and I cried



“and I cried”

Yes.

I saw that.
and I cried.
I was there.
When my heart died.

I've flown just above,
Where most angels fly.
Tattered tears of heart break,
Have fallen from my eyes.
 
I’ve tread the miles.
I’ve ran them too.
Unto my heart,
I’ve always been true.
 
I’ve suffered the bruises.
Exposed without contact.
Relived memories,
Of total regret.
 
I saw that.
and I cried.
I was there.
When my heart died.

Hope, Flesh and Bone

Photobucket

“Hope, Flesh and Bone”

Sometimes I want to reach out,
Then I remember the stark reality.
That with such harsh crystal clarity,
Has been shown to me.

So I’m forced to wonder,
What is the point in any of this.
When you know you are wasting your breath.
With every wish.

That the wood and asphalt,
The concrete and stone.
Will always last longer,
Than hope, flesh and bone.

Honesty is a matter of ones perspective,
Dependant upon what we need.
That the most powerful impulse,
Is simply greed.

So we waste our time,
With wish, hope, even prayer.
And left with the stark reality,
That no one is there.

Sometimes I want to reach out,
Then I remember the stark reality.
That with such harsh crystal clarity,
Has been shown to me.

I Feel Like

Photobucket
“I Feel Like”


I feel like I’m moving,
Between the edges of broken glass.
And I can not honestly say,
I’m up to the task.

An edge that can cut,
Cause you to bleed out.
And I’m honestly not sure I know,
What any of this is about.

I feel like I’m stumbling,
Down a long and winding road.
And perched on my by back,
Is an unbearable load.

I feel like I’m speaking words,
That are impossible to comprehend.
I feel like I’m falling,
Never knowing how far I descend.

WE GIVE A DAMN #1 - FULL VERSION

I just wanted to say that I don’t post all of these links concerning Gay issues because I expect every person to click and watch every video.


Hell honestly, I don’t care if you watch any of them and won’t think more or less of you if you do or don’t… if what I think about you even matters.


I just hope that maybe, someone might watch one of the videos and remember the websites or organizations that are there to help in the event that someone confides in you and you can at least say, “There are A LOT of videos on YouTube that list the resources for support…”


Just knowing that much could send a young person who is scared and confused in the right direction to find the support they need.

A Long Black Rose

Photobucket

"A Long Black Rose"

Soft moon light drifts in
Gently illuminating the room
A lone figure sleeps
Unaware impending doom

Click

Your eyes flutter open
The sound interrupts your sleep
Something feels wrong
As chills start to creep

Glance at the door
It should be open but it's closed
And beside you on the pillow
Lay a long black rose

The knot rises in your throat
A silent tear pours from your eye
Alone in the house
None would hear you scream or cry

Phone on the night stand
You reach but it's gone
Heart beating so fast
Everything's wrong

Have to run
Jump quick from the bed
It grabs your ankle and pulls
You fall smashing your head

"No, no, no"
You whimper, you claw
At the mercy of this beast
Pulling you to its maw

You scream
You squirm
Pulled under so fast
You pray to God above

The last you hear…

"Together forever, my love"

It's Dark

Photobucket
It's dark

Raining
Wet
Thunder
Running

A forest
A trail
Where

Oh my God
It's coming

Running
It's back there
Pounding
In my ears

Running
Can't hear it
It's back there

It's dark
Can't see
It's back there

Running
Pounding
In my ears

Running

Slipping
Falling
Sliding
Muddy

Oh my God
It's back there
Get up
Struggle
Get up
Slip

It's Dark

Breathe
Just breathe
Just breathe

Freeze

It's close
Oh my God
It's close

Don't breathe
No sound
No sound
Be quite
Be still
Hide

It's moving
Closer
Oh my God

Closer
Oh my God

On me
Oh God
It's on me
Heavy
Pushing
My face
In the mud

Oh God
Breathe
Can't breathe
Scream
Can't scream

Oh God
Mud
In my mouth

On me
Oh God
Ripping
Tearing
Laughing

Oh God
Bleeding
Burning


Squirming

Oh God
Breathe
Need to breathe
Can't breathe

Squirming

Oh God
Scream
Need to scream
Can't scream

Squirming

Oh God
On me
Pushing
Clawing
Biting

Oh God
Get away
Get away
Ripping
Tearing
Laughing
Oh God
Can't breathe
Can't scream
Can't move
Bleeding
Burning

Oh God

It's dark

Joel Burns tells gay teens "it gets better"

This is a wonderful story

I had a friend named Kara, with the same condition as this young man. We lost her a few years ago, but I know she would have loved to see this. While she was not restricted to a wheel-chair, she defied doctors and actually could walk on her own.

I just thought I would share this in case you know of someone that needs the encouragement that this young man inspires.

I think I'm gonna do an 'It does get better video'

the stories here lately have made me so sad and angry. A video might not change things but maybe it will make me feel better.
