Spirit Guide though I can not see you with my eyes

I know you are the only reason I am still alive

Spirit Guide protecting me when in the lions den

Where I can not hide,wiping the tears away when I

Cry, spirit Guide though I can not see you with my

Eyes,I know you are always by my side...

Spirit Guide hear the prayer I pray today

With every step I take please show me the way

Be near,calm my fears when I am feeling lost

And afraid, forever, forever and always

Spirit Guide hear the prayer I pray today...

Spirit Guide take my hand and lead me back to

The ancient place I come from,help me to understand

My connection better to the great one,is it through

The eyes of the eagle,the bear or the wild cat

Give me the strength I need to leave the past behind

And find peace of mind,no looking back,no more

Looking back...

Spirit Guide hear the prayer I pray today

With every step I take please show me the way

Be near,calm my fears when I'm feeling lost

And afraid,forever,forever and always

Spirit Guide hear the prayer I pray,hear the prayer

I pray today!

I can’t let it be in another life it has to be this one 

I’ve fought so long and hard for you that I’ve been broken down to pieces 

I will always fight for us to be made whole together 

There’s no lifetime id rather be in than this one with you 

So stay with me 

I feel like I am an imaginary friend.
Just want to ask, is this the end?
I have people who’ll hold my hand,
Pray for me, hope for me—with me they stand.

I have love all around me,
Reminding me I’m never alone.
But what I want and need
Is almost gone.

I still feel like I am an imaginary friend.
Will this feeling ever end?

Posting it again as I was expecting some comments! 😅

Well and something seems to be missing here in my cottage at the bottom of the Blue ridge mountains and a crystal clear blue stream, when the night falls My lonely heart calls but now I can only see your face in my dreams...

In my cottage of candle lit windows, firelight casting off the silhouette of dark shadows, in my cottage I am up for hours and hours on end reminiscing when, just sitting here drowning in my tears, creating my own false fears in my cottage, in my cottage I haven't left in years...

Well maybe I am just like some old hermit not quite in touch with reality, a broken hearted fool gone crazy, they say we always hurt the ones we love the most but how do you reason with a ghost, oh and when the night falls My lonely heart calls staring at your picture on the wall....

In my cottage of candlelit windows, firelight casting off the silhouette of dark shadows, haunted by the memory of you spending hours and hours on end sad and confused, just sitting here and listening to the knock of a cold winter's wind trying to come in, in my cottage lost in a dream, drowning in my tears creating my own false fears, in my cottage, in my cottage I haven't left in years...

Just an old hermit and a cottage by a river and a valley below just an old hermit and a cottage with candle lit windows.

If I could see
the flowers blossom on a sakura tree
How would they appear to me?

My books all say it’s pink in hue
but what if they were really blue

Nonetheless, until my eyes see
how the flowers bloom on a sakura tree

I shall wonder with glee
How would they appear to me?

Perennials blooming in mid-April,
yet they’ve been here all winter.
Awakened by spring's morning dew,
shocked back to life.
Kind of like me, in a way,
the moment I met you.

Rested through a deep slumber,
broken in two since birth.
You were an idea even then,
just not yet flowered.
Budding, maybe.

Years later, I was two.
You arrived completely unburdened.
You would carry weight later,
but then, you were unstained.
I like you better worn.
Sometimes I think of you then.
Me then.
Imagine if we met at that time—
maybe we wouldn't be so jaded.

We are what we are:
planets birthed in the blink of an eye,
inhabited by strangers who take us for granted,
dirtying our streets with garbage.
Yet, I have learned to be thankful for it—
the trash-filled streets and the sweeps who pick it up.
Is that why inmates pick up trash?

Then we ignited.
I was the matchbook, you the match.
Ablaze we set,
looking at pieces of art,
never checking our watches for time.

You already had a child.
I did too.
That is how fields come to life:
different flowers,
of different colors and shapes.

Its times like this i hate how much i love you. I hate how even when you hurt me i still yearn for you. How do you still break my heart so carelessly when you know i wear it proudly on my sleeve.

I wish you loved me as much as i love you.

You say you do.

But who knows if thats even true.

I want to believe you. You sound so honest and so true. But thats what i thought last time too.

So how am i supposed to believe you now? Should i be naive, like Eve and eat the fruit you offer?

Im scared to trust the sweetness of your words when ive learnt how bitter they can become.

What if i believe every promise just to end up here again.

In my bed

Alone.

Writing a poem about how i hate how much i love you.

Unlike you my heart is full.

Full of love for you.

You promised to cherish it and keep it safe and full.

Instead you broke it, battered and shattered it.

Again and again.

I dont know how many more times i can piece it back together again.

You knew how much this would hurt me, but instead you hoped and prayed id never find out, never know.

But

I always know.

I always find out.

You know that too.

I know you do.

You get to apologise, while i have to pick myself back up after the choices you made.

Do you know what your choices have done to me?

You say you do but how do i know thats true?

Ive never cheated.

Never lied to ur face.

Ive been open and honest. Treated you how i wanted to be treated.

But clearly that had no effect.

Because you still cheated.

You still lied to my face.

I hate the person i become when i begin to doubt you again, im mean, im jealous.

Im a monster.

But you and i both know that monster wasnt born like that.

It was made.

And we both know by whom.

I miss the girl who loved you without fear.

I dont want to keep guarding my sleeve.

I want to love you freely again.

Walking at night. Alone.

Checking over my shoulder to see if im being followed or watched.

I dont feel secure.

Thats how i feel now. Insecure and scared.

I want to feel happy and bubbly like the girl i used to be.

I couldnt piece me back together the same as i was before.

Some peices were lost.

Some were smashed.

I rebuilt myself for us, but i had to use things i never wanted to become.

I dont need another apology, more promises or empty words.

I need you to love me.

Just as much as i love you.

Then i can be me again and the monster can die.

Maybe then i wont hate how much i love you anymore.

Lyra in the summer midnight sky,heart on fire

Black Forest tigers eye,behind flames of desire...

I can still hear your voice in the wind on nights like

These but I could use a stronger spell so you will never

Forget about me, come back to me don't believe the

Lies they tell,we have a history and many more lives

Together still to come,the cards tell me Everytime you

Are the one,you are the one and only one...

So where have you gone to dwell these days,I can't find

You in my crystal ball,what happened to us,I don't know

But I could of sworn we had it all,I know we had it all

Til they turned your mind inside out,what the hell is that

About and now the summer is turning into fall...

Maybe you could catch a silent signal when I think

About you, sometimes you just gotta break the rules

Maybe you could find me and my shadow by candlelight

Tonight,I wish I may have this wish I wish tonight ...

We have a history and many more lives together still

TO come and the cards have always said you are the

One,you are the one...

Lyra in the summer night sky,heart on fire,black forest

Tigers Eye through burning flames of desire....

As the sorcerer sends a message on the wind,then it's

Not a question of if,only a matter of when!

to be loved
is to be known
when it is hard to know yourself,
to be embraced and forgiven
when you fail to forgive yourself.

to be loved
is when they play with your hair,
make your lunch,
listen to your shitty joke
and laugh - focussed solely on you.

to be loved
is when they cry after you cry
they smile after you smile
and they leave only after you are gone
because what were they there for but you?

to be loved, is to know that the only greater thing than to love, is to be loved.

I NEED OPINIONS : When the world feels heavy and hope begins to slip and feel small
I’ll still be there to catch your fall.
Beside you forever nd through it all

when the sun shines on ur face your eyes glisten ,they act like a distraction from this worlds dimness.
i get drawn into them like a whirlpool in the ocean yet i feel like a animal stuck in its exhibition

unable to be there for you is my greatest fear, i want to always be there and show i care ,despite hardships and arguments i’ll never leave ur side like a candle and its glowing light ,

It hurts to be away from you for even the shortest time, your beauty is equivalent to stars in the depths of night , hold my hand and take a stroll
until our sore legs can’t no more

my words become a stumble when your
near just like a foreigners first day here ,
no lock in existence is strong enough to hold us apart, ur like the key to my heart ❤️

i usually reminisce of the times i dearly miss, ur smile make my day i can’t seem to look away like a lion staring at its prey,

your perfect in every way

i’m so glad i get to call you mine your like a beam of sunshine in a world consumed by demise ,no word in existence could explain the way you make me feel ,the only way to describe it is overwhelmingly real

distance between us hurts like a thousand knifes if only you were here by my side

laying beside you is where i feel most alive ,no feeling comes close to the one it gives me everytime

when ur aroma fills the air i’ll always be the first one there

the thought of loosing you brings ache to my heart leaving me in a state where simple tasks feel hard

life doesn’t feel the same not knowing your okay,
i love you more than you could ever think i’ll never hurt you again like those times i did

my feelings are going numb and it’s getting worser by the day
maybe someday it’ll all be okay
i smoke to get away i know it’s not right but that’s the only way to ease the pain
im not proud and ive tried to stop ,no matter how hard i try i cant seem to say goodbye

im writing this poem to show we’re all human we all make mistakes just like every other living person

it’s 4 in the morning and i can’t get any sleep the thought of you in somone else’s arms keeps me awake

i hold many flaws but what’s love without them
what’s love without the messy parts if we can’t put it behind us

i want you to do what’s best for you if im not part of that plan ill still support you the whole way through

there’s been times where i didnt think we could go on . but the thought of a future without you whitch makes me rethink it all

a year and a half it’s been ,my heart still beats from deep within
this poem i wrote you may never see
one day i wish u see my guilty plee

I built a wall where silence grew,
Stone by stone from all I knew.
Every crack was sealed with pain,
Every brick a shield from rain.
No hand could reach, no voice could stay,
I learned to turn my heart away.
Behind those walls I learned to survive,
Not truly living, just staying alive.
Then you came with patient eyes,
Not believing in disguise.
You never climbed, you never fought,
You simply saw the soul I’d locked.
Little by little the mortar gave,
Not through force, but how you stayed.
You taught my guarded heart to beat,
Made fear and hope at last compete.
You showed me laughter after tears,
Quieted the echo of forgotten years.
For the first time I could feel
Something gentle, something real.
Then came the day the sky turned gray.
The one who healed walked away.
The hands that opened every door
Left me shattered on the floor.
Now the wall stands half undone,
Neither whole nor truly gone.
Too broken to hide behind,
Too open to escape my mind.
Still, I cannot curse your name,
Though loving you became my flame.
Because before you, I only knew
How to survive, not see life through.
You taught my heart that it could feel,
Even if the cost was real.
Sometimes love is not meant to stay,
But to change the one who lost their way.
So if these walls are built once more,
They’ll never be as they were before.
For hidden in each weathered stone
Lives proof I was not always alone.
And though you became the deepest scar,
You also showed me who we are:
Not the walls that we create,
But the hearts that dare, despite their fate.

I hope you don’t mind but I’d like to share with you a quick poem I came up with this morning

Dear Shirley (tumour)
I’m so glad I caught you early

You came in, in the dead of night
Two gloves on ready ready to fight

Oh Shirley I’m so glad I caught you early

I’ve got future grandbabies I want to love and meet
There’s still fancy restaurants in which I want to eat

Oh Shirley I’m so glad I caught you early

I want to feel the sun on my skin and the wind in my hair
I’m a wife and a mum but you don’t care

Oh Shirley I’m so glad I caught you early

I want to be on a ship that sails the oceans
Fuck you shirley I’m not just going through the motions

Oh Shirley I’m so glad I caught you early

Ive got Drs, nurses and oncologists on my side
I’ll be pumping my body full of poison there will be no place for you left to hide.

Oh Shirley I’m so glad I found you early

You better believe I’m ringing that bell
There so much of my story left to tell

Oh Shirley I’m so glad I found you early

Soon you’ll be a Facebook memory that pops up yearly

Oh Shirley I bet your glad you Fucked off early

Waves of childishness
Crashing down my throat
Eyes that water
My mind stays afloat

Tears that subside
With my fears
Of being less than a woman
But I'm more than a girl

I'm in the middle
I wish there was a term for her

Accept reality
Accept the agony
Move with grace
I hope no one sees it on my face

I'd prefer to scream
But no one will get what I mean
Be kind and polite
I'm putting up a fight

The girl in me kicks
The woman in me takes it
