Better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all
Or so the saying goes...
But love that's true is not so easily gone
It endures and survives deep in the heart
It spreads through everything in your life
Growing deeper and stronger every moment
And when that love is broken it is far from dead
Like a plant cut at the stalk with it's roots intact
True love will bury itself deeper to survive
While never dying and never disappearing
Everyday bringing reminders of the love still there
Always burrowing and growing but never forgotten
The pain of loss growing from the tendrils of memory
Infecting every moment with heartache
Will I ever move on
Will I ever find another
Why is the pain still not gone
Why should I even bother
When I close my eyes I still see your face
Every night I think of what we had
Memories of us still make my heart race
I wish I knew why I made it all go bad
You were the only one I ever wanted
You were everything I had ever dreamed
Now without you my heart is haunted
But everything was not as it seemed
I shattered the love you had for me
But the shards fell deep into my soul
Now I fear my heart will never be free
And my soul will never again be whole
Not a single day has gone by
That I haven't thought of you
And everything I
Why does it still hurt so much
When I've already lost your touch
You've been lost for a long time
And I know you're not mine
But my heart still fails me
You're the only one I can see
With others I talk about it, I admit it
But nonetheless I can't move past it
You'll always be my only one
And without you I just feel numb
And I know you don't like it
There's nothing I can do about it
At one time we had it all
But I fell and lost it all
You went on and found another
But I can't move unless we're together
I miss having you at my side
And with you I lost my pride
I feel worthless and alone
Even scared to call you on the phone
I
I've seen you from afar
I've talked to you up close
It still hurts that we're apart
But that's life I suppose
I watched you cry
I felt your tears
It hurt so much inside
As we realized our fears
I broke it all
I took the fall
Too late I knew
I tried to save you
I helped you pick up, move on
By throwing myself back down
I watched you walk away
With nothing I could say
I love you now, I loved you then
What did I do, what happened to me
I don't know where to begin
I was blinded and couldn't see
I ruined everything we had
I couldn't be what you deserved
I know I made you mad
But you, I never deserved
I tried to find another
A flower in eternal bloom
With beauty surpassing all
One to place beside your heart
To look upon with daily joy
A flower of eternal doom
has me in an endless fall
Grown into an inseparable part
Never be removed from this boy
I'm no longer able to see
the beauty for the thorns
All that's left is memory
And pain that's ever reborn
To dull a thorn
Is to only find more
Having grown from the panic
Of an erring hopeless romantic
They grow at a rampant pace
As the flower turns away its face
They burrow deep in my heart
Ever becoming a greater part
All the more inseparable
The damage now irreparable
But the flower's always there
I'm falling...falling, unable to stop
Where is my heart, I can't find it
Stumbling through the darkness
I try to find escape but none exists
My heart is gone, shattered and lost
And it's taking the rest of me along
My soul is cracking, my self is fading
I took a false step...and now I'm gone
Always, all ways...I've lost my hope
Eternity was shorter than I thought
The strength waned, the bond cracked
The strength failed, the bond snapped
My lifeline is gone...my salvation gone
Doomed to stumble and fall forever...
I tried to climb back to where I used to be
But the darkness overwhelms, holds me back
I need my heart...but it's g
My world has been crumbling
And it feels like I'm tumbling
Falling down into the deep
But my eyes just will not weep
I've lost the shining light of grace
If I can never see your face
Your voice seems lost so far away
Left in a place a cannot stay
The healing you caused within my heart
Feels like it's being ripped apart
I tell myself you're all okay
Safe and sound all tucked away
I try to let my mind let go
And tell myself it isn't so
That you're still standing here with me
It's just so hard when I can't see
You're lost to me in sound and sight
And my heart has left and taken flight
Searching for the love it holds so dear
At
As I go walking, mingling and meandering
I can't help but notice, the eyes around me
Watching, staring, scowling, hatred and confusion
The eyes of those whom I don't consort with
The eyes of those who see me as different...as wrong
To those my views are alien, and frightening
My views are so strange they can't comprehend them
So I am shunned and ignored, insulted and laughed at
They make jokes and laugh, to make themselves feel bigger
So to those eyes I laugh back, and I show no fear
They are frightened of my differences, so they look down
I do not shy from those eyes, glaring down into mine
I stare right back at them, not up nor
I sit here staring into nothingness
Feeling empty and utterly hopeless
I let the darkness surround me
Making my eyes unable to see
I can feel everyone has left
Leaving my broken heart bereft
Left behind without a home
Left so cold and all alone
I feel the knife in my hands
And soon I will depart these lands
As I raise the blade below my chin
Across my face appears a grin
They did what they thought they could
But their prayers have done no good
I slide the blade and feel the blood
Pouring down my chest like a flood
As my clothes all turn to red
I can forget all they've said
This life was never meant to stay
And now it's time
My world has been crumbling
And it feels like I'm tumbling
Falling down into the deep
But my eyes just will not weep
I've lost the shining light of grace
If I can never see your face
Your voice seems lost so far away
Left in a place a cannot stay
The healing you caused within my heart
Feels like it's being ripped apart
I tell myself you're all okay
Safe and sound all tucked away
I try to let my mind let go
And tell myself it isn't so
That you're still standing here with me

Tonight as I lay my head,
that last second,
the last thought,
it will be yours
of your beauty
it'll be yours,
and maybe if I prayed,
if I got down onto my knees and begged
then maybe,
just maybe you could join me,
and I could wrap my arms around you,
watching as you breathed in and out,
as your chest rises and falls,
maybe, just maybe
if I prayed real hard,
the gods would pity me,
and I could sleep by you,
your beauty,
your warmth,
I could hold you close,
and not let go,
maybe,
hopefully.

One Question, Unanswered
I still love you,
yet do you love me?
We chose different people,
we both went our own separate ways.
I guess I regret it.
I guess I didn't mean it,
but my question to you, is do you truly mean it?
To leave me for another.
I can't tell you the answer myself.
My hearts beating to fast to tell,
but what I'm trying to say.
I guess, is that I love you too.
I know now that the truth,
but do you feel the same way,
is my question unanswered.

Well, it's time for a change I suppose. One should always look to the future and not let the past drag them down. Advice I should have followed a lot sooner. Now I've got a car again I'm going to travel a little more (work and school allowing) and spend my time rather than waste it. I'm going to start taking stock photography of nature so if anyone has any requests or suggestions I'd be glad to try and accommodate you.
I think I'm finally going to start posting bits of a story I'm writing up here. This is only the firstish draft so I know it still needs a lot of work...that means I encourage criticism, both positive and negative because I need feedback from someone with no previous knowledge about the story. The first post should be up sometime this week, not sure how long I should make each section so any thoughts are welcome.
And just in case anyone cares the "Memories" playlist is something I started in April this year and I occasionally add more songs when I run across one that seems fitting.
Currently the playlist is as such:
(In order of addition
Send Her My Love - Journey
It's been so long
Since I've seen her face
You say she's doin' fine
I still recall a sad cafe
How it hurt so bad to see her cry
I didn't want to say goodbye
Send her my love
Memories remain
Send her my love
Roses never fade
Send her my love
The same hotel
The same old room
I'm on the road again
She needed so much more
Than I could give
We knew our love could not pretend
Broken hearts can always mend
Send her my love
Memories remain
Send her my love
Roses never fade
Send her my love
Callin' out her name I'm dreamin'
Reflections of a face I'm seein'
It's her voice
That keeps on haunting me
