Keegan Mosby's first heart feeling/breaking poetry book
Dear James,
Amidst the crashing waves we'll go, With you, my heart, I'll brave the foe. The tempest's roar, our hearts will soar, together, we'll reach the distant shore.
I'd rather swim in stormy seas with you, Than sail calm waters with anyone new. For in your eyes, I see the light, Guiding me through the darkest night.
So let the winds of change blow strong, Together, we'll rise above the throng. And as we face the stormy seas, Our love will guide us to our destiny.
Narcissist Curse
Trapped in a circle of despair,
Unable to break free from his snare,
The narcissist holds you tight
And clouds your mind with endless blight.
His words drip with honeyed lies,
As he feeds you empty alibis,
And though you know you should go,
You keep holding on, afraid to let go.
The cycle of abuse repeats,
As the narcissist's ego swells and beats,
And you're left feeling small and weak,
Wondering how you'll ever break free.
But know that you are strong and brave,
And with each day, you can break the slave,
That the narcissist has made of you,
And finally find true life.
So hold on to hope and keep the faith,
And don't let the narcissist seal your fate,
For with time and courage, you will see,
That you are strong enough to be free.
unrepairable
I used to never be this way,
A happy boy with dreams to play,
But now I am a broken man,
Lost in an empty wasteland.
I used to look forward to the future,
Hopeful for what it might nurture,
But now I only wait for death,
Longing for my final breath.
I used to think I had it all,
But life has come and made me fall,
Convinced that I have lost everything,
A shattered soul with no mending.
From the inside out I am destroyed,
A broken shell that can't be deployed,
No longer repairable, I fear,
Forever lost in a sea of tears.
After Mark
It left a mark,
Every word and sigh,
Every half smile and moment,
Memories still make me cry.
We were happy once,
And I felt so alive,
But now you're gone,
And I'm dead from the inside.
I try to move on,
To find a new start,
But the past still haunts me,
And tears me apart.
Everything reminds me,
Of what we used to be,
And I can't shake the feeling,
That you were meant for me.
But life goes on,
And I must too,
Even though I'm broken,
And missing you.
So I'll keep moving forward,
With the mark that you left,
And hope that someday,
I'll find inner peace and rest.
Slow Days In March
Darkness creeps inside my soul, A weight that drags me down, As I search for purpose and control, fear I may drown. The weight of life is too heavy to bear, A burden I cannot shake, No ray of hope, no light to share, All that's left is to break. Days become endless nights, A slow march toward the end, I've lost my will to fight, And am ready to descend. My dreams of joy and happiness, Fade into the abyss, see no way to progress, In this eternal darkness. So, I give up on life, And let it take its course, for in this endless strife, find no remorse.
Mentally Ill
You promised to love and happiness,
But all I got was emptiness,
You came into my life one day,
And slowly tore it all away.
You said you'd make everything right,
But now I can't sleep at night,
My mind is cluttered with despair,
And I don't know how much more I can bear.
I used to be okay, I did,
But now I'm mentally ill, a broken kid,
Walking down this lonely path,
Wondering how long I can last.
You said you'd give me so much more,
But all I got was pain and more,
You destroyed my hopes and dreams,
And now I can't even scream.
So here I am, broken and worn,
Wondering how I'll ever be reborn,
You promised me so much, it's true,
But all you gave me was that which I now
rue.
This Is Who I Am
A young man with a troubled past,
Haunted by memories he'd rather forget.
He turned to drugs and alcohol,
As a coping mechanism, he thought it could all be dealt with.
But in the depths of his addiction,
He found himself constantly alone.
Facing his demons every day,
As he struggled to make it on his own.
Yet, in every moment of darkness,
He searched for a glimmer of light.
A reason to keep fighting,
And the strength to make it through the night.
Through the pain and the confusion,
He slowly began to see,
That recovery was a journey,
That needed patience and tenacity.
So, with every step forward,
And with every stumble he took,
He held onto a flicker of hope,
Believing that one day he'll break through.
For the young man with substance abuse and trauma,
The path may be rough and steep.
But he knows deep down inside,
That he dares to keep.
So he'll push through the trials,
And find the strength to move on,
Every day offers new possibilities,
And tomorrow will bring a new dawn.
Memories That Fade
What have we lost, the choices we chose to make? The love we once had. Life ain't easy, but the memories remain, and all these lessons will never fade away.
Fate spun us a web and we never looked back, they'll tell stories of us long after we pass. You were once my best friend, never imagined us hating one another in my life. I want my best friend back. Can't pretend the truth doesn't hurt, though our love ain't certain, and still can't accept the end, why did our relationship go up in flames? Pushed to the limits, I was left feeling betrayed, why did we make all the wrong decisions that sent us to the brink of destruction? Now, standing in the ruins of the past, my heart is heavy, haunted by all the moments we could've never made. Time ain't no toy, but its passing will destroy, it's a harsh reminder what once was won't stay, cling to the memories before they fade away.
What Drew Me Away
My heart was beating like a hammer
trying to stifle my desire,
for I could not let go of the connection we had shared.
The way we laughed, the way our eyes met,
the way we talked of all the things we'd never forget,
was like a flame that I had to suppress.
I knew I could never tell you how I felt,
so instead of running, I watched from a distant shore
as you chose other people, and my heart was sore.
I try my best to accept that our story will never be,
but deep in my heart, I hold those memories.
Our love and connection drew me in and I secretly held on,
for though my heart aches, it's held close to me in song.
Miss You Best Friend
Alone with no one to care, my loneliness wells up in despair. My best friend is gone and there's no one around. There's no one left here on which to confide.
Grief overwhelms me, yonder and near. Thoughts of the past bring on a tear. I want the one who used to be, but no solace can set me free.
Silence surrounds me, friends are far away. Painful memories haunt my days. No shared smiles and no gentle touch. Loneliness is harder than it seems so much.
Without me by his side,
I'm sad and heartbroken
I yearn for what was there before
Longing for comfort more and more.
Until You Return
I used to sometimes hate you around at times,
With the annoying stuff you used to do, it was such a climb.
But time has a funny way of changing our views,
Now I miss you almost to the point where I don't know how much longer I can survive.
Those moments we shared, I took them for granted,
I thought they were annoying, but now they're enchanted.
The things that used to bother me, now bring me joy,
And not being with you anymore, I cannot employ.
I long for those days when we were together,
Laughing and talking through all kinds of weather.
Now I see that I should have appreciated every minute,
Because being apart from you, it's just not gonna fit.
So here's my confession, my dear old friend,
I miss you more than I can pretend.
Those annoying things you used to do,
Now make me appreciate everything that was you.
Alone and deserted, I feel so low,
Thought I had it all, people to know.
But little did I know, I was wrong,
And now my dreams of gold are gone.
I sit here, like a lone ranger,
Depressed and waiting for a rescue stranger.
My once busy life now feels so frail,
My woes are like a never-ending tale.
I thought I had friends, people to call,
But now I see, they were like leaves in fall.
They fell off, and left me behind,
To wander alone, and lost to find.
I keep searching, for that glimmer of hope,
Something to help me climb the slippery slope.
But all I find is silence and despair,
Leaving me feeling lost, with no one to care.
So here I am, waiting for a savior,
Someone to rescue me from this behavior.
Help, someone, help me, I'm lost and alone
No home to call my own, no place to roam
No family left to turn to, I am on my own
My next move is unclear, the path unknown
I already lost the other half of me
The pain and sadness are all I can see
Depressed all the time, I can't break free
From this never-ending cycle, please help me
I feel hopeless, with nowhere to go
But in this darkness, a glimmer of hope.
I am Keegan Mosby,
Not liked much by society,
I spend my days making others joyful,
My happiness, however, can be quite deceitful.
I act as though nothing's wrong,
Yet deep down, I'm lost and torn,
Hiding my emotions from everyone,
I don't want others to know what I'm going through, anyone and everyone.
I feel as though I'm a waste,
A vacant space without a purpose or place,
My loneliness gets hard to disguise,
I'm just trying to help others before my demise.
The fear of being alone consumes me,
Leaving my thoughts to be empty,
I'll continue to help anyone and anything that needs my aid,
It'll bring my true emotions at bay, please don't be dismayed.
I am Keegan Mosby,
Struggling to find my joy, I ask "Why me?"
I didn't know how hard it would be,
When you departed and left me free,
Free from your love, care, and attention,
I miss you dearly, without any mention.
Every day feels like a never-ending battle,
My mind can't cope with the emotional rattle,
I thought I could handle the weight of your absence,
But I was wrong, it's too much for my resilience.
The struggle gets harder, as time moves on,
The pain feels sharper, like a lethal brawn,
I try to fake it, put on a brave face,
But deep down, I am entirely misplaced.
I'm scared I won't make it, that's the truth,
My heart is broken, my will need a boost,
I wish you were here to calm my fear,
And lend me your shoulder, so I can shed my tears, But unfortunately, you're gone, and I'm in despair.
Methamphetamine, I never thought we'd meet,
But here I am, shattered and weak.
At first, you were just something to try,
But soon I found myself hooked and high.
You numbed my pain and brought me relief,
But little did I know, you were a thief.
You stole my happiness and my best friend,
And left me in a world that seems to never end.
You made me believe I was better off dead,
And filled my mind with thoughts I never said.
You promised to solve all my problems with ease,
But instead, you brought me to my knees.
Now, I see the damage you've done,
And know that this battle cannot be won.
I was once a happy boy before you came,
But now I am nothing but a broken man, filled with shame.
I can't believe I let addiction take over me
Like a silent thief in the night, it crept stealthily
I thought I was in control, oh so foolishly
But now I see the truth and it hurts so deeply
It started with a small indulgence, just one shot, But soon enough, it became a daily trip My mind and body craved it, I couldn't resist
And before I knew it, my life was a mess
I pushed away loved ones, lost my job, my home
All for the sake of that addiction's clone
I thought it was my friend, but it was my foe
Taking everything from me and not letting go.
I'm sorry that I failed you,
In all the things I didn't do.
My heart aches to make it right,
To bring back the bond between us, bright.
One mistake led us down this path,
Filled my world with regret and wrath.
I hate that it broke what we had,
Leaving me feeling lost and sad.
My mind is chaos, my life a mess,
My mentality is not at its best.
The hurt of your hate, I feel every day,
My life is so catastrophic, in every way.
James, I need you more than ever,
To heal what's broken, to make it better.
For all the things that I didn't do,
I'm sorry, James, and I'm begging you.
Please forgive me, let's start anew,
Our bond is stronger, our love is renewed.
I'll make it right, I'll make it true,
James, I need you, I truly do.
Dear Sister Kim,
Dear sister, since day one, You've been real, never done. You saved me when I was lost, By my side, no matter the cost.
You feel more like a family, Than those who share my ancestry. Your positive influence on my mental health, Is a true testament to your wealth.
I appreciate all you do for me, And hope you know how much you mean to me
Tick tock, the clock moves on
As I struggle to fix what is wrong
I try and try with all my might
Yet I cannot seem to make things right
My flaws are like a broken vase
Pieces scattered all over the place
I pick them up, but they slip again
And I realize that I cannot mend
Tick tock, the time keeps ticking
As I feel my resolve slipping
I wish I had the strength to be
The person I was meant to be
But for now, I sit and stare
As life moves on, without a care
Tick tock, the clock is still ticking
As I struggle with my failing
But who knows what tomorrow could bring
Perhaps a chance to fix everything
Until then, I will keep on trying
Tick-tock, the clock never stops flying.
Life changes, sometimes it hurts,
We think we've hit the jackpot and then it reverts.
The best day of our life becomes a nightmare,
And everything we thought we knew just isn't fair.
We try to breathe, we try to cope,
But the pain is real, it's hard to hope.
Life goes on, but it's not the same,
Without you here, it's just not the game.
I miss your smile, your laugh, your touch,
I miss the feeling that we loved it so much.
But life goes on, and so must we,
Learning to live in this new reality.
Learning how to live in this reality is hard,
The challenges we face can leave us scarred.
We try to make sense of the world we see,
But often the answers remain a mystery.
Life can be tough and unfair,
Leaving us with little to spare.
We strive to make our mark on this earth,
But sometimes that seems like little more than a dearth.
It's difficult to navigate this existence,
With so many obstacles and resistance.
We struggle to find our place in this land,
Often feeling like we're sinking in quicksand.
We seek answers to the questions we pose,
But sometimes the answers just leave us in woe.
It's easy to feel lost and uncertain,
Trapped in a world that's always in motion.
I wish we could go back
To our honeymoon phase
Where we laughed and loved
In so many different ways
Those were some of the happiest days
When the sun shines a little brighter
And the birds sang a little sweeter
And our love was a little tighter
But now I'm feeling down and gloomy
As our love has lost its spark
It's taking a toll on my mental health
And I'm afraid it'll leave a permanent mark
You're still my favorite person in the world
And the one who's given me
The greatest memories I could ever ask for
Together, we were meant to be
So let's try to rekindle that flame
And bring back the love we had
For in each other's arms is where we belong
And our love will never go bad
Lost in a Maze
I wander through the passageway of stone,
Fumbling blindly, lost and alone.
My hands search for a path,
But all I find are dead ends and traps.
The way ahead is a cloud of mist,
And all my hopes and dreams were dismissed.
I care not for the world outside,
And in this maze, I choose to hide.
In desperation, I reach for a fix,
Hardcore drugs to numb the tricks.
Pain and sorrow ebb away,
As I disappear into the haze.
No light ahead, no end in sight,
I wander through the night.
Lost in a maze of my own making,
With no desire for a future in the waking.
My stomach used to ache,
From the butterflies that swarmed,
Just for you, my heart would quake,
With emotions that warmed.
But now those butterflies have turned to stone,
And left me feeling heavier than before,
The weight of their absence was not easily borne,
As I try to move on from what was once more.
The memories of love and passion,
Linger on like a bittersweet ghost,
A haunting stillness, a quiet sensation,
Of all that was gained and lost.
My stomach no longer flutters,
But the ache remains within,
A reminder of what once mattered,
And how love's journey can begin.
So I'll cherish those moments of joy,
And let the butterflies rest in stone,
Knowing that even when things destroy,
New life can still be grown.
I used to think I had it all planned out
The future was so bright, my dreams no doubt
But as I waited and looked ahead
Things began to change instead
My hope was replaced by dread
My young heart filled with dread
As life pulled me down and I hit the ground
I lost all hope and awaited death
I used to always look up at the sky
Dreaming of what I could become and why
But now it's all a waste of time
I just wait for the end of the line
My hope was replaced by dread
My young heart filled with dread
As life pulled me down and I hit the ground
I lost all hope and awaited death
I'm too tired to even try
Life has tried, but I can't
I was so hopeful, I was so sure
I believed this world had a cure
But my doubts have been growing like a weed in the soil
And I'm just waiting here, for my death to arrive
I used to look forward to the future,
Hopeful for what it might nurture,
But now I only wait for death,
Longing for my final breath.
Though I've tried so hard, I failed in my quest
Now I'm left with only this empty nest
Days are dark and long, just a drifting boat on the sea
And I'm dying here every night and day, silently
I used to think I had it all,
But life has come and made me fall
Darkness lurks deep in my soul, death is just the toll
I used to make plans that'd send chills down my spine
My future was bright and seemed to be so divine
A life of fortune, joy, and peace
A dream without end, my life just wouldn't cease
But all that's in the past now, I can't take it back
I think I've played my part, my time is up for sure
I used to look forward to the future, hopeful for what it might nurture
But now I only wait for death, longing for my final breath
I had hopes and dreams and I'd work night and day
I'd never give up and just keep on my way
But still, something has changed out of nowhere
My will was broken, and my heart was everywhere
But all that's in the past now, I can't take it
Amidst the crashing waves we'll go, With you, my heart, I'll brave the foe. The tempest's roar, our hearts will soar, Together, we'll reach the distant shore.
I'd rather swim in stormy seas with you, than sail calm waters with anyone new. For in your eyes, I see the light, Guiding me through the darkest night.
So let the winds of change blow strong, Together, we'll rise above the throng. And as we face the stormy seas, Our love will guide us to our destiny
I used to never be this way,
A happy boy with dreams to play,
But now I am a broken man,
Lost in an empty wasteland.
I used to look forward to the future,
I used to think I had it all,
But life has come and made me fall,
Convinced that I have lost everything,
A shattered soul with no ll.
From the inside out I am destroyed,
A broken shell that can't be deployed,
No longer repairable, I fear,
Forever lost in a sea of tears.
My essence is immersed in darkness,
A force that holds me fast,
A constant fight for command,
As fear of oblivion lasts.
The burden of existence,
A weight that drags me low,
An agony unbearable,
Pains that refuse to go.
In the absence of hope or light,
Trapped with no way to flee,
The days seem like eternal nights,
A march towards defeat I see.
My desire for joy and elation,
Slowly fades into the void,
With no way to push ahead,
My spirit, now, feels destroyed.
I surrender to life's course,
I let it take me in its hold,
For in this never-ending struggle,
I see no exit to unfold.
My soul is consumed by darkness, a relentless weight that drags me down. A constant battle for purpose and control, with fear of being consumed by the void. The heaviness of life becomes unbearable, a burden that seems impossible to shed. I see no sign of hope, no light to guide me, and I feel trapped with no escape. Every day feels like an endless night, a slow and steady march toward defeat. I have lost my will to fight, and I feel ready to surrender to the darkness consuming me. My desire for joy and happiness is fading, as I see no way to move forward in this eternal night. I surrender to the course of life and let it take me, for in this endless struggle I find no way out of this.
Dear Best Friend,
Is this it, near the end,
At the end of the road,
The time has come,
To bid adieu to this abode.
Mistakes were made,
The journey was long,
But now my time has come,
And I've got to move on
I know I'll be judged,
For all that I've done,
But I'll face the consequences,
When my time has come.
When the sun sets,
And darkness fills the space,
Just tell those who cared,
I've found my peace in this place.
So let me go,
And let me fly free,
For it's time for me to depart,
And leave behind this legacy.
When we started our relationship,
Love was abundant like a blooming garden,
Care was present in every little action,
And perfection seemed we had found.
With each passing day, things changed,
The judgment crept in like a dark shadow,
My imperfections are all you see,
The love and care slowly became hollow.
The respect we shared once seems lost,
The once-perfect bond now seems fragile,
Where once we stood together,
Now we stand apart like a broken tile.
I wish we could go back to the start,
Where love and care filled our hearts,
And imperfections were not a big deal,
Where respect was present from the very start.
But alas, time and circumstances have changed,
And now we stand here estranged,
The love and care fade away with each day,
In the hope that we can find a new way.
I wondered what it could be, That caused our love to fall apart, And then it hit me, It was you who broke my heart.ll
I thought you were my forever, My soulmate, and my guiding light, But now I know, you were just a passerby, Who left me in the darkness of the night.
I didn't think it would be you, Who would be the reason behind my tears, But now I see, it's time to start new, And put aside all my fears.
So here I stand, broken, and alone, Hoping I can survive.
Our love once burned bright, but fate intervened, Tearing us apart that fateful night. It took time to realize what had been, You were the reason my heart took flight.
I thought you were the one I'd always adore, But now I see you were just a passerby. It hurts, but I'll move on and find what's in store, And leave the darkness of our love to die.
I thought nothing could keep us apart,
Our love is like a flame, burning bright,
But fate had other plans for our hearts,
And tore us apart that fateful night.
I wondered what could it be,
That caused our love to fall apart,
And then it hit me,
It was you who broke my heart.
I thought you were my forever,
My soulmate and my guiding light,
But now I know, you were just a passerby,
Who left me in the darkness of the night.
I didn't think it would be you,
Who would be the reason behind my tears,
But now I see, it's time to start anew,
And put aside all my fears.
So here I stand, broken, and alone,
Hoping I can survive.
I got caught in a storm, but love it seemed to carry me on
My heart kept beating 'til I found you, I'm a sailor out on the sea
Everything I ever wanted, you gave it to me
I'd rather swim in stormy seas with you,
Then sail calm waters with anyone new
For in your eyes, I see the light,
Guiding me through the darkest night
Without warning or control, The tide pulled me along
But the winds of love sent by fate, Have led me to where I belong
And when I look into your eyes, All my questions just fade away
My faith in love will never die- It grows stronger with every moment together
I'd rather swim in stormy seas with you,
Then sail calm waters with anyone new
I’ve been through treacherous seas, Felt the darkness around me
It’s taken away my peace, and time has left me weary
But when I met you it was like a break in the storm
An island in the night, Feelin’ so warm
[Chorus]
I'd rather swim in stormy seas with you,
Then sail calm waters with anyone new.
In your eyes, I see the light,
Guiding me through the darkest night.
Let the waves come crashing down, Let the winds of change blow strong
In times of doubt and fear, You keep steering me along
I'm sailing through this journey with you by my side
On a silver shore of love, That never dies
I'd rather swim in stormy
From the shore to the endless sea,
My heart and mind were meant to be
Loyal to the promise that I swore to you and me
Our spirit is invincible, rock-steady in the shore breeze
Through this love, our story grows
I'd rather swim in stormy seas with you,
Then sail calm waters with anyone new
In your eyes, I see the light,
Guiding me through the darkest night
Your voice shines sweetly like a lullaby,
Surrounding me like a summer sky
Forever drifting in our love's embrace,
Unrestricted in this timeless space
I'd rather swim in stormy seas with you,
Then sail calm waters with anyone new
In your eyes, I see the light,
Guiding me through the darkest
Life is too short to waste time on fake people. Surround yourself with genuine souls who lift you up and inspire you to be your best self
