Reflection

I stare deep into the mirror.

My eyes are locked on those of my reflection.
I have been trying to understand how you found out
How vulnerable I was.

I'm trying to see how you could look into my mind
And see that I would do anything for you.
My reflection's eyes begin to cry and tears fall into
The empty sink.

It wipes its face, blinks, and turns away.

Shattered Pieces

Inside my sleeve, I pull out my heart,
handing it to you, "careful it's fragile,
and easily falls apart."

Extending your arms, you take the heart in
your tender warm hands.
It falls into a million shattered pieces - on
the floor it lands.

You begin to bend down to pick it up, sorrow and
sadness in your eyes.

Apologies are not enough.

Looking at you with tears in my eyes,
I ask you not to pick up the pieces of a heart
that has fallen apart.

I am the one who needs to pick up the pieces of
my shattered heart - one by one, piece by piece.

I need to put it together again, some how. some way.

Each piece of my heart has a memory so true.
Each piece of my heart has part of you.

You are the one who is leaving to start a new lease on life.
I'll just be here on my knees picking up the pieces of a
heart that feels like it's being pierced with a knife.

All my tears won't keep you near
All my tears won't mend what's not here.

Again I look at you with a whisper in my voice,
The only way my heart will mend and finally be complete,
is if you and I can come together without being discreet.
You see, what we have here and today, helps me face the
world, with a love for you that gives a glow -
but now, my darling, you made a choice.

My heart is on this floor, shattered and broke.
With each piece I pick up -
I need to learn to let go.

Once...

(NOTE: this isn't a poem, it's an article/essay)

Once in my life I felt complete, no worries and no pain. Life was simple, life was so sweet. You brought in the sunshine and took away the rain. Once in my life I felt real joy, the joy and happiness each day which you brought to me. My world seemed so perfect. Once in my life I felt what it was to be in love and to be loved by one so gentle, tender, kind and sweet. Once in my life I felt so free, free as the cool wind that stirs the trees. Not one encumbrance upon my soul, nothing would ever keep me bound. Once in my life is not enough, for all I had treasured and tasted has now been taken, left only by this emptiness inside. Once in my life I wish that we will meet again and that you will bring me back all that I long for, your love like sweet nectar and wine. Just once more in my life before I die, please share again all the laughter as well as the tears. Come back to me, into my life.

I'm too big to cry

I never stopped to realize
How lonely I would be
I never thought the day would come
When you'd grow tired of me

Your voice was never sweeter

Than the day you said goodbye
You'll never know how much it hurt
Because I'm too big to cry

If I knew then what I know now
You'd still be kissing me
Instead there's someone else's lips
Where mine used to be

I say hello and wish you well
Each time I pass you by
But you'll never know how much it hurt
Because I'm too big to cry

You never looked so wonderful
As the day you walked away
I used to say, "I love you"
But that I could not say

I can't forget you darlin'

No matter how much I try
You'll never know how much it hurt
Because I'm too big to cry

Shattered Heart

I will never forget the days we once had
The days when you were everything to me
My mind used to tell me we'd be together forever
But now I realize that was all a big dream
The feelings I have for you will never go
I wish I could take back that one regretful day
The day when I willingly let you slide from my arms
Never did I think of the astonishing pain of regrets
That I would once have to live through
The sight of you in someone else's arms
Makes my heart shatter into a million pieces
I sometimes wonder if you still think of me
Or if to you, I'm just a face in the crowd
I wish so very much that one day we can have it all back
But for now, I'll sit here silently
Remembering all the memories we once shared
Everyday my love grows much stronger
Hoping that one day you will feel the same
And put back the pieces of my broken heart.

The Light and Dark Side

From a bright sunny morning to a dark shadowed night,

From a hot summer to a cold winter,
From the positive to the negative,
From black to white,
From harmony to war,
From light to night,

Everyone has their own Light and Dark sides,
Covered in darkness, they search for a flicker of light,
In brightened light, they search for a darkened corner,

For I here, entrapped in a world of darkness,
I search for some flickering light,
Waiting for my time to flare...

Forgiving...

The dreams you dream
are merely images
of a darkened soul
inflicting pain on me.
Drown your acceptance
and believe in me.
The power of love
is all I need.
The warmth of your touch
the motion, the feel
entirely of your heartbeat.
Do you love?
Are you free?
Can you let go of
all those secluded worries?
I love your compassion
I can hear your heart beat for another,
to love you like I do.
Why won't you realize
my love is for you
I understand you want to leave
and I will release you.
But let it be known
it was only Love for you
I have ever shown

Alone

A broken heart
Shattered dreams
How could someone do this to me
I didn't know where I was

Not knowing what to do
I thought I'd found my salvation in you
You were my way out
A place without pain
A place to hide, but what did I gain
Too much time between
And your change of heart
Pushed me away and ripped us apart

Now here I am
Tattered and torn
For myself and my life I now mourn

I know I was someone
I don't remember who
I seem to have lost myself in you
I no longer know what I am
I've disappeared without a trace
All I know now is my name and my face

A person in darkness
Someone all alone
I look back and wonder what happened to my home
I look back and wonder what happened to me

From that very moment...

From the moment I looked into your eyes, I knew you were the one,

The one I would spend the rest of my life with, until my time was done.

From the moment I looked into your eyes, I knew you were my soul mate,

The soul mate I waited forever for, that didn't believe in fate.

From the moment I looked into your eyes, I knew my life was about to change,

The change I knew I needed, but always felt my life was in a cage.

From the moment I looked into your eyes, I knew I would be happy forever,

The happiness I have waited so long to have, that didn’t believe in happily ever after.

You Are The One

As I look at the stars at night
And dream of what is to be...
My heart begins to smile
For it's you I see

You're the one who makes me laugh
When things are looking bad
You're the one who makes me smile
When I am feeling sad
You're the only one for me
you brighten up my day
You're the sunshine of my life
you chase dark clouds away.

I think of you each day
my mind is set on you
You bring the best in me
with the sweet things you do.

Sweetheart, this love for you is true
And know forever I will Love You

I’m all alone in my room,
Wondering what to do,
There are things I have to go through,
But I’m just too blue

My whole body sores,
Every second more and more,
I used to be yours,
But now, to you, I’m a bore
Tears fall from my red, swollen eyes,
As I begin to weep and cry,
Why did you lie,
Why did you say goodbye
