Throwback

Can You Hear Me

Don’t turn away
To look back again
Don’t say goodbye
Then act like nothing happened
Don’t break my heart
Stay apart
Then return to say hello

[Chorus:]
Hello, hello
Can you hear me now
It hurts me to be apart
I’m walking away
But it’s breaking my heart
Hello, hello
Can you hear me wow
Hello, hello
My heart’s screaming now

It breaks my heart
When you talk to me
So I try to stay apart
And you still can’t see
The pain you caused me
Can you hear me

[Chorus:]
Hello, hello
Can you hear me now
It hurts me to be apart
I’m walking away
But it’s breaking my heart
Hello, hello
Can you hear me wow
Hello, hello
My heart’s screaming now

My life disappears
Bit by bit
Everyday I’m throwing
Some sorta fit
You passed through my life
At the blink of my eyes
And once I opened them
What a surprise

You were gone

[Chorus:]
Hello, hello
Can you hear me now
It hurts me to be apart
I’m walking away
But it’s breaking my heart
Hello, hello
Can you hear me wow
Hello, hello
My heart’s screaming now

Note: I’m back! I wanted to say thank you to all of my readers, I didn’t make any posts in January but I continued to get traffic every single day:

I needed a break to figure out what I wanted to post next. I realized I only had 11 posts for 2005?! I discovered I have two full notebooks and countless loose leaf pages of writing for that year. Most of it is juvenile teenage angst, which is likely why I skipped it years ago. However, it was all a part of my journey as an author, so here’s age 12-13 for me!

Mine

June 1st, 2011

The idea of hazel eyes staring into mine
Like they once had before
Is enough to make the hours slow
The realization of the past
And all that it contains
Is still enough to give me hope
No idea if you ever felt the same for me
But my mind has its own reality
And my heart beats to its own drum
I can’t be controlled
I can’t be abused
Trying to leave me broken and bruised
But I’m not
I just can’t be
Someone slipped out of my memories
The idea how I felt before
The lust, the temptation, the allure
You can’t leave my mind
I’m feeling so blind
Just give me some sign
Do you want to be mine?

Note: I’ve jumped around with my poetry, posting between recent and past. I had paused sharing from 2011 because I reached the poems where my ex-husband and I started dating again after we broke up in high school. Since our divorce, I never fully dealt with those feelings and honestly tried to suppress them. However, they still surfaced and made it into my writing from time to time. Last month I found out he passed away, and I’ve been sorting through a lot of emotions. This feels like the right time to pause my 2025 work and share some throwback content instead.

Rest in peace, Thomas (11/26/1991-08/08/2025)
