As I lay down another eve, alone without you near. I pray a lighted star shines down upon you and that you see, Despite the darkness and the pain, how much you truly meant to me. As the shadows flee my room, and your face escapes my grasp, I hold onto hope that the love that once was shone.. will one day spark within you at last. In my dreams.. you are there, tears in your eyes and a broken heart. Darkness may have fallen upon the bright Angel that I knew. But there will always be a light above, to guide you through. You saw joy within me, and desired it for your own, And I freely gave, because I cared for you so. But now my joy is gone, and I cry alone. I know you have moved on, But one day you'll look back, once the anger has passed, and you'll remember that summer we had, and may your eyes light up again, as the night gives way to dawn. I tried to heal your broken heart, but in so doing I lost myself. There is no one I have ever loved more true, as the greatest sacrifice I...

Angel Your darkness ends, where my light begins. And my pain recedes, As your warmth descends. A broken path, our current place Lost souls connect, through time and space. And as you sleep,  I am awake. And as you dream.  My heart it aches. For Within your eyes   I've seen your soul And deeper still  I'm gently pulled  You came into my world  when I thought I was done. My heart longs to stay  while my inhibitions say run. Being pulled to your beauty  as a call from within. Wanting you more   with each breath of the wind. ~TJJ 1/24/2019

Another Day. The hours pass. As night grows near. Another day, without you here. I wait again to hear your voice. Those words, I long to hear you say. Knowing I will be alone again another day. The stars shine down, without you, not as bright, But knowing we look up to the same night skies, Brings hope to these old tired eyes.  But the sun hides it shine, and clouds turn grey, As I sit here waiting another day. Wishing we were together in each others arms, Hoping each day you are free from harm. Knowing deep down we feel the same way. Gets me through another day. O’er the passage of time, And miles apart. Nothing has removed you from my heart. While through the storms, your heart may sway, My love is still here another day. To know someone else has the one I want, Yet does not appreciate your loving grace. Makes me long so much to take his place. And for you I will always pray. That perhaps this too shall pass ...

I sit alone. Wanting to be loved. Wanting to know to whom I belong. Praying to find the one, With whom I will grow strong. Within a dream, Among fields of green, A light shines down, and upon a breeze, I heard a voice. "she is the one." I stand on a hill, she walks up to me. Behind her are children, which I see three. She takes my hands, looks in my eyes. She says "I love you" Kisses me and I awake to cry. Within two days I receive a call out of the blue, and my heart is full of joy to hear her voice so true. I stand with her on a winters night she grins from ear to ear, her smile so bright. We are to have a child and it feels so right. Together we stand brought together by faith tested by time and trials to come. In the summer I profess my love and marry her undernearth the mid noon sun. I watch her by the water, with our little girl. My heart is full, knowing she is the one. Later that day. I look above to see a brigh...

McMuffin I went to buy some breakfast, and had my items all laid out. I went to grab my wallet, and I then began to pout. For when I searched my pockets, Amiss was my debit card, And as I looked upon my food with hunger, I felt like a retard. So as I walked toward the door, a grumble in my belly and eyes toward the floor, A random man overheard my disgust and placed his hand on my shoulder and said if you must, share my food sir, I am glad to assist! and offered me an egg McMuffin, and said "I insist!" My luck had changed and as he walked away smiling, And I bit into the sandwich, to find a crunch so compelling. I said WTF! as I quickly bit in. What kind of freak, covers a McMuffin in onion! Damnit! By Todd Jumper

I want to be the one to stroke your hair to touch your face but I can no longer be that one to wipe your tears in this time and place. I want to be there to pick you up to end your pain to keep you warm through the coldest rain but I just seem to cause you more harm that I cannot explain I must let you go to fix your dreams I must let you go to heal this sting that my selfish words have caused and my ignorance brings I must let you go to heal your heart I must let you go to set you free or it will tear us apart and I don't believe that is to be I must let you go so I can grow and find my strength and perhaps I will find a greater purpose behind all this angst I feel like I am losing my closest friend so I must let you go before that ends. I can not destroy you or myself, but must be apart so we can mend. So I must let go and move on to save me and you. even though the future is not certain I must trust myself and...
