Can You Hear Me

January 4th, 2005

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!

Same Puzzle, Different Box

August 17th, 2025

Staying in your life felt like solving a puzzle
When none of the pieces seem to fit
The shape appears to match without lining up
And I’m stubborn so it takes a lot for me to quit
The puzzle was hindering as the years passed by 
But I was determined for so long to make it work
Now the puzzle sits like a story on my shelf
Because I was the only one doing the legwork

Note: This was actually the last poem that I finished this year. I’ve started many, and I will post later next year once they’re complete. For now, I’m going to pause while I draft my yearly recap and then dig through my old poems to continue sharing things I wrote in the past. I hope you all have a great New Year!

Unfinished Business

August 11th, 2025

Not sure what you got out of this
When you never wanted more
But you still wanted to talk to me
And not close the door
I have to fill in the blanks
Bridge communication you wouldn’t say
Trying to figure out what happened
When you asked me out for Valentine’s Day
Your eyes wouldn’t meet mine
Across the table at Leatherby’s
Maybe you were just lonely
I guess I’ll never know why you invited me
