Johnny Monroe

I am inanimate.
My face is diamond, beautiful but cold.
...

I would lie awake
reading your lies in the dead of night
over and over
'til dawns subtle light
...

Your eyes...
they never search for me.

Your lips...
...

Hope is gone
I try to be strong
But it feels so wrong
to let it all go
...

...

He felt it
tugging at him
pulling
trying so hard
...

I wait
for the day

when no one kills
...

I've been living in the past
for far too long,
been thinking about you,
been singing our songs...
...

A restless spirit,
a wandering ghost
memories from lifetimes ago
and unfinished business
...

All that I loved you with has died
and I loved you with all the light I had inside
where once brilliant colors lay
(vibrant,
...

Honey sweet notes
drift in,
drift out
banish the bitter taste in my mouth.
...

Love and Time

are the worst of enemies
Where one lingers
...

You're like a drug
a dangerous addiction
make me feel something's real
when I know its only fiction.
...

Moving through the soul
weaving it's way around my essence
creating/destroying
all that lies within
...

Poetry doesn't always help
communicate your pain
sometimes...
...

For breaking me down,
for cutting me open,
for digging in the knife
as you whispered in your goddess smooth voice
...

he threw it on everyday
before entering the stage
It was a simple character
he was trying to portray.
...

Sometimes moving on
doesn't mean forgetting the feelings...

Sometimes it means
...

They say I'm not allowed to know you
because my so called sins
(you, personally, never said that right?)
are different than theirs.
...

Do you notice,
how he still searches for you,
how his eyes wander over the crowd
looking for the one he loves?
