How Bad Is It To Learn How To Love?

When was the last time that
you have loved and lost,
and truly learn
its real, real cost?

(Utter feelings we kept the most.)

Is there a kind of an exit plan in
this lonesome strife,
something that we'd
cherish through life?

Let, therefore, our choices be
the wisest,
Hoping to see us live it through
the longest

We tend to love the ones we
have loved more (and more),
more so, that we sometimes
have lost control, until no more.

(Utter feelings we kept the most.)

You murdered my heart,

Broke the trust I had with you,

Do you really care?

Could you love me to death?

Im empty inside,

Watch me as I walk away,

The emptiness inside of me,

Can I learn to forgive and forget?

All I ever wanted was to talk to you,

Make you laugh and smile,

I never thought I would feel this way,

Your smile is brighter than the sun,

Your hugs are warm and comforting,

Your body temperature is like magma,

I longed to make you happy,

Promised each other we would always be there,

Something stirred deep inside,

Like waking a long sleeping dragon,

Feelings started to surface,

I wouldnt let you go,

I couldnt let you go,

You felt like the night sky,

Held my heart when it was breaking,

I tried to hold yours,

Keep you happy,

You helped me heal when times were hard,

I trusted you implicitly,

I gave you all I had,

Just to make you smile,

Just to make you happy,

Just to be your friend,

Im sorry that I wasnt good enough,

Im sorry that I cared,

I hate what has become of us,

The rift in between,

I feel as far away form you as Pluto,

At the furthest orbital point,

You took my heart and broke it,

You did the one thing I asked you not to,

You burnt bridges we had built,

You destroyed my happiness,

Hurt me in ways I never thought possible,

I want to forgive you,

Because I care,

Im just not sure I can,

I let you in,

Deep inside me,

I miss your touch,

I miss the sparkle in your eyes,

I miss your smile,

I miss you,

I feel like a dying star,

Energy that has been expended too quickly,

Rapidly cooling and diminishing,

Solidifying from the outside in,

Fading from something bright,

Becoming part of the darkness,

A solid lump of nothingness.

Te Amo in Aeternum,

Because I have no choice,

Because I cant help it,

Because Im human and I hurt.

I only wish you know,

How much I loved you,

Right from the beginning,

The impact you made when you landed,

From high above,

You fell so far,

Never losing your shine,

The first time I laid eyes on you,

The darkness staring back at me,

We danced and danced,

Orbited each other,

Complementary and clashing,

A comet passed by,

Obscuring the vision,

Leaving a trail of dust and debris,

You fell to earth,

I held you in my arms,

Breathed life into your fading embers,

I gave you my trust,

I thought I had yours,

You exploded in my hands,

Tore me to shreds,

Ripped my heart out,

Left me bleeding and alone,

If you only knew,

How much I had loved you.

I know we arent together, and you're no longer mine

but that doesnt change how I feel, you're always on my mind.

When I think about you, I am filled with such love

God brought you in my life, inspired from above.

The Thought of you, brings a smile to my face

and I never want you sad, and you look good wearing lace.

you make me feel; there's nothing I cant do

when we are together, I'd do anything for you!

Its hard to describe; all the feelings I feel

all I am sure of, is that these feelings are real.

when you kiss me, I experience a rush and a high

I cant explain it, so I won't even try...

all I am certain, about you and me...

is we belong together, and one day you too will see. 

I need you in more ways, then you can guess

but you need me more, not any less!

I'm not sure why, you dont want love in your life

but If I had my way... I'd take you as my wife.

you are the one thing; that makes me feel whole

You are the best thing in my life... I need you to know

One of these days, maybe you'll feel the same way

and you'll find any excuse to contact me each day

Guide Me

By Jfarrell

I was lost

Without direction

Without objective

Without destination

I was nowhere

In the land of fools

Being led by the blind

Forever falling

From when I woke

To falling exhausted into bed

I was lost

And going nowhere

Then

With the siren of the Siren

You called to me

And gave me a way

Your sweet voice

Whispers in my ear

Leading me over mountains

Guiding me through the deepest chasms

I am coming

As fast as I can

Call to me, guide me

Give me the wings and I will fly to you

My most wondrous Siren

by DaddyO

She'd text her grandpa, instead of "so long",
"Chow" unaware she was spelling it wrong

I suppose right then I should've known
A girl like her needs to be on her own

But I persisted because in us I believed
I suppose a wide-eyed girl makes a man naive

She said "love you" everytime we spoke
Like a broken record that I didn't think broke

The last thing she'd say to me on the phone
And when she would I didn't feel so alone

She'd say "love you" on our way to work
"I love you too", I'd say with a smirk

She said it again on her trip back East
And inside I felt an inner peace

I was so glad when she came back early
But my joy manifested prematurely

"Let's clear our minds of this excess
Organize and purge our clutter and mess"

She said "a storage unit for my extra stuff?"
I never questioned what wasn't enough

I chuckled "this won't all fit in my backseat,
Unless the storage unit is a penthouse suite"!

She said "love you" and packed more clothes
I was blissfully unaware of her plan to go

She said it again in our final embrace
Then said "goodbye" as a slap in the face

I wasn't prepared to not see her again
I suppose my life ends where hers begins

When words are spoken without any shame
"Love you" and "goodbye" all sound the same

The only thing I have left now
Is knowing she didn't text me back "caio!"

by Jeph Johnson

You felt guilty in your innocence
Now you feel justified doing wrong
I'm overcome by our dissidence
As I compose this fatal song
There's an insidious assumption
Being whispered 'round the town
That you've consumed all our consumption
And you're no where to be found
That you're happy without having me
Content all by yourself
Well I've survived now you backstabbing me
And cleared off all our shelves
And underneath the cluttered mess
Beyond the torn down wall of trust
Lies debris destined for loneliness
That I'd rather just call "us"

by DaddyO 

(with apologies to Don McLean) 

Once upon a time ago

I can still remember

How a princess used to make me smile

And I knew if I still had that girl

Her giggle would brighten up my world

And maybe I'd be happy for awhile

Unexpectedly one month before

I had watched the mourners mourn

As bad news filled my newsfeed

There was something more she needed

Oh I remember that I cried

Reaching out without her by my side

Her revolution touched me deep inside

The month after Prince had died

So bye bye all-American Miss

Drove her caddy past her daddy

Extra time and her kiss

And spry young boys who really couldn't care less

Still succeeded capturing my princess

Succeeded capturing my princess

Did you sing the "bubbly" song

And remember how I sang along

Those fleeting times you took the stage?

Your streets might now be paved with gold

But on Broadway you'll still grow old

Like the way the neon lights revealed my age

Well at least this place ain't such a mess

She made room for all my emptiness

She's packed away her glass slippers and her shoes

She really has no more time to lose!

She was a former teenage ugly duckling

Whose tail feathers I didn't know I was plucking

But I never felt so damn unlucky

The month after Prince had died

She was singing~

Bye bye all-American Miss

Drove her caddy past her daddy

Coming back from the sticks

The charming young prince put her down on his list

To awaken beauty with his kiss

Now for one month I've been on my own

The voice inside me clears his throat

But that's not really all she wrote

The month after Prince had died

Like that sunny day holding her hand

She scrawled "I love you" in the sand

Soon swept away by a rising tide

It won't wash away in my mind!

The words inside my happy thoughts

Are stained upon my crying cloth

With more unspoken pillow talk

The month after Prince had died

She stopped singin'

Bye bye all-American Miss

Drove her caddy past her daddy

It's all come down to this

She shattered her mirror as I cackled in fear

Now the fairest one of all is unclear
