- you are sweet like chocolate i love you
Lifesavers
I awake each morning
without you by my side.
Why’d you have to leave me
Alone I am forced to suffer.
After you departed
a piece of me left with you,
Leaving an empty hole within my heart.
The only trace you left behind
was the pack of lifesavers half eaten.
I awake each morning and eat two,
one for me, and the other for you.
My Angel
Straying outside the lines
Falling through the seams
My outstretched hand
Clutches air
Where are you
My angel,
Come save me from
The loneliness of life
Darkness oozes all around
As I lose my grip on the world
I know you’re there
So why do you choose to hide?
Show me a sign
that you hear my heart
It longs for you
And nothing more
Footprints in the Sand
Grains of sand slip in between
sun-cracked toes–
Submerging them with every step,
Clings like a newborn to tired feet
A great distance I have been,
Through thick and thin I’ve walked
Along your footprints– so
We’d be together at the end
You lifted up a spindly twig,
And drew a line through the sand.
A line between us
That won’t be swept away.
So you walk on and I stay put.
The tide cleans away your footprints,
Until there is no trace of you, except
the footprints you left upon my heart.
Whether you return or not I can’t decide
but I will wait, and rest eternal in the sand
For the day I can awake and
The line you drew will be erased.
Train Station
I’ve been sitting at the station
Since the day you departed,
just me and dead roses,
waiting, hoping, dying
Days turn to weeks, spring into summer
People come and go as do the years
but on the bench I do remain
waiting, hoping, dying
The tracks have rusted over
and the station stands no more,
But upon the bench I sit, just me and dead roses,
waiting, hoping for your return
so I too may go on living.
Regret
What happened between us,
We cannot forget.
The things we did,
Can’t be undone
It’s not written in stone
Nor in our blood,
But embedded in our minds,
The leap of faith we took.
My mind is wrapped
Around what occurred.
It was sweet like chocolate,
Bitter like dark.
Taboos we broke
We cannot mend.
What we did was wrong,
A secret we now share
This sin we shared
Can’t be erased,
Though, we can repent
And start anew.
We both had promised
It wouldn’t be awkward,
We’d still be friends.
You lied.
I see you, everywhere,
So I sew my eyes shut,
But to no avail
For you, are in my head.
My thoughts have grown obsessive
My heart beats your name.
I long to hear your voice again,
To speak my name once more.
My breathing grows shallow
And goose bumps form.
Thinking of us,
Thinking of you.
My love — unrequited,
But for the best.
You’re too important
To lose altogether
Too many forlorn yesterdays
Put my anticipating tomorrows in doubt
Crying in tears of shameful regret,
I pray we can still be friends
With love comes sacrifice,
And my love I would sacrifice
For us to be friends,
To move on and forget.
We can’t change what we’ve started
But we can, together, hand in hand,
Re-write our fate,
And change how it will end.
