.
Crack, cringe, yelp, yip
Stir, strike, howl, haunt
Tortured soul... battered heart
Lost cries, lost hope
Needed comfort, needed love
Looking at the stars above
Seeing only blurs of light
So far from my sight
So hard for me to fight
Every effort seems so slight
Monsters in my mind
I try to bind
Suffering inside
Given up all pride
Negativity too overwhelming
Nightmares are dwelling
In my head churning
Terrible images burning
Into my brain!

The Long And Short Of It by mochashello, literature
Literature
The Long And Short Of It
Leave
the dishes in the sink.
Return those emails
later.
Run
cuz you\'re the goose.
Swing
so toes can touch the clouds.
...
These days can seem so
l..o..n..g.
But the years are oh so
short.
There is a sphere of malice
Behind my left eye, a little to the top,
Now swollen to twice its size.
It presses and threatens to dislodge-
My vision skewed, within the third orbit
There is a sphere of malice.
A nuclear war rages within.
With needles of pain the infantry marches-
Now swollen to twice its size.
From west to east it weaves and searches
To inject, assimilate or annihilate...
There is a sphere of malice
Now swollen to twice its size.
.
Let me hold you
Keep you safe
Fill your heart with my love
Let me in
I won't scoff
No matter the disarray
Show me your hurts
I'll be the salve
A love-transfusion
Tell me your dreams
I'll treasure them
Reach for the with you
Show me your sins
I'll forgive
And still think the world of you........
Let me love you-
I ask nothing in return,
Just that you stand in the open air,
Let me rain my love upon you,
Shine my comfort on you,
Surround you with acceptance,
And treasure you for who you are.
Please.
.
Shoelace licorice,
and coconut flakes-
a trip to the store
for our bunny cake.
Homemade dresses,
and Betty Boop;
pinching elbows,
tomato soup.
Tic tacs and grapenuts,
frozen peas,
we wave to the train-
scattered memories.
Times together,
visits we shared,
robbed by disease-
none have been spared.
Without recognition,
you look at my face-
some foreign mind
has taken your place.
Snapshots preserved,
buried inside-
though you can\'t recall,
I keep them alive.
But as the years pass
Recollections grow hazy,
I fight to hold on,
Remind myself daily.
I fear these scenes fading
Into childhood mist
For if I forget,
They'l
I told you how I felt,
Poured my heart out to you-
I hoped you would catch it
And treasure it tenderly.
Instead you let my emotions fall
And spill onto the floor;
You carefully stepped around them,
And soaked them up with a Brawny paper towel,
Which you then tossed in the trash, and walked away-
Without a second thought, and you've never looked back
I have a friend-
Who\'s name I won\'t say-
Who\'s friendship becomes clearer
With each passing day
Picking me up,
Spurring me on,
Carrying me
When I am not strong
Then suddenly- OOPS!
An accident, true...
Who would\'ve thought?
Tell me, who?
Arms around me,
So warm and strong
I feel so good...
So how can it be wrong?
Hands that stroke my hair,
Or that wipe away a tear,
Touch my face-
Things USED to be clear
Lips so soft,
Pressed against mine,
And my heart is beating
Out of time
Then suddenly- POOF!
All security lost
We bent the rules...
Now I\'M paying the cost.
The potential love you have for me
Is worthless in the end
Cuz someone else controls your heart
Though I\'ll always be your friend
You gave your heart away
But certainly not to me
You can\'t take it back
And there\'s nowhere to flee
Her hold is too strong
But you just don\'t know
That YOU are the one
Who just won\'t let go
Her name\'s carved in your heart
You wait for it to fade
You sat and watched and waited long
But her scars just simply stayed
Well, when the sun shines again
And you again can see
When the grass begins to grow...
Please think of me
I\'m remember the past
It\'s all that I can do
Cuz it\'s the closest thing I have
To being with you
The places we\'d go
The time that we spent
The things that we did
The rules that we bent
But now it\'s taken all away
Just pain is left, but maybe someday
Love will bring us back together
And this time it will be forever
The pain within my heart
The tears start to fall
As I hear in my mind
Your distant call
The blue in your eyes
The smile on your face
Your whispering voice
Your gentle embrace
What can I do to keep from crying?
What can I do to ease the pain?
How can I make the time go faster?
What can I do while you\'re a
Hold me close to you
Hold me...
Like you used to do
Hold me close to your side
Hold me...
Don\'t say \"goodbye\"
I can see it in your eyes...
What did I do?
I can see it in your eyes,
There\'s no denying that it\'s true
Though you turn and look away
You\'ll be back
Another day
So I\'ll wait here for you
I will wait
For you to choose
I see it in your eyes...
What did I do?
I can see it in your eyes,
There\'s no denying that it\'s true
Stay with me till the end
Stay with me
Just be my friend...
Take me away from this hateful world
Take me away from the pain
Take me away from these stinging tears
That fall from my eyes like the rain
Let me leave this House of Torment
Let me be free from the chains
Let me be free from sleepless nights
Let me be free from the reins
Don\'t make me stay within agony\'s reach
Don\'t make me stay on this earth
Don\'t make me stay in Suffering\'s palm
I detest the day of my birth
Why, oh why
Did it have to be
That the one thing I lost
Was my security?
Everyone has
Someone to hold and love
I held without loving...
Was it sent from Above?
At the time it seemed
The right thing to do
We needed each other
But didn\'t think of you
Where is the innocence
I used to hold....
Where is the warmth?
I suddenly feel cold
Where is my ignorance
Of Man\'s evil deeds
For just one more chance
My soul pleads
Oh Innocence, Innocence
Where have you gone?
You slipped through my hands
I couldn\'t hold on
Innocence, Innocence
Where did you go?
I wish you could come back
Now that I know
I sit, thinking of you again
In my head I see you next to me
I guess I\'ll never have you,
but you\'re always with me in my mind
It\'s torture cuz I know it won\'t be that way again
How I wish we were one
like we used to be
I can just picture you...
You holding me
If I could have you back now
I wouldn\'t hesitate
I wish I could tell you
but it\'s too late....
Just a breath away
Just beyond my reach
You and me together
Just a breath away
So close I almost feel it
Yes, I can almost see it now
But something blocks my vision
She holds you back somehow
I love you more than that girl ever could
I care much more than that girl ever would
You don\'t have to love her
Just take hold of your heart
Decide to take control
And then make a new start...
with me
God it hurts!
I love him so...
He means so much
He doesn\'t even know
I want him to hold me
I want him to love me
I want us to be together
I just want someone
All my own
It hurts so much
To be all alone
But God is my first love...
No one comes before
I know it seems selfish
To be wanting any more
God is it wrong
To feel this way?
I wish I could have him
If only for a day
But I want him to be happy
I don\'t want to cause him pain
And I know he doesn\'t want me
So my feelings I\'ll contain
Thunderstorms are erotic
A dried flower\'s lips,
suck away these last droplets of electric water.
she is lonely but is she not lovely?
I grow tired of these saintly semantics.
Sizzling tricks played by light.
Faces of past lovers, and regretful blunders.
Wilting petals pass through my fingers.
I grow tired of all this philosophy.
It is a falsifying warmth that keeps us here.
a smooth liquid deception,
and i think i am loved by you.
I grow tired of this rationality
And the rain may crash down, and the flower may drink.
He might be there, waiting,
but she will never think to look.
When I was at the end of myself,
And drowning in despair,
Ready to end it all-
I turned and you were there.
When I was off the narrow path,
Falling through the sinking sand,
Waiting for my life to end,
I looked up and saw your hand.
Like and angel, you reached out,
And saved me from myself.
Sent to me from Heaven,
You pulled me from my hell.
Lying in your arms now,
Feels like coming home.
Your kiss breathed life back into me,
And warmed my heart and soul.
Your loving wings envelope me,
Passion rises within.
My heart, which once was almost dead,
Now beats, for you, again.

Remember a time
probably before you were nine
when the only things that mattered were you and them and it and him
when bologni or ham where the biggest decisions you made
when girls were icky and life was simple
you had that dimple and everyone pinched the fuck out of it?
Remember when even the make believe bad words were bad
so you'd say nonsense li
I close my eyes
Your image still fresh
Your beautiful face
Burning into my mind
Acid
Eating the tissues
That sustain my sanity
I cover my ears
Your words still ringing
Your angelic voice
Running through my veins
Venom
Paralyzing the muscles
That sustain my control
I hold my breath
Your scent still powerful
Your intoxicating pheromones
Crashing into my body
Weight
Snapping the bones
That sustain my temple
I surrender my consciousness
Your touch still tingling
Your velvet skin
Piercing through my flesh
Blade
Spilling the organs
That sustain my existence
I swallow my tongue
Your taste still overwhelming
Your amb
-not so far-
i wonder, as i watch the sun set
if you\'re watching the same enkindled sky
and as the clouds burn away into the night,
i realize you can see these same stars
the moonlight in my hair
is the same glow caressing yours
i wander, sleeping flowers passing me by
sprinkled already with dew, the tears of heaven
and with each intoxicating breath i inspire
i can taste again your silky essence
the restful breeze whispering against my skin
is the same that graces your cheek
i flounder, drowning amidst rolling waves of euphoria
cascading over me with memories of your kiss
and of your golden eyes like the sunrise at sea
i dri
blue spheres of sorrow
are unwillingly released
from the prison inside my heart
through the fractures hate inflicted
the strain on these walls was just to great
they collapse and the tears flow free
quenching the fires that burn in me
with a torrent of unfocused pain
fighting to control the flood
knowing that its hopeless trying
to suppress a hurt so strong as this
exhausted im left to embrace it
allowing my shear saddness
to wash over my very being
restraint now forgotten,
i weep uncontrolled
such pain as this i cannot show
these tears now subsiding
i lock them once again
into that cage deep within my broken soul
so that
Lifting his fork
His hand had a tremble
Beer to his left
Me to his right
The silver flickered
The room was dim
Blue eyes peeked from his age
Today we were celebrating
My birthday meant nothing
Tight hugs and barren kisses
Me, I was left
With a big piece of chocolate
I licked the fork for a taste of sweet
His car sputtered
Away from what he knew
I'm addicted to you
And it's killing me
Why do I crave
What brings me pain?
You should come
With a warning label:
"Not for internal use"
But I let you in,
Opened my heart's door
And now you're consuming me
Try to kick the habit
Try to stay clean
But there is always something
To bring you to mind
A song, a scent, a photograph
I need you
I shake in withdrawal
I'm addicted to you
And it's killing me
I need you….
Out of my system
Does anyone miss me?
