Remember When

Remember how we said we'd ditch this place?
Our friends would talk, but we'd throw it in their face.
We were going to make it, bigger than they know.
Now I'm here making our dreams a reality, flying solo.

Traveling the world, claiming the riches in life,
not money or power, but beautiful sights.

You're off somewhere working endless days,
to provide for her, and your kid with grace.
I admire your strength, and determination- but now you're stuck, while I'm soaring,
and endless convention.

I stumbled upon, a love more pure than a pearl,
cut like a diamond, shimmering gold.
Her dreams are big, and visions wide-
 She loves me wholely, no doubts in her eyes.

So here I go, leaving this small town,
I'll be but a memory, of all those around.
When my name is known all across the land,
They'll say "Remember that girl? With her silly plans?"

And hopefully you'll see and I hope you regret,
that day that you said our ends have met.
I understand that I initiated it all,
however friendship grew, and you made it fall.

Surging Addiction

Laying here.
Naked.
Warmth and soft material graces my skin.
Breathe.
Surging sensations pulse through my veins.
Headache.
Addiction.
Kicking back in.
The grey skies whisper dares.
I challenge them.
Slipping into oblivion of creativeness and darkness,
Here I go again.
Just a quick fix.

April Showers

Emptiness fills me, as words fly like razor blades down my fragile,
milky white arms.
In taking numbers, rather uppers and downers-
Emotionally stricken, with the bitter chill of winter trying to hold on.
A soul tattered by those once trusted,
Forgiveness you preach?
Apologies you seek.
While in reality apologetic mannerisms and words were once in the working,
Even announced,
Then sinful woes, were pronounced.

Horizons sway colors of reds, purples, and blues-
A cotton candy sky on the brink.
Yet, before the calm ensues,
A series of storms abruptly intrude-
For the test one last time on the apparently weak.

The sky must fall,
In order to pick up the pieces.
