These bar wire gates separate us but they are not the reason you seem so far way from me today.

I know you have so much on your mind lately and things just don’t seem to be going your way and so you’re pulling away and the tear is so strong.

That it hurts to feel like were fading apart as everything begins to make us choose sides for you no longer want to care and I’m fighting every day to continue to care and fight for what I feel would be a possible to me and maybe  just me after all .

Poetry

Daily Prompt: Paper

mywords2228

Paper you used to be my go to when I had to write something down

whether it be poetry or just a thought.

I would just get this feeling and quickly I would grab a pencil and just start writing until

my heart was content.

The words would just flow from my mind on to that paper and I wouldn’t stop until I felt I had let it all out.

I still have poems on paper and read them now and then but my love for writing on paper isn’t as strong as before.

As I spend more time writing on my computer than I do with paper.

Sometimes I go back to you paper and write and write until my hands just can’t write anymore and I have to rest.

Paper you were what I used in the past and sometimes in the present and if It hadn’t started with you.

I wouldn’t have a full notebook of poems now and I wouldn’t have so many more poems on my computer either.

I had your back and you had my back and together we could accomplish anything we put our minds too.

Then one day you notice something we weren’t both good at and soon we were going into two directions and there was no goodbye just you disappeared.

And the anger and hurt I felt didn’t seem to matter to you now that we were no longer friends and you had moved on and I guess I had to move on too or I’d never get over the hurt.

Look at me as I walk by

Aren’t I pretty and look at how balanced I am

So much talent in little old me.

Daily Prompt: Crisp

mywords2228

It was Friday and she couldn’t wait to see her grandkids again.

It had been so long, too long if she really thought about it.

And she wanted to give them something that they would remember her of.

So she found out everything they liked to do and eat and decided to bake for them.

And go out and buy them some games to play and she wanted to give them a gift card with a copy of crisp dollar bills in them.

As she walked home from her little community store.

she couldn’t stop smiling for she knew this weekend would be a time of joy for her and her grandkids.

These

mywords2228

last days have made me realize that

it’s now or never.

I have to make these steps for everything

to work out the right way not just for me but, for you too.

The day will be long and when it’s over I will not be the only one

tired and feeling like the weight of everything has fallen from shoulders.

There will be a lot of words exchanged between us but once it’s all said and down

we will both be in a happier place.

To the hope that tomorrow will turn out just the way we wanted and needed it too for it

has been stressful lately.

Daily Prompt: portion

mywords2228

I want to give you a good portion of my time but something always gets in the way.

I say sorry and you forgive and the time spent together is good.

But, the cycle of being busy is winning these days.

So, a portion of my time is wishing I had time for you.

Maybe one day that portion will be free again.

My

mywords2228

mind is on you

as the day goes by

I try to not get distracted

by the things that have been said.

I want to talk to you about it all before

things start to fall and vanish  before we solve

this issue together.

Daily Prompt: Survive

mywords2228

I just want to survive the days and years that seem to hard.

But, I don’t want to survive them just to make it by each day with no life lesson learned.

I want to feel every emotion and live in every moment.

Even when those moments aren’t so great and I just want them to get better.

And they will only in time, so I have to keep surviving to see what more this life can offer me.

I will survive for me and walk slowly through the journey I am on.

For I don’t want to miss seeing the wonders before me.

For when it is time for me to go I want to feel like I conquered more than just a few things.

I want to look back and say I survived it all and God was on that walk with me and without him my chances were slim.

Stay

mywords2228

A minute so we can talk

I swear it won’t take long.

For I know you have somewhere to be

and I don’t want to waste your time.

But, the minute I open my mouth I see a light go on  in your eyes and I know this time you will listen.

As a minute turns into five because I’m no longer talking but you are and it’s like finally everything clicks again.

Were connected to the point that life doesn’t seem to bad.

And just maybe this time things will stick and not fall apart so quickly.

Daily Prompt: Pink

mywords2228

Pink the color of your lips

pink the color of her blush

pink the color of her hair

pink the color of your shirt

pink the color of fallen flowers on the sidewalk as the cherry blossoms fade away.

As the day ends the sunsets and pink sky fades into a gray evening.

When all I want to do is sleep again.

Daily Prompt: Pink

Poetry

I don’t even

mywords2228

want to dislike you

for as God’s child I love you.

And even though you seem to drive me crazy

the word hate never seems to come to my mind

even when you burn so many others on your path

of hate and revenge.

Sometimes I’ll see a flicker of the person I first thought you were

but if I blink just once you are right back to being so nasty and yet to you.

The crime was never committed and you are just trying to be the better person

but the cycle of your hell keeps burning all around and  you won’t stop until

you have me being just like you.

But I learned from you evil ways that one must  trust one’s gut in this situation.

A let go of the things that we can not control and to not hate or dislike the people or things that try to bring you down.

Holding

mywords2228

back as I write this letter to you.

I pace myself as I really want to tell you everything going on

but, I just can’t for things aren’t the same anymore.

The minute I started to write you the energy inside me was off

and my guard went up.

And, I don’t know if things will get better between us as things just seem

so off and maybe it’s just because everything is slowly taking a new direction.

And that only time will tell if things will be almost the same or so different, I wish

I could just say the words I need to say to you but instead I bit my tongue and write you

the simple things in my  life.

Daily Prompt: Blanket

mywords2228

So cold out all I want is to stay inside

and be wrapped in my blanket.

My blanket is like a shield that keeps out all the stress and worry.

And all I want to do is stay in it and not deal with my daily responsibilities.

I want to be free again and not have been on a schedule.

I just want to get lost in my music or movies.

while wrapped up in my blanket with no care in the world but to relax.

Letting my mind not have to do much thinking for once.

Poetry

I’m

mywords2228

not going to stop looking for you.

The day you left was a surprise for me

the things they told you were not true.

But, they knew it would send you packing

and it would leave me all alone and an easy target.

I stayed and took every blow they fired at me but, today

I’ve had enough.

And I’m on my way to find you and live my life out with you and our

child.

The three of us can fight any battle together for you are my shield and I am your sword

and together we are unstoppable.

But  apart we can only fight for so long without failing and fall down with so many wounds.

It may take days and weeks or even months but, I will find you all on my own and I

won’t ever let you go.

You won’t ever doubt me again or even doubt our love for you will trust me and I know that you know when I’m lying.

But, you were hurt and angry before more lies came firing at you and you had no way to protect yourself from it all.

And so I understand why you left but when we become one again there will be no going back.

Your heart will heal and so will mine and the bond that is there  will grow stronger as the years go on.

We will slowly forget about the bad memories of the past and make more wonderful and joyful memories that will cover up our scars.
