1. Title: “It Ceased to Hurt Me, Though So Slow”
It ceased to hurt me, though so slow
I could not feel the Anguish go
But only knew by looking back
That something had benumbed the TrackNor when it altered, I could say,
For I had worn it, every day,
As constant as the Childish frock
I hung upon the Peg, at night.But not the Grief that nestled close
As needles ladies softly press
To Cushions Cheeks
To keep their placeIt ceased to hurt me, though so slow,
I could not feel the Anguish go.
But only knew by looking back,
That something had benumbed the Track.
2. Title: “I Want To”
I want to express the way you make me feel,
Each time I see your face, i know you’re real.
The indescribable joy you bring to me,
A wash of happiness, a feeling so free.I want to share memories of that day,
Your laughter lingers air, in a special way.
The loving look in your eyes,
The mystery of why “Goodbye” denies.
I yearn to write, but can’t convey,
How our plans got disarrayed, led astray.
God took you away, a truth so hard to say,
Through death, I hide what I feel every day.I want to write, but words won’t land,
To describe the loss, cost, and silent scream.
Lovely dreams of just you and me,
Yet, I can’t capture what it all means.
3. Title: “They That Have Power To Hurt And Will Do None”
They that have power to hurt and will do none,
That do not do the thing they most do show,
Who, moving others, are themselves as stone,
Unmoved, cold, and to temptation slow:They rightly do inherit heaven’s graces
And husband nature’s riches from expense;
They are the lords and owners of their faces,
Others but stewards of their excellence.The summer’s flower is to the summer sweet
Though to itself it only live and die,
But if that flower with base infection meet,
The basest weed outbraves his dignity:The summer’s flower is to the summer sweet,
Though to itself it only live and die.
But if that flower with base infection meet,
The basest weed outbraves his dignity.
4. Title: “Autumn”
Autumn,
They tell me to be grateful for what is given
And nothing else
But what about the lost autumnYour leaves
You must hate losing your leaves
They fall off every year without a doubt
Well your leaves are all the things i’ve lostI didn’t get to choose
They just left
Would you go for hopes and dreams
Or stand in silenceI choose silence autumn
But its dark and lonely here
I’ve lost everything
And autumn you are to.
5. Title: “Pain, Pain Go Away“
Pain, pain go away!
Please do not come back another day.
Tears falling down my face.
Oh, how I wish for his warm embrace.Wonder if he cares about me.
Wonder if this is supposed to be.
How can he stand there and break my heart?
How did we allow us to grow so far apart?where he loved me and
we thought we were meant to be.
I will not stop loving you; that much is true,
but I will be stronger in timeOne day I will have that warm embrace,
and tears will stop flowing down my face.
Pain, pain go away.
Leave me alone and do not stay.
6. Title: “When You Wake”
When you wake
There is this moment
A moment of peace
You don’t think of anythingYou wake up
Like a new person
As a new life
A new dayYou are at peace
Your mind
Your soul
Your bodyThere is no hate for that spit second
But soon your life comes back
You remember what needs to be done
And everything becomes the way it was.
7. Title: “Hurting”
Lying in bed, my eyes resisting to close.
Thoughts and anger I try to dispose.
Thoughts of you stain my mind.
So many questions with answers I cannot find.You ripped and shattered my soul.
Now all that’s left of my heart is one hole.
Nothing but emptiness and darkness.
My heart vanished without a trace.I don’t know what it is that you gain
When you push me around and see me in pain.
Do you feel empowered? Do you feel strong?
What did I do to you that was so wrong?You ripped and shattered my soul.
Now all that’s left of my heart is one giant hole.
Nothing but emptiness and darkness take its place.
My heart vanished without a trace.
8. Title: “Lies”
You told her
You loved her today
I bet she looked at him
The same way last nightThose 3 words hurt
I could tell you
But i can’t
I can’t break youI love you to much
This is hell
The world is hell
And youYou are who i hate
I feel as if i love you more every time
And i know loving you this much
Will hurt me but i can’t stop
9. Title: “Dear Spring”
Dear spring
I never wrote your sister winter this year
I guess years go by
And you just stop writingBut i never stopped loving
My friends told me that its time
But how spring
How do i let this goIt is like asking you
To set fire to all you flowers and trees
That’s who you are
Now he wasn’t meThat even in the darkest times
I can do this
And why can’t they see
Thats what i need.
10. Title: “The Worst Pain Known to Me”
The worst pain known to me
Is to be stuck on a love that never could be,
To love someone who’ll never be free.
The worst pain known to me.My heart aches unfathomably
Knowing he too wishes it could be
Him and me forever with glee.
The worst pain known to me.He has each and every quality
That I desire continuously.
I try to forget him persistently.
The worst pain known to me.Living each day with monotony.
Smiling with false positivity,
Hoping that soon it’ll be history.
The worst pain known to me.
