Bad day...but more poetry stuff.

Ugh. It just sucked. Between abusive customers, a longish shift with no breaks, it being Thursday and me being busy and tired, and me tripping over a tree root... I did not like today. Anyway here's some more stuff I wrote. Not today, I wrote it a while ago. I'm just posting it now.


Bruised Knees and Broken Hearts.

Sitting on the roof above the world
Wishing I was still a little girl
A blanket in my hand and a song in my heart
Just want to be untouchable under the stars
Do you remember the days running so fast
You thought you could fly?
When you'd feel safe to fall asleep
Under the midnight sky?

Being found by a dream is the easy part
Then come the Bruised Knees and Broken Hearts
You pick up the pieces to find yourself back at the start
And life goes on even when you want to fall apart.

I know you feel like you can never win with me
And that's probably true
But it doesn't mean that I don't want you here
You should know by now that I do
So you climbed a million stairs
To find you're only half way
I know it's not so easy
To wrap your arms around me some days

Don't give up
Love comes around.


August Again.

August Again
The storm came and went
I never imagined things
Could be so different

The ice has melted
Now even when it snows
I'm doing so much better
I don't feel so cold

I've come a long way
From your heartache and pain
All the things I'll never know
A romance destined to fail

I will only pray that
The fire that burned our hearts
Can finally bring us life again
And turn our sins to dust

Though we're barely friends
I'm where I belong
The chains are gone
And the past is nothing anymore

Today we have all we need
Both on our own feet
With only a diamond from the ashes
To remind us of days to the wind.
