Secret

A secret love, can be the most painful kind
A secretly torn heart
An unsustained, unfulfilled
A secret left locked in a box hidden
In darkness from all those who seek it

A cry, a whimper that awakens hope
That slowly fades to dust
A secret lover untouched, not found
A love that draws you near but pushes you
Away all at once

An inner battle rages within,
To tell him or not to tell?
The pain hurts more on those sleepless nights
The secrets of the untold
A stolen kiss in the darkness
As t… Continue

Sweeter

His lips are my savior
His touch my substance,
His eyes are my evening sky
Guiding me into his arms, home

His arms are my blanket,
Keeping all things out
Allowing only love and warmth within.
There is no safer place but here in his arms

His lips soft and tender
I drink his sweet kisses
A drop of dew falls upon my lips as we stand in the rain,
And he removes its with a simple, soft kiss

My temperature rises when I see him,
The reflection of the heat in his eyes
Makes my pulse quicken,… Continue

Memories

Shadows from my past
Chase me in the dark,
Secrets that should be heard
Demons that shouldn’t be released

My memories collected in my mind
Like creatures in a haunted house
A dark maze
From which I can not escape

Skeletons in my closet
Clank and rattle about noisily
As the memories haunt my everyday,
My living horror movie, my nightmare

Scars

Laying here by myself
Wondering what you are doing and if I’m on your mind,
And as much as I don’t want to I must confess
The thought of you causes words and actions to race through my mind

I choke on words at the sight of your smile,
Your beautiful eyes sparkle in the sun
You stand out from the crowd, seen from a mile
The touches you give me potent, leaving me stunned

Laughter echoes in my mind; thoughts forever running
Of what could be; dreams racing, pacing
The confines of my head
Il… Continue

Tonic

My only companion is the quiet of my own despair
My loneliness destroys any thought of hope or happiness
Distraught in my own confusion
Decrepit thoughts of suicide fill my mind

As I select my poison
Thoughts of family and opportunities
I can never receive
Enter my thoughts before the poison touches my lips,
I let it fall as I think of my sister,
My grandfather,
Of their disappointment, their sorrow

The thought of them is a bandage
That slowly heals my torment
My pain
Their smiles the t… Continue
