I wrote this poem at a time I was hurting. I was going through a difficult time with my boyfriend because of his past. I needed an outlet and poetry was the only thing...
It hurts...
The first time he told me he still wanted someone else.
It hurt... God it really hurt...
His past getting in between our future
It hurts...
You wanna know why it hurts?
And this may sound cliche but
It's...

I saved you from saving me, I had no choice. I drown every time I see you.
I am sinking facing you, you are still- eyes wide shut. I am paralyzed in fear,
disappearing today together,...

I wake up every morning, Then I turn on the news, Do my eyes deceive me, I see just sorrow and the blues.
I see mass death and destruction, From a war that will not cease When in my heart I wish for A world of tolerance and peace.
I see men and women crying, For the loved ones they have lost, Now all that remains is a memory, Those lives have been the cost.
Is it just too much to ask, For you to open your eyes and see God cares not of race nor creed, All he sees is your divinity.
You are no different from your earthly brother You are just of flesh and bones, This body is made of star dust, Your spirit shares its home.
So when in times of terror, It is inward we must dwell, To save us all from this earthly life, That some might say is hell.
Reach out with understanding, Please, open up your mind, The way we fight this unspeakable horror, Is to be compassionate and kind.
For what you think is different, Is more alike than you may think, If you cast aside your judgement, You'll know that we're in synch.
I live in hope that some day as one we can unite. to fight this dreaded terror with love and hope and light.

With a wide flap of imaginary wings
I rise above the stream of tedious fuss
and there in the soaring flight
a silhouette of a new verse will flash
and my heart shall flutter thrilled by the birth
View this entryI had a very dark moment, and I just had to write down my feelings. P.S. It's not my most polished work...
They say sadness is the worst, but how can anything be worse than nothing?
This emptiness inside, this numb feeling.
I try to fill myself up, to feel something inside. I intoxicate my blood.
But, nothing!
No feeling...
