Denial

By
It's not that I love you,
It's not that I care;
It's just that I miss
every single thing
when you're not standing there.

It's not that I need you
(I'm not as empty as I feel).
The clouds in my eyes
are only clear
if you've waded in them before.

I'm not gonna love you forever,
I'm not gonna wish on a star
that you'll be mine again.
No, that would be childish
and you stole all my innocence
when you left.
So I'll just deny that
there's any heartache
for me to forget.

Some days I am haunted
by a memory or two.
I barely feel my
broken heart if the
distraction's good.

So, "carpe diem" but
I don't seize much these days
why is karma
so cavalier about
the wounds that it makes?


I'm not gonna love you forever,
I'm not gonna wish on a star
that you'll be mine again.
No, that would be childish
and you stole all my innocence
when you left.
So I'll just deny that
there's any heartache
for me to forget.

Flightless birds avoid their call Ostriching heads in the sand.  Thanks, Trifecta for the prompt, which requested an animal name be used as a verb. I figured I might as well ignore the dictionary and make my own...flightless birds have always intrigued me, anyhow.

meaningless

i look back on this year and i see a big waste of 365 days. what did i do with all this time? what do i have to show? a whole lot of nothing, my pockets emptier than before my heart more broken than before. i have less today to hold close than i had a mere 30 days ago my father doesn't breathe this air anymore dead dead dead and it hurts to think that i spent all those years building nothing and i hurts to think that i ran away from home in a sense that i wasted three years with a guy who didn't give a shit about the family who cares more for me than we ever let on. is there something wrong with me that keeps me from shouting out how much i love these people? i don't know why it's so difficult to speak so difficult to express how much i cherish our moments how little i make of the little time we have together is it a mistake to let things just be should i strive for more purpose or just bask in the joy that is togetherness? why do i always need to m...
