WyomingSo many thoughts race
wildly though my mind-
I can not find a way for my mind to unwind-
My brain, it is heavy, laden and full-
I can
no longer run away from this powerful pull-
My heart swells in size-
Then I realize-
This is my new reality-
I’ll
never find a path that leads back to where I want to be-
I feel so guilty and alone-
Silently, inside, I cry and I
moan-
Horrific images of what they say you did-
The aftermath of the terrible things that you hid-
You must have
been tore down completely to the core-
Too many hidden demons to idly ignore-
I feel guilty, abandoned, isolated and
mad-
This is all that remains of the bond we once had.

Do You Remember?
Can you remember
the day that we met?
Some days I can, others not yet-
A mutual friend brought unknown neighbors together-
You’d
come to visit no matter the weather-
We were young, you were reckless, I was naïve-
The fact that you’re
gone I still cant believe-
We grew so close, the first boy I kissed-
So many lessons learned, I tally the list-
Can
you remember long summer nights spent talking?
Or the endless days spent after school walking?
I still look down the
street to see if you’re home-
I still can’t make my feet travel where we used to roam-
My eyes still
sting and fill up with tears-
And I still think of you when I hear grinding gears-
Will I ever outgrow this tremendous
pain?
Will I ever attain comfort or see the knowledge to gain?
Can you remember?
Can you still see?
Are
you still around?
Can you remember me?
Righteous ReincarnationI
don’t want to be an empty crevasse-
Where strange men come to dive-
Or just another vacant harbor-
Where
shipmen can’t survive-
I don’t want to be an island-
Isolated, alone and stranded-
Or just another
parched desert-
Where evildoers are disbanded-
I don’t want to be an ancient house-
Left alone, ashamed,
to rot-
Or just another hollow alley-
Where deceitful deeds are plot-
But let me be a garden-
Where earth
is broken down-
Or let me be a sturdy tree that’s standing proud-
With endless, steady roots planted deeply
in the ground-
I want to be the deepest sea-
With all my wonders still untold-
Or let me be a human heart-
Pumping heat that melts souls ice cold-
I don’t want to be anything-
That causes me to be alone or lost-
I don’t want to be alone-
Alone, at any cost.
