Writing From This Heart

Writing from This Heart:

My heart is always on my sleeve. May the words from my heart touch your soul and shine a light to help you out of your own darkness, just as experiencing and feeling them have done for me.

Tuesday, Two Days in a Mirror.

Yes. I gave you many chances. Yes, I took many challenges. The only reason, I’ve ever been able to press on is that always hoped, I always believed, I always held out that it would all be ok. That life would FINALLY hear my whimpers in the night. That those I loved and that those…

Monday, Today.

While the future is uncertain, while this whole life spins away from any place of self-control. Consistent this refrain is a passive story, one that has been unfolding from a time not yet known. A moment when it was not revealed, and it did know how to gather one’s soul. A love everlasting, a love…

Your Love

Thank you for your love.Your love made me face,all my darkest fears. Your love always took me,to places I’ve never been. Your love took me higher and higher.Your love, when I saw it,made me want to be a better man. Your love gave me a strength,to carry on,your love gave me life,you once took away.…

Reflection

There are two sides,between you and I,once you gave me life,once you walked through. In my most difficult moments,my darkest times,you held me, you held my hand. With your strength,I lost and found my way You pushed me to be,the strongest man I could be,yet you bent me towards the point of breaking,over and over…

Tomorrow

Tomorrow will be a new day. Our understanding will be loving. To see each other like never before. When the two of us,walk together as one,unified in the belief,unified in each other’s heart. Equals we are,equals we will be,the doors are open,together we will be. As I looked everywhere,from sea to sea,what I thought I…

Hope Stings Eternal

I had hoped at some point in our lives together we would have figured a way to find common ground and communication. Unfortunately, we two are far too close to have noticed the scars we have, and the beliefs we hold, set us on a path that for a moment in time allowed us peace,…

Out Loud, Out Proud, Out Today.

One this day,it is hard to say,it is hard to put into words,the way I feel,the experiences I have had,the life I led. Eighteen years have passed.Since that day. Since I realized my truth. Since I declared to myself. Since I revealed to myself to my friends. Since I confidently said to my family. This…

Will it be?

It took me forever.To see the truth,To see the mistakes,To hear the wind. We sacrificed each other,to make each whole.We had to walk this way.We had to scream.We had to shout. What I see in me,is what I see in you.We could not let go.We could not sacrifice. We left the place where our true…

To Live, To Die, To Exist.

Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. “Damnit. Is that my alarm?” I think as, Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. “Where am I?” I slowly open one eye…. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. The pain in my head hits as soon as the light reminds me… Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. “Oh fuck.”…
