The dragon was fought silently
In a journal every so quietly
When no one was there to lend a hand
I kept fighting and pushing for dry land
In the ocean of blackness and tears
I thought I would sink and disappear
To the rescue came a simple pen
And paper pages to write therein.  

The dragon lies defeated
The ocean, a few rain drops
The pages of a journal completed
I now can share my thoughts.

Soaring and Poison

Fly away bird, fly away.
On the wings the air flows,
They lift you up with huffs and blows.
The sparrow eats it up and wants it to stay.

The wind will stop.
The sparrow will fall.
Spinning, whirling, tumbling far.

Make it stop, this cycle of pride.
The only way is in your heart.
Love thy self,
The wind always blows.

I wrote this to describe when he needed other peoples praise and attention to make himself feel good and important.  If he would realized, he could love himself,  that feeling would never go away. 
................................................................
Poison is what you are
I want to drink

Addiction to my heart
I want to eat

Fill my veins with it
I want to sleep

Awake in the night
I want more

When I wrote this, I knew I was 'addicted' to making my relationship work.  The harder I tried the more helpless the situation seemed.  I knew it was bad, but I wanted to make it work.  Even though it was poison, I felt a desire to keep trying.
