Abrupt

Abrupt.
Ignored warnings.
From dusk 'til dawn.
With games of trivia played,
Daily...
Going on.
With shoes once worn,
On another's feet...
Now fit with a tightness.
So tight that they squeeze.

It would be a relief,
Just to take them off.
But no opportunity comes...
And the expense of it,
Has it cost!
The pain now felt...
Is not someone else's loss.
The pain now felt...
Is personal.
And in private acknowledgement...
One can not sleep.
One at night...
Sweats in regret.
With a turning in a mind that's tossed!

Abrupt!
Without solutions to soothe!

Her Own Shoes

She spoke in a tongue
left over from yesterday
her memories
slowly fading.

Shouting to be heard
if by chance
someone would hear her.

Her tears
left in silence
by a heart
abandoned by life.

Her shoes
barely covered her feet
so aged a brittle cloth.

She laughed at herself
her mind felt with bareness
fell out into the street
as rain fell against
her pain.

No-one near
to cradle her fears
she spoke to herself.

A bus ride
her excursion
to the world
brought more pain.

So she laughed to herself.

Her mind worn out
just like her shoes
in waiting solemn moments
she still felt human.

But the world
no longer reading
her uniqueness
she found an empty bench

The birds
did not judge
her physical obscenity
they came freely
If only to take bread
from her hand.

Everything was worn
her stained dress
her opened shoes
her need for sanity.

All put together
by a world
who had forgotten
she too was only human.

So she laughed
out loud
to all those
whom she remembered
did once care.

Because she knew
one day
they too
would become
a worn out pair of shoes
craving
to be new.

The Gout in My Toe

Uric acid running down my leg
coming to rest in my right feets toe
alleviate this pain, to God I beg
for it's creeping inside, so very slow

I twist and turn
but can't get to sleep
my veins start to burn
within my surrowful feet

My foot has swollen
to almost twice its size
there is no warning
just an abrupt surprise

I elevate my leg
to ease the pain
but it retracts to my hip
leaving me the same

My mind has gone numb
every step is in agony
I realize I have lost this battle
for it's driving me into insanity.

I Have Felt The Rain

I have felt the pain
Of people
I have felt the pain
Of getting hurt
Trust me I know
I have felt the pain
You know the kinda that's always there
When you least want it
I have felt a pain
That I can not even explain
I'm laughing
But cant you tell
I'm crying
The one I want to talk to
Is you
But your never
In the rain with me
The rain
Is my comfort
I can cry
And run all I want
There will always be rain
And there will always be pain to follow

Pain (lyrics)

Regret sits heavy in your chest until sometimes it gets so hard to breathe
Sometimes it just wont go away and you start to feel you will never be
And when you think back on those times it seems so close just beyond your reach
Until past vanishes like smoke from a cigarette in the night breeze

Please stop this pain
Hurt for so long
Pain
Hurt for so long
I've felt this way for so long

How is it that things turn out this way?
What you hold most dear has come and gone
Seems the time that everything was right
Now it just feels wrong, oh so wrong
And your still dreaming of the time
When the day will come, it was meant to be
And your still dreaming of the way
To reach that place that you've never been

Please stop this pain
Hurt for so long
Pain
Hurt for so long
I've felt this way for so long

Pain
Hurt for so long
Pain
Hurt for so long
Pain
Hurt for so long
Pain
Hurt for so long
I've felt this way for so long

Pain!

? You say that you have felt pain?
You have no idea what pain is.
Pain is hearing, 'She doesn't
like you anymore.' WHAT?
How can so much pain be caused by
someone who is so small,
so young,
so far?
Yet I tell you, I have felt pain,
pain at hearing your name
mentioned by some ignorant
person, someone who doesn't
know what you have put me
through. Pain? Yes, that is pain.
Pain is knowing that you will
never be mine, though I once would have been
wholly yours. Yours, though
you may never know it. That
also is pain- not being able to
say what I want you to hear.
This and more have you put me
through. This, and also the
torture of hearing from your
own lips- lips that I have longed
for, lips that I have loved in
my own way- that you liked
another guy.? No, I will not
call him a man, for he is not,
or else cannot be, for he loves
you. What? Now you wish to
leave him? And for me, again?
No, I am sorry, love, I cannot
and will not endure your
tortured love again. I have
felt the pain once, and I no
longer have any desire to feel
your pain again. Enjoy it, love.
Pain. Embrace it, rather than me,
for me you will not have, and now
pain is all you have?

If You Also Agree to Choose to Lose

When something is 'over'...
Do not let it linger in wishes.
When it has been announced,
'It's done! '
Be the one to recognize it.
If you don't...
That back and forth bait entrapment,
Will be tossed to be played...
At your expense over and over again.
With a heightened degree of disrespect,
To be regretted.
When something is 'over'...
Let it go and do not wallow away in sorrow,
And pretense your pain is being numbed by faith!
Do whatever it takes,
To make your heart heal faster.
And do not fool yourself...
When something is 'over',
It is not!
Until it is out of touch,
Sight and mind!
It's the mind these times want to play games with!
You can choose to play.
'IF' you also agree to choose to lose!

Bodhisattva Nightmare

i felt the bullet
as your body fell,
the sickening gasp of light

lost in the void...
i felt the empty
of your stomach turning,

as you staggered weakly
down that long dusty road.
i felt the bone crushing pain

as he struck your face,
again and again....
i felt the sickness

of the stench of the alley...
i felt the fear and despair of the cell,
the not knowing when

it was going to come...
i felt the hatred and fear
they tormented you with,

for who you loved,
and the way you lived....
i felt the hopelessness

of the hard ass streets,
the gun in your pocket...
the monkey on your back....

i felt.... and still feel!

Maa, I can't sleep

Maa, I can't sleep.
A pain crawls up my spine, the loneliness shouts aloud
And the abrupt commotions in my head
Keep me from closing my eyes,
Keep me from peace

Maa, I can't sleep,
The bulb on the wall flickers,
I turn it off and it's too dark around,
Fear rides my nerves
And I am awake all night,
Remembering my deeds and my sins.

Maa I can't sleep,
The dark lids of my eyes
Have imprinted her face; she smiles
And reminds me of the good old times.
But I broke her twice, all the way down;
And so I can't sleep.

Maa, for my lost love and her broken heart
I can't sleep.

Joy & Pain

Heaven aint your place girl , not now anyways
And in this hell yeah yeah , you cant erase
All of the pain , that youve been given
That aint the reason yeah , that youve been driven
Watch the hand as its movin ,
24 times around
Every seconds like a minute ,
Till youre back on the ground
Ive felt joy and Ive felt pain (girl Im sorry)
Ive felt joy and Ive felt pain (girl Im sorry)
Ive felt joy and Ive felt pain (girl Im sorry)
But I know Im gonna see you again
Girl we had our chances , we knew from the start
That we could take heaven yeah and tear it apart tear it apart
You gotta take a chance girl , you gotta lead me by the hand
And turn this wild one , into a family man..come on
Many miles been between us since I walked away
Girl Im sorry what I did to you , this time Im here to stay
Ive felt joy and Ive felt pain (girl Im sorry)
Ive felt joy and Ive felt pain (girl Im sorry)
Ive felt joy and Ive felt pain (girl Im sorry)
But I know baby Im gonna see you again
But I know yeah
Ive felt pain Ive felt joy yeah
Heaven aint your place girl , not now anyways
And in this hell yeah yeah , you cant erase
All of the pain , that youve been given
That aint the reason yeah , that youve been driven
Watch the hand as its movin ,
24 times around
Every seconds like a minute ,
Till youre back on the ground
Ive felt joy and Ive felt pain (and the girls say)
Ive felt joy and Ive felt pain (and the girls say)
Ive felt joy and Ive felt pain (girl Im sorry)
Ive felt joy and Ive felt pain (girl Im sorry [x3])
But I know Im gonna see you again

Pain Feeling Gone

pain pain pain is all i felt,
scard and frightened,

pain was all around me from everything that had hapened,
what shouldnt have happened,

everynight a tear would trickle down my cheek,
and i could not seek,

for what i felt nobody else would know,
that i wish i could just go..

it was'nt fair,
that nobody would care,

the note was written and then,
finally it had ended and all the pain was gone...

You Are The Pain (part 2)

You Are The Pain and
You Are The Joy (part 2)

You are the Pain and the joy,
on the stage of life.

You are the pain, when your are distant
from me and you are the joy in my
memories of you.

You are the pain, when your touch, I
can not feel and you are the joy,
as I hold you near.

You are the pain, when tears you
have caused, and you are the joy, for the
laughter in my life.

You are the pain, when indifference enters
our life and you are the joy, when you
place me before others.

You are the pain, when you busy life, has
little time for me and you are the joy,
when there is just us.

You are the pain, as you seek that which
glitters in life and you are the joy,
as you are immersed, in the makings of God.

You are the pain, when angered and abrupt
and you are the joy when seeking
to make amends.

You are the pain, when anger is your
roadblock to reason and you are the
joy, when you step back and seek
a solution.

You are the pain, in you compulsives and singleness
of purpose, to be successful...and you are
a joy, when you blanket those you
care for, with love.

You are the pain, when impatience leads you down
an uncertain path and you are the joy, as you
carefully plot a pragmatic course.

You are the pain, when you listen...but
do not hear and you the joy, when
patient and understanding.

You are the pain, when other matters,
substitute our love, and you are the joy,
when we are fused together as one.

You the a pain, in our spirited
disagreements, and you are
the joy, as you say, I love you.

The lesson we know well, that in
this life, there is no joy, unless
there is pain.

What A Difference A Day Makes

What a difference a day makes.
Now I can see.
That you and I,
Were never meant to be.

You voice all my faults.
Justify your own.
You don't cut me any slack.
Or throw me a bone.

Your pain justified,
Mine's but as lie.
You're as white as a lamb.
So I'll say goodbye.

Goodbye to your hatred.
Your vengeance and pride.
You hit me with all,
The pain you kept inside.

You told me you feared me.
Well I felt the same.
When I wanted solutions,
You wanted a game.

But I will not play,
Your cruel games anymore.
I wish that I never,
Played them before.

I share with you wisdom,
That enriches my soul.
You tell me my defects
It's taken it's toll.

“I owe you.”, you say.
So pay me my fee.
Give me all that I want,
And just let me be.

The once kiss of love,
Now kiss of death.
Taking all that I have,
And too my last breath.

I have so much to offer.
But not enough for you.
So I'll give my heart.
To one that knows it is true.
