Something new

Every day is an adventure
Made only for those prepared to explore
There are traps and tripping hazards
Placed on the path before you
If you walk without looking you  will surly fall

Each day is a battle
We all have our scars to show
They glow under the black light of our hearts
There to remind us that last time it was a mistake
This time won't be any different

Every day we run the risk
That a friend will turn their back on us
But those friends are easily replaced
Because after all
Why keep fake people around

Every day is an challenge
Filled with every day decisions
A new test every day
But at least we learn
It's a beautiful thing we do

Every day is an adventure
Full of battles
And risks
And challenges
But at least we have learned something new.

What happens when I go on a poem generator at 3am [Lover]

We were best friends
And I will tell you before this poem ends
Why I am happy now
So happy that... Meow
What was that all about
You're wondering what I'm on now no doubt

I wrote this poem already
The format was pretty steady
And the rhyme scheme was worse
But I killed it while changing a verse
So here I am again
Writing this time as if at a ten

But here's why I started
at one point we parted
And I missed my best friend
Worried that all we had, had come to an end
three months felt like forever
When we weren't together

I think it was healthier for us that way
What can I say
In that time we grew up a lot
Each with a love not easily bought
Seeing you again after all that time
Was worth the mountain I had to climb

And now our friendship has changed
We are no longer estranged
I can look in to your eyes
And time just flies
I guess it's time for this poem to end
I love you, my lover, and best friend

My forever friend

My best friend for three years
You always wanted to be with me
We finally took the plunge
Was it worth all the fighting
And the break up that crushed me
Is it worth the hate I feel growing some days
That is covered up by the love I feel for you
Is it worth my tears every time I think of you
A learning experience they call it
What did we learn?
That eventually all good things come to an end?
Because that's all I am getting from this.

When I said you ruined everything I wasn't being fair
We ruined everything
For example...
Cuddling you has forever been ruined
Hugging you will never be the same
The song I wrote about you makes me cry now...
All the I love yous feel like a lie.
And why?
Because we insisted on being more
We broke what was a perfect friendship
In the name what we called love
At the sake of our perfect friendship.

Whenever you smile at me now
It feels like a slap in the face
I retreat to a corner in my brain and cry
Scumbag brain says
"Look at that smile, it used to be just for you"
At some point I fell in love with you
I don't remember when it was
But I remembered to tell you everyday
I didn't want you to forget...
And now we're back to friends
So here's 1400 letters to you
My forever friend

We may have ruined everything.
But at least we ruined it together...

A Night Sky Between Us

Looking in to the night sky,
I've never felt so alone.
There isn't a soul in sight,
Minus my 3 legged dog sniffing a bush next to me.
The world is quiet strangely,
And I can't help but notice,
I want to be next to him,
But the wind tells me to stand still.
Feeling like I will grow mad in the silence,
I let the world back in,
No longer fearing its sounds.
"I love you" I whisper in to the darkness,
Knowing that no one can hear me.
I feel in my heart that I just needed to say it.
I wonder for a second if he is thinking of me as well,
Casting the idea aside,
I call to my dog, and I walk home.

I don't know why

Sometimes I hate myself
I don't really know why
I just do

Sometimes I cry
I don't know why
I just do

Sometimes I hate who I am
I always know why
It has something to do with you

Sometimes I cry
And sometimes I know why
Tonight it's because I miss you

This isn't fair

Pay no mind to this shadow across my eyes
I know how much she means to you
I'll take a step back and let her have you
I understand when I have lost

She is better than me, I know it.
Self esteem shattered, fuck it.
Dreams crashed and burned, I don't care.
You love her, how is this fair.

I'll pretend that you holding my hand
Was like an extra long handshake for friends
The loving words you said
Were meant for her or I just misread them

She's nicer than me, that's laughable.
Hearts broken, my tears show it.
I'm crushed, and you don't care.
She doesn't love you, this isn't fair.

No answered prayers

I've cried enough tears
To fill the oceans with salt
Bled all the blood
That I had to bleed
All in your name lord
So why have you forgotten me
Should I sit and be quiet for a while
Maybe
Or maybe I should just give up
Say hey maybe God doesn't exist
But what if he does
Then I would be wrong...
Would it be worth it
I don't know
But all I know is
I am questioning everything
And getting no answers...
I pray every night and every day
But all I get is silence
And a slap in the face
Over and over
I'm fighting with reality
And praying
But none of the prayers are answered...
