Missing you Hurts like no other pain A piece of my heart Was ripped out Spat upon and now it sits beneath your shoe. I love you still And you will always be in my heart Second chances come easy this you know But 3rd’s are impossible for you. I love you always Remembering the good times I’ll try to forget the pain While you move on again I’ll just try and forget The day I said, "Do you love me?" And you said no.
Rainbow Waterfalls by Evelyn Duffy
Rainbow waterfalls, dripping down my eyes. I see them in the golden world that is the dwelling of the wise.
I go through my tiny golden door and find a saintly man; he lets me ride in his paper boat and he takes me for what I am.
I become a golden one, and can see my glowing soul. Only in this silent world can I let my mask unfold.
If I stayed here long, I would not last, but sometimes I have to wonder if a golden death would not improve upon a leaden life beat under. Bird’s Eye by Liza Monroy
I could have sworn everyone that walked by was someone I knew leaning against a letter what came so clear we don’t it but it hurts and we don’t know it but we’re dying in our seats waiting for a bus or waiting for a fig to fall off a tree resting on a letter it became so clear dreams are knives juggle and cuts are just flat tires that get in the way and exhaust going out of the pipe is just a big brown cloud of love running through our veins I wasn’t happy in somebody’s arms I am happy on my own I just got to keep telling myself that because even sleeping in clean sheets I still wake up feeling dirty even if you’re packing suitcases someone still asks you what’s your hurry? even if it meant the Christmas tree wouldn’t have any lights I’d still leave and lean against a letter I could have sworn everyone that walked by was someone that I knew because I have a bird’s eye point of view
