Thomas Howe

I can't take the mental strain
It's worse than any physical pain
We always expect the most
From the ones we hold close
...

This life is cruel
I know I'm a fool
Why do I care so much
I long for your touch
...

I have became the ghost of my past
The change is for the worst, It better not last
This part of me, I have grown to despise
I live my life in a disguise
...

This world is now so cold
Even though some are bold
This has to be the last stand
Can so much evil ever be band
...

I toss and turn
The more I think the more I burn
What should I do with this thought
Answers, not question, I should have sought
...

All hope is now gone
I'm just a lousy pawn
It's like i don't exist
Hidden within the mist
...

There goes another sunset
one more lost bet
I finally figured it out
I want to let out a shout
...

Broken hearts, unavoidable
Mending hearts take time
One enters picture
Take a step
...

The nights of agony begin
Depressing as a song from a violin
You want to figure things out
It's you I want beyond a doubt
...

I said I would never leave
You should not believe
I'm nothing more than a boy
To you, I was your first toy
...

What am I supposed to do with this feeling
Endless nights staring at the ceiling
With you the days flew by
Now alone they never die
...

I wanted you to be mine
I thought you were so fine
You were always on my mind
Why do you have to seem so kind
...

Life is a game of chess
Strategic moves that yield success
Expect a few let downs
Remember life has many rounds
...

Individual days time stands still
Years fly by without a thrill
You look back, It went so fast
Try not to live in the past
...

You have me on the brink
I don't know what to think
I tried to fix this
Only to be lead amiss
...

She is a myth to misperceive
A myth I need to believe
They say she does not exist
There is something they missed
...

My mind is so weak
My heart even more
These thoughts always come
Feelings linger on
...

When I wake up here is what I see
The most beautiful sight I could wish for
Your curves outlined under the blankets
Dark curly hair spread across the pillow
...

All I see is grey skies
Flashing across my eyes
The emptiness inside
Is like the ocean’s tide
...

I never look at the stars
It reminds me of my scars
That brought me great sorrow
Of the promises of tomorrow
...
