Devil May Cry

The full moon flickers,
a cold flame in the sky,
as clouds provide cover
while honest men die.
Others hide in the shadow,
unable to move
as violence unfolds
and each soul removed.
Flashes light up
in the dark morbid sky
and honest men are gone,
leaving evil men cry.

Walking was enough to cure
the heartache you caused
and this pain I endure.

Until walking was not enough
to clear my mind and heart
from your balked bluff.

Now I walk all on my own
with not even a shadow
of what was once known.

If I had walked away sooner
maybe there would be
some semblance left
of me.

Feed Me!

If it were up to me,
I would sleep from morn
to night
and I wouldn’t even wake
until there were no
more light.

I’d roll right out of bed
and saunter on over
to my dish
and wait so impatiently
as you prepare my
yummy fish.

But the world is not purrfect
and this fantasy just
cannot be
since in reality you are sleeping
when you should be
feeding me.

Nine Lives

If I had but nine lives,
just like you,
I’d love you still
in each one
and crave more time;
it’s true.

If I had but nine lives,
I’d use each one
to show you
each and every day,
my heart is yours;
you are my sun.

If I had but nine lives,
I’d wish for nine more
knowing that each life
I’d fall deeper
in love with you,
my heart never to be poor.

L8r

I found an old phone
just the other day
and browsed through the texts
between you and me.
Just a few years have passed,
but it feels a million more
since all the feelings I felt
have flown right out the door.

How odd that once it was
you were all to me
and now I think so seldom
on what we hoped to be.
We’ve grown apart for sure
and yet my heart won’t ache
for a love lost forever
leaving nothing in its wake.
