Let’s do the Mash!

‘Not’ the monster mash!

Make up can be scary poetry is not!

Heartbreak:

I lost you , I know it’s true, by all the back and fourth we do.

That isn’t love, it’s sure not kind, I think I may have lost my mind.

I wanted this, I want it all, I tried so hard to break your walls.

I’m tired now, my hands are tied, you only now believe I lied.

there is no more,no going back from what I knew, from what I lack.

I wanted you to see me through, show me too that life’s anew

But you chose her and that’s a fact, and now you wish you could take that back, there’s so much more you’d need to be, I’d need to see, for us to be.

For all those thoughts within your head, of lies and schemes, you thought in Dread. They came out, only through you, my heart hangs heavy in mornings dew.

We meet in the middle:

The end my friend is where we bend, its where we crack, where we break, where the ends don’t quite make, amends.

It’s the point, of no returns, broken dreams and swollen hearts, ready to burst with the blood on your hands.

The space, the gap the hole in your soul, it weeps with sorrows, with pain, with angst, it’s a loss that takes years to get back.

Back to yourself, the person you are, the one that got lost from places afar.

Maybe a dreamland a vacation of sorts, but like a young life that gets cut short.

It’s a tragedy, it’s a hard life lesson, it’s a long winded, angry counselling session.

But what did we learn, what do we take, from words that tear down and mean nothing and break?

We get lonely and softened, left for the wolves, No one will save you so never indulge, be humble, be kind, don’t get left behind, steadfast, stay ahead of the line.

Myself in me:

When I come down, deflate

The truth inside will reinstate,

The master of my disguise will only hide the truth inside,

Begin again with me, then you hear and see

what it's like inside, the only place i run and hide

Never waste a moment, take it in, breathe deep, this is the last chance own it,

you don't get more times like these, no one rarely ever sees,

Your the one with a savoury core don't ask them they only take more.

Until you have nothing left, do yourself a favour and be your only gift

Give yourself to you, you know you'll see you through.

-T

Bravery:

Breathe it in, hold it tight

It’s only darkness before the light,

Don’t be afraid, I’ve been there before,

Take that step, just through that door

This is the part that’s a little tough

You have to believe you are enough

You have to know it in your heart

A masterpiece, a work of art

It’s the only way you’ll survive

Know that you too, will make it out alive

Out of your head, out of your mind

You say too often you’re just fine

I know that sentence, don’t give it a life,

It’s talk and banter full in strife

Don’t let that fool you it’s meant to distract

Because Even life knows you can’t get that back.

That’s the purpose, it seems insane

You only suffer if you live in vain

Take a breath, hold it tight.

It’s only darkness before the light.

Somewhere inside:

When you lean in close and hang on every word, you hear the shapes the curvature that is dying to be heard. You hear the space the spot between listening and talk, you realize that space between is kept on key and lock. It’s definitely no secret, it’s not left to be found out, But if you listen close enough you’ll know what it’s about. You’ll feel it, it’s real,like tingles on your skin! You own it, like none before, way deep down within.

And just when you’ve forgotten, you think you’ll never feel it again, There it is rushing back finding it’s way in.

This time you take it! Don’t ever let it free, what you’ll find deep down inside, looks something just like me.

-T

A true love story:

Still haunting my mind, still intertwined, those ghosts of our future are not far behind.

I reached for you there, you leaped for me too we know know it all happened, it happened too soon

Our vision of two amplified into words, scream action no talk that's all that I heard

Hands in your pockets from the corner of my ear I see you standing there and I am standing here.

-T

Internal nature:

I’m stricken, I’m stuck,

down on my luck,

the push the pull, I’m feeling full,

or maybe empty in my soul.

Why do we do this,

why are we here,

as they say look in the mirror,

there you’ll find it,

the answers you seek,

you have the choice,

no need to be bleak.

Hold your head high, maybe a smile. You walk the line, I’ll go the mile.

-T
