I stood

mywords2228

there and just take it all in as your words wash down me like water

I’m frozen in time as each word echo’s in my ear.

With no end to the words that end everything that felt right to me

I thought finally things were looking up for me and  then it was all gone.

I felt the jolt of energy just leave me as the energy I had that day just drain

from me as my spirit broke into a million pieces and then came my heart.

And not long after all that I completely fell apart.

The sound out of me sounded like a wounded animal begging for help and no one

ever came to help me.

So all alone I stood after you took all I had taken away from me just by your words:

“I hate you”, and I never loved you. But I loved how much you ate up everything that came out of my mind”.

Then you laughed because you had tricked me into getting close to you just to turn around and tell me how you really felt.

You always hated me for being me and not caring about the shit others threw at me but for you it was like winning the biggest award.

Hurting me was a game you risked it all just to make sure I was left picking up everything.

For you never believed in romance and love and to make me believe everything you did and said.

Was amazing and for you at the end of the night you slept like a baby, as I tossed and turned and lost apart of me that day.

It would take a while for me to gain my strength back and just as long to trust and love someone again.

I know

mywords2228

I control my thoughts

but sometimes they just get the best of me.

Turning everything I touch turn into a disaster

and all of it goes up in flames.

I have no one to blame but myself

and the dislike is so strong that I can’t hide from it this time.

The days go by and time is lost as I wonder what I can do to stop

this cycle of happening again.

I’m not the best at keeping change for somehow the past mistakes

sneak back into me like a snake and the bite is always so poisons that

the results are always a loss.

I’ve tried to stop myself before the damage is done but somehow I always

let it out in the end and I floats through the air traveling fast to get to its victim.

And at the time it feels like it needed to get out and maybe it did in a better light or a different day or time.

All alone

mywords2228

I watch as the world goes by me

like a ghost in my present.

Everyone walks all around me like I just

faded from their memories and all I want to do is not

to dislike them because I care.

But no matter how many times I scream for them to look

at me they just seem to ignore me.

They look me right in the face and smile and walk away taking a part of me with them.

They don’t respond for me but they reach out when they need something.

But, lately the wanting to reach out is slowly fading from me and as I walked down the street.

I notice how light I seem to be walking now

and  I realized that I’ve faded away almost completely.

The hope that I can come back is so small that it will take a

miracle to save me from disappearing and all I can do now is

stand here and wait.

Daily Prompt: Harmony

mywords2228

We seems to create our own harmony

like two beats that go together in perfect harmony.

I can’t stop wanting to be with you and it’s

like listening to my favorite song.

The Beat and the singer are in perfect harmony that when

you hear the beat you get lose in it and the words just pull you in deeper.

With you it’s like were making everything and everyone around us feel so

peaceful and whole.

The sound of our voices together create the harmony that everyone wants to accomplish in their life.

One day at a time our harmony brings others together or at least find themselves and start not only believing in themselves but others as well.

Not enough

mywords2228

Time has gone by for me to truly forget but I’ve forgiven you and now

I’m just trying to live my life without feeling like flashbacks of that day will break me.

I’m stronger than I ever been

I have to repeat that to myself everyday

just to believe it.

Or I fear I will crumpled up in the corner and not ever get back up

I don’t ever want to feel like I’m making the wrong move all the time.

That I attached to quickly and need to pump the brakes and slow down

To not listen to the voice inside of me when it screams danger or to stop listening to the lies.

I wanted to be loved so bad that I almost completely drowned myself and lost what was so pure about myself.

For what a feeling that was so confusing that it was never clear but a long never-ending cloud of smoke.

I didn’t

mywords2228

see this life lesson coming as I lay awake in  my bed at 3 in the morning.

Every room in my house quiet as everyone sleeps so peacefully.

Except for me, whose wide awake with so much to say.

Yet, craving to go back to sleep .

But no matter how many times I try to drift back to sleep.

Nothing happens and soon my eyes are open and I’m staring into the darkness.

So I just decided to write and here I am writing.

With tiredness coming quick to my eyes I breathe a sigh of relief as I drift back to sleep again.

Daily Prompt: Sound

mywords2228

I live for the sound of music as it plays in my ear

over and over again.

Every new song drawing a new connection to my soul the sound of music

calms me.

Brings me peace

But the sound of your voice brings me chills and I crave you

Your so confident with everything you do and nothing seems to be able to hold you back.

We bond over music and enjoy the sounds that surround us.

We don’t let the noises of the world get to us as we support each other through the times when the world around us becomes to loud.

Quiet

mywords2228

I am

Sometimes I don’t have much to say.

In silence I stand watching the world around me.

Not much to say as I disappear into my mind and think before I say something.

But, at the same time I like the quite moments when no one is making a sound.

And all is quiet

As if everyone is sleeping and I’m up just enjoying the world for what it is.

The moon shining down on me as the noise of the world start to fade as we all become so tired that our eyes can’t bare to stay open for another moment.

So quite it is as the music plays in my ears and nothing outside or around me can be heard and, I’m at peace and I’m at home.

With no care in the world I welcome the quite moments and, fade into the world where no ones else voice is heard.

For just a moment I find the missing pieces of who I am and, I thank the quite for granted me the truth I need to see.

Open

mywords2228

Your heart to me

Don’t fear that I won’t break it

just take this chance with me.

Trust me that I will do all that is in my power to protect you and your heart.

You see your so precious to me that I can’t stop loving you.

No matter how many times you push me away, I won’t stop loving you and catching you.

The world is pushing you around like twister picking you up and around you go until you fall to the ground broken.

But, you see with me the storm can’t touch you so please just take my hand and hold on tight.

For the ride I’m taking you on will be bumpy but, when you finally trust in me it will smooth out.

And it will end with our hearts filled to the max and you will always feel safe with me.

I want to

mywords2228

disappear when you are  near me.

But, invisibility isn’t a trait I’ve developed and so every time you come around I try with all my might not to turn into jello.

I want to act normal and not feel like when you’re around I can’t seem to stop the fast beating of my heart.

The slowness of the time we spend together but some how you seem so calm and collected.

You smile and the wood inside of me catches fire and warmth spreads inside of me and the coldness of the winter soon fades from my mind.

You dance around me like the flames of the fire dancing around inside of me, your movement so smooth and defined.

You are the bright star I’ve been looking for every night I look up at the sky and wonder what is it that’s missing from my life.

You came out of nowhere and you stamped your claim on my life, my heart before I could blink an eye.

And you made it clear you won’t going anywhere and in my heart and my mind I believed and trusted your word.

Words

mywords2228

floating around in my head as I try to recall the specific moment that I just truly fell in love

with music that every time I have writers block or just need a pick up.

All I know is the moment my headphones go on and the music starts to play in my ears this feeling of happiness just flows inside me and I smile for the little things in life that may be bothering me just disappear.

And I’m transported into a world of nothing but great moods and feelings of pure happiness and it just makes me appreciate the voice singing to me.

For who would I be if music wasn’t available to me?

A question I don’t know the answer to but, I do know who I am today has a lot to do with God and somewhere a long the way he opened my ears for music just means more to me.

He opened a new door to me and that specific moment changed everything for me and there hasn’t been a day that I have forgotten that.

Adele Concert

mywords2228

Every concert is a rush

The music starts and the artist voice comes on and you feel the crowd go crazy.

And you’re happy to be apart of it and the experience for it never seems to leave your mind

you come back to it when you want to think of a good time and why you love music.

You realize that once you go to one concert, you want to go to more and more until it becomes apart of your life.

You cherish every moment with the people you go with and you hope you will be able to look back and know you lived your life to fullest and didn’t miss out on the fun moments.

The melody

mywords2228

plays on and on

and in that moment

I’m lost in the music

and my emotions are

growing.

As  the words fill my mind

and I’m lost in time.

My fingers hit the keys

and the words fly from my mind.

As the melody guides me to my next piece of work

The words connect me so much I start to change them

To fit the flow I need to feel like this piece is mine.

The melody flows through me like blood through my veins, it energizes me to go

On with my writing as I erase to find the right words that leave me with a smile on my face and, feeling so good I know the piece is good no matter what others say.

Caught up in the Moment!

mywords2228

Your eyes are close as you sing from your heart and soul

and, I can’t seem to focus on anything else.

As the beautiful melody flows out of your mouth

and I’m in wonder, how such a beautiful voice can out shine it all.

It makes me wish for a moment that I could sound so pure and electrifying all at once,

I wonder if you feel everything bubble up inside of you as you release it all.

Your  troubles of the week, month, lifetime and when your done there is nothing left

but, the feeling of you letting it all go and now the heavy weight that was on your shoulder is gone for good.

Being able to sing with all of you on the line is one of my favorite things to witness or listen to.

Just knowing I’m able to feel the connection of what you felt that day, that moment is forever amazing to me.
