Poetry: November 2003

Some of the most painful words I've ever written are being written now. I guess it's the only way to express how I truely feel. I apologize for it's negativity.

"Last Wishes"
November 1st, 2003

I don't want to be woken up
It is the beginning of a new era
Unknowningly leaving love behind
Hurling over from the reality of it
 
Bringing my knees to my chest tightly
Finding some security in a cold corner
Leave me here once and for all
Let the truth be known I carry no purpose
 
Drifting in and out of normal life
Spending my last days in solitude
Closing my eyes remembering
What could've been a long time ago
 
Writing out my last wishes now
Hoping that on that fateful day
They won't ignore my unusual beliefs
And respect the man who gave his all
 
Laying with the cover closed over
Hearing the songs I left behind
Echoing through memorial hall
Curious to see who bothered to show
 
"I ask this of all of you now
Those who never asked how I was
The door to leave is in the back
I cared deeply for you all. . . always
 
Mom and dad, you raised a son
The little boy never grew up though
Hiding deep inside the body of
The adult male laying now so silent"
 

"Broken Wings"
11-4-03
 
Feeling so cold and unwanted
Touched by the angel I once knew
Wondering if my blood will dry
Will the wounds left by nature heal
Hearing the song we felt passion to
Seeing the art you created for me
Memories of what could've been return
Enveloped into darkness, hiding from truth
 
Broken wings will learn to fly again
Flowers will bloom again in the spring
This heart may now never become free
Tortured or set free by the loss of it's destiny
 
A new day dawns as I see our sun rise
So many times we express ourselves all night
Hoping inside it can somehow be felt again
That somehow it will one day make sense
Why something so filling was taken away
Someone close, my future and life and love
My sanity pushed as far as it can ever go
Completely alone in this pain, it's only for me
 
Broken wings will learn to fly again
Flowers will bloom again in the spring
This heart may now never become free
Tortured or set free by the loss of it's destiny
 
Never will a day go by not feeling sorrow
Always will a day go by wishing it different
In hopes understanding by someone who sees
The severity of how hard it is to lose your soul
 
Completely alone in this pain, it's only for me
Learining to somehow live without my destiny
My baby taken from me without her achievement
Her heart never filled with love and contentment
Please let her know that she became my within
Stiving and trying to believe that I am forgiven
For not taking a risk and not gently coming to her
Feeling empty and silent now, I can only seek surrender
 

"Dreaming Roses"
11-16-03
 
You know I loved the way
I felt your fingers on my back
Closing your eyes as we lay
Silent away from all the stress
Many don't seem to understand
My views and interests for life and love
There's a lot in my past to be ashamed of
You just accepted my life as it is
Falling in love anyway, you took a chance.
 
The sunrise approaches outside
Rolling over, I realize that I'm alone
Another dream that I couldn't keep
Seems this life has a sense of humor
Staring up and thinking to myself
That I don't see what they see
I roll over and close my eyes again
 
There you are again my dear
I missed you while you were away
Will you stay with me this time
Or will something come up again?
Feeling so good within my small arms
Your mass and heart becoming my prize
I kiss the tears from your tension away
Please don't let me wake up again.
 
The sunrise approaches outside
Rolling over, I realize that I'm alone
Another dream that I couldn't keep
Seems this life has a sense of humor
Staring up and thinking to myself
That I don't see what they see
I roll over and close my eyes
 
Have our lives crossed paths?
Give me a sign if you are there
I don't know who you are yet
Somehow the dreams bring me closer

 

 

"Brief Moment of Confession"
11-02-03
 
Distant are the voices once heard
Appearing in my mind as if it never happened
Walking a path of destruction now alone
Even though those memories still remind me
Closing my eyes, not bearing to think any longer
Closing the gap between myself and reality
Losing the hope which pushed me so far
Losing the love that I expressed so free
 
The intesity of the pain not seen by them
Though it's my fault, the hurt grows the same
Sleeping all day and not seeing the sun
Learning to live as the one who doesn't fit in
Wondering what has happened to me?
Is it all self inflicted or even a destiny?
Welcoming death if it may come
Though I will not create the events myself
 
The person you admired and respected
Is now dead and gone, no longer exists
An empty mass of flesh remains today
Could you forgive me for losing touch?
Losing emotions as night turns into day
Day after day the events play out the same
The fake personna seen by those around me
Rarely getting me to talk about how I feel
 
Curled up and silent in the place I call home
My ears ringing from the nothingness I hear
I open the notebook and write once again
Hoping you'll forgive the loss of emotions within
I must end this brief moment of confession
Not enough energy to keep the truth going
Maybe one day I"ll see you again as I was
Maybe I'll never bounce back and die as I am

"In My Thoughts"
11-12-03
 
Dead roses in dirty vases
My friends the cockroaches
The feeling of nothing overcomes
What day is it now, I forget
This room seems so big when empty
Could it be it'll never fill
Now the heat is broken again
Trying to erase any left memories
 
Please close the door
It's far to bright outside
Please leave me behind
There's nothing more for you here
 
Blood fills the marble sinks
Cuts heal, but the pain still stings
Dizzy and unwilling to push on
Seems like I've seen this before
Looking in the mirror again
Eyes looking like death itself
Showing the destructive power
Of one's overcoming guilt
 
Please close the door
It's far to bright outside
So nice of you to drop by
What have you come for this time
Please don't let me speak
Far too negative for your wishes
Please leave me behind
There's nothing more for you here
 
She smiles and looks into my eyes
Talking of subtle things innocently
Turning to him she walks away
I guess I had nothing more to say

 
"Morning Light"
11-26-03
 
You seem to be searching
Something to make you whole
Getting passed on and on
Many stating your disease
Coming to you like an addiction
You crave the attention and love
Even for a few short minutes
As you get the goodnight kiss
 
You know he'll be gone
Come the morning light
You don't care about my departure
Continuing your desperation
 
What is it you lost long ago
Need to experience "freelove"
Missing the whole point completely
Not learning what is actually love
You may find that one day
But as you run down this path
The pain inside returns
Again you roll over and cry
 
You know he'll be gone
Come the morning light
You don't care about my departure
Continuing your desperation
 
I never kissed you goodnight
Never knew how gentle a touch could be
I walked away and will never regret
Knowing that someone else will learn
Maybe you'll wake up one day

"The Last Page"
11-30-03
 
Each day
A new dawn is born
Each night
The last sunset is shown
Death is inevitable
But one can choose to exicute
Knowing their life
Will never be the way they loved it
 
Walking into their rooms
Sitting on the bed for the last time
Looking at pictures of family
The mood bringing an earie gloom
They close their eyes and breath deep
Putting their signature on their last page
Ending the final chapter of an unwritten book
Laying back their hearts make the final beats
 
Who can say what is right or wrong?
The one in pain sees it differently
You and I can't comprehend the feeling
As we only are looking on and not living it
One cannot judge their actions even though
It seems selfish, we sometimes have to "treat" ourselves
Not being able to give others the gift of oneself
Overcome with guilt, they succumb to inevitability
