Falling and Getting up

The past is funny
you start young like anything does and get old like you should
we spoke some time ago and you didn't think i was good
for my words meanings were misunderstood
things happen times change, people change
time goes by all communication is cut, all ties are gone
now there is the internet and a connection is made after years
memory is frail, thoughts are almost nonexistent
the attraction that was long forgotten had
reproached the front of the brain, and the tip of the tongue
looking splendid on so many levels I wracked my brain to figure out what it was
that i saw and couldn't remember
we exchange words again and it's almost as if you knew me from yesterday
as for me remembrance as much harder
you became food for thought just something i wanted to have on my mind
yet troubles came and houses were build to stop the harsh weather
this house was made of the strongest metal known to man
not letting anything or anyone in nor out
but what should have been done was to bring you in from the storm
which was not done, and whatever was there disappeared into the coldness
now that the storm is clear, my head is empty and my thoughts get  back to you
the realization that I was too late came upon me... 
so here I sit alone in this giant metal house that has turned to glass
as everything is seen like the items in an old shops windows
only in mystery but not wonder

Summer glaze

What a wonderday in the neighborhood
trees blooming, sun shining
people smiling, joy fills the air
there was a conversation, which led to a date
a movie or a stroll?
a chill spot or dinner?
So many things to do in this giant iron city
so little time, so little money
but wait why should any of that matter
you're in the moment you enjoy the splendor of being together
the thoughts run through the mind of optimism and pessimism
Should I stay or should I go?
Are you gonna be my girl?
the quiet tension between us has begun to dissipate
days, weeks pass and you say yes
weeks, months, years pass
what a happy relation we created
falling in love did not happen
for we both had strong attraction, which turned to true feelings
which then were created into bonds then love blossomed
time flies family and friends come and go
we grow old and still live every day like nothing matters...
just as life seems to have been the best light flashes
sirens blare...everything goes dark, nothing is visible...
yet i still hear the sirens...then a single, solitary light comes on
like a light bulb as i walk i hear breathing...louder and louder it becomes
till it stops..silence and the floors drops, my eyes open
I'm in my bed, laughing as my dream...fantasy...comes to an end

The unknown abyss

This heavy feeling of pain, anguish
Where does this hollowness come from?
Holding my chest, my heart feels like it will burst
My head shakes
My arms flail
My legs turn to jell-o
But why does my body feel this way and my mind ignore it?
My absent minded thoughts confuse me in ways that are non understandable
The invisible butterflies that are said to exist come and go
While the pain that is left behind is heightened.
You start and stop and set a comfortably confusing pace
A pace I wanted to keep up with, but no more
You speak in words of perfect rhythm
Your words keep my mind spinning like a top
Running like a marathon, and just awe struck like a surprised child
So why do you ask do I despise this amazing feeling?
Because the pain left behind by your words is so great
More painful than the worst type of murder
More painful than torture, not of the body
You unknowingly tortured my mind and locked it in your cage
Now that I've found the key
turned tail and escaped, yet parts of you still reach out
Trying to seduce me to acknowledge you, but fall on deaf ears
In your presence I see through blind eyes so your not there
The nothingness you made me feel has come back to you
It makes my words seem like a sweet remorse
Don't try to hold those thoughts for this big 2-0.
means things of the past that I dropped are outdated, obsolete...
And there are no updates for this system
