The most beautiful home,
You let me in.
A bi-level, whose rooms
Where filled with everything
I had ever wanted.
You said, 'Don't go
Upstairs yet',
So I waited.
And I loved it,
every minute.
One day I went to
The yard, the flowers
needed watering.

and locked me out.

You laughed, when it seemed we each knew everything about the other.
I smiled, because you did.
Then laughing again, you said "We've known each other too long."

I should have taken the hint.

Caring, love,
then things
went sour.
Neither happy,
no more smiles.

Rough ending,
Disrespect.
Many tears,

Then silence.
Nonexistence,
erased.
As though
it never were.

What a sensation,
To live for.

Motivating.
Encouraging.

Live for someone.
For your life
To mean nothing
Without them.

Why is it so hard to understand
To believe.

snow.
tattered & torn,

dirty & forgotten.
now
spared just a
passing glance
from a train.

When they arise
From their quiet fields,
To shake the towers and counsels of the Great
Though I do not know the way
Who of all the Wise will have foreseen it?
No evil, unless a man bring it hither himself.
You know not what you say.
And saw a crown of stars appear;
As gems upon a silver thread;
Above the shadow of his head.
West Wind blew there; the light ( Read more... )
