solitary solace

THE DAY YOU WENT AWAY

The sun sets never shone
Darkness filled the day
People walk even run
I stand still, so still

Silence was loud
Screams were mute
Colors disappeared
Gray was overdue

I sleep but still awake
When awake I dream
Dreams were alive
Reality was a dream

My eyes were dry
Tears overflow
My heart was numb
Loneliness and pain ruled

My mind can’t think
Your memories linger
I am strong
Too strong to be weak

You lifted me up
But pushed me down
You were with me
But now so far

You made me whole
But broken me much more
You let me live
But soon gave me death

WHAT WE HATE ABOUT LOVE

Love is fair
But unreasonable
It is natural
But so ironic

Love is bliss
But full of sadness
It is heart warming
But heart breaking

Love conquers all
But can be conquered
It binds two hearts
But may leave them apart

Love is exciting
But sometimes uninspiring
It makes you sane
But you go crazy

Love is patient and kind
But uncontrollable and cruel
It brings respect
But may also reject

Love is beautiful
But sometimes nasty
It is meant to be forever
But may be a fling

Love is love
But we hate whom we love
It is hate
But we love whom we hate
