Emotionally Invested by dallasgiraffe89, literature

Literature

Emotionally Invested

He slowly fills me in on his life, Telling me about his losses and confusion. I long to ease his suffering. Tears silently fall from my eyes While he smokes a Marlbro. He is blind to the here and now As he shares his painful memories. Briefly he sees my tears, Tells me that he's not worth crying over. He doesn't want to hurt anyone, Drag them into his unsteady life. He'd rather be alone, For he knows that If she were to say that she wanted to fix them, He'd take her back in a heartbeat. Without hesitation He'd welcome her once again into his open arms. It leaves me torn and concerned, Leaves me emotionally invested, Without

You Said by dallasgiraffe89, literature

Literature

You Said

You say that you want me to move in with you, That you want me back in your life. But you're the one who walked out of mine. How can I believe what you say? You said that you didn't mean to disappear, Didn't mean to hurt me. Yet you did it anyways. Why would I trust what you've said? You told me that you still love me, But when I tell you the same thing, You don't see how, When not even five minutes earlier, You told me "You don't just stop loving someone." How can I believe what you tell me, When you don't believe it yourself?

Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow by dallasgiraffe89, literature

Literature

Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow

Yesterday, My ex stopped by. Yesterday, I broke down, And he saw my tears, My pain. Yesterday, It was almost as if nothing bad happened As he kissed me for the last time. Today, Not one song Can explain how I feel. Today, Cut and paste Songs together To explain The confusion, The pain, The memories brought to the surface. Today, I want to cry into a full bathtub As my speakers play Songs for the broken-hearted, And my sweet release Lets the pain flow freely. Tomorrow, I might regret standing there For so long, And letting my vulnerability Be so exposed. Tomorrow, My heart might start to heal, My pain may start

Where Is Your Reality? by dallasgiraffe89, literature

Literature

Where Is Your Reality?

I can feel the bass through my feet. Lights flash before my eyes In a blur of color. Neon clothes and make-up Glow beneath the black light. Bodies are being mashed together In a dancing frenzy. We hug people we've just met, And become part of their family The next weekend. We all instinctively follow A short code of conduct; Peace Love Unity Respect Responsibility. Five words That make up Our underground world. We forget reality And go by different names. People recognize one another By simple pieces of jewelry. I am Star Burst. I am a raver. I am one of thousands. Where is your reality?

The Wrong Cards Were Played by dallasgiraffe89, literature

Literature

The Wrong Cards Were Played

Our marriage isn't going to happen Quite the way we wanted. Everything has to be put on hold For a few years, Because the wrong cards were played. We have more time to plan things In more detail, And we have time to save up. But I'll be without you For a few Years Because the wrong cards were played. I know everything is left up to fate, But we also have free will And the power of choice. Now I will have to Suffer Here without you For a few years because of your choices And the wrong cards were played.

So Much For Staying Friends... by dallasgiraffe89, literature

Literature

So Much For Staying Friends...

You had someone text me Asking for me to not contact you anymore... What is that about? It's been over three months Since I've talked to you... I only called you once, Sent you one text, and one friend request online... I miss you. What is so hard to understand about that? So much for staying friends... Just because things didn't work out as we planned, Doesn't mean we fade into a distant memory of one another...

Ignorance is Bliss by dallasgiraffe89, literature

Literature

Ignorance is Bliss

When someone says ignorance is bliss… It's a lie. She doesn't see The pain she is causing. It all started One quiet summer day With bubble tea. I started to fall for her. Her pale skin, Soft blonde hair, Beautifully blue eyes, Perfect smile. That was eight months ago… Her ignorance is her bliss, But it's also my pain. Every call goes to voicemail. Each text goes unanswered. Where did I go wrong? What did I do? She doesn't see The pain she is causing. I long to look into her blue eyes, Touch her pale skin, Play with her blonde hair, And see that perfect smile. But she's forgotten about me… I love her

For My Grandfather:: A tribute by dallasgiraffe89, literature

Literature

For My Grandfather:: A tribute

My grandfather was only 66, On September 25, 2010 When he left this world. I miss him, More than I have shown. I haven't cried, Haven't let my emotions be seen. Though normally, I can barely keep My head level. Why now, Do I have the ability To keep a lid tightly sealed? Hearts seem to beat slower During a funeral, Or a memorial. Tears fall faster than most realize. We take the time to grieve, Those who have left this earth. Some leave without pain, Without suffering. Others pass on without remembering The day before, Or that they told their son, Directly for the first time, "I love you, Scott." My dad became a littl

First off, Coffee on an empty stomach is not a good idea. I have the shakies. Need... More... Coffee... Anyways... Everything is upside down and backwards since yesterday. My ex stopped by yesterday, and every thing stood still while my heart pounded in my ears. And now, I'm losing my mind. And I have just discovered that someone has gotten into my candy cane stash, and almost depleted my supply! :fork: So now I have to wait until effing December to restock :tears: :wtf: :frustrated: :censored:
