In no way do I claim to be a poet. Art was always just a way to bring my insides out, and my poems are nothing more but pieces of me. My inner artist that aches for a response asks that I share this blog with people, but my nature of a perfectionist demands that I don't. If you stumble upon this, I appreciate constructive criticism. Remember, though: perhaps you can't see beyond ruins to the building that once was, so you can comment on its architecture. Perhaps, you take a look inside. This is a communion, after all.

It's just me.

When it's me,
there's nothing wrong with pain.
You bet your heart,
and count me in the game.
It's my loss,
it's my cross to bare.
Not much left there,
but ruins of dreams
never to come real.
I touch to kill,
when I only mean to heal.

When it's me,
there's nothing wrong with shame.
in this happening,
you claim no one's to blame.
The cost I pay,
for all that's lost,
I pray,
that it's high enough.
For I walk away,
and I know that I should stay.

When it's me,
there's nothing wrong with fear.
We're blindfolded,
and we walk alone here.
We bleed out,
we reach out,
but we can't touch.
There's no way out of this.

I'll make you pay for all that's broken,
and I must bare with it.
Give me your hope,
and I'll crush you with it.

You'll make me pay for all that's whole, and never gone.
