Don’t look at me with those sad puppy dog eyes
The ones that got everything they wanted with a simple word
Pouring from your lips
Oh how I will miss those sweet tender kisses
The kind that bled me dry from the inside
When you twisted my words into little white lies
Oh how I surmised it to be true
Those puppy dog eyes were damned if I do
And so we stepped into the dawn the very next day
Forever cha...
We weren’t sure if we were
Ready,
Because we definitely weren’t
Prepared,
But the wind was finally held
Steady,
And who really ever is aware?
Aware of when it is time,
To step away from what you’ve
Known,
A time to stop cowering, and
Reach for the throne,
The very top,
Far from the bottom,
No way to stop,
Fear long forgotten,
We weren’t prepared, but
Who ever is?
It’s a step to greatnes...
The lited door creaked as it opened, there was faces all staring a plenty.
The door closed firmly behind her, there appeared a face, shocked and surprised.
‘You gave me a fright’
Why oh why, I just stepped in the door?
Her gaze turned to his eyes, honey brown speckled with dots of yellow.
She knew she had seen them before, but where?
She did not know, she knew she was home - familiar j...
The moon was content,
To be amongst the stars.
Comet trails like scars,
Nothing to lament.
Against the canvas of night,
A background black as ink.
Onto horizon she did sink,
Her midnight dreams taking flight.
Dawn a ways away,
Stars twinkling brightly.
Beauty oh so slightly,
In this darkness she did stay.
Night trying to be rearranged,
Like a deer caring for her fawn.
And so we stepped into a d...
The void that you filled in each of our lives,
Now forever empty
The words that you’d say and things you would write, forever lay unchanged,
All of us here pray for the family and friends, wish you knew that you were plenty,
Maybe if we’d just spoken up or said these things before you left, things could’ve been different
But we didn’t and now your gone and each feels like they’re to blame, ...
We say we sleep at night
But really we’re always awake
Our minds churning
With the dreams we make
We run from the coming dawn
And take comfort in stars
For they are only small lights
Compared to the rising sun
But we can’t ever hide
From a inevitable force
For nature is nurturing
Merciless and corse
We run from the dawn
Hind from the light
For we’re not adjusted
To this new coming blight
And ...
i met you at dusk
it was the third wednesday of may
and your friends
and my friends
and you and me
were drinking sodas instead of beer
because we were wiser than our classmates
who thought that speaking to the cops
in a drunken state of mind
was the way to live life
anyways
you and me fought for a cream soda
which i later discovered you prefer over root beer
we finally settled to split it
until y...
What do we do, love?
We’re not young anymore.
A little tenderfooted,
Perhaps,
But not naive.
Some days I still recall
The ways we slid through
Time like it was a rain puddle,
Silvered mirror casting reflections
Everywhere I look.
We grew together
Like two sapling trunks embracing
When I open your paper tongue,
And speak your words,
I cry.
Should we abandon loss?
Or bid the mirror shards rem...
