The darkness descended upon the night, So heavily you could hear it hit the ground,The birds still sang their songs by day, But I could no longer recognize the tune.My feet ran furiously, But I gained no ground.I reached out,But no one was there.I looked upon the faces of the crowd,But no one seemed to know me.And the truth was, I barely knew myself.I got down on my knees and begged forgiveness,Guilty of what, I do not kn...

I want to teach my dog,Some tricks that are new,Like sit, fetch and heel,As a dog’s expected to do.But after many hours,Things are not going good,For despite all my efforts,She won’t do as she should.She can’t fetch to save her life,And it’s just a little ball,But instead of carrying it back,She’ll just let it slip and fall.My nerves are starting to fray,It seems that I’ll never win,Far from concerned with her failures,Sh...

I poured out every thought upon the page, Filling it up with all the rage and anger, That you have instilled inside me. My pen literally quivered, As I held it in my sweaty hand, Yet the words flowed swiftly, As venomous as any snake, And almost as deadly. As I poured the last of the wine into my glass, I reviewed my handiwork. Three pages of anger. Three pages of hurt. An expression of all you’ve done to me, As best as I...

The walls are corroding, there are no mirrors no goddamn reflectionsno hint of color--or is it too much color--everything is white, blank, bare, barren, empty, pale, plain, unfilled, unmarked, untouched, unused, vacant, vacuous, virgin, virginal, void, white She didn't like how it felt in there, so she left; but me, I was trapped.It's colder in here than it is outside in January on a iced out sleety day with nothing to do...

At family gatherings throughout the year,There are those who add to the holiday cheer,Those who brighten up your day,Every time they come your way.Most are a pleasure to be around,As fine as any friends I’ve found,But, there are a few I’d like to lose,If I could only pick and choose.Some that are a pain in my rear end,I’d like to delete like a Facebook friend,Others who insist they are family,But sure don’t look a thing l...

We’ve been together for so long,And I think the time is right,Something I just need to ask you girl,And I need to know tonight.So much has changed for me,Since you came into my life,I need you so much, you see,And I want you for my wife.So girl, will you marry me?As I’m down here on my knees,It’s with you that I want to be,I’m asking you baby, please.I never thought I’d find someone,As sweet and kind as you,Someone I can...

Did You Ever Feel The Same?I remember when I first laid eyes on you,You were the best I’d ever seen,I’d never seen a woman like you,I was wondering where you’d been.And I recall our very first date,As I stared into eyes so blue,I felt myself falling in love,Head over heels for you.Refrain…But there’s so many unanswered questions,And I’m not going to place the blame,I just have to wonder sometimes,Did you ever feel the sam...

I fell for someone hardOnline.Seemed like the perfectFit for me.A number of steamyText messages and Instant messagesGave birth to Two hot stories.Everything came toA screeching halt.No connection online,No greeting on my profile,Not even a phone callTo hear your voice.Are you a real person,Or a figmentOf my imagination.

I sit in a chat room by myself, Only nineteen more days to go, One day I’ll be a legend, With another badge to show. Next I’ll try to add some friends, I only need ninety-eight more, I might have to do some recruiting, Perhaps go door to door. I’d really like my story to be famous, But I’m more than a few views shy, Maybe if I click on it every day, It will be famous before I die. I should have my Enthusiasts badge, I tho...

Another birthday came and went. Big fucking whoop. When you’re a child, you relish on the fact that you have a birthday and everyone gets to share it with you. That only happens when your birthday is during the school year. If you were born on a holiday, Christmas break, spring break, or that time when the school year is over, you got to celebrate with your classmates. The ones born during summer vacation always got the r...

Maria would never amount to anything. Girls like her never did. It wasn’t like she really had any choices, that’s just the way things were and everybody with any sense knew it. To think otherwise would be mere folly. Girls in her part of town never amounted to anything. The best she could hope for was to find a good husband some day, and hopefully escape the welfare system life she knew all too well. Growing up in a third...

It seems the Rascal’s head’s in a swell,Of this fact none could dispel,Her boasting that she’s always correct,Is just a phase, I would suspect,Though to be certain only time will tell. Risking the harmony of this peaceful site,By going around boasting she’s always right,So, in the meantime we’ll let her be,And when she talks, we’ll just agree,Than try to correct her and risk a fight. And where this thing should be put to...

I thank you for letting me love you, I thank you for letting me know your arms, Your gentle touch, your delicate charms, Your special smile you give to me, For all the love you give for free, For being there to understand, For letting me hold your hand, For making me feel I’m the one, You want to be with when the day is done, For showing me how much you care, For when I need you, just being there, I thank you for letting...
