Chris

Now that you’re gone

I have no one by my side

To help me through

That person was always you

Now i feel the loneliness

Of being truly alone

You were the greatest friend

I have ever known

That this world has ever shown

I’m not alright

I’m not okay

Just take me back

To a better day

You were always there for me

And I’m so grateful for that

And for you

Until we meet again

I love you…

My sweet friend

July 9 th

It’s been one year without you

After 35 1/2 with you

And I’m lost

I need you

I miss you

Goodbye

Great show tonight

He wasn’t there

Do you understand me?

No.

Not at all

Never.

Not willing

Not capable

Not true.

Not wanting

Not caring maybe.

But I saw it once

When he maybe cared

Maybe wanted to

Maybe willing

Maybe the demons in his head

Were on vacation

Or tired.

Cause even demons need a break too

I don’t know

All I can say is how I feel

And it’s sad

To see someone you loved so much

Just turn into someone else

And have such hate

And meanness

Doesn’t make me angry

Doesn’t make me want to get revenge

I’m too sad for that

And revenge was never my thing

I let time and truth

Work it’s own magic

But right now

The kind of sadness I feel

Is like when a family member or someone you were super close dies

Except it’s worse

Cause he’s still there

Seeing whatever he wants to see

That isn’t really me

Not seeing me

But letting the real demons

Alter his brain

Take over his soul

Without him even knowing

It’s a sadness I can’t explain

Unless you’ve felt it before

One I never

Want to feel again.

Beer as cold as your ex’s heart

I will never understand how some people can be so cold.

To turn off

To love conditionally

To have such black and white thinking and feeling

To be cruel

To make up reasons why to hate

To criticize and put down

Yet be blind to everything that’s good

To completely ignore their own behavior

To make another person feel unwanted

Unimportant

Useless

So many people “love” that way

That’s not love.

That’s just selfishness mixed with a bitterness

You teach others through love

You can kill a man with disregard and neglect

And a mean spirit

Some people’s truth is whatever they were conditioned with from the time they were born

All they know is to pass that down to anyone and everyone they touch.

Yet they don’t see it.

Some people love to blame others or something false as a reason to take out their anger and pain on someone

Some people only know how to push the people that care about them away.

If all you know is the negative

If all you’ve seen and experienced is negative

You’re gonna end up looking for the negative in everyone else that comes along

I wish compassion played a higher role in mankind

I wish people thought about the lasting effects of their actions and behavior towards others

I wish people didn’t react to things they make up in their head

We are in this world

Hopefully to help one another

Not to harm someone who truly loves you

And definitely not to harm the ones who love you just because our past experiences and trauma makes you think that it’s okay to do.

It’s sad.

But there will always be people out there who just don’t know why better

And /or just don’t care to be better than what was done to them.

I wish you a happy life

For the first time

I truly

100%

without any doubt

Wish you the best

I Want the happiest life

For you

And for myself

Though our time together

Is now done

At least for now and the near future.

I am grateful

For the times we had

Both good and bad.

It was a part of my life

And I respect it

As that.

I am now okay

With letting you go.

I cannot make you stay

Nor would I want to.

I cannot change you

I can only change myself

I do not harbor any bad feels towards you

I need space and time to heal

Without you around

But I do not have bad feelings towards you.

However you feel about me is non of my concern anymore.

Those are your feelings and i respect that you are allowed to feel the way you do

Even if I don’t agree on what you feel and why you feel them

I cannot change how you feel

And I will not try

I know who i am

And i accept and love myself for who I am

I am still learning and growing and changing too. I am not perfect

No one is

But i know my worth

No one else has the power to determine that for me except for me.

If you do not know my worth

That is okay

You don’t have to

You don’t have to be around me

But i don’t have to be around you

I don’t have to do anything I don’t feel comfortable doing

I don’t have to be okay with something or someone that is not okay to me and my well being

I will keep my distance

I hope you will do the same.

Thank you

And goodbye

Crossed

Where’s my love?

He’s not the same person now

He’s gone mad

And I miss the man

I loved so much

The loneliness

Consumes me right now

And I can’t help but cry

And

You will sit there

Knowing how I feel

And never

Ever understand

Why

Friends

Please don’t blame yourself

You are not bad

I want you to know that

From the bottom of my heart to

The deepest part of your soul

You are loved

….

You make me so sad

You’ll see

What pain is

When you have to deal with someone like you

But I won’t be there

By your side.

Cause you were never really there for me..

Your presence was airways tainted with a hateful evil and cruelty

That I could never and will never understand

You like to break the people who love you

Down

To the fucked up hole

You came from

And your actions and words

Have done enough

This time

You have crossed the line

And I no longer have love for someone who is a predator like you

You have no love in your heart

You just take the good and make the bad

And leave

Like the coward you are

who cares if you can beat someone up

Or who cares how angry you can get

You’re still a fucking coward and a bully

You can’t deal with shit without drugs

Or hurting the ones closest to you

You came in this world alone

And you’ll die alone

And I hope you feel what you made me feel

Cause i did nothing to deserve the level of hate and anger you have thrown at me

My bad for putting up with it for so long.

You don’t deserve love.

You need to be treated like the ugly person you truly are

You need to have someone break your heart the way you love to break mine.

Ahhh but narcissists don’t feel

So I guess you’ll be fine

You should go away

You are the reason this world is a shitty place

Cause you don’t make it any better.

You suck the soul of of people who loved you

And then you think it’s everyone else

You’ll never get past this level.

Cause you have no love to give

You are a loser

And you just lost me for good.

Good riddance you ugly

Hateful little man.

You’re a lost cause

And no one will ever care as much as i did

And you just fucked that up
