Poem: Day Dream

Day Dream

I wanna be somebody's somebody
I wanna be loved for me
I need mental stimulation
Along with the physical relation

A woman who can stand on her own
But knows I got her back if she falls
Willing to tell me when I'm wrong
But still loves me all along

She needs to have her own thoughts
And willing to give her opinion
But still be my fire
And I her desire

Someone to just chill with
Someone to cook for
Being there when times are rough
Being there when the going gets tough

A woman who can keep me humble
But still respects me as I her
A lady who I can get lost in her eyes
And kiss for hours and never realize

The scent of her skin drives me wild
The notion of my touch makes her smile
I enjoy the smell of her hair
Someone who wants me near

Poem: Heal

Heal

Here I lay in this bed
It seems big without someone
I'm in no rush to fill it
But it makes me feel alone

When I come home
Their's no one to greet me
Just the ticking of the clock
And the silence from that morning

I check my emails
Surf the net
But still I feel the void
I can hear the loss

I don't want to bother
My friends or family
They have their own problems
They don't need to deal with mine

I try to keep myself occupied
Try to find a distraction
But nothing is working right now
Soon I will move on

I lay in bed, thinking
Picturing things in my mind
Trying to work thru this
Trying to piece myself back together

Eventually I'll feel better
Who knows maybe even love again
The pieces will be put back
And the damage repaired

Poem: Detour

Detour

I'm doing it again
I need to catch myself
I've been down this road before
Why do I keep trying to travel it?

I know what lies ahead
I've felt the pain before
But yet again here I go
Its like an addiction

I need to stop
Now’s the time to turn back
Before anything begins to hurt
Before I lose myself

Take a deep breath
Relax and move on
Avoid this road
Take the detour

The sign up ahead
It reminds me of the pain
The pain and heartache
That lay ahead for me

I must turn away
Protect myself
This time I must surely
Avoid this road

I have to force myself
Will myself
To follow another path
If for nothing, than my own sanity
And my heart

Poem: Speculation

Speculation

Can't assume, have to wait
Gotta play it cool
Keep it undercover
Don't wanna be a fool

Don't wanna take a miss step
Don't want to lose a friend
But if I come forward
That's what may happen in the end

I have no clue
Not even a sign
Maybe I'm making this up
Maybe its all in my mind

I walk a dangerous line
Maybe a line I shouldn't cross
But its eating inside of me
Can I take the loss?

I enjoy the conversation
The mental stimulation
I just wonder could it be
Could there be interest in me?

I doubt I'm the type
Probably out of my reach
Maybe I should leave it alone
May not be for me

But isn't it nothing ventured
Nothing gained?
But can I take the loss
Can I handle that pain?

Its tearing me up inside
But I must make the right move
Have to time it right
So much I could lose

But maybe I should just
Put this whole idea away
Keep it the way it is
Let it remain this way

Poem; Scream

Scream

My soul screams at the pain you caused
It shouts with the scar you gave it
The agony it feels
Your the cause

My emotions are fucked
They yell to be free
But must remain in check
I don't think I can handle them

My mind screams
As it is confused
As to what the fuck is going on
It can't make sense of this

My heart is heavy
With the pain it feels
It cries out loudly
Not understanding why

Every part of me feels the void
The emptiness, the screams to be filled
You caused this, you created the hole
I cannot accept you, that hurts too much

The screams of my soul
Everyday and every night I hear them
Over time it will stop, it will heal
But now it just hurts so bad

Poem: Grey Matter

Grey Matter

A bullet in the brain
Would surely stop the pain
The emptiness within me
The loneliness around me

I feel so alone and lost
Bored, nothing entertaining at any cost
Just want to splatter
My grey matter

Maybe someone could read the mess
Take a look and guess
What was on his mind?
Ah yes, suicide

Not looking for sympathy
Just a way to end it quickly
No fire, drowning or pills
Just a gun, a quick kill

Do it in public pull the trigger
Would be cool I figure
Watch people scatter
As I release my grey matter

If only I could
I surely would
Head in tatters
Release my grey matter

Ah the sweet release

Poem: No, Yes, No

No, Yes, No

You ask can I forgive, yes
But I cannot forget
You ask can we repair, no
The damage is too great

You ask is there a chance, no
I'm ready to move on
You ask do I hurt, yes
Every fucking day

Were you looking for something, no
Just something to try
Your sorry, no
Your sorry you got caught

You ask will I touch you, no
The pain is too great
You ask will I love you, yes
Always in the past, not in the future

You ask me why
I ask you why
Neither answer makes the other happy
Not the answer we want to hear, no

Poem: Your Affair

Your Affair

I ask myself why, I don't understand
I know its wrong, so so wrong
But I can't help it, I long for you
Even though you'll never truly be mine

The time we spend together will only
Remind me of that when we're apart
I can't fall into deep, that's not allowed
This is just a fun for both of us

But at some point, one of us will be hurt
And then that will start the fall
The relationship will crumble
One of us wants more, but cant have it

The times will be great but eventually
All things must end. As they must
And we will just be a memory for both
The goal not to leave too damaged

Poem: Side Dish

Side Dish

New, different, not the same
I know that's all I am to you
I am a side dish to the main course
I'm the treat you indulge whenever

I know the rules, I know the score
I'm not a fool, I knew what I got into
I can't blame you, I could say no
But my loneliness tells me otherwise

This is your game, I'm just a player
I'm going along for the ride
But eventually my newness will fade
And this toy will be discarded

Someone will get hurt, probably me
I'm the damaged one, you have stability
Something with you I cannot have
I would never demand it, cant

So I ride, knowing where it goes
To an eventual end and pain
But I can't say no, I have to try
But always being the side dish

Poem: Cover Up

Cover Up

On the outside I appear strong
But there are times when I cry
I'm like anybody else
I hurt, I have emotions

But I have to keep them in check
I have responsibilities
I have obligations to keep
I cannot breakdown

I have to do that when I'm alone
When nobody's around
That's when and only then
I can let my guard down

I do hurt, don't think I don't
I feel it everyday in this lonely house
The walls closing in on me
The silence reminds me I'm alone

I sit there trying to break
This depression I'm in
It will take time, a lot of time
And every now and then I still cry

Poem: Fracture

Fracture

My soul is alone again
Just it and me together
Another fracture in the construct
Another piece to repair

This time it will
Take longer to fix
The fracture is deep
Close to the core

But time and will power
Will help the new foundation
But still my soul will never
Be 100%, never like new

My mind will cope with
The fracture in my psyche
I will trust again
But always keep an open eye

The fracture in my heart
Pains the most
In time I will be able to
Again give it to another

But nothing will happen
Until I close the fractures
The fractures you give me
Your parting gift

I don't hate, but I should
I just want it to end
Want to move on
Me and my fractured soul

Poem: Her Whisper

Her Whisper

I feel the darkness closing in
The loneliness creeping from behind
I hear her whisper, a chill in the air
I feel her fingers touch my mind

She comes when I'm like this
Alone and by myself
I try to fight it
Sometimes there's nothing else

I feel her seeping into my pores
Intoxicating my thoughts and dreams
I've been with her before
Its like I never left, forever it seems

She with her dress as black as night
And her wild hair blowing in the breeze
She wants me to kiss her
As I fight her I fall to me knees

Instead she comes to me
She pulls me close
I try to turn away
But I can't, I can't let go

I cry in her embrace
She slowly fills the hole
I know this is only temporary
Until I fix my soul

I stay within her embrace
I let her comfort me for awhile
To regain my strength
To heal myself

Poem: Empty

Empty

I can feel my heart begin to freeze
I'm so lonely I can't stand it
Too quiet when I come home
I'm slowly going crazy within myself

I need to feel a touch
I need to hear a voice, not just mine
I finally realize I hurt
I hurt so bad, I just need to cry

I hate you more than you know
You ripped me apart inside
I'm torn and worn from you
You are the reason for this pain

I hate this place
Too empty for my soul
I just wanna curl up and cry
But what will it solve

I could take you back
But that would hurt even more
I scream when I'm alone
Which is almost always

Amazing how things can change in a blink of an eye. I go from famine to feast. I just hope I'm not spreading myself to thin.

Poem: Damaged

Damaged

Everyone has been damaged
Through actions of another
Because of life
Because of a lover

We all have scars
They just can't be seen
Reminders of pain to us
Nightmares to our dreams

We all have baggage
From years of strife
The goal is to not acquire
Too much to carry thru life

We all have done things
We're not proud to tell
And we all have
Numerous regrets as well

We all come damaged
None of us come new
Some just hide it better
On some it shows thru

All of us are used goods
All are second hand merchandise
We get recycled over
We get repackaged and re priced

Before you point too anothers
Look at the damages of your own
You just might find
They're not the only one...

Damaged

Poem: Shadow Walk

Shadow Walk

Shroud myself in darkness
Bring the light away
Heal my wounds
Hide in the corner

Numbing to the pain
Eyes dry from the tears
Fists clenched in anger
Must release it, let it flow

Hide in the shadows
Let them receive me again
Let the black waters cleanse my soul
Close the wounds, stop the pain

My heart becomes black
My emotions close off
My eyes become cold
I store it away, where I store all my pain

Walk in the shadows
The despair washes away
Fills the void, takes hold
Caresses my soul, I smile too the touch

Poem: Free

Free

He's been waiting
Looking for a crack in the wall
You just gave him his release
The beast is unleashed

Time to uncork the bottle
Let this horse run
See what trouble I can cause
See what I truly want

Maybe I should thank you
You made me see things with clarity
The veil has been removed
I feel I can find my path

Another scar, another battle wound
Nothing new in a long line of disappointments
Time to break my shell
Time to raise some hell

Poem: Dream of...

Dream of...

Sedate me, put me under
Stop the dream flow
Wipe my mind blank
Let the nothing rush over me

Start the I.V.
Drugs run to my veins
I succomb
Coarsing thru me

Anything to stop the pain
Distort reality
Just some relief
If only for awhile

Shut my eyes
Still there
Need something to dull
Something to shut it out

Sedate me
Medicate me
Placate me
Inject away the pain

Looking for peace
Real or concocted
Liquid or pill
Bottle or needle

I'm not hard to please
Give it to me
Let the pain flow awayDream of...

Poem: 4:30 in the Morning

4:30 in the Morning

4:30 in the morning
No one to call my own
I keep waking up
Not use to being alone

I look at the clock
Time staring me in the face
I rollover the beds empty
But that wasn't always the case

4:45 in the morning
Another 15 minutes have passed
Things weigh heavy on my mind
I have to handle so many tasks

I have to move forward
Soon cut all ties
Get on with my life
Let this bird fly

5:00 in the morning
I really need to go back to sleep
But its hard sometimes
When my emotions begin to creep

Sadness strikes me
And loneliness swirls around
I just lay there remembering
How everything went down

5:15 in the morning
I really need to stop watching the clock
Close my eyes, go to sleep
But the thoughts won't stop

Questions so many
Answers so few
I need to let it go
But analyzing is all I now how to do

5:30 in the morning
I'm starting to drift into a dream
My eyes are heavy
I can feel the sands of sleep

I'm falling into slumber
As I look at the clock
Its 6:00 in the morning
And the damn thing just went off

Poem: Complicated

Complicated

Here I am
I do not pretend to be
Any other thing
Than a man

I am not perfect
I have my flaws
I admit them
And yes, as a man, I am that simple

I like my "toys" and gadgets
And yes I can act immature
But at the end of the day
I can still be loyal

I admit women are complicated
They're like a puzzle
We try to get the pieces to fit
Sometimes it confuses us

Your emotions sometimes
Shock us as they come so fast
And a women can destroy a mans pride
With words alone

We are intrigued but yet
Still confused
Sometimes it would be easier
To just tell us what you want

At times your sweet
As the sweetest candy
Other times your venom
Stings without warning

But yet we come back
Because of instinct
Because we knowNo other way

Poem: A Dark Room and a Fifth

A Dark Room and a Fifth

A dark room
And a fifth
All I need
To cope with the pain

Let the tears flow
Dull the senses
Slur my thoughts
Pass out and dream again

Scream at the world
Scream at myself
Throw the bottle to the wall
Teary eyes look at the broken glass

Vent my frustrations
Drown the pain
Let the alcohol flow
Stumble on my ass

A dark room
And a fifth
Liquid pain relief
To drown my sorrows

The pain stops
If only for tonight
But I knowI'll pay for it tomorrow

Poem: Living in Oblivion

Living in Oblivion

Numb me up
Stop the pain
Reality hurts
Bring the rain

Drug me, drink it up
I wanna be oblivious
The hole in my soul
Being tough is so frivolous

Medicate me until it stops
I wanna smile while I bleed
Stop the emotions from hurting
I don't want to believe

Infuse me with a prescription
Prescribe away the pain
Join the other cattle
I'll smile as you complain

As my world crumbles
I dance like a fool
The drugs are working
I just sit and drool

Not a care in the world
I'm numb as I cut my skin
Pop another pill
Living in oblivion
