I Feel Pain
Despite my outward appearance
I am a kind person...
I have a heart...
I feel Love
and
I feel pain
I laugh
I cry
I feel pain
My heart yearns
My heart breaks
I feel pain
I love....even when you don't love me
I worry...even when you don't care
I feel pain
I am expendable...this I know
Proven more than once
I feel pain
I am not the first
I won't be the last
and
I will survive it
This pain I feel

Sometimes
Sometimes, I am afraid...
I am afraid of losing my sanity...
the feeling of self worth...
the happiness of life.
Sometimes, I fear loneliness...
the emptiness, the solitude,
being by myself forever,
with no one to share my love.
Sometimes, I fear Death...
Not the act of Dying itself...
I don't worry about the how or when...
I don't worry about the pain...
Jesus endured more pain
than we could ever imagine.
The part of Death that I fear
is the chance of leaving things undone.
Did I do enough...
Did I help enough...
Did I ... love enough.
Sometimes, I fear life...
Much Regret
It is with much regret...
and a heavy heart...
I must inform you all...
I am not worthy.
Not worthy of your friendship,
Not worthy of your trust,
Not worthy of you attention...
and most certainly
Not worthy of your love.
I've given myself a total exam
and determined that something is wrong.
Many cracks in my armor
and a broken heart that once was strong.
Walls I once built high and mighty,
I had slowly taken down.
Not wanting to believe it could happen again,
seems I'm just a pathetic clown.
Standing in my own shadow,
what's
Expendable
Without the solace I had
eagerly searched for , I now
succumb to tears...
Offering myself as a sacrifice
to her needs, and becoming
infatuated with the essence of her,
I overlooked the obvious.
It wasn't me that she ever wanted.
Only filling a void till
something better came along...
Creating a diversion ,
an escape from the perrils of reality.
I was, and always will be ... expendable.
Focus not on my feelings...
my pain is not felt by you...
my sadness does not concern you ...
although my heart breaks for you.

MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE
TO THOSE OF YOU THAT CARE
I THINK I LOST MY MIND TODAY
WHAT LITTLE THAT WAS THERE
IT STARTED OUT A NORMAL DAY
NOTHING OUT OF PLACE
A DAY WITH DIFFERENT CHALLENGES
THAT I WOULD HAVE TO FACE
SOMETHING STARTED FEELING ODD
AS I PREPARED TO GO
THERE WAS A SENCE OF EMPTINESS
BUT WHY , I DIDN'T KNOW
I WALKED OUTSIDE AND LOOKED AROUND
EVERYTHING WAS STILL
NOT A SINGLE SOUND I HEARD
IT GAVE ME QUITE A CHILL
THERE WAS NO BREEZE, THE SKY WAS GREY
THE LEAVES WERE DRY AND BROWN
I KNEW THAT SOMETHING WASN'T RIGHT
AS I LOOKED AROUND
I MADE MY WAY DOWN EMPTY STREETS
THERE WAS NO ONE T

Literature
Honor in Hat Form
I said:
the world is hollow and I want to fill it with you
cliches just don't cut it anymore and platitudes are weighing heavy
I need amor en tangible... honor in hat form
weave your caress into a blanket I can drape around my heart in your abscence
and...
he did
Joy was sliced from these strings forever ago
severed by apathetic endeavor
yet you still move me
marionette glares at puppeteer
who's eyes no longer see her
never, never, no
what I was willing to be
painting that tortured smile from when fate decided to 'give this a go'
pulling all the while at the unraveling threads on my shoulder, where the angel left your heartundone
dreaming of little girls in dance
manipulated, malleable in loves sweet trance
forgotten on sorrows shelf
passed in the hallways no longer herself
impossibly immovable
irrevocably muted to the point of being unreal
more than I am able
to recapture lost thread
I have finally made my way back. I have truely missed being here and it will take me forever to catch up. For those who care...I didn't get married. Nine days before the wedding date she told me she wasn't ready. It seems the I wasn't what she was wanting after all. So, my daughter and me moved out and have been getting our lives back together. I will survive.
I just spent five wonderful days in Cancun at Club Med.Despite some "not so great " weather , it was a wonderful trip. At least it was warm. I proposed to my girlfriend and she said YES!!.No date set yet...Will keep you posted.
I have written my first "erotic" poem, and now don't know if i should submit it or not. It is not graphic by any means, but the subject is definately revieled in the verse. I don't want to be banned from dA for doing anything against the rules. Is there any where to submit a writing to be "judged" by the powers that be to see if it passes muster?
Thank you for the multiple favorites. Your protraits are lovely. I hope to see those stacks of unfinished poetry completed and posted soon. Glad to have met you.
HAPPY FRIENDSHIP WEEK!! Send this to at least 15 people you think are pretty sweet, including me if you care for me!
And if you get at least 10 back, you will receive good news within 15 minutes! ~Let\'s see how many hearts you get! =] All the best. Please continue sending you\'re own love to those you care for.
