The death of a thousand cuts As my spirit drips away. Others must think me nuts For wishing that you would stay.

You dropped the mask for me. You showed me the darkness, flecked with brilliant bright beauty before covering yourself. Not realizing that I loved your shadow, embraced it as my own. Loving your flaws, seeing in your soul the Rorschach test reflecting my strengths, weaknesses, and desires unspoken.

When the bright memories fade to grey And all the gold loses its luster Shadows gather at the end of day And a smile is more than you can muster; I will still love you. When the light of your eyes begins to fade As your hair has done over the years And I face […]

One year ago you were still here, in my heart.  In my life. The most important and beautiful part of my world. My day ending only when I wished you sweetest dreams, My day beginning by bringing you coffee and kisses. And now, Now you are gone and I am forgotten.

Honest constructive conflict Instead of false flattering feel good lies, deceptions that seduce yet destroy. Better to fight truly And love deeply Than to live on a fake surface And be blown by the winds, to be dashed on the shoals.

I show my appreciation And my affection Even in the affliction Of your addiction Emotional contagion Virtual prostitution Struggling situation And love’s termination.

Even when you push them away The real ones will always stay.

You claim to be discrete Yet that is an admission That you cheat.

More than the shores of the Emerald Isle I miss the emerald eyes over that smile That melted my frozen heart And later ripped my soul apart; For our love survived not the trial.

If you seek for peace of mind, then embrace the daily grind. Sacrifice to your best self every day; This is the struggle, and the Way.
