Memory of you….

How do you say goodbye to a memory
A memory that is determined to last?
It's not a question of you being near or far
The time just went by too fast.

I still wake up in the middle of the night thinking
I'll see you in the morning's light
As I turn to caress your hair and I find you're not there
My mind goes back in time to when we were a pair

In my daily routines, it is you I still see
In my car, on the street, and wishing you here next to me
Doing things the way you liked to see them
Still, your the smile in what I wear, the eyeliner I apply with care
And sadly, yes… I can still feel your fingers caressing my hair

It's so hurtful these games my mind continues to play
My dream, my fantasy is to see you sometime soon, how about today?
The signs are there as plain as day:
No way to enter my past
Too late to turn back and change it
Wishing for my heart to come back
Wishing for someone to slap me awake
Please help me go back, i made a mistake......
Screaming inside and sleeping at the bottom of the lake
I'm driving myself mad as I re-awake here without you.....

THE BOTTLE WHISPERS.....................

The bottle whispers “take me, be free”
My mind screams “get me out of here before I go mad”
I wrapped my self in your memory
It felt so cold there

In wake of anger, rage, and confused love
The voices don’t stop…. “live, don’t let him win”
My mind is weak and I want to take the bottles advice
The tower has fallen, my world is not the same

I used to adore you, I used to wake for you
It’s taken a while for your desire to be reality
Isn’t it sad your not around to see your protégé
How well she has taken your advice, how well she learned

Now I see what you mean by being ‘special’
How nice it is to be mad inside
For no one to know till they get close
There are no nightmares, only life

Someday my dear, I’ll have a chance to let you see what you created
I’ll be near you, and have a chance to teach you
I’ll show you how to enjoy the pain
It will be your turn to see me smile a little smile
WELCOME TO THE MEMORY CORNER............

So you want to know what I’m thinking
Want to know what is going through my mind
This way my dear, this way to madness, anger, rage, confusion
Don’t forget the crucifix or whatever makes you feel ‘safe’

Don’t worry baby, I haven’t known you long enough
Your not part of this……….yet
However I do have confidence you can make it here
You will prove to be like the rest, yes darling, it’s inherent – you’re a man

See all dark murky blood of old pain?
Who am I that you see here – well, not even I know
I don’t have a road map only this advice:
Don’t get too close
Don’t ask me to believe you love me
Don’t disappear on me
And.. its too late to ask you to never know me

My sweet, never trust anyone
Only trust that you will drag me down
And.. ohhh you won’t mean to
No one ever does, no, not sweet wonderful you

Take your place here in my mind
Take me over, and over and over
And if your really good, you will have me almost trust you care
I’ll tell you something, be careful for what you wish for

You can not change me
Don’t buy me flowers to show you’re different
Having you for myself in secret is my drug
Don’t become what I live for, stay what I need

I’m sorry, did you trip?
Was last night too much for you not want more?
Allow me to open the way for my private club
Here is your paint brush, sorry, were fresh out of sane colors

I knew you would make it.. its going to be awhile, make yourself comfy…..
HEAVEN HELP YOU

Heaven help you
You caught my attention finally
I’m too complicated for you baby
But, as you wish, ill be yours for a while

I’ll be your drug for now
I’ll hurt for you occasionally to make you fee like a man
You can tell me you care, I’ll believe you
Breaking down is easy, I’m in your bed – that’s all that matters

Take me any way you want
Bend me any way you want
Do me any time you want
I’ll be yours for now… until you bore me

T’was meant that I be your drug and your breathing be mine
To feel you fall on me loosing control, yes that’s my drug
To hear you calling the creator, yes, that’s my drug
To let you think you control me only to see how well I control you – its my life’s blood

Heaven help you my dear boy
You will never know another like me
I’ll make you hate me only to feel lost without my touch
I’ll make you hate yourself for wanting me so much

Voices.. Voices....

I'm hearing voices.. "shut up!"
They keep repeating... "stop it!"
as i hold myself i say.. "I'm ok...I'm ok...I'm ok"
over and over again as i shake
in my mind as i lie awake...

Thoughts floating from here to there
Visions repeating from neither here nor there
as i hold myself i say.. "I'm ok...I'm ok...I'm ok"
over and over again as the blood drips
down my face and into my lips...

Trying to think... Is this me??
wondering.. Am i screaming??
as i hold myself i say.. "I'm ok...I'm ok...I'm ok"
starting to yawn.. time to lay back down
Tears falling, another pill bottle is empty now....

begining to feel heavy and unable to move
darkness setting it slowly...
as my arms drop and no longer able to hold myself i think.. "I feel ok... i feel ok.. I am ok.."
my eyes are closing and I'm feeling like i'm floating
My last thoughts are my kids, "they will be better off without me choking..."
my children will be ok, my children will be ok.......they will the forget the pain that was me.

Come Dance with me..
In the waters of fury, in the light of astonomys history. Come dance with me as we breath the essence of eachother and remember the aroma's of old, of new and of always. Tantalizing are the thoughts and visions that such remembrance brings about.

falling.. falling..
tears .. I hate them
as they fall so do I
little by little.. day by day
sola con su espritu
sola en olvido
sola con su amore
me voy a veces en la playa
la plyaita eres mi casita co tuyo
bailar contigo con la musica del norte
bailar contigo con la fuerza del sur
escuchame, mirama, amorame

ya me desperierte.. solo y siempre solita
Yes, these are the same two kid's.. my babies... :-)  Jessica in Feb '2001 and Andrew's Kindergarten picture taken in October '2000
Time in my mind
freezes and holds still
for a moment in held your gaze
i was free from this maze
i carried your smile
felt you heart
heaven for a moment
felt it, and now in torment
bleeding from the reality that has hit me
closing my eyes, my heart, yes my doors
sitting in the darkness of my mind
shutters flashing, movie on re-wind, heart on pause
not understanding it's cause
memories of a psuedo-past
emmotions are at half-mast
space next to me as empty as this glass before me
never full, never empty, hardly visible
silver and dull hurts the skull
gnashed and gnarled, the cancer grows
blackness and death...the soul crys
river red, flesh dead, blood dries
stillness of pain, staleness of movement
ashes to ashes, dust to dust
of wence we came, return we must
hand stretched out, finding not even the sky
the last breath, the final cry..............

The marriage

Yes my love, I will marry you
Set the date already my dear
I will marry you because you don’t have my heart
But you have my attention
You can never hurt me
I am not in love with you
But I like you,I respect you, adore you, And I admire you

I will marry you for our common views on sex
For the fun we have had
For the fun we will continue to have for the rest of our lives
I will never cheat on you without your permission
And will always ask if you want to watch or join
I will bring him or her home for you to share

Yes I will marry you because you can not hurt me
You don’t have my heart, but you have my attention
We will dance till we die, cum till we cry and never never lie
I will love you as my equal and never my superior……

-Selena Acevedo-Razo 1/12/02
Enough

Never close enough
Yet too close
Never loved enough
Yet I love too much

In the darkest corner I can find, I bury all within my mind.  Don’t ask what I’m thinking, unless you want to see the tears.  This depression has been my companion for life long years.

It’s actions I need to look at, and still my mind wanders to the past and the hurt.  No, he’s not hurting me and he is kind to me.  He acts loving, he shows he cares.  But, he is still looking to see what else is there….because there is always something better.

Enough…. I will never be enough for him.  For anyone.. another thought to put away.  A face to reality – please save it for another day.. I really can not take anymore.  As it will eventually lead to an ending.  I look to the future and realize that I have only to go to another man’s bed.  A new someone to care for, another to hope for.. another memory to begin and only to end.

The stake in my existence doesn’t leave anymore.  It is with me always, like the cancerous depression, like the hurt, like the number of men in my life that will prove that I’m not enough of a person to want it all with.

No one knows my thoughts or feelings because I won’t show them.  I’ll show I care, but I wont show my fear or my insecurity.  In silence I weep and in voice I laugh, I joke.. I do whatever it takes to hide the pain of immortal loneliness and the complete absence of true bliss.  

I am happy for the moment and still I find myself sobbing inside in the reality of an eventual and inevitable end.  It is not what I want, it is just what will be. I’ll never be enough for anyone, and possibly not even enough for me.

I watch him sleep sometimes.  Look at him so that I can remember the face, the eyes, the curve of his lips….  and what it was like for him to look at me without anger and hate. For him to not be irate when I show my affection, and my appreciation.  Remember what it was like for him to listen to me and not tell me I’m stupid.  I want to remember the kindness he shows now, I want to remember it when it was good and he cared for more than just his pleasure

My mind is weak
My body tired
The eyes bloodshot
And the soul is on fire
Eternal flame it was called
Eternal pain is what it is...
This humanity of life is full of much strife

And I'm tired..
just so tired..
Day to day I live
Day to day I give
Tiredly.. endlessly. forgivingly

And for what?
To receive more pain
Pain of the reality in knowing
That there is no gain of anything tranquil
Stair by stair I go upon which there is a load
Upon my shoulders
Upon my heart
Dying in breathing
A little more lost than I was the day before

Hope.... they say is the driving force
I must be full of it
To have not accomplished the thing I tried a year ago
To rest for eternity, to burn as I burn here
They say its selfish to want such a thingThey say its wrong to do such a thing
How wrong can it be if it helps humanity?
To cleanse it of what is me. how can it be wrong?

My children need me..Yet, I am not really a part of their lives.
