What is this world to me, even if I can have it

This world of palaces, thrones, and crowns
This world of societies that resent humanity
This world of those hungry for material wealth
What is this world to me, even if I can have it

Each body is afflicted, each soul thirsty
With confused eyes and hearts full of sorrow
Is this the world or the realm of the senseless
What is this world to me, even if I can have it?
In this world where a person’s being is only a toy
It is an establishment that worships death
Where it costs less to die than to breathe
What is this world to me, even if I can have it?

Here youth wanders in apathy
Young bodies are decorated and sold in the market
Where love is treated as a product to trade
What is this world to me, even if I can have it?

This world where human life is nothing
Where Loyalty is nothing, where friendship is nothing
Where love has no meaning at all
What is this world to me, even if I can have it?
Burn this world, set it on fire
Remove this world from my sight
This world is yours, you take care of it.
What  is this world to me, even if I can have it?

I am letting you go

The hurt the pain
The lies the deceit
I am letting it go

The negativeness
The ugly remarks
I am letting it go

I am letting go of the...
Jealousy
Foolishness
Attitude
Pride
I am letting it go

I am letting go of you
For you are no longer mine
You have gone so far away
Where I cannot follow
You have chosen another
And my heart breaks
You will always have a place in my heart
But...

I am letting you go

Let's become strangers once again...

Harsh words exchanged
Accusations made
Hearts broken
once again...

You say I hold bitterness
I say you don't care anymore
Both are miserable
once again...

We hardly ever talk
We rarely ever meet
Loneliness consumes us
once again...

Why not become strangers once again?
Yes...
Let's become strangers
once again...

My loneliness and I...

We talk often
My loneliness and I

It has become my companion

I used to feel safe only in your arms
When you held me
Closer than your own heartbeat
I felt as if nothing could ever hurt me

Now...I hold tight to my loneliness
And it holds me back

We talk often
My loneliness and I

Reminiscing about what used to be
Memories of a time long gone
Though it was just a few days ago
Or has it been weeks
Or perhaps months...
To me it seems as if it were yesterday

When you held me in your arms
When you told me you missed me
When you kissed my lips longingly
When you made love to me...

If I had known it was the last time
I wouldn't have let it end
I would have held on with my dear life

But now I hold on to my loneliness

Yes...  my loneliness and I
We talk often...
Of times passed
Of the love we shared

It is my loneliness that keeps me safe now
It is my friend
It is what I have now
So I hold it...
As if I were holding you

My loneliness and I
We talk often

You're with me

Though you are not here
You are with me

In the silence of the house
In the emptiness of your room
In the smell of the air
You are with me

Oh how I see you all over
On the couch watching sports
In the kitchen making coffee
In the bathroom trimming your beard
I surely see you all over

Though you are not here
I feel you all around me
Everywhere I look...
There is a memory of you

In the clothes I wear, or
The jewelry I put on
The way I do my hair, or
In the way I look some days

There is always a memory of you 

Why are you here with me...
Yet so far away
You belong with me
No matter how much you deny

Say you miss me as I miss you
So I can sleep at night
Knowing
Feeling
Accepting
That though you aren't here
You're always with me

All I have left...

Are pieces of a broken heart
Leftover from the love we once shared
How wonderful it was
How real
How powerful
It allowed me to let go of my family
Of my friends
Of everyone
And now...
I am left with nothing
But a broken heart
And memories
Of what we had
Powerful memories
Of you
Your smile
Your care
How things change
How love disappears
I will never understand
No matter whose fault
One of us tried
Both of us have differing opinions on whom
One thing is for certain
Only one of us still loves
One of us is holding on to the positive memories
The ones that took my breath away
The ones lives can be built on
Though this life was destroyed
I still hold on
To what I have left
Pieces of a broken heart
It's all I have left of you...

Never would have thought


That one day we couldn’t even talk
Wouldn’t see each other
Wouldn’t love each other…
Well…  I still love
But your love has ended
Not sure what I did
Or when I did it
But you stopped loving
Yes I said things.  Wicked horrible things
Were you innocent?
Are you still….
No relationship works with one person
Relationship = two people
One person can only do so much
You say the same though
Without conversation
Without understanding
Without compassion
There is nothing
You have none
I do… and will always
Always the victim you were
Still are
Wicked I am…horrid I am
Yeah, blah blah blah. 
That’s all you hear
When I plea
When I beg
When I try to explain
One sided
For a long time
So here we are
At the end
Of whatever we once were
Is it my fault?
Sure, I will accept the blame for this too.
Don’t worry
Just be happy that you no longer have me causing you pain

Good Bye from the one who loved, loves and will always love you…
