Whenever, poem by MwsR

Help to make my reminiscing all mine

It calms my soul for just a while in time

It displays out in my actions and on my face

Oh, how to make it out of this place!

Neither space nor time can give comfort to this heart of mine.

I have been prisoner here, for a very long time.

I have wrestled things I never thought I would

I guess often than not I really did not handle it the way I should.

But whenever a person deals with their pain

Things of this nature often remain

They will hold on and squeeze whenever they choose

Often, when that happens, they are in it for you to lose.

So, come along, take the ride

That others often find themselves beholding to

You will experience things that make you blue

Seizing what you can with the little you have

Making memories that are built to last.

Memories that comfort not repulse us.

Stuff like this can never be made up.

It is real and so invading

Clouding forever our state of peace

Whenever it comes, that is when we stop and release.

Poem

LOVE, Life,YOU

by MwsR ❤

Like wisps of perfumed air that encircles my head

Your love brings a newness and freshness to my life

You are both my sanity and my fascination

Life revolves with you in it

Without you in it, it comes to a screeching holt

As spring gets here, it reminds me of you

Something is always new for me to look at.

Your ways, your conversations, your love

It all comes without any stipulations,

But with a permanent guarantee

This beautiful life with you, loving me.

Heart

I cannot remember the day I first found you.

I recollect the day with such sadness, but gratefulness

It was when I was told I was adopted.

Life on that day was strange

I remembering feeling like a piece of me was incomplete

Like I was no longer wanted , yet I was.

A whole bunch of feelings and that is when I found you.

I was changed that day.

hanged into someone who would go to wonder on in life

Like a wild animal.

I would not be satisfied till all my questions were answered.

Instead of feeling normal, I now felt like I stuck out.

I learnt what disappointment and rejection was all about.

I talked to you in my own special way

Hope you would save yourself from all this that would come your way

I did not know if I could handle you and my ownself

Hopeless at times I was, but feeling your presence

That brought me some sense of peace.

I knew we were together in this forever

Till death and whatever else there would be.

You have always supported my actions,

Remembered all my dreams

Helped me to be transparent at times

And strong when I needed a boost.

Thank you Heart, even if the feelings were not always the best

You are with me forever, until my final rest.

Just, If

Just in case you have not noticed

Just in case you paid no mind

I was wondering if it is too much of a waste of time.

I woke this morning, with our “lack” of a relationship, in my thoughts.

They encircled my dreams and turned me into a sad person.

The thought of you and I, brings nothing but doubt and suspicion

I think it to be a real act of fruition

Seems you are trying to ruin my day or something else

In all you lack to do or say.

I feel that you are in a race with your ownself

Seeing and compromising things in order to have full reigns

If this is a friendship, then I do not want it any more

I wish you had stayed on your side of life’s door

I get my hopes up and then they are crushed

You play the part of the underdog so well.

Have others thinking you are just swell.

I am the one who sees the other side of your self induced hell.

I see how you want to fit in, how you will not give an inch,though

To make the effort for a friendship, you say you want so.

I am the one who on numerous occasions asked and planned for a nice time out

With you, but you never have ever came through.

I now keep this doubt in the back of my head,

Often wondering if you are a person I should dread.

Just, if in case you have an incline of care

I really tried this whole time to be fair.

Just, if you turn to look behind yourself

You might find someone like me that tried to see you for you

Someone who really did not focus on your bad efforts and empty promises

Just, if you could  have separated your good and bad and shown more of the good

People would willingly be there,for you, if they could.

Poem, MwsR

When I’m done, I’m done, by MwsR
When I’m done, I’m done

There is no happiness, no fun.

Won’t let it make me sad

Just know without you wont be so bad.

It’s horrible though

If you ignore what is inside, you know.

When glad times fade away

When there is nothing left to say.

The same hello and goodbyes mean nothing anymore

The anticipation now has turned to a bore.

You can and should still carry on, go ahead

You deserve to continue, flourish, and be anything but “dead”.

If there ain’t no more room in there or with them,

Pick up yourself and walk away, start again.

Who needs complicated, dilapidated, and aggravated?

Not me, not you , not ever.

Torment In My Brain.  By MwsR
To many times I have let chaos be my norm

Many dreams turned into nightmares and kept me torn.

Peace was hard to have , to expect, or even see.

Why couldn’t I get some for little Ole me?

Moments spent pondering and rehashing old dreams,

Felt like I was coming apart at the seams.

Turning and tossing at night just to rest my weary brain,

Often times that had left me in so much pain.

It’s almost as if I’d let it all point at me like a gun in my own hand,

Aiming for my own heart was almost more than I could stand.

Will it ever end?

The silent miserable attack,

Or will it keep coming for me and pushing me on my back?

Maybe it’s like a curse, the one that holds true,

I guess you’re thinking, better me than you.

Even After

Even after all the pain

After all the rejection 

I would let you back in.

I would do it guarded and on high alert

But I would definitely try

Even after all the lies that you have told about me

After all those days I wished to be free

I would still sit with you

I would do it without apprehension but willingness.

But I would be reserved from your taking your advice.

Even after the loss of my happy teenage years

After all the hiding I had to do and the shame

I would let you know the “now” me

I would pray each day, so I could have courage to stand strong

But I will never willingly let you hurt me again.

Even after the rumors, the harm, the backstabbing

After everyone has formed their own opinions of me 

I would let you genuinely love me

I would prefer that you are humble

But I won’t beg you for none of this, ever.

Even after…

MwsR ❤
