Why Not?

Hello There
How are you?

Do you have any ghosts?
Any memories that haunt?
Any people you wish weren't there?
I do.
I have ghosts that aren't dead.
Memories that...
On second thought
I won't give you it.
I won't give you what you want to hear.
You want to know my life is hell.
You want to know that you have broken the fourth wall.
I have a few words.
Because we are acting in theater of the absurd.
Why continue your charade?
Why waste yourself?
When you have what you want?
Or is she not enough?
Was she never what you really wanted?
My sadness is your true goal.
She is just a way to get to me.
A pawn in your game;
I refuse to play
I cut you off, deny you satisfaction.
But this isn't about you.
It's about me.
Always.
I am alive.
Like the hills.
I hope you got that.
I did.

The truth lies in what you know

Not who you know.

Teardrops

The rain beats heavy on us
As your tears flow
Blending with the river on your saddened face
I look into your eyes
My words cut through the air
Straight to your heart
You want to leave me alone
And never look back
You want to give up
Every word a raindrop
Every syllable a molecule
Sharper then crystal
I want this
But not this way
Patience is a virtue
But the way is paved with sorrow
The rain leaving constant reminders of how things used to be
I can’t leave like this
Not this way

The Broken Mirror

The rain falls in sheets
Soaks me to the core
Our words like static
Broken by the drops on your car
The rain distracts
From the pain
I can’t react
Like I used to
I wish
For just one moment
Things could be better
But I can’t begin to pick up the pieces
Left by this brokenness
I try and look for my reflection in the broken mirror of our hearts
But only seem to break it more
Make it worse
The shattered pieces
Distort the true message

I am peace but violence

I am the wolf
I howl at the moon
I draw you in with a look
I am the black bear
Warm and comforting
More dangerous than I appear
I am the hawk
Soaring beautifully with talons out
Ready to strike
I am the pheonix
Burning and Brilliant
Embracing you in fiery destruction
I am the mind
That understands life
And knows how to break it
I am the body
Built on difference
Able to woo you to pieces
I am the spirit
Seeking to shine
But only drowning
I am the "good"
That draws you close
And breaks you to bits
