    Do you remember the last time we saw one another? It was a long time ago. But I still remember that day. I remember how kind we were to each other, on that afternoon when it no longer mattered. I had thought it was going to be hard. We had been fighting for so long; the battle lines were long drawn, reconciliation long abandoned. But it wasn’t like that at all, was it? It was easy. Familiar. Comfortable. We had Bellinis at Gato Negro, and we talked about those halcyon days when we were you

    Love looks different in retrospect.

    We hate and we love. It hurts.

    A stranger is not what he appears.

    Conversations with Strangers “Hello.” It was a deep voice, and richly textured: a lover’s caress that gently plucked the heartstrings. I gave a slight, involuntary shudder when I heard it; a chill ran up my spine and an intense feeling of dread welled up inside me. I closed my eyes. When I opened them again he was standing before me: a tall man, with an unshaven face and hair, once blond, now faded almost completely to grey. His face was severe, constructed of decisive lines and harsh pl

    It was indeed a deliberate choice of font and formatting style. Took me ages to get the HTML right in GA stories for that column But aside from the formatting, thanks so much for the review! It is ALWAYS much appreciated:) Menzo

    Love isn't measured in years.

    A Measure of Love Our shouting was abruptly silenced by the sound of a wine glass shattering as it hit the ceramic tile at my feet. The noise reverberated through the apartment, followed by utter silence. My eyes widened in shock, and I opened my mouth to yell at Aiden, across the room, but an immense exhaustion washed over me and I closed it again without speaking. He stood motionless, staring at me silently with hard, unforgiving eyes. It was a harsh silence — a silence filled with six year

    Cold, broken and desperate; united only by their loneliness, I watch those poor wretches limning the harshly paved streets below Turning my gaze, I see the vaunted splendor of architectural marvels; Their revolving doors admitting black suits and silk ties. This grey twilight: a blending of day and night; poor and rich; weak and powerful; This – this is London, fabled London A city I have always loved, but a city that seems so unforgiving As I look out my window at the mindless mas

    Running You're just a kid But you know you have to run From that haunting shadow But with every step, it looms larger You run fast; faster than ever before You feel like you could run anywhere But you're just a kid And you can't escape an adult's world You're bigger now; older, angrier You run so much faster Sometimes you escape that shadow But now there are more hunters Every turn leads to a bully Every door reveals an enemy you thought a friend But

    Just some personal musings and ramblings. I'm really not a poet, but I do enjoy writing poetry at times. Enjoy!

    I’ll See You in Hell My parents step out of the front door I watch from the curtain ‘til I’m sure they’re gone With silent resignation, I go about my task I take the shower; the water scalding my loathsome frame I shave my legs and underarms I step out, and put curlers in my newly blonde hair And I style the curls into a Marilyn Monroe style up-do With my hair glamorous and classic I daub white powder onto my face I open the bright red lipstick And roll it slowly over

    Opposites Attract? You were a fiery idealist And I was a gentle cynic You saw the best in people I saw the crippling flaws You said you would die for me I told you not to be foolish You said we were soulmates I told you there was no such thing You said it was fate Me – coincidence You said you would die if I did I said I would grieve, and move on We loved each other But you saw our fights as leaks to be fixed And I saw them as a natural part of our relationship

    Not Good Enough You gave it your best shot But your best wasn’t good enough You said you tried your hardest But that doesn’t cut it I ask of you Nothing less, nothing more Than what I ask of myself: Absolute perfection So the next time you ‘do your best’ Make sure you succeed Failure is failure – don’t sugarcoat it ‘Almost,’ ‘nearly,’ and ‘maybe next time’ aren’t good enough If something is worth doing It’s worth doing right If you can’t do that, Then don’t bo

    Femme Fatale You were a femme fatale With a black leather jacket And long shiny nails You drew boys to you like flies to honey You were a man-eater Your boy-toys lived to please you You used them and cast them to the side And you broke their hearts One-night stands with the prettiest boy in town Was all you ever wanted You slept alone and liked it that way Love is for suckers You walked into that bar, and looked around Your eyes met mine, and you picked your targe

    On Trust I was flustered, and Alex was suave I had so much to say, but not enough courage I tried to open up to him But he just walked away I want to love – without the loss I want to trust – without opening up I want to be kind – without being used I want to relax – without letting down my guard I was arrogant, and Bobby was accepting He wanted to know me, but he couldn’t crack my shell He tried to tell me he love me But I just walked away Arrogance keeps me safe

    Losing Myself You walked into the room and my jaw dropped I pushed my boyfriend to the side, and chased you down The months dragged on; the novelty wore off You dropped the façade, but I was too blind to see How can such beauty be a veil to something so ugly? Why couldn’t I separate the physical from the emotional? I tried to leave time and again, But I kept coming back for more Was I too weak? Was I too doubtful of myself? I let you validate me And in doing so, I

    I Cannot What is death? Is it the sweet release for which I yearn? Is it an eternity of regret? Or is it simply oblivion? I stood there on that precipice, and I longed to let myself go. To drift through this Aeolian cosmos on the barren winds of time But I cannot. Your words echo through my mind, scathing that which I tried to hide You made me hate myself, and for that, even death is denied me I want the ecstasy of release, without the guilt of pleasure Well I

    Too Little, too Late I’m sorry, I really am I know it’s too late I know it only causes pain, But I love you You walked into my life, And turned it upside down You were everything I wasn’t And you were willing to do what I couldn’t I wouldn’t make the first move, So you did. I couldn’t say ‘I love you,’ So you said it first I didn’t open up to you, So you invited yourself in I vacillated and I wavered, I hummed and I hawed But you were always there But you

    How Dare We? Who do you think you are, to criticize me? to question me? to judge me? And how dare you? You waltz into the room, and you think you have every right You say what you please and expect me to listen, and, God help me, I do And how dare you? I cry, and you tell me to buck up I implore, and you just turn the other cheek I defend myself, and you just laugh Well no more And how dare you? I can be cold, too I too can place myself above reproach Y

    Love is not Enough Why, love, why? I gave so much, and took so little I looked into those eyes, and I saw love I saw love, and I thought it was enough I was wrong You have no idea what it’s like to know that love isn’t everything I wanted ‘us’ to work, but you just wanted ‘you’ You tried, you really did But sometimes your best just isn’t good enough I grew tired of waiting, Of waiting for selflessness Of waiting for a surprise on my pillow Of waiting for your
