I see you
When you think no one else does
Crying in your room
Or writing in your little book
By yourself
But not
Alone

Monsters
More and more
I find monsters wherever I go
They hide in the shadows
or behind the faces of people I know

*Inspired by a line from “The Witcher” which I just started watching.
The Day I Tried To Live
My truth was too hard
to pick up
so I left it behind
and lived a lie

Show Me How To Live
“Tell me why I should live”
she whispered
as she took the first step into nothingness
“So that you can show me how”
was whispered back
as gentle winds lifted her above the abyss

Inspired by “Tell Me Why” by Josephine Ranes at https://wordpress.com/read/blogs/117996443/posts/5628
*When I read the last line, it made me think of the song “Show Me How To Live” by Audioslave which made me think of a child wanting her mother to teach her how to survive the trials of life.
Kindness
The kindest thing anyone ever did was to ask me to be their friend.

Trolls
Why engage the troll when you can find another way across the river.

Got’cher Back
I’ve seen what they’ve done
under the guise of love
maybe to make themselves feel all big and bad
or maybe just for fun
Beaten and battered you
taken everything you own
pushed you down again and again
made you feel alone
I’ve seen some of the choices you’ve made
struggling to make yourself some semblance of whole
taped and glued yourself together
and built that wall
How it hurt me to see you take another fall
But here I stand beside you
helping you to your feet and patching up your knees
helping you walk into the coming sunrise that is your due

Fools
I watch her
from across the room
headphones on
singing to the music
and dancing in her chair
in that silly way she does
And in that moment I think
how foolish they were
to let her get away

girl i used to know
Isn’t it sad
I have to walk by her window sill
just to know if she’s okay
this girl I used to know

But A Memory
What was once
so important
and cherished by me
has become
nothing more
than a memory

*Received one of those wonderful Facebook memories pertaining to my ex today.
Home
When the pain is too much
don’t run and hide
just come home
When life’s burden is at your feet
don’t pick it up
let me carry some
When you want to run away
because you don’t feel good enough
run to my waiting embrace
When you feel lost
with nowhere to go
know that home is where my heart waits

*Inspired by the line “come back home, Just come home” from the song “Where’s My Love” by SYML
Magic Man
When we are apart
how I wish I was a magician
With the wave of a hand
I would unite us again
A portal appearing before me
as the moon breaks the horizon

Diamond Veins
I wished my love
could fill her
until there was no need
for the therapeutic
cut of the blade
DRM 2019
Inspired by
“Diamond Veins” by French 79
*I sometimes find myself attracted to those in some sort of pain and wish I could take it away. The title made me think of a few cutter friends of mine.
Release
He thought of her every day
even though he didn’t want to
But with every thought
a piece of her was let go
Until the time came
when he didn’t think of her
any more
