YOUR WORDS

How it comes out
You never know
But the effect it leaves
Is sure to show
Either misspelt
Out of context
However you try
We still end up vex
Sometimes angry
Or plain down surprised
Think before you speak
It’s always wise

YOUR WAYS

A burst of anger
On a hot night
Without warning
You give me a fright
Puzzling thoughts
In a confused mind
From your actions
Time after time
Things come out
In a harmful way
Never meant to have been said
But said anyway

I just lay on my bed
And picture the moon and the stars
My thoughts float away with you
As you travel deeper and afar
I wish you here, with all my might
I wish you always, near…in close sight
My love for you surpasses the understanding of the carnal mind
Love so real
Bond so strong
Souls forever intertwined….

...........WAITING...............

Love has weakened me
You have weakened me
For you are my love
My only love…
Not a crush
Not infatuation
Not first love
My only love
There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for you
You call upon me any hour
You have my loyalty
All of my trust
My devoted friendship
But most of all
You have my heart….
Though time and time again
You crush it in your very hands
But still I say….
You have my heart
Hence you weaken me
Love weakens me
No matter what you do
You still and will always
Have my heart
But now…..
I’m just waiting for yours….

TRUTH BE TOLD

Truth be told
I have only found
Sadness in love
A body without a heart
Is nothing but a corpse
You live once
You love once
You die once
Truth be told
I lived, loved
And died all at once
For you see
I gave my heart to another
And to this day
It is unreturned
A blind eye he turns
Any hour we meet
His ignorance.....my destruction
His denial......my defeat

I PRAY IT NEVER COMES

You peer into my soul
You read behind my lines
You ask if I’ll miss you
Jokingly, I reply “No!”
And answer you with lies
A zillion happy times
Sorrow performs a ritual on my lips
As I hug you
For it’s time to say goodbye
Parting is such sweet sorrow
Isn’t that what William Shakespeare would say?
I pray it never comes!
I hope it never comes!
But I know I’ll have to say goodbye to you
So very soon... yet
Someday

Dedicated to my best friend, Joel

I AM BROKEN...

Like a bullet through a vein
Love pierces me over and over again
Like a pillar failing a beam
Love burst my bubble
It shatters my dream
I crumble…
I fall…
I am broken….
