twisted homecoming

so many smiles so many lies
so many lonely nights she cries
no one can hold her no one can try
no one can save her from her own selfish lie

break the window break the chain
paint the cover you place on the stain
no one will see it no one will care
stand before the mirror and stare

into the soul you see before you
the horrifying shadow hates you too
close your eyes and hide the tears
open your mouth and release the fears

the bitter taste the lingers there
on the lips you heard were fair
let the stench fill your nose
for only one so twisted really knows

hide the truth as best you can
lie to yourself and say your a man
say you did it in the name of love
and hope the only one who sees is above


 shine a light so bright that all can see
and you will find the joys that echo within me

I'll tell you what it will take.  it'll take me having about ten times more posts and a dozen more job titles with an ungodly amount of underlings to do my work for me so that I can sleep and eat all day long... well ok.  maybe not.

How dank and dark the bitter taste of deception.

Well told, Desperado, looking forward to reading more.

thanx you two.  I'm the local ghost here.  hehe I'm here today and gone the next couple of months it seems.  I have seen so many come and go that sometimes it seems like I'm just taking time lapse photography of reality.  it's like I see it all happening yet can't touch it till the moment is gone.  c'est la vie.  suck it up and drive on.  take care and God bless.

I knew I wouldn't be disappointed. You have such a way with words. It's almost scary how good this is.

All my love,

thanks all of you.  this is perhaps one of the poems I like more than the rest I've written.  Probably because it's truth is something I'm still grasping at.
