Poems (Cont. 2)
These Tears Are Wasted
A dark cloud coats this single thought.
Permeating, it reaps what you have wrought:
Sadness, so wretched, is what you've brought.
And that's exactly what I've so longingly sought.
Why do you keep me up at night?
How can someone so full of light
Leave a man so dark with plight?
Our feelings are out of sight.
Your eyes, they show no emotion,
Funny, I'm not even surprised.
You could say it was a premonition,
That our love would be compromised.
We drown on tears together.
The forecast for tomorrow isn't much better.
It's so foolish,
To keep this false promise.
So go ahead and leave,
See if I stare.
So go ahead and bleed,
See if I care.

Hate
It consumes you, being dismayed and disgusted,
But I'll continue my disgraceful strife.
I've given you a reason, to have me distrusted,
Yet I'll continue my deplorable life.
Eyes fill with a cold, impassive glare.
The scent of brimstone on lips,
Effervescing forth to jeer,
Disguised in your malignant cheer.
Let me out of this steel cage,
And let me grow my wings.
Let me out of this war you wage,
Against my feelings.
I'm not acting any better,
In fact, I'm probably worse.
I can't say I even understand her,
Yet my throat for her cries hoarse.
I'm cashing a void check.
Wrote it out to Romeo and Juliet.
It cost me a fortune,
I signed it "Heartbroken..."

To Be Alone
Pouring confessions,
The darkest days have passed.
Now what am I to do?
Well I'm not through.
No, I'm not through with you...
Incarcerated and showed up,
It's time to break free.
These bonds that tie me,
Oh God, just let me be!
Just let me be...
Fickle and wanton,
I fell too fast.
Now what am I to do,
If we don't last?
Well, I'm not through with you...
Unbridled dejection,
There's an unfamiliar burn.
Your lack of love has made me learn,
To no one, I can turn.
I have no one to turn to...

Wipe Those Tears…
From your eyes.
Shh, there's no reason to cry.
Wipe those tears from your eyes.
Hush now, there's no reason to ask why.
Even a wound like yours will heal.
Closing up, that cut will seal.
Alone, you wish it wasn't real.
But you'll still have that pain to feel.
And now it's too late
To fight what is chosen by fate.
And now it's too hard
To fight out of what love has marred.
I might as well give up.
Throw in the towel.
Skip town and life, alike.
And one night you whispered in my ear.
"Fair is Foul, And Foul is Fair!"
Then you gently glided into the tranquil air.
_____
Don't Forget Me
I would take the risk,
Of laying my life on the line for you.
And no doubt meticulous,
Are these mellifluous thoughts.
My heart will never surrender,
For my love for you is unimpeachable.
Reticent is my hesitance for this.
Such ambiguity leaves me untenable.
But can't you see the decadence?
Can't you see the pain?
Off my soul, the blood I rinse,
As I stand in pouring rain.
Oh, can't you wash the pain away?
Oh, stop the flow of blood!
My mind has cause to be afraid,
For I lay face down in the mud.
As I lay here,
My body begins to relax.
The mist grants the cold, night air a chill of serenity.
I walked a thousand miles for you
To insinuate this harmony.
But please, just do me one favor?
Don't forget me...
_____
Vacancy
I lost the feeling in my heart tonight.
She ripped it out as I screamed my plight.
I lost the feeling in my heart tonight.
Although, it just felt so right...
Now I can start a new life
Without deceit and a black abyss.
Now I can forget about you,
And live in contented bliss.
You could say we missed the mark,
And we all paid a price.
That we all made mistakes,
And ended up in vice.
I lost the feeling in my heart tonight.
She ripped it out as I screamed my plight.
I lost the feeling in my heart tonight.
Although, it just felt so right...
And what do I have to hold onto
When it seems that nothing's left?
Well, surely not my heart.
No, surely not what's left... (of it)
And what do I have to grip onto
When it seems I'm always wrong?
Well, surely not my heart.
No, surely not what’s being done... (to it)
I lost the feeling in my heart tonight.
She ripped it out as I screamed my plight.
I lost the feeling in my heart tonight.
Although, it just felt so right...
It just felt so right...
So right...
So right...

To Try So Hard...
I try to lift my head up high,
But all I end up doing,
Is hanging my head to cry.
I try not to feel ashamed,
But all I end up doing,
Is pinning myself the blame.
I try to give her the world,
But all I end up doing,
Is showing my fist tightly curled.
I try not to be so depressed,
But all I end up doing,
Is making some progress just to regress.
I try to tell her my feelings,
But all I end up doing,
Is sending my mind reeling.
I try not to tell her I love her,
But all I end up doing,
Is make myself so much more sure,
That I really do...
