The world rushing past,
and here I am
on a lonely old park bench.
The tears falling down,
and here I am
on a lonley old park bench.
My life crumbling down,
and here I am
on a lonley old park bench.
Heat lightning in the sky
and between the sheets,
and here I am
on this damned lonley old park bench.
I am running so far
and so fast
from that park bench,
that I only ended up
right back here again,
just as lonley
and old
as ever.
Help me to run away,
away from this place.
Help me to escape
escape from this place.
I need help
to regain
the strength
that I once had.
to regain
the me
that I once was.
I need to regain
conciousness.
Time likes to slip by,
slip through my grip.
For me time turns to liquid
&
as much as I try to hold it
it leaks faster and faster.
Our time was so slim
so brief,
but I couldn't hang on,
neither could you.
I am made up of
pieces and parts.
Hours spent
putting this puzzle of me
back together again.
These parts are so fragile
that the slightest touch
can cause them to break again.
My pieces parts can be held together
by you,
you're my glue.
Even the hardest pull
cannot pull us apart.
You keep me from breaking,
and in turn
as do I
to you.
Everyday you walk right past me
Not acknowledging me
Like Im not even there
You must not see it.
How I idolize you!
I cant stop thinking about you
And I dont know why.
No matter how hard I try
Youre always there in the back of my mind.
I want to stop this madness in my head
But as long as youre there
I wont go away
But at the same time
I dont want you to leave
I feel like Id be a little less full without you
Im not sure what it is.
Its almost as if you fascinate me
I cant tell
Maybe its a crush
Maybe its because youre everything t
The flood of tears has been released.
It comes crashing and knocking at my door.
But I cant
I wont
I wont let them in.
Cause if I do theyll suck me under again.
They wont go away
The keep banging for me
to open the door.
The wailing is deafening to my ears.
It never stops
It cant
It wont
Not until is sucks me under again.
My door begins to splinter
I see the tears leaking through the cracks.
Then my door,
My protector
Snaps.
And the flood pulls me under again.
They got their way.
They took me out of my place,
My protective place.
The only place I could be safe.
Nothing left no
Not a teddy bear or a Hallmark card.
I give you a shoe.
It is a protector that journeys with you forever.
It promises warmth
like the strong embrace of your lover.
Here.
It will entangle you with knots
like entwined fingers.
It will make your heart
a flustered array of emotion.
I am trying to be sincere.
Not a red rose or a chocolate heart.
I give you a shoe.
Its perfect attributes will find you in time,
rare and one of a kind
as we are,
for as long as we are.
Take it.
Its cotton laces can come untied with the choice of being refastened,
if you like.
Sturdy.
Its frame will add to your strength,
add to your life.
Watch her
As she keeps it all together
No one sees the silent tears
That run down
After dark
After the bedtime stories
After the tucking in of
Three children in the only bedroom.
Shell be sleeping on the couch
Wondering where the rent will come from this month
Where the food will come from this week
Where the lunch money will come from tomorrow
The checks are never enough to
Keep full
Keep clothed
Keep warm
Keep learned
Keep happy
Keep entertained
This warrior can never break down
For there are three whole worlds on her shoulders.
And even though her back is aching
she cant break down now

You cant force words
Even though you can try
And try
And try.
Push, look, search all you want,
But if they arent there
Then there isnt anything to find.
There isnt anything to push,
There isnt anything to search for,
Anything to look for.

Wouldnt it be great
If you could find
Nothing
And write that down.

When we were together,
Life was a tropical paradise
Where the water was crystal blue,
And the sun shone always.
When I was with you,
Life was beautiful and time stood still.
Our summers together felt like a
Never Ending Story.
When I was with you,
I was never lost.
You were my star in the sky
That always shone brightly,
So I could find my way.
When we were together,
Life seemed less complex.
You were an ear to listen
A shoulder to cry on,
My anything I ever needed.
But not everything can last.
People change, and so did you.
Your bright light went out
Leaving me dazed and confused
In the cold dark night.
It started t
I'm Sorry
Remember the time in the third grade
When I broke that springy Santa in your kitchen?
I'm sorry.
Remember when in the fourth grade
I said you were my second best friend?
I'm sorry.
Remember in the fifth grade
When I couldn't decide between
Going to school with you or Tasha?
I'm sorry.
Remember the time in the sixth grade
When we had that big fight
Before going to Camp Mi-Bro-Be?
I'm sorry.
Remember in the seventh grade
When I decided that I no longer liked you
For not much of a real reason?
I'm sorry.
Remember the time in the ninth grade
When I kept that big secret from you.
I'm sorry.
Remember how when every
The day started out fine,
Everyone was normal and kind.
But you knew it couldn't stay like that.
It never does and that's a fact.
Just about mid-day,
all the kindness went away.
He had to start with her,
he just couldn't let it go
he never could
and probably never will.
You sit and endure their harsh words
knowing they dwon't end soon.
Neither will stop till the other swoons
and fall under all the words.
But what they don't realise
is that you will drown
if they don't let up on the lies.
You can't stand in the dark anymore,
so you jump to the floor
wanting to slam a door,
not caring anymore
what anyone thinks.

When I was eight, the world was a different place.
The years moved at a snails pace
And summers were everlasting gobbstoppers,
In which life seemed so much simpler.
When I was eight, I would sit with my sisters on our cement slab of a porch
Making up ridiculous silly dance moves to our favorite songs
When I was eight, my sisters and I would make lemonade,
Put it in our rusted old wagon,
And pull it down to the street corner where we would sell it for 25 cents.
The wheels would squeak loudly as it bumped along
The uneven and cracked sidewalk.
So we had to go slow
In order to keep the lemonade
From sloshing out into our rusted old

There once was a girl,
She lived in a tiny little cottage
surrounded by an immense garden
of daisies.
All of her friends
lived nearby.
In gardens of lillies,
forget-me-nots,
honeysuckle,
and most of all
was the girl that lived
in the garden
of a thousand
roses.
The little rose child
and the little daisy child
grew up together
in their gardens.
The two children were
two in the same.
They loved each other
more that anyone could.
But soon weeds started to sprout up
in the garden of daisies.
Killing all of the daisies,
leaving nothing, but dirt and weeds.
Everyone in the town
shunned the poor little daisy child

Fall to the ground.
And once it falls
its ever so difficult to pick it back up.
And the more it falls
the more it cracks,
and then
it breaks.
And once broken
there really is no mending.
So,
this balancing act
goes on and on,
with me being
oh so careful
not to have it fall.

Hating you Loving you.
I hate you.
No really, I do.
I hate you so much,
that I don't even know why I do.
I hate you.
Okay,
so maybe I don't hate you.
I don't like you.
You bother me.
A lot.
....
Well,
ok,
I don't not like you.
You just...
fuck.
I don't know about you.
I don't know.
And I hate not knowing more that anything else.
I just want to fix whats wrong, but I may have broken it in the process. I don't know I'm doing anymore. And no one is helping me to find out what I should be doing. I keep on getting mixed messages. I don't know. I'm just going to delve myself into my work and school. Ignore everything else. That may not be the best idea... but what else am I supposed to do?
