Autumn

How can you smile the way you do how can you not miss me like i miss you how could your words have ever been true the coldest thing is that you dont miss me like i miss you do you want to see inside me all the dark places where i try and hide you know im sorry for what i said what i did you dont sleep but its not from thinking about me or we or what we dreamed or how we lost it my consolation my comfort when i sleep is that i know that one day soon i wont be cut this deep only the strong yeah right gone to soon do i ever cross your mind when you say goodnight to the moon i want you back or out of my mind for now i cant find a moments peace but i can see the other side bitter yup sweet im not how do i build bridges when i cant break down these walls of broken promises and failed attempts i just want to hear you say just another day i wish i never ducked your calls i wish i never cared at all insecurity is never sexy you celebrated my complexity then you left me and im more alone yeah i said it i regret it and i dont care who knows or if you see this all i know is i miss you Support independent publishing: Buy this book on Lulu.

    I was going to mention the same lines as Claudia notes above; don't we all ask that question? The emotion comes across even as the language remains controlled. I like how this is both personal and also universal.

    "how do i
    build bridges
    when i cant
    break down these
    walls of broken
    promises"

    —profound raw honesty that flows rapid; skilled lines justify many emotions. intense

    Raw emotions pour forth..

    I can relate to that deep longing. Yet I know it is better to let go..

    Clear and raw my friend
    What a great expression of love gone...

    I've written a lot of poems with this "regret" theme, too, so I strongly related to this. Well done, my friend. :)

    "I want you back/or out of my mind..." The past is a trap where you gnaw your foot off to get out some days...but there's a little reptile in any survivor and one day it grows back--sense you already know that in this poem.

The 5 People Who Make Life Heaven

They listen when you need to talk Talk when you need to listen They know your darkness Let you know theirs Without judgement and expectation You can talk to them about how you see things They don't get angry or anxious when you disagree Trust you enough to say what they really think Read tweets and novels Never make you beg or grovel Won't allow it Remind you that you're better than that Lay some of their burden on you Let you behind their wall Feel welcome behind yours You feel each other with heart and mind Even if you don't explain yourself  They get you You get them These are the ones that make life worth living Make you love to be alive Reflect you to you Teach and learn Some days the lead singer Some days the band These are the ones You can count on one hand (c) Ron Kennedy

Poetry Tree

I saw no birds grieve No fallen leaves No branches on the ground None made a sound It wasn’t rotten It didn’t die in a storm Capitalism came In its progress form To take one of my last  Best refuges from me I may be the only one who noticed The death of my poetry tree.
