Smalls' Corner: Untitled Poem #1

Here in this dream
I have willingly surrendered my heart to you
Let your spirit infuse with mine till
We are one

Even in slumber your name escapes my lips

Careless thoughts wander around you

Ever enchanting is your presence

Your light brightening my world

But that plague of darkness will always find me

Reminding me that we could never be

Entwined, we are thrust apart

I watch you falling away

Out of reach, out of sight

Never out of mind

You are imprisoned in my heart

Countless hours we spent together seem so far

This longing drives me mad

I cannot fathom the thought of never seeing you smile again

Never holding your hand again

Never hearing your engaging voice again

These dreams are

A harsh reminder of what never was

The only place where I could find you

Still full of laughter and love for me

I would lie sleeping forever, sacrifice anything

If it meant I could always see you

But I feel so weak and weary

This pain is surreal

My tears won’t drown you

My mind won’t let me forget you

My heart won’t relinquish you

Tell me, how do I live like this?

Confessions of a broken heart

It may have been wrong

and they say it'll make me strong

they also say time heals all

And that I've fallen as low as one can fall.

But do you care?

Do you bother how I feel?

Was it worth it? Was it good?

Did I satisfy your need?

You wooed, you smiled

you brightened my light.

I rose jubilant

I was content, no idea of my plight.

And then came the fall

so hard, so fast

no net, no you

to catch me at all

I know it won't be easy

I know I won't forget

But I'd rather have a life filled with mistakes

than one filled with regret.

The memories, the feelings,

the time that was spent

for you, true or not?

well...my heart had full intent.

Small's Corner: Untitled Poem #2

Wanted to give you all of me

completely, every part

succumbed to your kind words that broke through my wall

I thought you would look after my heart 

I thought you'd be the one to break my fall.

You broke me down

And you watch me drown

In my own bruised emotions

You made promises you couldn't keep

left a cut so deep

You said I was all you need

now watch me bleed

watch me fall to pieces

as you break me apart

does it hurt you to hurt me?

No, I'm the one left hopeless with pain and confusion

and you're free.

Confessions of a broken heart: Moving on 

Remember the past

re-live the hurt

Licking the wound

dust away the dirt.

The memory, it fades

Yet fails to erase

The heart, still beats

it struggles,

It bleeds.

Taken

You picked me up

Then let me down

You watch me fall

In tears I drown

I gave you me

In every form

You took and took

And now I'm torn.

The bit that's left

The spirit's gone

The broken heart

A mind forlorn.

Chirping Heart

Don't  cry my little dove

one day you will find true love,

maybe in a tall oak tree

or in some old flower field.

You just chirp and spread those wings,

don't you worry about a thing,

Your time will come

you'll sing your song

and charm the feathers off someone.

 Untitled

Someone who loves you,
to cry with,
to love.
Someone to hold you
when you've had enough.

No words need be spoken,
no stories be told,
the silence is comforting
your feelings are heard.

Someone to listen
to smile when you're done,
crying or shouting or just being torn.
They tell you, "It's okay"
you're brave and you're strong,
this error has taught you

and shown you the wrong.

They help when you need it,
they help when you don't,
That someone will be there
for better or worse.
