Bill Hallsworthy Poems

My tears are salty drops of failure, Rolling down my face like there’s no tomorrow,
Living every day like my last, Watching the present turn into the past.
Thoughts and memories intensify, Emotions wild like a crazy guy,
Not knowing how to speak, Physically, emotionally and mentally weak.
...

Melted cheese oozing from my ears
Erratic thoughts building fears
My tears are making my beer salty
Near enough to see but too far to touch
...

Its not about you anymore
There’s bigger problems i've ignored
When there’s no one left to call
I wont know what to do anymore
...

what goes up must come down, a train wreck waiting to happen
when love is lost, I can't be happy again
it'll rain for weeks, don't go outside, stay off my feet
your no longer by my side, still I'm glad we met
...

The faces of fellows that walk this path,
feel the fear of being half,
no longer whole, one must ask,
why did happiness end so suddenly?
...

</></></>Dark clouds roll in as the rain starts to fall,
your voice calling my name through the growing storm,
echos silence and I pick your direction,
know this time not to listen to my emotions,
...

Passers by watch my expressions,
recognizing failure, creating a connection,
sad stories told, sounds familiar,
when it unfolds, the reply is something similar,
...

I have seen pain, I have seen hate,
I have seen tears, have I seen straight?
or had my judgement been clouded?
shrouded in mist, dead in the head,
...

Fractured images fill the light,
facts said slowly opens my eyes,
the brightness closes in,
and forgiveness fades into black and white.
...

surreal sounds distort inside
times longer than the paint
schizophrenic or mis-shaped
rushed nesting placed and misplaced
...
