Mindgardens Poetry

Hidden behind these eyes is a pain That no one will ever truly understand Shamefully, I veil them beneath my mirth And carry on as though all things are grand Misfortunate events and bad choices Are all that I have to bring to this table For the greatest of things was there already Slip, slip, slipping further... I'm unstable Hiding my pain has become the norm How could I possibly explain the truth I've tried but all I hear is myself My selfish behavior has become uncouth Wallowing in pity, mourning a loss Blinded I've been to the love before me Callous even.... thoughtless.... hurtful.... Numbed just a little.... by the shocking irony This could get interesting.... Who knows.... Written June 17, 2007

The love I once felt is changed forever Destroyed by words of anger and pain Like fire and ice, we were passion's polarity Calmed into a lull by the night's gentle rain Bittersweet are my memories of you Leaving scattered footprints in my mind Our time together was beyond compare Yet somehow... it was angry words we left behind How did we get here, you and I? At what point did we cross the line? Coming together was inevitable for us Why couldn't we stop the crash in time? Despite everything, you'll not be forgotten I miss your smile, your voice, your sensual touch I miss gazing longingly into your gentle eyes Perhaps it matters not but I'll miss you so much
