Faceless

Each day I awaken to a life with little purpose or meaning
I feel faceless and worthless…. but I continue on
Living without you is a struggle, an uphill battle
I’ve felt this unhappy, since the day you were gone.

Pushing forward, pushing ahead…I try, but it doesn’t get any better
I keep wondering if the pain that I feel will ever go, will ever leave me.
It’s unfair, you walked away. Your life goes on.
You get to be happy. You get to be free.

I realize that so many people have it much worse, a lot worse than I do
I’m fixated and wasting my time on thoughts of you.
I need to move on, learn to appreciate my life.
Before too long, my life will be over. I know what I need to do.

Stop whining, get on with my life…I tell myself again and again.
Stop wanting more. Stop expecting more. Stop feeling so incredibly needy.
Time to step back, get ahold of myself
Be satisfied with what I have. Stop being so abashedly greedy.

It’s all a state of mind. None of its real
It’s just a fantasy. Do dreams ever really come true?
I imagined you. I conjured up a world, a life
The life I thought I’d have with you.

via Daily Prompt: Foreign

 

Foreign

Men at war, what would you know?
You were too scared, you told them no
You’re quick to argue, so quick to fight
Why can’t you once, just get it right?

What’s with the ties to foreign soil?
Planning to buy some Russian oil?
Why do you follow Putin’s lead?
Why are you governed by lust and greed?

You owe him money, he holds your loans?
What do you tell him on the phone?
You sell us out? Are you a traitor?
You will pay, sooner than later.

Over time the damage done
You’ve slept around, you’ve had your fun
What is your hope, what is your plan?
I wish that we could understand.

Catch and kill, you’ve squashed the stories
Changed the lead for fame and glory
We don’t have any faith in you
We can’t believe the things you do.

You buy them off, give them some money
You think it’s fun, you think it’s funny?
You’re such a pig, so vile and weak
But, someone there provides the leaks.

It won’t be long before you’re thru
We’ll soon have seen the last of you
Mueller plans to prosecute
You’ll be in prison before he’s thru.

* CATCH & KILL…..(A term used by the newspaper, THE NATIONAL INQUIRER. Refers to trapping a story to keep it out of the public eye, for one reason or another.)

A penetrating wound
The weapon never found
No footprints to dust
The snow melted to the ground.

Looking for a knife
But it never did appear
Seems the weapon…. never surfaced
But like the ice…. was crystal clear.

The large drips fell from the roof
They had frozen there in place
No one thought to look there
Once melted… were erased.

Such a clever weapon
Much better than a knife
An ingenious means of death
Could be used to take a life.

Can you convict without a weapon?
Evidence equals a crime
But without any fingerprints
Can you prosecute this time?

The ice had simply melted
The investigation took too long
The weapon that was used
Had melted, it was gone.

One special moment
One special day
A special memory
Locked away.

Your precious smile
Your warm embrace
That caring look
Upon your face.

There’s no way
To bring you back
You are gone
And that’s a fact.

I’ll never hear
Your laugh again
But I can still
Remember when.

Before Disease
Had ravished you
And left me here
So sad, so blue.

Left to pine
For you all day
Until I find
Another way.

To deal with loss
To deal with grief
A pain so harsh
A pain so deep.

At least the memories
Still remain
They ease my sorrow
They ease my pain.

Where’s her stuff?

Read your rights
Look where you are
In the back
Of a squad car.

Police reports
Said you were there
What’s in your pockets?
You still scared?

Central booking
Will take some time
What were you thinking?
What’s on your mind?

Sitting there
Behind bars
Always known
You won’t get far.

Stripped searched
Mouth shut
You try and talk
They say, “enough”.

Rights are gone
You should’a known
What were you thinking?
Now, you’re alone.

Old ladies?
Were you for real?
Was it worth it?
Why did you steal?

Were you hungry?
Was it for fun?
Good thing… no weapon
Good thing… no gun.

You’re going down
Might get a plea
I would confess
If it were me.

Six months
Probably more
Since you’ve been thru
This all before.

via Daily Prompt: Talisman

Talisman

He carried his talisman
Everywhere that he would go
Thru every struggle
Thru the rain or thru the snow.

Barriers and obstacles
Often crossed his path
Thank goodness for his lucky charm
Instead of crying, he’d just laugh.

Like magic he would find the way
Passed negativity and hardships
He was considered the luckiest guy
He revealed thru every part of this.

Always knew he had no worries
That luck was on his side
He never had to be concerned
No reason, or need to cry.

Like he had won the lottery
He skated right on by
He never had to think about it
Luck was on his side.

Then came the day he reached inside
Found a hole in the pocket of his pants
He had lost his lucky charm
He began to scream and rant.

“Oh no, what will I do?
I’ve lost my lucky charm
Try and help me find it
Please sound the alarm.”

He looked high and low
He looked everywhere
His lucky charm was gone
And no one seemed to care.

The wizards and the genies
Had all just disappeared
Without his lucky charm
He’d be facing all his fears.

Now he was standing on his own
No safety net to catch his fall
He had to make his own luck now
There was no one there to call.

Trembling and frightened
Always feeling so afraid
Afraid of my own shadow
Afraid of my own grave.

Walking into any room
Filled with a large crowd
Wishing they’d be quiet
The noise is just too loud.

Tired of all the feelings
Of remorse and harsh regret
Wishing to find a way out
A simple way I could forget.

Stumbling and tripping
Over my own feet again
Being betrayed by you, by them
My not so loyal friends.

Out of control, losing my way
When did it all go wrong?
I was once so happy
Now I sing this sad, sad song.

Not having very much fun these days
Feeling weary and withdrawn
Nothing’s ever been quite right
Now that you are gone.

Missing Nora Ephron
Her books, her interviews
There was no one like her
No one with her attitude.

No one’s using their fine china
Fast food is all they need
No one plants a garden
Grown from just one little seed.

Candlelight and music
Props used only in the past
Romance has since escaped me
Guess it was never meant to last.

Nothing more than a predator
We’ve heard it all before
Playbunnies and pornstars
Secretaries and so many more.

Such a lowlife actor
Pretending that you care
This country deserves more than you
This simply isn’t fair.

A pathological liar
An illiterate babbling fool
You should get what you are due
You’re a narcissistic mule.

Praising Putin, a murderer
A dictator, an unopposed assassin
Congratulating him on the election
How in the hell could this have happened?

Just because you say it’s so
Doesn’t make it true
Everyone should know by now
We have no faith in you.

Sex, lies, and video tapes
They’ll catch up to you
You’ll be caught with your pants down
Before the court’s are through.

Taking full advantage
Of your money and your fame
In the end you’ll be nothing
Just a number, not a name.

You need to be in prison
That’s where you do belong
After Mueller finishes with you
You’ll sing a different song.

They need to have you put away
Then throw away the key
You don’t belong in society
You should never be set free.

You’ve hurt so many people
So many in your wake
But one day soon, you will finally see
You’ve made your last mistake.

Behind bars is where you’ll be
Your debt long past and overdue
No one will care what you have to say
We’ll be free of the likes of you.

via Daily Prompt: Invisible

Invisible

You’ve become invisible
It’s like you never met
Like he never knew you
You were so easy to forget.

You built your life around him
What were you thinking then?
How could you have been so wrong?
How did it all begin?

He put his plan in motion
He was all over you
Blinded by intensity
But, not a thing he said was true.

That luring look in his eyes
What more could you do?
You fell so hard, you believed
He was in love with you.

He’s moved on, it’s over now
You were left behind
One day he said he loved you
The next, he changed his mind.

The shame and the embarrassment
Plaque your heart and mind
Wish you never met him
Wish you hadn’t been so blind.

Reflections of sunlight
Seen from my window
Fills up the sky
And the street far below.

A ball so bright
Like never before
Incredible sunlight
Sunshine galore.

Children out playing
They shield their eyes
For some it’s so bright
It’s making them cry.

Don’t stare for too long
You may even go blind
The sun is so bright
It’s much hotter this time.

Where are the clouds
To offer us shelter?
It’s getting too hot
I’m starting to swelter.

There is no protection
Get into the shade
Fires are igniting
What a mess we have made.

Before very long
We will need to withdraw
Come out of our houses
And run from it all.

Our pools evaporating
No water to drink
Steam coming out
of our own kitchen sinks.

When it gets dark
We should plan to go
Heading far north
Where they still have some snow.

Too much pollution
No sunscreen left
We have to do something
I’m scared half to death.

We knew it was coming
Not much we can do
We’re a planet in crisis
Protected by few.

Money and greed
All their deregulations
Poisoning fuels
Causing annihilation.
