AURELIAN

I need to tell you what happened
Something you might need to know
Above all else I try smiling
Years ago you told me to do so

Through the fog I search for the reason
Just trying to make sense of this mess
All I can see is the hidden anguish
Lost in these streets of fog, no less

Invite you in so you can see me
My shattered and broken soul
Hoping that by the end of the chapter
I found a way to once again be whole

TANYA SINGS I Want It That Way

LIES

They said everything out of her mouth is a lie
Don't believe the words, the tears that she cries
It's all just a ruse, a rotten old fake
She's just trying to get attention for her own sake
Nothing ever happened to make her feel sad
Certainly nothing to say why she's mad
We all have trouble with parents, it's true
Trouble with one, more so if it's two
There's nothing wrong with the situation she had
If anything, she should be really glad 
A lovely house in which to retreat
Three squares a day, more than enough to eat

Don't bother looking at the pain in her eyes
That's just another part of those gargantuan lies

POETRY READING - LEFT BEHIND: A Poem

LEFT BEHIND A Poem

Running running after you
Yet always left behind
I know you don't do it to hurt me
Or even to be unkind

It's just that I'm not important enough
To turn back for a cursory glance
I'm always available when you need me
So we continue to do this dance

Running running after you
I have tried to make you see
When you settle for less than what you're worth
That's what you do to me

Running running after you
Forgot to stop and look
At the sadness creeping inside of me
This poem was all it took
