This heart of mine, once it fell, fell in love.
And now, it’s falling, falling out of love.
And it hurts how it hurts and the pain, the pain doesn’t end.
These tears, oh the tears, I can’t quench flow.
This little heart fell in,
And now it’s falling’ out of the curse of love but it hurts.
Oh how it hurts!

I never really figured in your equation
I was just somebody helping you pass the time
I started catching feeling for you all so major
I was falling deeper and deeper in love with you
But you, did not want my love…you did not need my love
Knocked me to the ground…with that your velvet glove…
the curse of love…oh how it hurts

This pain, these tears that rain
This rock bottom as I miss my cocaine…
This love that seemed to be sent from above,
This love now an emotional push and shove…
This life, this strife,
The one I should have called my wife now an emotional knife to my life…

An emotional knife to my life,
The incision stings but I smile at the pain,
I’ve grown to love, Love,
And all that it brings,
So I sing,
Under the stare of the moon,
Join me and let’s laugh at my gloom..
For I see a new dawn,
After the darkest of nights,
So good morning to you,
Let’s bask in the glow…

Let’s bask in the glow
at least for now
bask in the joys and beauties
For the moments that flow
for tomorrow is at the horizon
And what awaits us at that row
good or bad it will make us grow

Make us grow, sing on,
Our death is slow
but then i see the light,
In lights of angles fade,
in fate we whisper we’ll be saved,
In suicides embrace..
Place the roses in my grave
For when i once was placed,
for now my soul roams in fences dark,
For when my love disgraced..

And yet I’m still amazed
At how what we called L.O.V.E
Could rip apart so easy,
Now my heart’s locked up like Wheezy..
It’s spooky how I’m dead inside,
Just call me Jane D.O. Eerie

And I admit as bad for me as she may be
Indeed, I want her to be with me
and for or from her no matter-
she is the cause that I bleed

    Gone are the smiles
    Hugs
    Chides
    Chatter
    And banter
    What we became was a disaster
    Gone are the calls
    Walks
    Strolls
    Talks
    And wall posts
    Nobody to laugh at my stale jokes
    Gone you are, and I with you

    I bleed my pain and tears
    I bleed the long nights of fear
    I bleed your neglect and indifference
    I bleed to cleanse my soul
    I bleed, and now I am free of you

    this is nice…but i believe stories should have a sad ending sometimes especially in October… it being horror month.. so i submit my ending..

    Sad tales I told her
    During beautiful embraces in random places
    That foretold of this dying disaster
    Love is not for one such as I
    I breathe death into all I feel
    I manipulate adversity into our bond
    And sit back to enjoy her pain
    She screams “te amo”
    And I reply with a grunt as I push her away

    Great pieces!!!

    Every Now and Then
    .

    The moon parades timeless, across
    the ebon midnight vastness
    evoking nostalgia, of the one
    that witnessed our moment
    when we met beneath a
    tall, majestic mango tree
    in a quiet field…it was a Sunday

    Her hair was glowing softly and
    shimmered in the pale, ethereal glow
    on that golden, August night
    The soft breeze touched her
    bare arms and goose pimples rose
    as she slightly shivered beneath
    that lovely old tree, where
    we shared our first of many blisses,

    We walked beyond the binds of time
    learning of each others hearts
    sharing dreams, ambitions and secrets
    Her smile made me forget the world
    her eyes mad me remember heaven and selfish moments of wishful thinking,

    The moon now descends as, golden
    mystical rays of crowning sunrise
    caress our faces…then
    the surreal moment ends
    she’s not standing next to me
    These past five years I’m
    not surprised; I still mourn*

    [My ending]And here is a letter to Her,she who made my heart bleed. . . . . I hope this finds you well,you’ve been the love of my life ever since first grade,i never thought my love you would trade,your betrayal,stabs my heart deeper than this blade,not once did i imagine that the greatest source of my joy,would turn out to be the greatest source of my pain,i remember when we met,your first day at school,games we played,teens we became puppy love it was,years passed head over hills in love we fell,spending life together was our mission,everything to you i gave,now…my love you betrayed,a side plate you had,loving me in pretence,a drunkard i became,bitter alcohol my new companion,sweet it was,YOKOZUNA i took to save my heart from unwanted suffering…
