Poem Of The Week #37

Here's another poem for y'all...before I set this one out there, I'd just like to state that while I post a lot of emotional/mental stuff that I have written under the influence of things like feelings or emotions or what have you, it doesn't mean that all the poems I write are how I feel. Hell, sometimes I don't even know what I wrote or what it means. So I'm going to leave my feelings behind this one as ambiguous. Enjoy!

I know it seems like I’m being hard on you
But that isn’t what I’m trying to do
Sometimes we all need a kick
In order to motivate us to do what we have to
God I’m sorry if I ever hurt you
We were both a little confused
Maybe I acted somewhat like a dick
We both kept our secrets, we weren’t true
Tidbits of truths kept us far apart
We both ripped out each other’s heart
We trusted each other too deeply
So it was inevitable we’d both be hurt.
Keeping to ourselves wasn’t smart
We thought the other was something they weren’t
That assumption was too deadly
So now we both have to deal with this burden
Our secrets tore out each other’s inside
Because we both had so much to hide
If only we could be true to the one we loved
Because of it, our loved died.
I never paid much attention to your cries
My problems had me too preoccupied
I pushed you and you shoved
Till the point we said our goodbyes
You’re the one that wanted to be my friend
It’s a shame I never listened…

Poem Of The Week #36

Missed a week...ah well. Here's a poem:

2 AM on a Friday
You’re calling me again
To tell me that you’re sorry
I told you I’m not your friend
Anymore
The way that you stabbed me
Drew out all my air
I’m lucky that I’m standing
And I’m not standing for this anymore,
So get out of here.
Sobbing on the phone I hear your plea
You’re drunk again drowning your sorrows
Don’t look to me for sympathy
I can’t give you any, I know what follows
My heart is a tattered dwelling
And there is no room for you
I’m not buying what you’re selling
I hate what you’re putting me through
So just lose yourself in a bottle
Or lose my number I don’t care
I won’t be here for you and your trouble
Just like you were never there.

Anthony C, "Caught Up On Memories"

Poem Of The Week #35

Finally we can get back into it. Here we go, a new poem for everybody!

I see you standing at the door
That same one I dreamt for hours before
And although we see each other and greet
You never come in, and I stay in my seat
We’ll have to get past this wall
Or else this dream is going to fall
I can no longer convey
These words I want to say
And though I can feel your breath on my lips
I know you’re a thousand miles away
Away from me.
Sense is no longer an issue
When it comes to thoughts of you
Desire is the only course of action
I’m not strong enough to consider reason
Though so many things stand in our way
I still have the urge to convey
These words that I want to say
And though my hands rest on your hips
I know I’m a thousand miles away
Away from you.
I can’t ask you what to do
I’m not even sure if what I want is you
But whenever you’re around
I just can’t bring myself to feeling down
You possess a certain charm
That I can’t help but feel warm
When we give in and together we lay
I still can’t believe that we can’t convey
These words that we want to say
And though we are inches from a kiss
We know we’re a thousand miles away
Away from us.

Anthony C, "So Close, Yet So Far Away"

About Bloody Time

So, the new computer is finally up and running, after 6 weeks or so, and it's time for some poetry. I'll post something soon, I just need some time to write more poems, since all the old ones I had on my other computer are now gone forever. Here's to new poetry.
