Pieces (9/13/15)

You broke my heart,
You bruised my soul, 
They will never heal,
They will never be whole.
You held them fast,
In your fist,
You squeezed so tight,
I felt them twist.
You ripped them up,
Threw them to the ground,
Scattered them to the wind,
So they couldn't be found.
In a million pieces they fly,
To collide in the squall,
As hard as I search,
I cannot find them all.

Death (9/13/15)

Is it lonely where you went,
When you closed your eyes for good?
Would you say that you're content,
Or do you wish you could?
This place you've gone, are you alone,
It is you and only you?
Is it scary, the unknown,
Or something that you knew?
Is it dark and bleak with nothing there,
Or filled with those you knew before?
Does darkness fill you with despair,
Or does hope spring evermore?
If only we knew the answers we seek,
Before we break our final breath.
If only we had a little peak,
Maybe we wouldn't have to fear death.

Truth (9/10/15)

It's hard not to care about what people say,
When you know it's the truth that they tell,
Having to hear it day after day,
Knowing the truth all too well.
You wish you could turn and just not hear,
The words they feel they must speak,
You don't know why they must intervene,
And make your life feel so bleak.
Now you must learn to answer the call,
To give them nothing to say,
They like nothing more than to se you fall,
But you can take that away.

Release (9/9/15)

Last night I dreamt about you,
Why doesn't it ever end?
Will I ever see you again,
Or are we done, old friend?
Do you laugh when you think
Of the fool I made of me, 
Chasing after what never was,
And what could never be?
If only the dreams would go away,
And leave me a moment's peace,
I could let it go forever,
And finally get some release.

Waves (9/8/15)

I want to drift off,
With the sound of the waves,
Whispering in my ear.
The feel of the breeze
Caressing my cheek,
The creaking of the pier.
The overcast days,
The breezy nights,
The tide is drawing near.
The sound of the wind,
The lapping waves,
Are all I want to hear.

Broken Heart (9/8/15)

What do you do with a broken heart,
A heart that just won't heal?
What do you do with the feelings,
That you just can't help but feel?
Why can't they ever be thrown away,
And just get rid of the pain?
Why does it insist on lingering,
Why must it always remain?
Just when you convince yourself,
That it's now gone forever,
You realize that it's there to stay,
And will never leave, no never!
