Inside

Nobody can see the pain inside. The infection buried deep, hidden away from sight. Sealed in by the protective layer of flesh, masking the machinery that malfunctions. Scars occasionally open up and weep, releasing their toxic emissions. Self defence mechanisms kick into action, stitching the tears... Sign in to see full entry.

Lost

When you arrived, tears ran from my eyes, I held you with love, soothing your cries. I gripped your hand and watched you grow, Whatever you’d done, I’d want to know. We shared laughter and fun over the years, Now it seems delight turns to tears. You look at me now, with a cold, hard stare, I want to... Sign in to see full entry.

I Knew

When I first happened by chance, I knew. Knew there was something special. When we conversed more and more, I knew. Knew despite our boundaries we’d be together. When we first met, I knew. Knew it would be the first of many. When I held back and denied, I knew. Knew I was only fooling my own... Sign in to see full entry.

Invisible Terror

All you crave, all you desire, all you yearn for. You only want the rational, the clear white path. Trying so hard to banish the bruises of the day. Hoping to abandon the smarting sores that fester within. You fall into sleep, hoping to escape the torture in your mind. It is not to be. The door of... Sign in to see full entry.

Awake at 3am

Fire scalds, burning my brain Cancerous growth, agonizing pain Blood soaked sores slaughter my skin Blades of steel carving within Bile swelling the back of my throat Vicious demons waiting to gloat Acid tears burning my eyes Endless pain and time to die.

Hero Worship

I knew not what you offered with those promises most sound. Adventure and excitement, admiration unbound. Those dreams had an enormous price, used totally for your gain. When innocence is lost, screaming out, in terror and in pain. And not just ones trust, a faith and spirit once bright. The... Sign in to see full entry.

Ghost by my Side

If I were to look around I wouldn’t see you at all I call out and shout to you, in the hope of getting an answer, but rarely getting a response Out of the corner of my eye I know you are here. Always watching and listening at everything that I do. An invisible presence all around me. I'm on my own... Sign in to see full entry.

Fathers Day

It can’t be that long, since you’ve been gone, Seems a short time, yet in fact nine years on. The summer of nightmares, when the illness came, That cold autumn night when you ended your pain. I could never have wished for a more loving Dad, When you were around I could never be sad. I wished you’d... Sign in to see full entry.

Do and Don't

Don't let the past tear your essence apart Don't suffocate your life, breaking your heart Don't ever think, it is all too much to bear Don't even think that loved ones don't care Don't try and hide, and put on your mask Don't ever give up on life's insoluble task Don't take to heart loved ones words...

Cut

A beautiful new life born from my own. Tears of joy flowing as the cord is cut. But the bond will remain, bonding with tenderness. As birthdays come and go A father’s pride watches him grow. Then comes the conflict as anger develops destroying our special bond. Now hate will replace the love he once... Sign in to see full entry.
