Cut Me Up

I've given up on you for all time
Your little group--you and your friends
I don't belong; I don't fit in

I've given up on being the one
Who another person could love
I'm never right; I live in night

I've given every thought and each dream
Wasted on hopes I will not see
I can't survive; I can't believe

I've given every feeling for bliss
Loving you, needing your kiss
I'll not get it; I long to scream

I've given, given with only pain
Vainly returned just to be hurt
I want to hate; I want to curse

I've given myself to this despair
Go, I really no longer care
I feel nothing; I've gone insane

You've taken and taken, then you leave
Forsaken, you hope I'll disappear
I was miserable with you here

I'm still alive somehow, not dead yet
I won't cry now, you don't deserve it
I won't ever let you see me grieve
I will never let you see me bleed

The ending lines are like a one, two punch-- I love them.

Bah, I've had the flu, leaving me with no time for the computer.

So, sorry again for not responding to your writing as much.

Oh also, I had it to moderate comments as someone left me a rude comment last week. I've taken that off now, though. I just didn't know if the individual would come back again and post, so moderated it for a bit to block that happening.

The Journey’s End

  old and new, I’m here waiting for you over the hills and under the sun waiting for you as life has begun waiting for you as long as we’ll be waiting for you as you waited for me again we go together my friend through these woods as deep as our sorrows we’ll travel this way into each day through mountains and glens til tomorrow gilded and golden, sapling in green dusty and dark, light with a spark colors abound throughout our journey filling our hearts at all we’ve seen making us age at every stage we’ve dreamed all of life's majesty in the oceans and ponds and what lies beyond footsteps echoing on the hard ground voices fading out til they have no sound we arrive here where we started before each of us the same yet now we've changed one of us lives and cries and cries the other lies down in this cold ground and closes her eyes dusty and dark, light with a spark we’ll travel this way into each day through mountains and glens til tomorrow

The Fourth Riddle

  The Fourth Riddle I’m a whisper on the wind A thought held deep within Imprinted on your bones I won’t ever let you go I know your name I don’t forget anything By design, I hide The truth from sight Hush, shush Don’t rush They don’t know yet Try to keep me quiet Be silent They might buy it I’m embedded in your mind Entrenched inside How do you sleep each night? Worried they’re nearby This train is a one way trip But did you want a ticket? Oh, you can’t get off Until the end of the line Hush, shush Don’t rush They don’t know yet Try to keep me quiet Be silent They might buy it Hush, shush Don’t rush They don’t know yet Try to keep me quiet Be silent You can still deny it You are a prisoner of mine A prisoner in your mind I won’t ever let you go I control everything I’ll follow you to the grave Shhh Don’t talk

Be Someone

When I shut my eyes And hold them tight The colors flash In my head so bright A whirlwind swirls The ocean’s waves A tide that’s fierce The sun’s sharp rays I think of you too far away You’ll never be here where I live You’ll never see this place Never have the same experiences Can I be someone Will it be enough Can we stay this way Despite the distance away I might still be the one You love I might still be the one You love Each day unfolds Going through these motions Attempts to care To be sane and well Not in a self-made hell Tired and spent Cracked and dry Lines forming on my hands Around my eyes I think of you too far away You’ll never be here where I live You’ll never see this place Never have the same experiences Can I be someone Will it be enough Can we stay this way Despite the distance away I might still be the one You love I might still be the one You love Can you be someone Will you be enough Should we stay this way Too distant and far away Am I still the one You love Are y...
