And as the days went by

She looked at herself unsure of what she was doing anymore

and her worthlessness became two-fold bringing doubt

and self-loathing

It was a relentless march as people disappeared

She wanted to tell people so bad of her suffering

but yet remained silent, burying herself deeper

Days darker, and weeping in strange times

Before bed, in the shower, driving.

It’s all the due to the abandonment 

The lacking of 

Love.

 

 

 

A Dream by Stream

These days seem long, stretching boredom

I remember old days to quick to blink

Anxious of yesterdays and todays

If one looked, I’d respond with a confident wink.

I promised I wouldn’t stack the past,  but put it away

I won’t look down, easy to be on the brink

Silver, shiny guiding star

Bring me bright hope, faithful hope you are

Sing so clear a beautiful dream

And sail it on a boat and send it by stream

Send me a break

A piece of cake

A duck filled lake

A two year old child

A daisy field wild

A family mild

A sleep in calm

An open palm

A mind in peace

A sweet release

Send me a dream

Send it by Stream

 

Flower Shop

Oh dear friend

I didn’t know you were suffering

Like me

I didn’t know how nervous you were

If I could

I’d take you away

We’d go to this place

Where we could have long walks

And sip coffee 

There would be no worries

You’d read those books you like to read

And I would write or paint the sunrise

And we’d laugh about silly stories

You’d open that flower shop

And it will have coffee and books

And people would drop in for good conversation  

We’d return to our lovers for the evening

They would have their way with us

Treating us like queens 

Making us laugh.

As the night fell we would be drunk with love

And meet for a patio dinner, sipping wine

And I’d kick you under the table for being so silly 

And we’d laugh about it the next day

I would take you away 

Dear Friend

Just smile

It takes you in and you are sinking below it

Sometimes the fear of it is worse

So you hide and be silent

And maybe it won’t see you.

You’re eyes are wide

Dare you look up

Maybe it’s best 

To keep busy

Working and working 

So that when it’s near 

You won’t be caught up

Just smile

Don’t let them see the fear in your eyes

Be good they said

And nothing will happen.

But you are good. 

Doing your best.

It’s never good enough.

Just smile she said.

Never let them see your fear.

It doesn’t matter in the end

It doesn’t matter

Just smile 

My friend

We Should Chat

You and I dancing about

this game we play

you fighting me and I numb, and distant

it’s been lonely here

without your love

and I want to tell you so much

and can’t.

Afraid.

I’m sulking, stuck in this state

trying to laugh more

and not be so

dark

and when I’m alone

it gets darker

wanting love

That’s all.

We should chat.

I know.
