Cuomo Cherry blossoms flow through the wind, Two figures sitting in the shadows One turns and whispers "Bye, bye, bye" The now lone figure looks at the sky A tear gliding down his face Cherry blossoms blowing into the distance The words echoing in his ears Rain trickles down on the floor The lone figure sits under a tree Cherry blossoms flow down the river The young man stares into the distance A reflection appears in the river, "Bye, Bye, Bye" lingers in the boy’s ears A cherry blossom makes the water ripple Leaving the figure alone again The rain dies down, Dew sitting on the cherry blossoms The lone figure walks down the road, Hearing "bye, bye, bye" in the distance Another figure stands in the distance, Cherry blossoms fallen upon him Whispering a gentle "There is no time to say good-bye." Cherry blossoms flow through the wind, A smile on the two figure’s faces A ray of sun upon them, There is no "bye, bye, bye." ------------------------------------ Hate What is that emotion you feel? The one that spins like a wheel Is it love or maybe hate? I just can’t seem to wait This thought I can’t shake Its as deep as the deepest lake Its you that I see when I wake My soul is about ready to break Love or Hate? What is my fate? These thoughts I see I keep them to me There is not much I can do But hope my dreams come true Yet I still seem to wonder If my life is going under I hope you don’t feel hate Because then it’ll be too late What would I be able to say When you walk my way? The thoughts that flood my head Is holding my soul by a thread The things I say, think, & do, I want them to be for you But yet these bad feelings come to be When I think that you could hate me I’m scared of getting that answer And its killing me like a cancer Just look at your smiling face Makes me want to win a race I want to care for you I know I really, really do Happiness floods my heart But it kills when we’re apart Does this feeling cross your mind Is it of the same kind? Or is it what I fear the most The one that haunts like a ghost Is it that feeling of hate That consumes your character trait ----------------------------- Heart By Derrick M. Cuomo The way you make me feel It makes me feel so real Those three words you say They take my pain away The love that you show me It makes me feel so free The way you touch my heart Sends my emotions off the chart I can’t help but to confess Your love makes me speechless It’s hard to describe how I feel for you It’s hard to believe why you do the things you do No word in existence can describe my joy It’s better than any single type of toy My writing doesn’t feel worthy of your eyes And I’m not telling you any lies I don’t feel good enough at all, Without you my world would fall I can’t seem to emphasize the words The ones I know you’ve heard They come straight from my heartflow But they don’t seem strong enough to show The true feelings that I feel The ones that make me feel real The love that I have for you is true And you’re in everything I do Its overwhelming me through and through I Love YOU --------------------------------- "Hidden Feelings" by Derrick M. Cuomo Why do I get caught in these emotions? Life is just one big confusion. And yet I can’t just see, Why that person means so much to me. My so-called friends seem to come and go And who am I to ruin this flow? How many will remain true, And how many would rather say "forget you?" The wanting I feel, The type that never seems to heal. None of this seems real, Why must this wanting be so surreal? The person I want, I might never get, But I’m not quite ready to give up yet I will try as hard as I can, Until I can hold that person’s hand No matter what I seem to do I still can’t seem to find you I hide my feelings from the world, That it is you I want to hold. I’m sure one day I’ll finally tell And it’ll get me out of this emotional hell. And so maybe when I look at your face, I can finally feel your warm embrace. As I continue to lie down in the breeze Waiting for that moment I want to seize That wonderful smile, Is it really that worth while? From the dawn of every day, I hide that thing I just can’t say. This hidden love that I keep, Makes me sometimes weep With this guiding light, I shall keep up this fight For Now It Seems, That I must stick to my dreams A Passion and Love that I want to set free A Passion and Love that means so much to me I wish that person could just see Of what we can truly be I want to show that I really care, But I don’t know if I should share This truth that I hold in my head Keeps me awake lying in my bed The pain I feel shall one day end As we could one day become more than just friends This chance I don’t want to miss, So we can share that one kiss As I watch you from afar It makes me wonder who you really are. Were you sent to keep me strong? Or are all of my emotions wrong? I can’t decide what to do But all of these emotions point to you I think my life would be really great If you and me shared the same fate The words "I love you" don’t mean enough Because life right now is really rough But every time I see your smile, It keeps me going for a while I live off this hope, Just so I can cope. I miss you so much But do you know that I feel such? These emotions that I feel Still seem unreal I write and write and hope to one day show What only I really know If only I could find a way To tell you one day And feel that glee Of Telling you how much you truly mean to me --------------------------- Hope My heart is in pieces My soul is broken Crushed by the waves The waves of sadness Running through me like an ocean My mind tumbling down Down like a bomb A bomb exploding throughout my very being Rain falls down upon me Wiping away all happiness and hope Leaving only pain and loneliness Feelings stronger than the mightiest weapon Terror remains within my soul Doomed to be ever alone? Is it Destiny? Or maybe Fate? This terror that now shows on my face. I look in the mirror and emptiness is all I can see Lost in the shadows I seem to be, No hope for me and no rest at all I’m ripped apart at the very threads, Sadness, the only thing going through my head The night sky pierced by the silver shine A silver shine made by a moon so full it shines like the sun A light that goes through the hollow shell The hollow shell that was once my body The light giving a radiance, a radiance stronger than the sun What is it about this light? This light that makes my empty eyes shine ever so bright? A feeling that makes me feel free Free from the dooms of my own Destiny What is this light that makes me so bright Bright as a beacon in the night My pain and sadness start to fade away A reflection of the moon in my very eye What is this feeling I feel in me This feeling that makes me feel ever so free Even with my life falling apart And my very being being torn out, I can’t help but to see this shimmer of hope A shimmer to brighten up my darkest days And even though all else has failed, This new hope will help me prevail. Even though I am still torn, My Heart and Soul broken beyond repair... Is there truly any hope for me? -------------------------------------- "Lost In Transition (Time Stands Still)" by Derrick M. Cuomo Time stands still My mind is running in circles I am lost in a transition Nowhere to go Nowhere to look Nowhere to hide Stuck in a world A world inside myself A world I can’t escape from A constant struggle A struggle of light against dark, Good against Evil My mind split down the middle, Which is real? Which is fake? A gentle laugh, A joyous song Constantly heard in the distance A dark cackle, A deathly tune Rivals the joyous song The lights cast a shadow The shadow seems to fade A person with no identity What emotions does it feel? Happy and glad, Distress and wrath A hollow complexion on his face No life within his eyes No movement in his body A puddle ripples next to him A reflection of a man His very soul With bright eyes Life in his face A joyous creature Which one was? Which one is? Life or Life taken A mysterious figure Clothed in white Gives a gentle kiss The doll-like creature falls Falls into that very puddle The puddle of his soul The sun shines down Shining on the two figures Both full of life They kneel there together Looking into each other’s eyes All pain swept away Time stands still My mind is done running The transition is over Your bright eyes staring at me Into my very soul Make me rise whole -------------------------- My Mind What is it that goes through my mind? What is it that haunts me all the time? A feeling that makes me so lonely, A feeling that makes me weep so strongly What is it that makes me so weak? What is it that makes me so open? An intrusion that only causes pain An intrusion that will soon cause death What is it that makes this feeling so strong? What is it that makes this feeling live on? Emotions that run skin deep Emotions that poison my every cell What is it that won’t let me fight back? What is it that won’t let me live right? A life that cannot go on A life that is not really strong What is it that makes me doubt myself? What is it that makes me doubt my heart? A soul torn by abuse and fear A soul that might not ever heal. ----------------------------------------- Pain By Derrick M. Cuomo No words can describe the pain, The grief in my heart, That now haunts me like a ghost All my current happiness, Shot to the fiery pits of hell A brief memory of you in my head It forces me to fight the tears As it floods every portion of my mind The wind blowing into the trees, calm and welcoming Reminds me of the way your hair does the same These emotions that linger on and on They make it seem like I can’t go on I’m fighting myself from within, Trying to break this confusion I’m hiding myself with lies and laughter Hoping not to lead myself to the slaughter It is you I want and you I cannot get Why didn’t I see this coming? Why am I always such the fool? I know there is nothing I can do To change the way you feel towards me I’m a freak and I know it But why hide the fact at the beginning? Why did you have to lead me on? And bring me threw such a cloud of lies? Why couldn’t it just be honest and true? There is nothing more to be said, But plenty more to be done You will always be in my heart and mind Even though you will not be by my side My feelings might never change for you And I know that part is so true --------------------------- Passion By Derrick M. Cuomo I sit here in a quiet room, Pondering on what is coming soon I pay attention to this And then I will pay attention to that But I still feel like I am lost There is so much I can say, So much I can do. I don’t think I’m lazy, My passion is just not here Today just hasn’t seemed real. My dreams… overwhelming My life… different I can’t seem to understand Why my passion is not here It is lost, lost within my heart. So much awaits me, But do I dare take the first step? Mt vision is getting cloudy, Do I still press on? I can see a light just ahead Is it somewhere safe I can tread? I feel it now, my passion is near No time to think, stumble, or fear My hope shall guide the way And a new passion I will feel every day I shall stay strong, From the dark of dusk until the light of dawn -------------------------------- Should I? By Derrick M. Cuomo As I sit here and think Millions of thoughts come to my head. They tell me what to say What to think and do At least they try to The only real way for me to speak To speak using my heart… Tiny arguments sprout throughout my head Telling me how to react to you and the things you do I come to a wall, Do I follow my head, sheltering myself from love? Making me feel safe as in a temporary oasis? Or will I listen to my heart, opening myself? Giving me a feeling of want, ridding me of loneliness? Should I take that chance? Should I show my true self so? Will I soar on the wings of love? Or hide in a corner, cowering in fear? Time is ticking… The time for this decision is coming near. Will I face it? Conquer it? Obliterate it? My heart says it holds the answers… "Love will conquer all" Should I risk everything? Should a friendship end? Or should I make it all seem fake? ----------------------------------- The Kiss It haunts my dreams, my every thought A kiss as sweet as honey Yet, as deadly as poison A kiss to fulfill a wish Yet, to break a heart A kiss to show they care Yet, to show they don’t care enough A kiss to awaken a once lost hope Yet, awakens a well known pain A kiss to show the truth Yet, the truth is the end A double-edge sword this kiss is, It haunts my dreams, my every thought ------------------------------------- The Path By Derrick M. Cuomo Walking down a long path A youth falls to his knees The heat beating down upon his back Sweat pouring down his face Alone, he is alone Lying on the path, Gasping for air Trying to stay awake Fatigue consumes his body Consciousness begins to slip His vision begins to blur His mouth becomes dry A young youth lying in the path He is alone, lying flat on his face No energy rushing through his body No life force, no will A gentle figure walks down the path He looks down upon the body He falls to his knees He strokes the face of the youth Three days of searching Three days of worry Three days to find the one he loves the most Three days to find his very heart and soul He gently puts the youth on his back He walks down the long path He falls to his knees But he gets back up He continues along the path Fatigue starts to hit But the love flows through his body A love to make him feel whole The journey continues Vultures all around The gentle figure holds the youth Held so gently as if a part of him The end is near, He will not give up The end is near, His love goes on The sun has set, He can still feel hope The sun has set, He can see the end He makes it home, Holding the youth He falls to his knees He lies the youth in bed Crawling on the floor, He tries to reach the bed Fatigue takes control And his eyes close Life continues going on, The sun has risen Both are alive The sun has risen -------------------------------- What? By Derrick M. Cuomo Millions of thoughts go threw my head As I start to prepare for bed A new decision everyday Which is the right way? What makes you love? What makes your heart fly like a dove? What makes you feel so free? But the next day stings like a bee? What makes my heart race, Whenever I see your smiling face? This feeling is so new, Is it really true? What gives me these crazy dreams? The ones that rip you up at the seams The beauty of your smile, It keeps me happy for a while What can I honestly say? What will take my pain away? What will give me the happiness I see you feel? The type that seems so, so surreal Your eyes show a gleam of confidence The opposite of my stupid hesitance What makes you so strong? What lets you sing a happy song? What guides you, In everything you do? What makes you better than me? What makes me want to flee? There is so much I want to say, But it must wait until another day My hesitance rips me apart Starting right with my heart I stare at the ceiling, Watching the fan spinning What is in store for me Do I really want to see? Will I stand strong? Will I sing a happy song? Will I know what to do? Will I know what is true? ---------------------------- "Who Am I?" Here I am again. Just like way back when. My life has seemed to halt And I am the one at fault New friend every day But they don’t care either way Who really cares about me? Those people I really can’t see I get lost in these petty feelings Just lying down staring at ceilings Who Am I? I just nod my head and sigh A state of confusion that I can’t comprehend Is there at least one really good friend? No matter what happens, I listen to everyone, Yet when it comes to me, they prefer good old fun How can they not see, That certain problems affect me. This river of friendship seems to run aground Or is it that it has just yet not been found? I lie under a tree and stare at the clouds Trying to avoid the pain-bringing crowds The bugs fly by and the wind is nice I guess for now, this shall have to suffice Who am I? The question lingers in my mind And yet, no matter how hard I try the answer I can’t find. Why are my thoughts so clouded when it comes to me, Should this be the way things ought to be? One day the answer will appear And I shall not shed a single tear. The ones who really care Will finally take the time to share Soon, very soon, I shall look at the moon I shall love those who love me And that is how it should be. ------------------------------- You By Derrick M. Cuomo Sitting alone in pain and misery Feeling Cold, Shaken, and Alone My mind wanders in and out Wondering if there is anyone there I see them all walking around Happy, fulfilled and never alone The I thought were there for me Turned their backs and walked away The feeling of hurt is so overwhelming It seems like my heart is failing I walk alone in the dark Wondering why I am so alone I see a light at the end of the street It shines so bright I can barely see I creep down there carefully Wondering what it could be I get to the light and I could barely speak It was so amazing, spectacular, and wonderfully unique The most amazing person I’ve ever seen Just stood there and smiled at me My Heart couldn’t comprehend The feeling within the wind It brushed against my face And I wanted to feel your soft embrace The words you spoke made me feel free The words you spoke made me want to cry Your love flows through my blood My heart pumping it with my love Your eyes comfort me And you give me a reason to live Your smile makes me reach for the sky And you give me a reason to feel Your love fulfills me And makes me feel whole Everything about you gives me shivers And my love for you will not wither Everything about you makes me smile And my love for you will not falter Everything about you makes me love And no matter what I am yours I couldn’t live without you now If you’re gone I would be lost I cant fathom being without you You’re my all in all and everything I will never leave you and never hurt you Thinking about you makes me speechless I love you now and forever always My love for you is everlasting You saved me from the shadows And I love you now and forever more All my old poems... written between 2006-2008 "Bye, Bye, Bye" by Derrick M. Cuomo Cherry blossoms flow through the wind, Two figures sitting in the shadows One turns and whispers "Bye, bye, bye" The now lone figure looks at the sky A tear gliding down his face Cherry blossoms blowing into the distance The words echoing in his ears Rain trickles down on the floor The lone figure sits under a tree Cherry blossoms flow down the river The young man stares into the distance A reflection appears in the river, "Bye, Bye, Bye" lingers in the boy’s ears A cherry blossom makes the water ripple Leaving the figure alone again The rain dies down, Dew sitting on the cherry blossoms The lone figure walks down the road, Hearing "bye, bye, bye" in the distance Another figure stands in the distance, Cherry blossoms fallen upon him Whispering a gentle "There is no time to say good-bye."

This river of friendship seems to run aground Or is it that it has just yet not been found? I lie under a tree and stare at the clouds Trying to avoid the pain-bringing crowds The bugs fly by and the wind is nice I guess for now, this shall have to suffice Who am I? The question lingers in my mind And yet, no matter how hard I try the answer I can’t find. Why are my thoughts so clouded when it comes to me, Should this be the way things ought to be? One day the answer will appear And I shall not shed a single tear. The ones who really care Will finally take the time to share Soon, very soon, I shall look at the moon I shall love those who love me And that is how it should be. ------------------------------- You By Derrick M. Cuomo Sitting alone in pain and misery Feeling Cold, Shaken, and Alone My mind wanders in and out Wondering if there is anyone there I see them all walking around Happy, fulfilled and never alone The I thought were there for me Turned their backs and walked away The feeling of hurt is so overwhelming It seems like my heart is failing I walk alone in the dark Wondering why I am so alone I see a light at the end of the street It shines so bright I can barely see I creep down there carefully Wondering what it could be I get to the light and I could barely speak It was so amazing, spectacular, and wonderfully unique The most amazing person I’ve ever seen Just stood there and smiled at me My Heart couldn’t comprehend The feeling within the wind It brushed against my face And I wanted to feel your soft embrace The words you spoke made me feel free The words you spoke made me want to cry Your love flows through my blood My heart pumping it with my love Your eyes comfort me And you give me a reason to live Your smile makes me reach for the sky And you give me a reason to feel Your love fulfills me And makes me feel whole Everything about you gives me shivers And my love for you will not wither Everything about you makes me smile And my love for you will not falter Everything about you makes me love And no matter what I am yours I couldn’t live without you now If you’re gone I would be lost I cant fathom being without you You’re my all in all and everything I will never leave you and never hurt you Thinking about you makes me speechless I love you now and forever always My love for you is everlasting You saved me from the shadows And I love you now and forever more Sun, 23 Mar 2008 07:34:45 GMT http://community.gamespa.net/_All-My-Old-Poetry/BLOG/44303/18323.html Sunshine12588 2008-03-23T07:34:45Z People & Blogs GameSpa All my old poems... written between 2006-2008 "Bye, Bye, Bye" by Derrick M. Cuomo Cherry blossoms flow through the wind, Two figures sitting in the shadows One turns and whispers "Bye, bye, bye" The now lone figure looks at the sky A tear gliding down his face Cherry blossoms blowing into the distance The words echoing in his ears Rain trickles down on the floor The lone figure sits under a tree Cherry blossoms flow down the river The young man stares into the distance A reflection appears in the river, "Bye, Bye, Bye" lingers in the boy’s ears A cherry blossom makes the water ripple Leaving the figure alone again The rain dies down, Dew sitting on the cherry blossoms The lone figure walks down the road, Hearing "bye, bye, bye" in the distance Another figure stands in the distance, Cherry blossoms fallen upon him Whispering a gentle "There is no time to say good-bye." Cherry blossoms flow through the wind, A smile on the two figure’s faces A ray of sun upon them, There is no "bye, bye, bye." ------------------------------------ Hate What is that emotion you feel? The one that spins like a wheel Is it love or maybe hate? I just can’t seem to wait This thought I can’t shake Its as deep as the deepest lake Its you that I see when I wake My soul is about ready to break Love or Hate? What is my fate? These thoughts I see I keep them to me There is not much I can do But hope my dreams come true Yet I still seem to wonder If my life is going under I hope you don’t feel hate Because then it’ll be too late What would I be able to say When you walk my way? The thoughts that flood my head Is holding my soul by a thread The things I say, think, & do, I want them to be for you But yet these bad feelings come to be When I think that you could hate me I’m scared of getting that answer And its killing me like a cancer Just look at your smiling face Makes me want to win a race I want to care for you I know I really, really do Happiness floods my heart But it kills when we’re apart Does this feeling cross your mind Is it of the same kind? Or is it what I fear the most The one that haunts like a ghost Is it that feeling of hate That consumes your character trait ----------------------------- Heart By Derrick M. Cuomo The way you make me feel It makes me feel so real Those three words you say They take my pain away The love that you show me It makes me feel so free The way you touch my heart Sends my emotions off the chart I can’t help but to confess Your love makes me speechless It’s hard to describe how I feel for you It’s hard to believe why you do the things you do No word in existence can describe my joy It’s better than any single type of toy My writing doesn’t feel worthy of your eyes And I’m not telling you any lies I don’t feel good enough at all, Without you my world would fall I can’t seem to emphasize the words The ones I know you’ve heard They come straight from my heartflow But they don’t seem strong enough to show The true feelings that I feel The ones that make me feel real The love that I have for you is true And you’re in everything I do Its overwhelming me through and through I Love YOU --------------------------------- "Hidden Feelings" by Derrick M. Cuomo Why do I get caught in these emotions? Life is just one big confusion. And yet I can’t just see, Why that person means so much to me. My so-called friends seem to come and go And who am I to ruin this flow? How many will remain true, And how many would rather say "forget you?" The wanting I feel, The type that never seems to heal. None of this seems real, Why must this wanting be so surreal? The person I want, I might never get, But I’m not quite ready to give up yet I will try as hard as I can, Until I can hold that person’s hand No matter what I seem to do I still can’t seem to find you I hide my feelings from the world, That it is you I want to hold. I’m sure one day I’ll finally tell And it’ll get me out of this emotional hell. And so maybe when I look at your face, I can finally feel your warm embrace. As I continue to lie down in the breeze Waiting for that moment I want to seize That wonderful smile, Is it really that worth while? From the dawn of every day, I hide that thing I just can’t say. This hidden love that I keep, Makes me sometimes weep With this guiding light, I shall keep up this fight For Now It Seems, That I must stick to my dreams A Passion and Love that I want to set free A Passion and Love that means so much to me I wish that person could just see Of what we can truly be I want to show that I really care, But I don’t know if I should share This truth that I hold in my head Keeps me awake lying in my bed The pain I feel shall one day end As we could one day become more than just friends This chance I don’t want to miss, So we can share that one kiss As I watch you from afar It makes me wonder who you really are. Were you sent to keep me strong? Or are all of my emotions wrong? I can’t decide what to do But all of these emotions point to you I think my life would be really great If you and me shared the same fate The words "I love you" don’t mean enough Because life right now is really rough But every time I see your smile, It keeps me going for a while I live off this hope, Just so I can cope. I miss you so much But do you know that I feel such? These emotions that I feel Still seem unreal I write and write and hope to one day show What only I really know If only I could find a way To tell you one day And feel that glee Of Telling you how much you truly mean to me --------------------------- Hope My heart is in pieces My soul is broken Crushed by the waves The waves of sadness Running through me like an ocean My mind tumbling down Down like a bomb A bomb exploding throughout my very being Rain falls down upon me Wiping away all happiness and hope Leaving only pain and loneliness Feelings stronger than the mightiest weapon Terror remains within my soul Doomed to be ever alone? Is it Destiny? Or maybe Fate? This terror that now shows on my face. I look in the mirror and emptiness is all I can see Lost in the shadows I seem to be, No hope for me and no rest at all I’m ripped apart at the very threads, Sadness, the only thing going through my head The night sky pierced by the silver shine A silver shine made by a moon so full it shines like the sun A light that goes through the hollow shell The hollow shell that was once my body The light giving a radiance, a radiance stronger than the sun What is it about this light? This light that makes my empty eyes shine ever so bright? A feeling that makes me feel free Free from the dooms of my own Destiny What is this light that makes me so bright Bright as a beacon in the night My pain and sadness start to fade away A reflection of the moon in my very eye What is this feeling I feel in me This feeling that makes me feel ever so free Even with my life falling apart And my very being being torn out, I can’t help but to see this shimmer of hope A shimmer to brighten up my darkest days And even though all else has failed, This new hope will help me prevail. Even though I am still torn, My Heart and Soul broken beyond repair... Is there truly any hope for me? -------------------------------------- "Lost In Transition (Time Stands Still)" by Derrick M. Cuomo Time stands still My mind is running in circles I am lost in a transition Nowhere to go Nowhere to look Nowhere to hide Stuck in a world A world inside myself A world I can’t escape from A constant struggle A struggle of light against dark, Good against Evil My mind split down the middle, Which is real? Which is fake? A gentle laugh, A joyous song Constantly heard in the distance A dark cackle, A deathly tune Rivals the joyous song The lights cast a shadow The shadow seems to fade A person with no identity What emotions does it feel? Happy and glad, Distress and wrath A hollow complexion on his face No life within his eyes No movement in his body A puddle ripples next to him A reflection of a man His very soul With bright eyes Life in his face A joyous creature Which one was? Which one is? Life or Life taken A mysterious figure Clothed in white Gives a gentle kiss The doll-like creature falls Falls into that very puddle The puddle of his soul The sun shines down Shining on the two figures Both full of life They kneel there together Looking into each other’s eyes All pain swept away Time stands still My mind is done running The transition is over Your bright eyes staring at me Into my very soul Make me rise whole -------------------------- My Mind What is it that goes through my mind? What is it that haunts me all the time? A feeling that makes me so lonely, A feeling that makes me weep so strongly What is it that makes me so weak? What is it that makes me so open? An intrusion that only causes pain An intrusion that will soon cause death What is it that makes this feeling so strong? What is it that makes this feeling live on? Emotions that run skin deep Emotions that poison my every cell What is it that won’t let me fight back? What is it that won’t let me live right? A life that cannot go on A life that is not really strong What is it that makes me doubt myself? What is it that makes me doubt my heart? A soul torn by abuse and fear A soul that might not ever heal. ----------------------------------------- Pain By Derrick M. Cuomo No words can describe the pain, The grief in my heart, That now haunts me like a ghost All my current happiness, Shot to the fiery pits of hell A brief memory of you in my head It forces me to fight the tears As it floods every portion of my mind The wind blowing into the trees, calm and welcoming Reminds me of the way your hair does the same These emotions that linger on and on They make it seem like I can’t go on I’m fighting myself from within, Trying to break this confusion I’m hiding myself with lies and laughter Hoping not to lead myself to the slaughter It is you I want and you I cannot get Why didn’t I see this coming? Why am I always such the fool? I know there is nothing I can do To change the way you feel towards me I’m a freak and I know it But why hide the fact at the beginning? Why did you have to lead me on? And bring me threw such a cloud of lies? Why couldn’t it just be honest and true? There is nothing more to be said, But plenty more to be done You will always be in my heart and mind Even though you will not be by my side My feelings might never change for you And I know that part is so true --------------------------- Passion By Derrick M. Cuomo I sit here in a quiet room, Pondering on what is coming soon I pay attention to this And then I will pay attention to that But I still feel like I am lost There is so much I can say, So much I can do. I don’t think I’m lazy, My passion is just not here Today just hasn’t seemed real. My dreams… overwhelming My life… different I can’t seem to understand Why my passion is not here It is lost, lost within my heart. So much awaits me, But do I dare take the first step? Mt vision is getting cloudy, Do I still press on? I can see a light just ahead Is it somewhere safe I can tread? I feel it now, my passion is near No time to think, stumble, or fear My hope shall guide the way And a new passion I will feel every day I shall stay strong, From the dark of dusk until the light of dawn -------------------------------- Should I? By Derrick M. Cuomo As I sit here and think Millions of thoughts come to my head. They tell me what to say What to think and do At least they try to The only real way for me to speak To speak using my heart… Tiny arguments sprout throughout my head Telling me how to react to you and the things you do I come to a wall, Do I follow my head, sheltering myself from love? Making me feel safe as in a temporary oasis? Or will I listen to my heart, opening myself? Giving me a feeling of want, ridding me of loneliness? Should I take that chance? Should I show my true self so? Will I soar on the wings of love? Or hide in a corner, cowering in fear? Time is ticking… The time for this decision is coming near. Will I face it? Conquer it? Obliterate it? My heart says it holds the answers… "Love will conquer all" Should I risk everything? Should a friendship end? Or should I make it all seem fake? ----------------------------------- The Kiss It haunts my dreams, my every thought A kiss as sweet as honey Yet, as deadly as poison A kiss to fulfill a wish Yet, to break a heart A kiss to show they care Yet, to show they don’t care enough A kiss to awaken a once lost hope Yet, awakens a well known pain A kiss to show the truth Yet, the truth is the end A double-edge sword this kiss is, It haunts my dreams, my every thought ------------------------------------- The Path By Derrick M. Cuomo Walking down a long path A youth falls to his knees The heat beating down upon his back Sweat pouring down his face Alone, he is alone Lying on the path, Gasping for air Trying to stay awake Fatigue consumes his body Consciousness begins to slip His vision begins to blur His mouth becomes dry A young youth lying in the path He is alone, lying flat on his face No energy rushing through his body No life force, no will A gentle figure walks down the path He looks down upon the body He falls to his knees He strokes the face of the youth Three days of searching Three days of worry Three days to find the one he loves the most Three days to find his very heart and soul He gently puts the youth on his back He walks down the long path He falls to his knees But he gets back up He continues along the path Fatigue starts to hit But the love flows through his body A love to make him feel whole The journey continues Vultures all around The gentle figure holds the youth Held so gently as if a part of him The end is near, He will not give up The end is near, His love goes on The sun has set, He can still feel hope The sun has set, He can see the end He makes it home, Holding the youth He falls to his knees He lies the youth in bed Crawling on the floor, He tries to reach the bed Fatigue takes control And his eyes close Life continues going on, The sun has risen Both are alive The sun has risen -------------------------------- What? By Derrick M. Cuomo Millions of thoughts go threw my head As I start to prepare for bed A new decision everyday Which is the right way? What makes you love? What makes your heart fly like a dove? What makes you feel so free? But the next day stings like a bee? What makes my heart race, Whenever I see your smiling face? This feeling is so new, Is it really true? What gives me these crazy dreams? The ones that rip you up at the seams The beauty of your smile, It keeps me happy for a while What can I honestly say? What will take my pain away? What will give me the happiness I see you feel? The type that seems so, so surreal Your eyes show a gleam of confidence The opposite of my stupid hesitance What makes you so strong? What lets you sing a happy song? What guides you, In everything you do? What makes you better than me? What makes me want to flee? There is so much I want to say, But it must wait until another day My hesitance rips me apart Starting right with my heart I stare at the ceiling, Watching the fan spinning What is in store for me Do I really want to see? Will I stand strong? Will I sing a happy song? Will I know what to do? Will I know what is true? ---------------------------- "Who Am I?" Here I am again. Just like way back when. My life has seemed to halt And I am the one at fault New friend every day But they don’t care either way Who really cares about me? Those people I really can’t see I get lost in these petty feelings Just lying down staring at ceilings Who Am I? I just nod my head and sigh A state of confusion that I can’t comprehend Is there at least one really good friend? No matter what happens, I listen to everyone, Yet when it comes to me, they prefer good old fun How can they not see, That certain problems affect me. This river of friendship seems to run aground Or is it that it has just yet not been found? I lie under a tree and stare at the clouds Trying to avoid the pain-bringing crowds The bugs fly by and the wind is nice I guess for now, this shall have to suffice Who am I? The question lingers in my mind And yet, no matter how hard I try the answer I can’t find. Why are my thoughts so clouded when it comes to me, Should this be the way things ought to be? One day the answer will appear And I shall not shed a single tear. The ones who really care Will finally take the time to share Soon, very soon, I shall look at the moon I shall love those who love me And that is how it should be. ------------------------------- You By Derrick M.

One day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw a kid from my class was walking home from school. His name was Kyle. It looked like he was carrying all of his books. I thought to myself, "Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday? He must really be a nerd." I had quite a weekend planned (parties and a football game with my friends tomorrow afternoon), so I shrugged my shoulders and went on. As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him. They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt. His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him He looked up and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes My heart went out to him. So, I jogged over to him and as he crawled around looking for his glasses, and I saw a tear in his eye. As I handed him his glasses, I said, "Those guys are jerks. " They really should get lives. "He looked at me and said, "Hey thanks!" There was a big smile on his face. It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude. I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived. As it turned out, he lived near me, so I asked him why I had never seen him before. He said he had gone to private school before now. I would have never hung out with a private school kid before We talked all the way home, and I carried some of his books. He turned out to be a pretty cool kid. I asked him if he wanted to play a little football with my friends He said yes. We hung out all weekend and the more I got to know Kyle, the more I liked him, and my friends thought the same of him. Monday morning came, and there was Kyle with the huge stack of books again. I stopped him and said, "Boy, you are gonna really build some serious muscles with this pile of books everyday! "He just laughed and handed me half the books. Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends When we were seniors, we began to think about college. Kyle decided on Georgetown , and I was going to Duke. I knew that we would always be friends, that the miles would never be a problem. He was going to be a doctor, and I was going for business on a football scholarship. Kyle was valedictorian of our class. I teased him all the time about being a nerd. He had to prepare a speech for graduation. I was so glad it wasn't me having to get up there and speak Graduation day, I saw Kyle. He looked great. He was one of those guys that really found himself during high school. He filled out and actually looked good in glasses. He had more dates than I had and all the girls loved him. Boy, sometimes I was jealous! Today was one of those days. I could see that he was nervous about his speech. So, I smacked him on the back and said, "Hey, big guy, you'll be great!" He looked at me with one of those looks (the really grateful one) and smiled. " Thanks," he said. As he started his speech, he cleared his throat, and began "Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through those tough years. Your parents, your teachers, your siblings, maybe a coach...but mostly your friends... I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best gift you can give them. I am going to tell you a story." I just looked at my friend with disbelief as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to kill himself over the weekend. He talked of how he had cleaned out his locker so his Mom wouldn't have to do it later and was carrying his stuff home. He looked hard at me and gave me a little smile. "Thankfully, I was saved. My friend saved me from doing the unspeakable." I heard the gasp go through the crowd as this handsome, popular boy told us all about his weakest moment. I saw his Mom and dad looking at me and smiling that same grateful smile. Not until that moment did I realize it's depth. Never underestimate the power of your actions.
