Tsunami Envy

Angry at the great tragedy
Or lack thereof, perhaps
Events that make our lives significant
Wanting for something to fill the void
Where drama once stood
Normalcy, boredom persists now
As Americans
We envy those in the spotlight
Secretly wishing a tragedy
A disaster to make our lives meaningful
So we wait in eager anticipation
For next September

It's been a while since I last posted a poem here.  It's been a while since anyone's posted a poem here.  Here's another one of mine.  It has no title.

Nothing but heartbreak around every turn.
Every relationship ends before they begin.
How I feel so empty deep inside
Ever since we parted ways.

Is it possible to turn back the clock
And relive the terrible moments
Of our past transgressions and mistakes,
Those regretful choice we both made?

We could have forgiven each other
If we gave forgiveness a second chance,
Instead of throwing away years of joy.
We could have held on to our love.

I saw you yesterday afternoon,
Strolling at the mall, in another's arms.
You looked unhappy, dissatisfied,
Your gorgeous smile swept away.

You weren't laughing, nor having fun,
Or it didn't look like it to me.
Oh, how I wish it was me holding you,
I still think I can make you smile.

I was tempted to approach you
And apologize for the things I did,
But I couldn't, I was too afraid,
I was never afraid of you before.

I watched you leave by yourself
After screaming at the one who held you,
So much anger in your voice,
Were you having the same trouble as I?

I didn't follow you, I was still trembling,
Because of the fear that paralyzed me.
I should have chased after you
And begged you to take me back.

Now, I am alone with nobody to love me.
No one's sharing their life with me.
I am alone.  No one will be around.
This is the price I pay for being afraid.

Full Circle

You used to make all my dreams come true, but our last call left me black and blue.

You took me to my highest heights, you pulled me to my lowest low
and you ain't got one ounce of remorse or sorrow.
Keep raking up memories so true for me and all games to you,
telling me daily I love you, I love you...

Now you love another and you knew it for all time,
she might be your new queen but she'll never know your rhyme.
You had it all, you lost even more,
You'll never know love like this again, that's for sure.

Why you did this, only you will know,
cause you can't bring me the truth today or even tomorrow.
I don't love what I got,  its already gone, but was it ever there?
You just leave me alone in despair, yet always saying pain is what you'd spare...

You did a good number on my heart and you always could, right from the start.

This one means a lot to me right now. Really does.

Andy (Cap'n Andy to some of you )

Bruised and beat, my what a treat,
got me spinning and swirling, my stomach still churning,

I can’t take it no more, all the pain; my heart’s so sore.
I gotta get out of this place, I gotta leave now, gotta save face.

We went from A to B then ended at Z, why can’t you heal me, set me free?
I wish you’d explain, some closure, some thought
For me, for old times, cause you loved me, or not?

My world ended that day and I wish I could go back.
Why can’t we go back?

Soulless, alone,
my mate has now flown.
