Today is
the yesterday
I will hate
forever.
Never have I been
more foolish,
more ignorantly malignant.
Oh, I was blind.
Blind to right,
and blind to sense,
and blind to what
we both wanted.
That is why my heart,
crushed,
devoid of faith,
moves my pen
incessantly.
I will continue
to write of you, because
I miss you,
and I’m sick of me.

But then, so are you.




I'll never forget you.... I know that much, despite my foolishness.

that last line reads like a kick in the chest...this aches down the page...
well expressed emotions--powerful purge poet Kielo

When was the last time you felt high
Oh you were the best I've ever felt
Its so wrong not to be with you
Its getting harder to stay away.

maybe... but there are a good many who are not sick of you, nor are the days over for you to find that someone who is not sick of you.. and for them to embrace the you that they love..


last lines are like a kick in the chest... but that is how it feels sometimes isn't it.

Janet Marie.... Thank you. I would say that I was aiming for that specific impact, but I can't, because I honestly don't remember writing this, or the other three poems I wrote that night. Strange, eh? However, that is high praise, and I'm honoured.

Vicky.... thanks. Mind if I snuggle for a little bit?

KristieSue.... Yeah. It isn't very much fun, is it? *sad smile* Thank you.

angelblueyes.... Thank you very much. The hugs are much appreciated.

Ron.... Yes, that is how it feels sometimes. Thank you, and thanks for the encouragement.

same passion and pain that hits me hard and drives me mad, thanks for the poetry

and even when everything was wrong, and we were mad at the world, it was still beautiful.

ouch, we've all gotta write the pain

i think that it's brainless to assume that making changes to your window's view will gain a new perspective.
