Change of Heart

You came at a time when I was so lost,

a breakup of love with a horrible cost.

A damaged reflection of who I should be,

learning and yearning for a past I could flee.

You taught me of self-love and tranquility,

erasing much hate and that hostility.

Forgiveness and peace, were no where to be found,

'til the day I stopped looking once you came around.

The change in my heart that was growing each day,

brought light to this soul that was darkened and strayed.

I realized that my love has always been there,

through all those bad breakups, my heartbeat would blare.

Then you just kept going you didn’t stay long,

another love lost, yet another sad song.

At first I was angry and lost in my head,

you found a new love and you left me for dead.

I had a good cry as I pounded the floor,

kneeling and reeling I stared at the door.

I filed the memories so now can move on,

the darkness replaced by the dim light of dawn.

I'm happier now, as I look I can see

my heart has grown stronger and now I'm set free.

I look to the sunrise and crave a new start,

awaiting, debating, my next change of heart.

When Two Worlds Collide

When two worlds collide sometimes there's a spark,

sometimes it’s a tremble that rattles ones heart.

The shockwaves that reach to the depths of your mind,

bring questions that linger from some unseen bind.

Which way should you go, does  it even really seem real?

No time in your life for a heart that must heal.

Excuses and reasons may flood from your mouth,

for love that you long for but must do without.

Is it to soon or might it be just lust,

is this new person someone you can trust.

So many emotions once  locked deep inside,

will rise to the surface, when two worlds collide.

Hooked

 

I wait for you like the stars wait for the sun to leave the sky, so they can be seen.

I'm always there but never aware, does anyone notice, or would they even care.

I'm powerless when you come around my heart jumps up, my eyes fall down.

I'm Hooked.

I wait for you with baited breath, I draw you in, this dance with death.

A poison to me slowly kills my being, I know your bad and it makes me sad,

It makes me weak and draws me closer, to intoxicating to resist, the temptation of that deadly kiss.

Hooked.

When I first found you I was down, you lifted me up so I kept you around.

My very first high, you took me to flight, you stayed with me and I slept through the night. Hooked.

In my teen years you became a part of me, always around, your hand you would lend, always right there when I needed a friend.

I would sneak out at night, my parents, I'd fight. To be by your side I would claw and I'd bite.

Hooked.

I went off to college, I left you behind, my body would shake as you invaded my mind.

Hooked.

You’re now a disease, so filthy, I'm scared. A plague to my life and that leaves me impaired.

I leave you again, realize your no friend, you haunt me and stalk me, will this ever end.

Hooked.

I finally got married with kids of my own, you still show your face, you’re a dog, I'm your bone.

Your chewing me up, I get smaller each day. I'm weaker, I'm meeker as I wither away.

Hooked.

Now I'm divorced, you have caused me such pain, I can not escape you, you drench me like rain.

HOOKED.

Your name is addiction, a blasted affliction , kicked me out of my mind like a deadly eviction.

You are killing me now, I've one foot in the grave, I've done this myself, now myself I must save.

Hooked.

My body is frail now, so trembled and shook, I must win this fight,

NOW I must get unhooked.
