Regrets are made
When yes prevails
Where no
Holds all the aces

Stop your crying
If you cannot
Handle my anger
You should not
Evoke me

Mystifying messages
Does not make you
Enigmatic
Just annoyingly secretive

Since you
Have yet to show me
Tell me true
You know my heart
But who am I
To you?

Once you expect
To be thanked
It stops
Being friendly

Thoughts in word
Snapshots of self
Before chance and opportunity
Made me
Who I am today
A different life
A million dreams away

Intent alone
Can't save us

Life is simpler
Once you've learned
To take it easy
And not to make something
A priority
Unless it might turn
Emergency

Secret hearts
Suffer in silence

At trying times
Push through sorrow
Beyond darkness
Seek the light
Find the heart
Where love still shines

Fate
Blind the world
So they might
Listen to their hearts
To find the truth
Slumbering within

I can't turn back time
Nor offer more
Than my apologies
But if I must
I can live
Without forgiveness

Look around
Consider
If the life you seek lies
With the company you keep

Be lovable
For unlike attention
Affection
Knows no negative

It's too early to tell
The morning after
Regrets might still surface
Come clarity

I know
You only mean
To hold on
But your hooks
Are tearing us apart
You’re not going my way
Leaving us both
Hurt and torn
As our distance
Grows
You are losing me
Just the same

Mother nature
Although nothing she creates
Ever lasts
Is still by far
My favorite painter

Find me
In what silent whispers
Remain
Once I've stepped beyond
The happy recollections
Hiding amidst
A million random thoughts
Subtly
Entrusted to your memory

Waiting for miracles
Rarely ever works
Prayers, hopes, and wishes
Are the road to disillusion
Instead
Make achieving your goals
Through hard, honest work
Your 2020 vision
