I Can’t

Loss, Love, Poetry

I can’t let you
Continue to hurt me

I can’t continue
To let myself hurt you

I can’t be this person
That keeps coming back

I can’t keep being
Weak when I
Need to be strong

I can’t stop you
From being who you are
But I can stop
Being who I’m not

I can’t seem to remember
When things got this way
Was it from the beginning
Or was there some
Sign I missed one day

I can’t
As much as I want to
I can’t

The Tide Has Gone

Loss, Love, Poetry

I’m so tired
Of standing
On this empty shore

The tide
Once so strong
So long ago

Now an ocean
Dried and gone
Sand blown away

And here I stand
On this beach
With nothing left

But broken memories
Shattered dreams
And jaded love

Do The Stars Still Shine

Loss, Love, Poetry

When you gaze
Up into the night
Do you think about
At all the stars
We used to watch
Together

Do you count them
And think of the times
Our fingers locked
All the caresses
We used to share

Or do you count
All the opportunities
That we’ve missed
All the nights
We’ve been apart
All the kisses
We never had

Or do you look
Up into the night
Without me
Slipping
Through your heart
And through your mind

Have the stars
Seemed to dim
Now that we’re apart
Or do the stars still shine
Just as bright
Now that we’re done

How Do We Always End Up Here

Loss, Love, Poetry, Sorrow

How do we always seem
To end up back here
In this same place
In this same fucked up way

Sometimes we run away
Other times we chase
Sometimes we build walls
Other times we tear them down

How many times will we
Drag emotional knives
Leaving broken jagged scars
Zippered across each other’s hearts

Yet here I seem to sit
Alone in this dark and dreary room
Wondering if you ever hear me
When I’m whispering your name

Faded Memories of a Voice Gone Silent

I struggle
  some days
To remember her voice

Too often I wonder
Even after all these years
Was there anything
I could have done
To keep her
  from going silent

I don’t know
All the pain
That she went through
So maybe it’s
  selfish of me
To wish she had stayed

Even if only
To hear her voice
  instead
Of a failing memory

She Walked Away

She took a piece of me
As she walked away
I might have been able
To stop her somehow
Prevent her from leaving
But I decided that day
That I was better off
Without that broken
Piece of me

I’ll Never Stop Loving Her

I’ll never stop
Loving her
But I will stop
Pretending love
Is enough
In this cold world

I’ll never stop
Loving her
But I will stop
Letting her
Push me off
This painful ledge

I’ll never stop
Loving her
But I will stop
Waiting here
For messages
That never come

I’ll never stop
Loving her
But I will stop
Playing games
That no one
Will ever win

I’ll never stop
Loving her
But I will stop
Thinking that
Somehow
There is a future

I’ll never stop
Loving her
And maybe
Someday I’ll stop
Telling myself lies
About the things I will stop

The Story That Never Was

The slate wiped bare
As if the story
Was never written
But if I were
To tell the truth
Every story I write
Every page
Every sentence
Every word
From this day on
Will be influenced
By this story
That never was

Sad Goodbyes

I said I was sorry
That I wasn’t there
For her earlier
That I didn’t see
The pain she was in
And if I’m to be honest
I yelled at her too
Asking why
She didn’t tell me
How much life hurt
But it was too late
Her dead ears
Were past hearing
My sad goodbyes

It Will Never Be That Time Again

Death, Loss, Poetry

The watch stopped ticking
The moment he died
On account
Of the way he died
And so once in a while
I pull out that broken watch
And remember
It will never be
Exactly that time
Again
