Vortex

Tears streamed down the pallid face
Showing proof of her disgrace
Incoherently swelling with unrelenting pain
Broken, fallen, and ashamed
To amass in this emotional whirl
Swirling and turning in a lyrical blur
And his emotions remain ever so lax
Hidden behind a impenetrable mask
Ignoring all her hopes and dreams
Focusing instead on what he needs
He can not recognize her bleeding heart
And so he continues to rip it apart

Destroyed

Two little words slipped out my mouth
Stop Please
But you continued to proceed
To rape away my hopes and dreams
To shatter everything that makes me me
And so I lay naked by your feet
My heart and soul torn out
Squished under your heavy weight
Left here forever to rot and decay

Sharing the pain

I forgot the pain for a moment or two
While I was having this conversation with you
It seems that I have become so traumatized
My memories have turned into lies
And the things I think to be reality
Are simply scattered day time dreams
But While I was talking to you
I realized I am not alone
My torture is not just my own

You share in my unrelenting pain

Pandora’s Box

Ruined
The box is broken at her feet
The emotions flow within
And the hatred that she feels for him
Tainted
Clouded by a sea of sin
The box is shattered on the tile
The precious gift destroyed
Abused
By the hands of one so vile
And the wrath of the woman rages on
The emotions can not be seized
But persistently the truth remains

Pandora will not be pleased

Failing You

I question your purity at times
I wonder how you can speak such lies
Regret the temptations that plague your soul
Think of you as not really whole
A stranger in this house you seem
On your own not part of our team
You always tend to lack the sympathy
Refusing to recognize empathy

It seems that I have made you this way
Added too much responsibility
The words the doctor said
Hit the nail on the head
It is my fault you hurt a girl today
I guess you didn’t know another way
And gently the tears run down
Falling from my face without a sound.

Baby Mine

There is this spot on your face
That crinkles up just so
Every time I take a bite
From that first little toe
To watch your innocence over run
Like a sea of endless hope
You are to be the blessed one
To save us from ourselves
Your smile brings simplicity
A break from my hectic day
And in you I find the ability
To make the world fall away
Simple beautiful child
Your soul is like a dove
Your faith is still unbridled
Full of hope and trust and love

Shattered Glass

The symbolism of glass
Gets to me sometimes
Its ability to pain
And how it  
Presistently remains
Poetry encompasses
The power of that shard
It envelopes all my meaning
And leaves behind ugly scars
But today the glass really shattered
Among the toys and litter
And the taste it left inside my mind
Was disgusting, sour, and bitter
And the poetry
Not severe
Not as potent
When I really was able to fear
But where were you
When the shards
Really gouged a hole inside of me
You were pretending again
Wishing you were someone else
Who had never met me

Apology

It is stuck in my throat
The apology I know I owe
But somehow
No matter how I try
I can not make the words come out this time.
Why must I always apologize
For dissolving away your youth
For granting you no freedom
For forcing you to face the truth?
I understand your feelings
I feel that way myself
But somehow
I have learned to accept responsibility
And recognize my ability.
I am a parent
Made that way by you.
Should it not be made apparent
That you should be part of this too?

Leaving

Am I really so transparent
My tear does not run down
It doesn’t hit your heart
And falls without a sound
Am I really so pathetic
My heartbeat doesn’t send
A tremor down your spine
The way that once it did
How can you fail to understand
The fears that bind my feet
And fail to comprehend
Why I admit defeat
My world is not a play
With a happy ending within
Instead it is a nightmare
Full of pain, lies, and chagrin
Will tomorrow bring emotion
Hope from your uncaring soul
Or will it be void of devotion
Love and self-control
I wish you to understand
To view the hell that I see
To live my daily life
Make you be all that is me
I know that you fail to understand
The life it is I lead
But maybe through my eyes
You will witness why I flee

Climbing

I am the wings that help you fly
That help you soar through the twilight sky
But you hold the ambition and pride
That helps you touch the clouds so high

This is a guide to help you soar
To make your climbing less of a chore
To help you achieve even more
Remember it is you I most adore
