All gone

Nothing matters
It’s all gone
I’m empty and she doesn’t care
It doesn’t matter
How I feel or what I say
She’s far away
And wouldn’t stay
No matter what I say
It wouldn’t matter anyway
I used to wait for the day
Just to hear her say
I miss you
Guess I was the biggest fool
Didn’t want to think you were cruel
I’m lonely now and broken
Left without even one token
Of love or caring
It all died on my birthday
How could I be so daring?
Thought you would understand
Why I was so upset
Instead you got mad at me
And hung up on me
It’s been a week
You wouldn’t even talk to me
How could you do that to me?
Nothing matters at all
I used to stand so tall
Now I wish for the stars
To cover up all these scars
Far away and small
Wonder if your thinking about me at all
Again I’m a fool for thinking
Guess I should be drinking
If only that were the way to get rid of my sadness
And bring me some gladness
Like I used to have
When I was with you
It was long ago
Why can’t I just let it go?
Like you have
You don’t feel me anymore
You’ve stopped keeping score
It’s all gone, as are you
Now I’m left with nothing to do
But brew
Over what once was
Just because
I’m an idiot and cared
And that is why I dared
To say what I said on my birthday
But I shouldn’t have shared
Because now I feel scared
And lost
And lonely
And hurt
And angry
And stupid
To think there ever was a cupid
For the two of us
Why did I make such a fuss?
It’s all over
I should just roll over
Because nothing matters anymore
You think I’m a bore
You think I’m a chore
And probably a whore
I can’t erase my mistakes
I believed you had forgiven me
I believed you loved me
And even when that part of it ended
I believed that at least there was something that mended
And that we had a friendship
You said you still adored me
You said that your heart still tightened
And that you would become frightened
When I was in trouble
And caught in some bubble
I believed you would help me
Get out of the rubble
Of this life that I live
In Binghamton while you are in Texas
Instead of staying close to me
You chose to make distance
I felt it but ignored it
I thought it was what you needed
I thought I would give it to you
Because you were my friend
And I loved you
I didn’t mind letting you go
I just didn’t want to lose you for good
Yet I did.
How could I know that you would
Let me go?
You let go fast
You forgot our past
Yes we had a past
A good past, a bad past
A past nonetheless
I understand you though
You don’t want to remember it
You’d rather forget what we had
It is easier that way
I understand that
Who would want to remember the hurt?
So you let me go fast and furious
Anytime I tried to talk about our past
You ran away fast
And I was left last
And I acted rash
It made me so sad though
That I was so slow
To recognize what you did
Long ago
And what others could see
But I never wanted it to be like that
And so I sat, and got fat
Denying what you could see
Which was what could again never be.
You saw the truth in front of us
Coming at us like a bus
About to hit
Difference between you and me was,
You got out of the way
And I chose to stay
In the way
Of a tragedy
Which was my soul shattered
You had sense enough to scatter
While I was like, “what’s the matter”?
What a fool I was
Thinking that you still loved me like you once did
When instead you saw me as a kid
A fool and youngster
Naïve to the core
I have always been so unsure
This is not your problem though
And you made that clear
When you forgot all that I held dear

Forever and Always

Just when I thought it was bad
It got worse
You made me believe again

I hurt you in a way unforgivable
But somehow you made me pay for it
With hurt
With misery
So much that when food touches my lips
It sends message to my mind to refuse it

I pushed you away
It was all my fault
But to give me hope again
Its unfair

You gave me hope
When I needed to be mad
And now I’ve made a decision
That I was supposed to make
But now I don’t want to
Because it means you out of my life
Which I never wanted you to be
But it hurts so much
I can’t look into your eyes
Without seeing her

This is wrong

I wish I was mad
Cause when I was
It made it easy
Easy To forget
Easy To move on
Easy To realise I have other things to look forward to
But now I can’t turn away
Because I want to see your eyes again
I want to wake up next to you
I want your stupid jokes and laughs in my life
I can’t turn back and regret

Everyone says I can do better
But they have no idea how madly in love I am
You have so many faults
And were so opposite
And I can’t believe that I feel this way about you
I never saw this coming

But now I had you in my life
Your everything
Everything I could ever dream of
Everything I could ever hoped for
I need you again
Forever and always.

Beautiful Wife

For my beautiful wife

You come to me like a shining star from the starry sky
Giving me guiding light and inspiration is my darkest night
Making me sing a new melody at lonesome days as it passes by
Taking away weariness, with your beautiful smiles

You’re the sunshine that sprouts seeds at twilight of my life
That brings new vision, new challenges to live without strife
As your nocturnal cries awaken the birds to fly high and be free
Unafraid of whatever strong winds that may come their way

You’re the rain that washes away the pain of my haunting past
Keeping me dry with your warm thoughts and lively eyes
Where colorful butterflies give beautiful thoughts for tomorrow
That paints enchanting, magnificent rainbow in my new heaven

Thy laughter and mimicry is a cool breeze that fans streams
To perk up waterfalls around me to strum sonorous rhythm
Sharing sonata to the valleys and hills that are dry and lifeless
Liken to my heart that needs love, sympathy, care and praises

Oh! How blessed am I to have you my beautiful wife
Abundant oasis of hope that waters henceforth life’s emptiness
Ushering in more blessings of love, peace and success in me
Had been elusive in years I lived in lifelessness and shame!

Long For

Sittin alone,
In artificial light,
Tryin to make it,
Through one last night.

A mix of emotions,
A heart full of woe,
Wondering where,
All this will go.

I felt it was right,
From the very first day,
But in just one second,
That was taken away.

I’m left here alone,
In fear and in pain,
Hoping the chance,
Will come back again.

I feel as though,
I’ve been taken apart,
Pieced back in the wrong sequence,
Missing half of my heart.

Sitting here blindly,
In search of my mind,
But the harder I look,
The less I can find.

What once came naturally,
Was cruelly taken away,
I’ve lost all trace of colour,
The world is now grey.

In seconds I fell,
From positive thoughts,
The creative talent,
That this one being brought.

But being out of my life,
Has left me so bare,
I have lost inspiration,
I’m left in confused despair.

I’m in my bed,
I toss and turn,
My eyes are red,
They’re sore, they burn.

The same thoughts,
Run through my mind,
Of someone who,
Is warm and kind.

I feel him slide,
His hand in mine,
And remember when,
We met first time.

Now that’s over,
I’m here alone,
Paranoia,
What have I done?

I’m all alone, I’ve lost my smile,
Wishing you had stayed a while,
Instead you ignore me when you like,
And fill my head with all your shit.

I’m over you, I’m out of love,
I’m lying here, I’ve had enough,
It’s been a while, but I’m okay,
I take life as it comes each day.

But when I feel I’ve let you go,
You tell me that you’ve missed me so,
And once again I’m in your trap,
Even though you don’t want me back.

So now I’m hooked just as before,
I lie here alone upon my floor,
Thinking of nothing else but you,
Adoration that’s so confused.

I think I’m okay, and that life will go on,
But each night it’s the same when I’m alone,
You say you care, and I believe each word,
But now I’m telling myself I’ve had enough.

I’m living in the past, life was better then,
I need you, we’re supposed to be friends,
But each day you say you don’t have the time,
Is when I realize that I have been blind.

You think you care about me, but this is a lie,
You try to be nice, and I always ask why,
This is not what you want, deep down inside,
And it’s me that gets hurt every single time.

So leave me alone, I need time to myself,
In times of need, it was you that helped,
But you’ve hurt me now, and things will change,
Right now, I don’t want to hear your name.

Everything you say, seems genuine to me,
But I’m hooked on you, it’s easy to see.
I wish things were simple like the start,
but you messed me about, And broke my heart.

I know I will forgive you, and be okay in time,
I never fully believed you’d ever be mine,
But I’m still feeling this everyday,
Wishing things hadn’t gone this way.

I need time alone, so I can move on,
And accept the fact, that I’m not the one,
So leave me to grieve at my own accord,
I don’t want to hear from you. Not one word.

As tiredness dries up these heavy eyes,
I sit alone but I can’t cry
The night is still and house is quiet,
I feel aggressive, my head’s a riot.

My music plays too soft to hear,
MY happy thoughts just disappear,
I sit alone, I feel the cold,
I long for the past, I’m getting old.

I tap the keys, they echo loud,
I’m tryin so hard to make no sound,
But everyone’s asleep, they cannot hear.
They do not know that I’m here.

The silence carries through the night,
The darkness blinds my only sight,
I sitting here wishing for the day,
To take the pain and suffering away.

I’m moving on, I’m starting again,
I’m not sure, if we should be friends.

I look at him, and see the past,
Wishing time would move on fast.

But blocking him out seems extreme,
And I’m not convinced it would help me.

I need to think this over, but it’s a mess,
I’m still being in love. I confess.

Lies, deception, and more and more lies,
Or was it all just a painful disguise?
He loves me, but can’t seem to work it out.
I question him to relieve my doubt.

But every single comment fogs my mind,
I remember him being warm and kind,
His answers are as confused as me,
The truth is something I will never see.

Wishing for clarity, and a little light,
To help me through each sleepless night,
I always believed he was the one for me,
But obviously that’s not how it’ll be.

Before Old

Tryna Fake it
till I make it
standin here to make a show
to define you
and to study
just as far as you can go

do you seize me
how I like it
I’m so difficult
to read
like some paper
or a booklet
or a napkin
with a theme

here I’m standin
starin at you
lookin at you crossed the room
moppin floors
and changin pictures
if i kiss you
I will be doomed
won’t this happen
or i show it
i regret
all my mistakes
wanna study
wanna get it
just before
its just too late

now you’re leaving
I’m not leaving
starin at you as
you leave
one more shot
i don’t have shots
so now I stand here
watch me bleed
cause i need you
wanna meet you
wanna know you
wanna hold
wanna stock you
wanna mock you
just before i get too old

now I’m washing all the
dishes
cleaning houses
cookin stoves
wish i moved
in your direction
now I got another load
much too laundry
much too cleaning
much too late to try again
when I see you
you’ll be taken
so i guess
me
you
just friends

I will harass you
and embrace
you still
I’m slick I will get away
what I do
it might just harm you
i am
sure I will get away

I am charming
I am evil
you know me
i don’t make sense
watch me
dancing
beneath roses
when I walk
behind your fence

yeah you see me
all around you
like a mellow
to a stove
why i tease you
with my clarence
now its me
and you alone

Am i crazy
you don’t get it
what my poets
don’t make sense
my names
ebony
mcmillan
I’m Highmaintenance
and intense

so define me
and come seize me
study lift
and over all
watch my safety tips
and safety net
cause one day I will fall

Today

Finally, today was the day…
Just listen to every word I have to say…
You are the reason why I’m smiling at the start of the day…
Just seeing you read this poem takes my breath away…
Every time you are in pain, I wanna be there for you…
I wanna fight away all your tears…
and replace them with happiness
and take away all your fears…
Your heart beat is racing and you don’t know why…
but all I have to tell you is that
I will love you till I die…
Just follow me and my lead…
I wouldn’t trade you for the world,
you are all that I need…
The day we met, I can’t explain the way I felt….
Feeling all these emotions that I can’t even help…
Every little thing we do is so special to me….
We are meant to be and thats what I want you to see…
Look into your future and don’t think of your past…
Just stick with me and know that we will last…
I wanna give you all my love and heart…
Would you give me chance and a brand new start???
and I promise to treat you exactly like the first day…
and I promise that I will never go away….
Elizabeth I really do love you….
if I didn’t I would have never cried for you….

How

What to say to the person that loved you once??
How do you explain to yourself
that it’s not how it used to be???
How do you not get nervous when you see him?
How do you walk away and try not to cry??
How can you look at him
and not remember what it was like??
How can you not think of him
for the rest of the day??
How do you pretend you don’t care
when you hear from him??
How do you go to bed
and not think of all those good times you spent with him??
How can you not smile when you remember
how he used to make you laugh??
How are you going to spend the cold winter without him??
It’s just not the same…
how do you believe all the shit he did to you??
Why are you still nice to him??
After all you cried…
Why do you still smile at him?
How do you not think of him
when you listen to that “stupid song”??
How do you make yourself understand
that the love is gone??
How do you make the pain go away??
How do you explain to yourself
that you are not the girl he has been waiting for??
How do you forget all those promises
and pretend like he never said them??
How can you erase all the memories??
How can you pretend like nothing ever happened??
How??

Wait for you

As feelings collide into my deep soul,
I try my best to always keep you in mind.
Just when I feel like you slowly slip away,
You seem to know exactly when to come back.
And when I cry for your love,
Somehow I feel you hear it.
Lonely with desperation,
Waiting for you to forever be mine.
Longing to hear your voice,
Telling me how much you care.
To feel the touch
That makes me feel so safe.
Longing to kiss the lips
That takes my breath away.

The longing inside my heart and soul
Aches when you’re not near.
Pictures and thoughts of you
Stay inside my mind.
I can’t bear the fact that you’re
Not by my side.
My mind wonders uncontrollably
Of where you might be.
Pain is what I feel.
Hurt.

Waiting to gaze into the eyes
That tells a future.
My heart softly whispers
The true meaning of love.
Faster and faster my heart beats
When you’re near.
Slower and slower it gets
When you’re faraway.

A thousand pages are needed
To tell you exactly how I feel,
That the love you give to me
Is the love that seems so real.
Gently touching me to ease my pain away,
I just can’t imagine how life would
Be without that touch.

First Love

I can’t get you out of my head
Its weighing my body down like lead
Im thinking about you twenty-four/seven
You used to make me feel like I was in heaven
My heart feels like its breaking
I cant stop it from aching
Why can’t I move on from you
We have already said adieu
I didn’t want to give you my heart
It began to happen from the start
You were my first and so far only love
In the end you pushed me away with a shove
You’ve hurt me too much to go back to you
Yet I cant stop thinking of all we’ve been through
I remember us laying out under the stars
Jumping away from each other when we heard the cars
When you held me in your arms you kept me warm
I was protected from everything, even a storm
You made me laugh, you made me smile
My time with you was completely worthwhile
I have tried so hard to forget and move on
I hate knowing from my life you are gone
I trusted you with everything I had
Because, boy, you made me so glad
I don’t think I will ever forget you
We were great together, us two.
