So what do you do for the last few days of college, when the exams are over? Have a ball, of course. You might not have much money to spend, but when did that ever stop you? These are your salad days, after all, the last before you go out into the big wide world and face what they all call reality. Best to make the most of it while you can. Right now, we’re chilling on the grass in front of the hall. There’s Jimmy and Max...

Leaving the past behind

I miss you... Let me rephrase I missed you. And there's nothing wrong with that. But I can't sit around anymore reminiscing, I can't wait for you to come back. I know you won't. I know the chance you would even read this is slim. But I am not writing this for you, at least not directly. I just finally found the words. They evaded me since you left. I hit the lowest I had ever been, but that's not because of you. It didn't...

My Parachute

You were my parachute.

You were my parachute,Always opening, rescuing mejust before I hit the ground.  Now, it seemsI am free fallingNothing is catching me this time. When will I hit the ground? You were my whiskey,When I had nothing but a needSo it seems,even whiskey goes bad.  You were my firekeeping me warmWhen my world was coldPerhaps, I’ll just freeze now. You became my everything,You still are, My love doesn’t end Just because you left. 

Can you not see, what you do to meYou've taken away all I used to beA fire that once burned so bright Now there's only darkness in the night The tears continue to flow each dayYou persist on pushing us awayA good mom and loving wifeIs all I ever wanted to be in lifeNow I'm angry and unsure Soon I may walk out that doorOur boys no longer careThey want to leave your lairDaddy's little girl will never seeWhat it is you do to...

I had to let you goI liked you more than you will ever knowI told myself I wouldn't tell you and I didn't I acted like I didn't careThe last time I saw youYou acted like me and I acted like youYou listened when I spokeWas it all a game or just a jokeYou gave me half answers to my questions You never wanted to commit one way or another I'm tired of the gamesSo I left and you wished me happinessYou told me when you're done...

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...

I went away todayDriving in my carI thought of you against meHow warm and strong you are I went away todayTalking on the phoneGripped by those blue velvet eyesYet I was all alone I went away todayGoing through the mailThinking how you tie your tieYour collar slightly frayed I went away todayYou never left my mindThe way you call me “lover”The way our thoughts entwine You went away today.

Which way do I turn?  When everything I see reminds me of you you where such a big part of my life  now you have to go away It is so not fair  Because it wasn’t your fault  You were only doing  What came naturally. I am sorry I could not help I really did try, But they wouldn’t listen or couldn’t understand  What it would be like to be you. Therefore, they said you had to go Now my heart is breaking I didn’t realise you w...

Death, As Told by a Dead Person

Death may befall you at any moment. Be careful.

My mind is blank,As I write this verse,though it would be,I'm in a hearse.I was pushed in a stank*,and left to rot,and when I was found,I was covered in trot.A terrible woehas befallen me,and I don't think anyone will come. Not even family.I float around and I see my beau,goodness, it's her!She's sad, but gorgeous,and wearing faux fur.I've left her behind,the only woman who I ever loved,and her tears she's wiping,with a h...

I tell myself it's good to let goBut I know I'm fooling myselfRemembering the pain of a love gone wrongTrying to move forward day by dayAs I close my eyes I see the one I once lovedTrying to start a new daySo I look deep into myself Gathering the strength I need I start to put the pain behind meStruggling to start something newI look to my friends for their supportLending me an ear, a hug, or a shoulderEveryday being a ne...

I look back at youSee you standing there, no appealYou're looking at the past meNeither of what we see is realI'm staring at a ghostSomeone I'm pushing awayYou see who you thought you leftNeither the same as that dayNo more heartbreakNo more tearsNot for usI've stopped my fearsOur daughter is growingShe's no longer yoursYou left us bothI've closed the doorsShe doesn't know youShe never willNo more chancesHow long for the...

Herself

Before she knew it, Janie found herself in one of her former hiding spots.

Janie turned onto the old gravel road and stopped. The old cruel memories she left thirty years ago came flooding back and made her almost turn around and head back to New York to beg for her job she had just quit a week ago. At that time, she felt it was the right thing to do. Now, she was not so sure. She had not seen her mother since she left that dreadful day. Now she was getting ready to travel down the long gravel r...

No More Words

A woman gains the courage to leave a toxic environment.

They had nothing to say to each other. After all of the backstabbing, infidelity, name calling, and beatings, she'd had enough of his shit. She looked in the mirror at her busted bottom lip, chipped front teeth, black eye, and the splint on her nose. She decided to leave everything behind, including her husband. She jumped a mile when her cell phone rang. “Hello?” she asked nervously. “Are you ready to go?” the voice aske...

On Leaving

an expression of my current troubles

Please, leave me alonePlease, pretend that I'm not hereIt's too much to askCause you must harassAll I want is peaceTo pace behind the mowerTo wash the dishesTo take care of thingsYou look for powerEverything belongs to youYou leave in an hourThen I can breathe againI must leave this placeBefore you sufocate meBefore I hate youTo look for some peace

We walked the lonely street Our feet keeping the beat Of a song not sung, of a word not said I walked in front, yet you led. We traveled over grass, pavement, and sea Swam the mighty channel in 1963 There was always something left to do Something left for me and for you. Time passed slowly, then quickly, then too fast Ah, how I wished those times could last When you and I were still one One being running under the sun. Bu...
