuminating millions of droplets in the halos.Hard cruel and dangerousBut beautiful too.I walk the city late at night,Just me, my music, and my gun.

You believe me if I told you a story, Of a girl who was so lonely, She would break her own heart To keep from falling in love.You might think this strange, Maybe she is deranged, Purposely keeping everyone away, Even those she trusts.It seems so clear some, She doesn't like anyone, So she becomes a burden Upon her own heart.Such a black and white case, They assume in haste, With the real problem clear, She can't get past...

A crowded roomBut all my myselfNo one to count on Being scared to trustThe tears start to flowPretending againNot letting others see The real me The things that once wereAre not anymoreSince you came my wayTo open the doorTrust and believeyour voice and your smileHeld tightly in your arms For alone I am not anymoreI love you baby

Somewhere in between,the useless child I was defined to be,and the man I hope to someday become,lies a path I can barely see or understandSomewhere in between,the liberation and joy at being told "I love you,"and the emptiness as another love turns to disdain,lies the key to a cycle I cannot breakSomewhere in between,the voices of friendship and compassion,and those voices turning to condemnations,lies a heart that cannot...

Standing on the edge... The brink of nothingness.... Alone... Empty... Hopeless... Unloved... Broken... Shattered... Piece by piece... Floating away... One anguished memory after another... Broken and jagged... Ragged and sharp... Shard after shard ripping through... Heart... Soul... Mind... Body... Consciousness... My life flies by... No reality to grasp... Shattered pieces... Here and there... Forever broken... Repairs...

As I sit at the table and drink the hot coffee My lips feel the burn The heat going down my throat Brings tears to my eyes I let the tears flow freely Smiling I seem to feel the heat going throughout my body Into my soul My mind is screaming But no sounds are heard My heart is pounding But no one knows The power of hurt that is within Shaking and looking around I say if someone is watching and listening to me Ohhhh the co...

My heart has been shattered, Into a million pieces, Ripped opened, My tender love, Spilling out. Unwanted. Pushed away. Leaving me alone, Confused, And feeling stupid, For believing In empty promises. Days turn into night, Night into days, As I stumble, Through, Not sure Which direction, To turn. Scared and alone, Desperate and unsure. My head spinning, My heart cracking, My face flooded with tears. Sad and alone, Without...

My mind is racing, With every word my brain spews on the page I feel part of my sanity come back. Part of my pain is lifted, Part of my heart mends itself, But only for a moment, Because once this poem is over, I get thrown into the darkest part of my head. In this place, I am told I am worthless, stupid, not worthy of life. I argue with voices inside me. Voices, so many voices circling me! I scream and scream, But no one...

I'm under the bed.An old shirt in hand.The scent welcoming and strong.I close my eyes.Block out the lies.Pretending nothing is wrong.The shirt dries my tears,That nobody hears.Wishing once again I was home.Holding you near,Calming my fear.Even though I am actually alone.

When we speak alone, we are free to say anything. We say things we normally would not and we dream up perfect scenarios where we always win. When we are alone, we are our own champions. We are the creators and masters, and nothing can defeat us, not even death. When we dream alone, we are always the hero. We never do wrong, no matter what we do, and we always earn a medal. But when we speak together, we watch our words wi...

You showed up near the barn today.Pretty cat, a coat of smoky grey. I spoke, you jumped in fright.Instantly leaping, taking flight. Whoa, relax, no need to run away. Pretty cat, a coat of smoky grey. I try to reassure with a soft voice.You continued to run, your choice. Wondering to myself, are you a stray?Pretty cat, a coat of smoky grey. Brought to the country, dropped off.No way to treat an animal, I scoff. Snows deep,...
