Torn (The Fibonacci Sequence Competition)
Torn.
You
left
me broke
& shattered.
I leapt for my heart
that you dropped like it was nothing.
Catching it quickly,
I feel lost,
hurt,
torn.

Catching it quickly,
I feel lost,

The things I Miss
I haven't seen you in several days
& I'm just writing to tell you I miss some of your ways
I miss the way your face scrunched up when I playfully denied you a kiss
How every time we went out to eat, we were more concerned with giving a good tip
I miss seeing your body wrapped in a towel fresh after a shower, and how you still looked at me shyly when you dropped it
I miss seeing you feel insecure or weak, so I can boost you up with my love and words
I miss wrapping my arms around you completely, I was your rock & you were my girl ...

The Beast
A conversation with the inner strength we all have.
"Hello, it's been awhile."
"What are you doing here?"
"I've come to set you free."
"Free? Hahaha, You must be joking me."
"No, I'm not."
"BUT YOU WERE THE ONE WHO PUT ME IN THIS PRISON!"
"I know. I apologize for that."
"You think a mere apology is going to win my forgiveness?"
"No, but I think what I have to say next will."
*Breathes deeply*
"Speak your...

Lonely Thinker
Is it wrong to feel alone in a world full of misconception?
Minds hidden under barriers receiving no reception
Is it wrong to think the way I think, if no one thinks the same?
Is it my hard childhood, or my struggling lifestyle to blame?
The sad part is, no one wants to understand, even though they pretend
Listening to me express my deepest thoughts, probably wishing my talking would end
.

....
..........
.....
I wonder a lot, so much so that to wonder has become second hand
I forget that I'm thinking, losing track of time...

Thoughts Lost
This feeling of being lost in thought has overwhelmed my soul,
& never before have I felt this alone
My eyes light up with joy, but my smile widens with regret,
For the pain is what I wish could be seen, but the, empty smiles are what you get
Alone is all I have ever known, and alone I will always be.
I've heard turn to God, but why? Didn't he make me?
Life has handed me more then enough lemons for my lemonade,
Throw in some salted wounds, some faith, and this soul is what was made.
Thoughts constantly traveling to forbidden lands,...

"Uhm, Hey Dad"
(Wrote this a couple weeks ago while furious, and it just kept spilling out smoothly. Here's the final product, & Disclaimer: It's a lot darker then my usual pieces.)
Fed up with the world wishing I could ascend
Wishing the lives of the mediocre minded would end
Despite the facade of a smile,
The last time I was happy, I don't know, it's been a while
Struggling just to struggle some more, what's the point?
Let chance decide the outcome, where's a coin?
Heads, off with my head, leave the lifeless body in my bed
Tails, tip the scales like my mind trying...

"Soldier of Love, Warrior of Hope"
& as Fear struck him down, his armor shattered to pieces, the armor that the soldier himself spent years forging with metals enchanted by his love. Armor, that withheld through battles with gods, withstood the mightiest of blows, and defended against the strongest of evils.
This armor had finally shattered, seeing a lifetime of battles, but battles that changed their meanings each time. His armor was tired. His armor was old. His armor had finally completed its job in protecting him.
A battle scarred body, covered from shoulder to shoulder, was now exposed to the world....

The Lone Wolf
As the sun rises and sets, his mind never ceases to think
And his hope in humanity continues to shrink
A heart of love filled to the very brink
But what's love worth these days any way?
And his hope in humanity continues to shrink
A heart of love filled to the very brink
But what's love worth these days any way?

Unbalanced Love
From the beginning I have loved you
& I will until the end of time
Yet I always feel like the fool
When it's you who can't get it right
So, why, Why do you continuously shred my heart
Walk all over it like your floor mat
I have always righteously played my part
Yet you keep pushing me closer to snap
My word has been kept from day one,
I have never lied to you
So it's unfair that I'm the one to feel dumb
For always being right to you
Chance after chance I have given to you to prove your worth
Promises...
