I long for you deep in my heart
Feeling as I did from the very start
So many memories of our past
I always thought that we would last
You were my best friend and my lover
And never did I want any other
So many years we were together
It seems you were in my life forever
There are so many things that I miss
Like the warmth of your touch or a simple kiss
I close my eyes and I can see your face
It's a memory that time cannot erase
So much to say, not knowing where to begin
It's hard knowing that I'll never see you again
I sometime think of how I wish things could be
And I wonder if you spend time thinking of me
I hope you look bac
My sense are in an uproar,
My mind is fully ablaze,
I can\'t take this mental assualt anymore.
Constant through all my days,
Images flashing before me unbidden.
Sights I can\'t bear to view,
Ghosts returning from my past,
Horrible, but all true.
How long can this torture last?
Why can\'t these memories stay hidden?
It\'s part guilt, part insanity,
Acid dissolving my soul,
Everyday losing more humanity,
Having to accept that I\'m less than whole,
Less of myself good enough to share.
How can I survive the present,
When I\'m stalked by long ago?
Will the future be more pleasant,
Or will my decay continue so slow,
With this men
I know that you\'re haunted by your past,
And it\'s hard to trust that anything will last,
But I truly love you with all of my heart.
And if you can believe that, then it\'s a start.
I know things have been rocky, quite a mess,
I promised you the stars, but have delivered far less.
I\'d give you the world if I could,
But I haven\'t done as well as I should.
You\'re a special person, more than you know,
My greatest fear is that you will go.
I want you around for the rest of my life,
Though it\'s not official, you\'re like my wife.
Things will work out, we can find a way,
We just need to hold on until that day.
I just pray you don
On my hands and knees,
A black orchid by my side,
I tend to my garden memorial.
A celebration of life
and a mourning of loss,
I plant the orchid with care.
Friends, relatives that have passed
And loves that have been lost,
There is a flower here for each one.
I tend to my garden dutifully,
Lest any of the memories fade,
Each blossom special in it\'s own way.
While some don\'t understand
And think my garden a burden,
My pains are eased by it\'s beauty.
1) Shedding my old skin
Reborn into a new life
But it\'s no better
2) Ignoring the world
I watch television
Becoming mindless
3) The death of a pet
Years of companionship gone
I miss my ferret
4) Wrestling with demons
My brain boils over with pain
Please give me my drugs
5) Broken mirrors fall
Reflected back in the shards
My true self appears
6) Using your mind\'s eye
Can you see inside of me?
Do I have a soul?
7) I pray to no God
Religion is a false hope
The world is the proof

Faith - Tortured Mind
Life is a journey, sometimes it is tough
It gets to the point you\'ve just had enough
So full of anger and pain you just want to yell
I don\'t want this life anymore - It\'s gone to hell
But you\'ve gotta have faith
It\'s so hard to contain the hatred and rage
Midnight black demons rattling their cage
The bars may bend, but your will is strong
You\'ve held them back for ooh so long
But it\'s hard to have faith
Your worst enemies are the demons you contain
Growing more powerful, feeding on your pain
You worst fear is someday no matter what you do
They\'ll break free and devour the real you
But I can\'t find my faith
You look dee

Bullet in the Chamber
The bullets in the chamber - the guns to my head
The question is am I already dead
My life\'s already over , so I say
I can\'t bear the thought of another day
The demons inside, they eat at my core
I don\'t know if I can take this any more
I try not to think of others, the grief they\'ll feel
I\'m just not thinking right, it doesn\'t seem real
My brain tells me to end it, it\'s time to go
But my heart and soul cry out a thunderous \"NO\"
I put my finger on the trigger strengthen my resolve
But my heart asks \"What will this solve?\"
Conflicting emotions within my head
What\'s to be accomplished by me being dead
The thing about h
Hurt by the world and my own self-hate
IScrambled to build an impregnable emotional gate
I took my anger made it viscous and thick
And then fired it into a jet-black brick
I laid a foundation of steely resolve
To be an enigma no one would want to solve
I began to to lay the bricks using sorrow as mortar
Trying desperately to bring my chaos to order
I worked on the wall as fast as I could
Rationalizing it was being built for my own good
The pain never stopped, raw material overflowing
Firing more bricks, the process ongoing
There were warnings and signs to keep others away
Desperately trying to keep the world at bay
Now it\'s com

Black Tears
Black tears fall
Like mascara stains
Dark as ebony
Her face rains
All too real
Too frail to touch
Her face in ruins
What remains, isn\'t much
Billions of scars
Engraved deep in her skin
Imperfect stitches
Signs of sin
Her desires ignored
Confidence stolen
Emptiness plagues her
Left again, broken
Those black tears
Leaving their mark
The hurt never ends
Hanging in the dark
I know her well
Looking her in the eye
The mirror speaks
For it is I
War
A bomb dropped
A beginning of the end
Grab your loved ones
Find a friend
Fight for the right
Or hide from the truth
Bring out the man
And lose the youth
Uncover the bravery
Buried deep inside
Find your strength
From ones left behind
Beautiful worlds
Showered with blood
No motive for this
How absurd!
Cries of war
Filled with terror
A call for peace
Remains forever
Paradise
Far from reach
Importance of peace
Hard to preach
Broken truths
Fed to troops
As worlds are divided
In tiny groups
More rivers
Flowing with blood
Mixed with tears
And bodies in doubt
As lives are wasted
Hearts erupt in flames
War goe

Sorry if this rambles, I've taken 3 Klonopin and 2 muscle relaxants. And please, don't be offended if I say something stupid, this is just a rant for myself.
I'm just so god damn depressed lately it ain't funny. I'm just tired of everything, nothing makes me feel good, I can't remember the last time I really felt happy. And it's just getting hard to fake it. I feel like crying almost all the time.
I spend time here on DA trying to get through the day, but even that's getting to me. My poetry is not going well, and the more I read of others stuff, the more I realize I'm not that good. Even the stuff I think is good, I can't get it view
My older ferret Buddha died of cancer Monday. I'm still in shock it happened so quick. He was only sick for 4 days. Plus I found him dead 30 minutes before he had a vet appt. This just sucks so much. He was the best pet I've ever had.
We're taking the other 2 ferrets back to the people we got them from, it just didn't work out. The little shits were MEAN. They'd attack you ankles every chance they got, and they bit the hell out of my mother's kitten 3 times.
I'm just too hurt about losing two ferrets in less than a month, both to cancer, so I'm going to be ferret-free for a while.
They were Donatello Davids, skinny and beautiful, not heavyset like Michelangelo's. Androgynous striplings who outlined each other's bones in lipstick. And they were allowed every art and luxury and perversion the city held because of their overrouged lips and their sluts' eyes and the poetry of their hands.
