I set my eyes upon the moon.
Watching it distantly glow.
It looks but a sliver,
Hanging in the darkening sky.
Though I know it's whole, just hidden.
Not as it seems.
I wait for a word that will not come.
I want it so badly, I can picture it.
The moment plays over and over in my head.
Fading as a memory does with each rewind.
But those type of moments are gone,
Never to return.
I hang onto a notion. One that brings me pain.
I've made it a way of life. Every day.
Growing comfortable in this empty space,
I watch as you explain the thoughts in your mind.
I nod my head, I smile, I listen carefully.
And it's okay.
There are days
With ash in my eyes
Memories in mind
I come to you one last time
The pain too heavy
I can't help but cry.
Please take me in your arms,
Love me once more
Time is cruel but my love tender
Realize what you have
Before I am gone.
Never found such a person as you
When I see you, I see me
Dear friend,
Why can't you remember our beauty?
I know your fear,
I feel it well.
But we never know
Until we try
Please, not today,
Don't let this die.
With a scream boiling in my gut
I try to reach you, calling by your name
Lost. That's what you are. I try to believe.
Changed. I know but I refuse to give up.
Pounding at the brick, pray it will crack.
The wall between us is too strong.
Hands crumbling, spirit crashing,
I am losing grip.
Your face is the same, yet your words are hollow.
Remaining the same distant echo.
My skin grows cold, realization sets in.
I'm fighting a war I can never win.
My soul is a fleeting bird, flying from fire.
But yet my heart remains like a dying dog.
The friend I found in you will never be matched.
Your soul thirsts for sweet kindness and salvat
Living in this life, killing me each day.
I must change, I must not stray
Lord I'm breaking, I need You here.
I know there's a light, I can feel it shining.
Lord help me change, help me better myself.
Living through You.
I can feel the devil trying to chain me down.
I can feel the old cravings, the old habits begging,
I must not go back to death, I must kill the flesh.
Lord I pray for strength. I plead for life.
I am tired and my voice is hoarse
Why can't you see what I see?
The beauty under it all worth more,
More than you give, more than you care.
I cannot stop your self destruction.
Screaming I try to reach you,
Beautiful friend, horrible story
With your back to me you walk,
Walk into the fire, into the storm.
Why do you choose this path?
My words fight with the current.
Against all the negativity, all the pain.
How can I win this impossible war?
How can I sit back and watch you fall?
How can I bring you back from the grave?
So I sit in the dark watching you,
Watching your light fade into a dim shimmer
Tell me, does it make you fe

I shouldn't have let you in, but I did.
You took my heart and shattered it,
Like a piece of glass.
Why did we have to fall apart?
All I ever wanted was you.
I was a fool for you, but no more.
No more sitting here waiting for you
To come back to me.
No more hoping you'll see it my way.
I'm tired of these lies and your false feelings.
I do not know you anymore.
The new you has come to stay and
The old you has faded away.
So, watch me wave goodbye and you'll see that
I'm not waiting for you anymore.
We became a distant memory.
I know I've been here a while and I haven't done much of anything, the few poems you've read are probably making you scratch your head in confusion... The few that know me on here probably are lost or sick and tired of hearing about what's going on with me... but for those of you who don't know what's going on, or who care here's the skinny...
I made a few mistakes, major mistakes, with my last relationship, I let it get the better of me and I let him down, I was too young for the type of relationship that we had, it was mostly fear that ruined me and in return ruined my relationship. I was afraid of how close he was getting to me and how I
Love isn't a chore, it's not something you have to do everyday to keep me quiet.
Love isn't something you say to make me feel better after you break my heart. If you've broke it, doesn't mean you have to fix it. Move on if you want to damn it.
Love isn't a cage, you're not trapped, you can damn well leave if you want to.
Love isn't a video game, it doesn't mean that you can come to me and play with me whenever you feel like it, it doesn't mean that you can push pause with me... it's not something that you have extra lives that you can rely on when you do something stupid. You don't own me, I can walk away whenever I freaking want to, if yo
