Her Happiness

I'm so happy with my life now.
All the promises held true.
Even the small ones,
the new ones,
the true ones.

No lies.
No regret.
No sadness.

Even her, With her mind so hard to figure out
is opening up and letting the world know
what I've seen all along.

It's like the tides are turning
something once seen with only fear and remorse,
is now greeted with a smile and a rose.

And the world is at peace,
because she is happy.

Without a Sense of Security

Never told what could happen
Each day is a lie.
a dirty, cold secret.
What to make of it?

As humans,
our lives behold to us the great abyss of reality
And as humans,
we just want it to go away.
But unfortunately,
it isn't possible.

Just when we think that life is all blossoms and apple pies,
we step outside,
do something while living on the edge,
and we get a healthy dose of actual living.

So much for childhood innocence.

Dead at War

Tragedy fading
Newness arrives

New eyes
Nothing but blindness

New hands
Feeling nothing but cold

New mind
Where the hell am I?

New ears
The sound of silence

Is this all really new?
Or am I just not using the old?

Plea

I know,I've said it a million times before.
But I just have to let you know that my offer still applies.
And the truth is,
I don't know what to think.
Not about you, of course,
we've gone over that plenty.
No, I'm confused about others.
It's like I'm always walking on eggshells around them.
And after I talk to them, I'm left with an empty feeling of regret and loniness.
So, as your friend,
I feel like you're the onlyone I can talk to nowadays.
And the worst part of it all?
It feels as though our kindship is fading...
