Tell me this wasn’t all just wasted time

Sitting here 6:45 in the evening.

Can’t get the words out of my head.

“ The Autumn leaves have got you thinking

About the first time that you fell”

I don’t know how to describe the pain in my heart .

When I hear that line and think of you.

The empty spaces in conversations

grow longer.

The awkward moments of silence

looking for something to say.

Distance in every word and every line.

Tell me this wasn’t all just wasted time.

In the morning sun, I feel the new days warmth.

Empty and hollow, you haven’t been here

For so long.

A shimmer in the light reminds me of that line.

I hear that line and think of you.

The awkward spaces in conversations

grow longer.

The long moments of silence

looking for something to say.

Distance in every word and every line.

Tell me this wasn’t all just wasted time.

the art of miscommunication

you say I shouldn't do that

and I hear I should change

I say I can't do this anymore

and you hear I give up

you tell me I need to get better

and I hear you're tired of me

I tell you how much I miss you

and you hear you aren't trying

you ask why am I crying

and I hear I have no right

I ask when will you learn

and you hear it's never enough

The priest was good and God was great;

life was a holy mission.

They said my friends would burn in hell,

and then I had some questions.

Silence never spoke,

not a single whisper.

That way she could never choke

and have her words misdeliver.

How has writing shaped you?
How has being a writer helped you? I've heard a lot about how a writer's work has helped others through hard times, inspired them to achieve their dreams or simply cured boredom, but today I want to know how has being able to write stories, poems, essays of fiction and non fiction helped you? how have you the writer, benefited from writing your stories?

Writing to Understand and Mend

Writing can do a lot for The Writer. It can help them to sort things out, it can make them money, it can improve your skills and most of all it has personal benefit. My greatest benefit that comes from writing is how to communicate with people. My writing has helped me turn out my feelings, and realize that saying certain things would actually cost me some relationships. I have a temper and in earlier years a sharp tongue, turning to writing has allowed me to calm down, think it through and see that hurting people is not the way. It also benefit me in helping me to see their point of view and too listen...The greatest benefit has been saving my relationships.

Seventeen Words

The exquisite pain of unrequited love

Beautifully perfect in its pain.

Yet you’ve never felt more alive.

Lethal Injection

Your soft touch with strong determination

Strapped my body in place.

Looking through the eyes of conviction,

I saw your graceful face.

Injected with a needle of Midazolam.

You said that I would feel free - from anxiety

But slowly I felt like a little Golem

And as a last resort I behaved with piety.

Blacking out

From the white light of your aura.

Putting our love in doubt,

You brought the box of Pandora.

You came close and whispered,

"Time for Pancuronium Bromide."

Unable to get out of your mesmerizing skin,

I had no other choice but to abide.

Still had hope in you

Until I felt my muscles contract.

The terrifying paralysis

Spreading limb by limb.

I was unable to breath,

Powerless motion accompanied.

Not craved for your body anymore

But for oxygen as my lungs became drier.

I could feel your warm liquids pour

But none contained the love I desire.

You forgot to sedate me properly,

Administered one needle instead of two.

Your voices driven by the lust entirely,

I understood that I was always played by you.

After long minutes of struggling with me,

You got Potassium Chloride.

You were ready to stop my heart,

Sending my nerves for an irregular ride.

Looking at my clothes that laid aside

I wanted to unbuckle and hug them tight.

Remembering the past,

I waited for the final blow.

Thinking about the sorcery you cast,

My soul shivered, stopping the blood flow.

Your happiness was registered in heaven

While my existence presented in hell.

You think you were less than a weapon

While I felt the mutilation of each cell.

For you it was all for a fulfilling erection,

Passing a death sentence for me by

A Lethal Injection.

I'm tired of being just a "knick-knack" for you. Either leave me or include me, but at this point, I'm hurt more by you ignoring me than I would be if you were just up and out.

Wade with the wind.

Time an time again I rise

from a constant falling,

time an time again

I find the floor

on bended knee crying

pleading forever calling.

The days just

seem to get darker

in the sun,

without a doubt life just gets harder after childish fun.

Maybe tomorrow ill run and never look back.

I'll join the wind, you'll never see me,

ill be your feeling....

chase me if you must

but you'll never catch

the breeze,

ill be one with the weather.

A forever man

blowing up desert sands

raining on parched distant lands. Wisdom in the winds,

plans for my wax wings

gaining ground without a sound, sipping on a sunshower.

Freedom from the tick of time! gripping a shooting star.

Bathing in rain clouds

Riding rainbows I am elemental,

I left my flesh with the rest of the toxic mess.

I gave up on lifes poxy test...

when I'm mad I speak with thunder...

when I fight myself lightning descends to earth.

I never wanted a screaming birth since then I've been haunted an cursed !

ill never be life's wife:

I whistle through the rustling leaves instead,

I'm the reason you can breathe

I'm four seasons in every second,

I arrive and leave before the whole world bleeds....

before mother earth is deserted after sciences and space travel

illusions of advancement,

it's all disenchantment.

Make a wish your dreams will be swiftly granted find a seed and plant it.

Fuck it that’s how JA plans it.
