I won't tell you
Every time I take
one step closer to you,
you push me away.
I have to think
before speaking to you now.
That's not how I know you.
So, No.
I won't answer you
Not now.
Not Here.
Sit before me,
I will tie you to my couch,
so you cant run and hide,
you can't brush me off,
you can't scream your mind,
you can't polish with a lie,
you cant frustratedly ambush me
Now look me in the eyes
and ask me any question.
I will answer you.
Not like this,
not when you are behind
the facade of technology.
You hurt me a lot.
I don't know where you are in your life.
I don't know where I stand.
You would say,
I was frustrated,
but why because I was scared?
Yes I am happier when you are around.
But you did two things which you shouldn't have, you left me to find my own happiness
and you let me get used to you not being around.
And I won't answer.
I won't tell you,
Not Now
Not here
@Mephobia Yes. Yes. Yes.

@Mephobia i just had to write the first thing that came to mind after reading it. it resonates with me a lot...it's such a beautiful poem. it's making me cry reading it again
A solitary tear rolls down my skin,
I had hoped that they would not begin,
I'm usually a master at hiding my pain,
But unfortunately it's become to strong again,
I try ever so hard not to be weak,
Yet a man stronger than I would surely speak,
All the pain, sadness and anger I feel,
Makes each day seem so surreal,
I remember I laughed and even smiled too,
But was it for real ? I have no clue,
Ive become a prisoner of my own mind,
No longer feeling like part of mankind,
I know it's stress that causes my frown,
Depression makes me hide within the tears of a clown,
I know it's my illness surely you see,
But it's been so long Ive lost grasp of what's me,
Who I was seems like a distant dream,
Who I am makes me want to scream,
I live in a nightmare; no chance of waking,
My sanity is what my illness is taking,
Worry not about me for I shall survive,
I will fight on to live even though I am not alive,
I will break free from my bonds and my shackles,
I will fight on and eventually win this battle,
Although right now my life may seem bleak,
I'll find a way to break my losing streak,
I can beat this thing in the end,
And then my heart and soul I can mend.
It throbs
It breaks
It bleeds through
Pain.
It crawls
It spreads
It makes one feel dread
It aches and it burns
And it's like the world doesn't turn
I'm breaking
Shaking
But still I stand
And still I stay
I make it through to another day
For the longer the cold dark lasts
The brighter the light shines
And the further the night stretches it's clammy fingers across our vast skies
The more beautiful the sunrise
And the brighter the sun shines
Lovely, thank you..
I want to hate you.
Oh I want to hate you so bad.
But I can't hate you at all…All I have for you is love.
So maybe I should hate myself for loving you, even when I know you aren't mine to keep.
I dream of love, a love so fine,
of hearts of souls that intertwine~
I dream of love a love so sweet
a love that sweeps me off my feet~
I dream of love, one so unique,
the kind of love that can't be beat~
I dream of love between you and me,
I have you now and you have me~
So off we go, just you and I
No longer a dream,
Your now my guy~
Just you and me, and me and you,
together at last, together so true~
A patron drinking 3 beers and a coffee at the pub I am
Hiding Loneliness which wishes to burst at times like a broken dam
Longing for a Hug
Each and every chug
Wanting to shout out loud Hey I need a hug just hold me for a bit
Sure would be nice of Hi again wasnt just it
When i first started coming in Hi how are you each and every smile
Now a regular and feeling taken for granted once in a while
Only 3 servers remain that are personable and nice
Others that I have commended seem to have become a little cold as ice
Sometimes I still feel like im now taken for granted
Suprisinlgly surpressing myself where I havent ranted
Yes I know thier dollar and tips are the bottom line
But it sure would be nice to feel a little special again in time
Its funny when you pay the bill they ask whats on your agenda for today
Why couldnt you ask me that during the 3 hours I stay
At times I wish I wouldnt have such a soft heart
But thats who I am in my lifes part
What is a man suppose to do
If loneliness is the only thing he knows through and through
i wish you knew what it feels like to be here in this moment
to breathe you in and lay down beside you as our hearts meld into one
and fade into sleep
i wish i had the words
I wish I had just told you
How deep your words had cut
To turn around and slap you
For calling me a slut
I wish I could be strong
And finally speak my mind
Because you've always been so wrong
And I've always been too kind
You abuse the fact I'm shy
I may have loved you before
But you call me when you're high
Just to call me a fcking whore
So I wish I had just told you
That you belonged in hell
No matter how much my heart still holds you
I know I have to say farewell.
Her flaws so perfect,
like they were just made for her
to laugh through.
Bursting at it's seams,
trying to hold her in.
He is not of perfection
He is not of wealth
He is not of beauty
He is of his own creation
He is of dignity
He is of quality
He is of nature
He may not be perfect
He may not be of wealth
He is not of beauty
But he is of my heart
For loving me
Only but how he knows best
That's all I ever can ask for
Is his best
