Here is another quick collection of some of my poems, these
are a few of my darker poems, well if you can call it that anyways,
they aren't like my usual poems, all of these were written
right after a bad break up with my ex... Again I would love
hear all of your comments on any and all of my poems posted...
And Thank You again...


Just A Girl

Theres a certain girl, I used to know, who taught me how
to cry.
A certain girl who taught me truths but also taught a lie.
A certain girl who showed me love, and showed me how to grieve.
A certain girl who helped me live, until she had to leave.
A certain girl who made me weep for every time Id laugh.
A certain girl who touched my soul, and who tore that soul
in half.
A certain girl who knew me, without knowing me at all.
A certain girl who made it easy for a fool like me to fall.
A certain girl who brought me joy as surely as she brought
me pain.
A certain girl who I adore, and also do distain.
A certain girl who broke me when she chose to close the door.
A certain girl I can say with conviction, I will love forever
more.

YOU

I saw the sun set today. Its beautiful colors cascading
the evening sky. as the sun lowered, I watched with amazement
as the colors And the sky it self had changed. So different,
yet just as beautiful A different shade of orange or purple
The clouds subtly change places and shapes And as each moment
passed I watch how slowly And how subtle the changes were.
The clouds were always moving and changing, The colors
moving from one shade to the next. It was beautiful to watch.
I was distracted from the beauty for only a moment. The changes
that occurred were no longer subtle and amazing It was abrupt,
as if looking at a different sky Maybe a different day Either
way, the moment was gone I was not one with the sky Yes the
sunset was still beautiful But the distraction took something
away I turned for just a moment and I was no Longer part of
the sky and its slow moving Dance across the sky. I tried
to get the moment back, but it was different The warm feeling
I felt was missing. This was a new dance that started in a
different place. As I sat and watched the sunset slide into
The darkness, I felt as if I had been here before. And then
I thought of YOU

FOOLS HEART


The pain I have inside
It feels that it wont mend
I have to realise now that this really is the end.

My tears wont let me see
You surely cannot know
I want to be beside you but I have to let you go

The hurt that I feel
A poison sure but slow
I try to move my life on but the pain just seems to grow.

If only I knew
What wickedness Ive done
If only I could right the wrong and bring back all the fun.

But its breaking me down
To see you walk away
To know you love another man well what more can I say?

I gave you my life
Gave all I had to give
I gave to you so much of me I just dont want to live.

Yet I have to go on
With an emptiness inside
Where once there was a loving heart theres now an empty
void.

It really seems to me
Ill never fill that place
It just lies there and festers an empty barren space.

And what more can I do
It really hurts me so
To know my love for yous still strong but you just want to
go.

How I wish I could hate
And curse your very name
Would that bring satisfaction would it somehow ease the
pain?

You have taken out my heart
And played the cruellest game
You kicked it like a football and it tried to take the blame.

But its all over now
Ive laid my heart to rest
You cannot hurt what's dead Im told, perhaps its
for the best.

And your life it moves on
I wonder what youll be?
I wonder if sometimes youll stop and somehow think of me.

I know in time Ill meet
Someone to ease my pain
To replace for me the heart you killed and help me live again.

How I wish it wasnt so
That it didnt have to be
Id suffer all the pain again to have you here with me.

Goodbyes they seem so hard
I dont know what to say
Your happiness in future times for that I really pray.

As tears they fill my eyes
I just cant write The End
I thought somehow that writing this would help my heart
to mend.

But it just isnt so
I know it cannot be
Through all the times I thought of us I now must think of me.

A Final Goodbye

The times we shared were full of magic
Im so sad that you decided to turn it tragic

You made me fall in deep love for you
But for you, the whole time it wasnt so true

It makes me mad that you cant understand me
Now at this point it looks like you want to abandon me

The laughs we shared was always a lot of fun
But now they seem to be all gone and done

Our special corner it made me so glad
But now when I think of it I become so sad

Always trying to find each others weakness
Now it doesnt matter I have that sickening lackness

Just the sound of your voice on the phone
It made me want to be with you I felt so alone

I loved our long talks until two in the morning
It made me feel so good, our relationship was forming

Your singing was so perfect it made me weak in the knees
Now I cant listen anymore that hurts more than stinging
bees

You were the one I truly needed
Now I wish that I begged and pleaded

I want to make this special I want to make this true
All I need to say is that I really loved you
