Words I Hate to Hear

You try and comfort me.
Hold me close and embrace me.
Pull me tight against you.
The wind howls out side.
And the world is falling to its knees.
Murder, war, and hate run rampant.
Where as love and peace are rare.
Tears fill my....our eyes
You whisper:
"It'll be ok"
"It'll get better"
These are the words I hate to hear.
Words that are like poison"
Lies.
Empty truths.
They mean nothing.
Because when your standing on the edge
Ready for an early end.
How can it possibly get better.

Idiot.

The world is full of liars.
The world is full of believers.
The world is full of people that trust.
I hoped that you were all three of them in one.
But as you walk out the door again, saying:
"I'll be back late, don't wait up for me."
My stomach clenches.
My eyes become moist.
And an image of you with him flits across my mind.
You think that I don't know.
You think that you're been discrete.
But that is far from the truth.
I know that you're with him.
I know that you're more than friends.
You're enthralled by his words.
You're bored by mind.
So I shall wait up for you,
And I shall tell you that it's over.
I may say that now.
But I know that when I see you walk in.
With that smile on your face, remembering your evening with him.
I shall be unable to challenge you.
I will meekly accept your explanation about traffic.
I say to myself, next time is the last time.
I've said that before and here I still stand.
All I asked for was honesty.
All I got was deception.
As I close my eyes and drift into unconsciousness.
I think that I am an idiot.
For I am an idiot.
But a caring & loving idiot.

Appreciate her.

She loves you.
You know that.
So you think that she'll never walk.
But you push her, and one day,
You'll break her and she'll walk.
You take her for granted.
Thinking that she'll always be there.
But always remember that the day may come.
When she'll walk because of your ego.
So treat her respectfully, and don't take her for granted.
Now take her hand and fly.

Goodbye

Of all the things in the world I hate,
The worst is saying goodbye,
Inside your heart it's raining tears,
Your brain remembering old times,
A hug, a word, everything is gone,
Apart from the memories which keep on going strong,
Until the day we meet again,
Which no time can change,
Although the worst is to say goodbye,
The best is meeting again!

Time

Time can be your enemy,
Yet time can be your best friend,
Time will always run out,
But yet it never ends,
But everything time throws at you,
Whether good, or whether bad,
Appreciate what time gives you,
Or else you will have missed things,
That would have made you glad!

My Only Wish.

You turn and look at me.
I return your look with a smile.
You smile back at me and your eyes light up.
I approach you with a smile on my face not believing my luck.
You turn to me again and smile while you walk away.
I follow you and catch you.
You turn and fall into my arms.
I lean down to kiss you.....
Suddenly the world turns black.
I sit up in bed. It was only a dream.
Tears start to form in my eyes and roll down my cheeks.
For I can no longer have you or see you.
I can only dream of you.
Regret creeps into my mind.
Regret at things that I didn't show you or tell you.
I used to think that I could go through the world alone.
Then I met you, and you changed that, you became my world.
Now I am once again alone and the world seems impossible.
My friends carry me on their shoulders and support me.
They wish me the best. They tell me that time helps.
But my only wish until the end of time, is that:
One day you leave my dreams and come back to me.

Today, I Miss You.

Today.
Today is the day that I shall see you again.
It has been to long and I can't wait to see your smile again.
The minutes creep by like hours.
Will the moment ever arrive?
It does.
I see you.
I smile.
You smile back.
My world is now complete.

We spend the day laughing.
We enjoy each others company.
But it can not last.
And as the day draws to a close.
The minutes pass by in seconds.
The moment arrives, and you have to leave.
I say that I'll see you soon.
But we both know that it wont be soon.
But we smile and put a brave face on it.
And as I wave your car away.
I think how cruel time can be.

This is it

This is it.
The end.
Its not worth it anymore.
Its been three years to long.
And i just cant take anymore.
I've waited to long for this.
Taken to much, too much abuse.
To many tears and so many fears.
My guidance left me in six feet of earth.
And my love left me with a broken and bleeding heart.
I did nothing at all.
But you punished me for being me.
None of you will stop me from ending it.
And when the clouds come rolling in.
To shed their tears over me.
You'll all look up and wonder,
What drove me to it?
And I'll look down at you and shout.
YOU!!
Drove me to the end.
You drove me to the edge.
Then pushed me over.


Copyright Dale Innes Wylde Hughes ©

Shall We?

Think.
Think back to the days.
The days when we lay in fields.
They days when we just smiled and didn't cry.
The days when we could love each other.
The days when we smiled at each other.
The days when we laughed together.
Where have those days gone?
What did we do wrong?
Luck was on our side then. But not time.
Luck brought us together and gave us happiness.
Time tore us apart and gave us sadness.
We tried to fight it once.
And time defeated us.
Shall we take up this fight once again?

First Times

I see you.
It's not the first time that I've seen you.
But it's the first time since you left me.
I smile at you.
It's not the first time that you've seen me smile.
But it's the first time since you left me.
I walk with you.
It's not the first time that we have walked together.
But it's the first time since you left me.
I want to hold your hand.
It's not the first time that I've wanted to hold your hand.
But it's the first time that you haven't let me.
You turn to me, my face is reflected in your eyes.
You look at me. I look back at you.
And I ask you.
Give me one more chance.
Give me one more first time.

I gave you everything

I gave you everything I had
My heart
My soul
My love
You gave me nothing in return
Not a glance
Not a kiss
Not a kind word
You threw it all in my face
And rubbed me into the dirt
I was nothing more
Than a voice at the corner of your mind
Because of you
I hated myself
I hated the world
And yet, I love you none the less
I love you through the abuse
I love you through the pain
I gave you all I had to give
I'm just sorry it wasn't enough

Contrast

You've just told me that we are no more.
With two words you have destroyed:
My world.
My dreams.
My hopes.
My friends say that it's your fault.
That you don't value me.
I disagree.
For I valued you more that life itself.
But that was not enough for you.
Or maybe it was to much for you.
I see you and my heart breaks again and again.
The world seems pointless without you and me.
But as I hold the pieces of my heart in my hands.
I realize.
That the world is full of life, happiness and optimism.
I now have to thank you for destroying me.
For as phoenix rises from the ashes, so I am reborn.
And I now realize and appreciate the world and life that I have been given.
Thank you.
And as someone famous once said:
"I'd rather live one day as a lion, than a century as a lamb"
I am no longer scared of life and it's challenges.
What's more, I relish them!

Live on

I'm alone
You've left me
By myself
No one to rely on
No one to believe in
Depressed and suicidal
What can I do?
What must I do
I needed you
I survived because of you
How can I move on
How can I go on
You're gone
.......I've accepted it
It's what you'd want
To go on
To live on
I've accepted it

Not Fair!

Through clenched fist and gritted teeth I shout "no"!
As you slip away from me and leave me on my own
I blame you and curse your name
Even though I know its not your fault
My eyes are stung with tears and my will to live leaves me
Through hugs and kisses of attempted comfort
I want nothing more than to be left alone
To be left to morn and to be left to grieve
My thoughts run wild with memories of you
Adding to the pain, but helping with the comfort
This isn't fair
I scream and cry at the world
Cursing it for taking you from me
A loss that tears my heart in two
I cant go one without you. I do not want to go on without you
Everyone saying "it'll be ok" "life will go on"
Words I don't want to hear
Let me be in pain, let me cry, let me talk about what scares me
I'm scared of what life hold for me without you here to help me
I need you
Your touch, your voice, your words, your meaning
I sit here on my bed wishing you where here
I close my eyes, I imagine you, picture you here
A smile crosses my face, I open my eyes
And your gone, so is my smile
This is not fair...THIS IS NOT FAIR!

Your Gone

Hand in hand we walk through this dark plane
Together we face each others pain
We've come so far to beat our fear's
And battled through so many tears
We've soldiered through so many fights
And neither one of use ever took flight
But now your gone
And I can't see
A path that seems clear to me
So I give up and this is it
Because life just doesn't seem worth it
With out you here to guide me through it

Now.

Together we were.
Apart we now stand.
Even tho together we now stand.
We used to walk hand in hand and smile.
We now walk apart no longer smiling.
Together we used to be in each other arms.
Apart we now are from each other, separated.

As we walk I wish I could hold your hand one more time.
But it is not to be for the last time was long ago.
And this time we are destined to be separate and apart.
You made your decision. I accepted it.
So let fate run it's course.

Memories

We're right here together
In each others embraace
watching the silver skyline, change into an explosion of colour
our pain forgotten at last
your eyes meet mine
and for a second i can feel like i wont be missed
memories, thats all these are
the few that keep me going, are filled with moment of you and me
i sit on my bed, my arms around my knees
Tears on my cheeks
Blood on my hands
I lay here starring into the night sky, stars filling my eyes
I feel your hand on mine, i pull you close to me, and our lips meet
Like shattering glass the memory crumbles, and i am alone again
this hill where so many good memorys where created
The wind blows and its icy chill cuts through me
We run along the wave beaten beach
sand bellow our feet and smiles on our faces
A wave sweeps bellow our steps, and once agin your'r gone
I walk along this storm beaten shoreline, alone
waves sweeping up the shore, trying to take me with them to their icy domain
The rain soaks my clothes and chills me to my soul
your always here with me, in my thoughts and in my dreams
But i need you now more than ever
When not even all the good memories can keep me going
I need you

Lifes Lights

Life was bright
Life was fun; problems fell away like leaves in autumn
All was good, all was peaceful
Then Life went dark
Things were hard
Problems clung to my mind, regrets burrowed in
Life became the prison I had tried to avoid
I waged wars on myself and didn’t let anyone help
But I soldiered on
Never Surrendered
Never Backed Down
Life was not going to defeat me
No one was
The wars I waged I won
The regrets I had, I caged
The life I had lost I regained
The walls of my prison broke and fell
They lay before me, rubble beneath me
My life is bright
My life is fun
My Problems and regrets are none!

Heaven & Fire.

I feel the water been sucked from beneath me.
I turn.
I see the wave start to form.
I paddle.
I feel the wave start to pull me in.
I brace.
I hear the roar of the wave.
I ride.
I feel the wave underneath me.
I smile.
I am in my heaven.
I am in the surf.


The music flows around us.
Together we sway.
Our lips meet and time stops.
I hold you close and we kiss like the first time.
We draw apart and I see the love in your eyes.
I smile to myself and stare at you in wonder.
You interweave your fingers with mine.
We smile like idiots at each other....
Suddenly the world is filled with heat and noise.
I hear the crackle of flames and feel their heat.
I look for you.
You have not moved.
I cradle you in my arms.
Don't leave me.

Last Time To Fall

Time has run out, i cant take this anymore
Tears sting my eyes, like needles on skin
The horrible truth is coming out
My heart is drained, the last beats wasted on you
You wont cry, you wont take a second glance
Ill die, and you wont even notice
Everything is worthless, and iv been here five years to long

I walk A lonely street, My head full of thoughts about what im about to do
Passers by give me sideways glances, and my heart fills with anguish
i look up at the stars above, and wonder, what was all this for
Years and Years of pain and sorrow
All for what?

I sit with my friends, their laughter falls on deaf ears
my thoughts scream at me, noises like nails on blackboard
there was a time where, no matter how dark my life was
You would pick me up when i fell
But when you where the cause of me falling
No one was there to catch me
and my hopes smashed on the pavement bellow

The wind rushes past my ears, and stings my eyes
Glass windows fly past my vision
Clouds above me
Concret below
A gasp of horror from the gathered crowd
I close my eyes and utter my final words
Goodbye...im sorry.

Compilation of Poems.

The birds are singing.
The bees are buzzing.
The world is at peace.
But I am not.
For my peace lies in your arms.


I need you to breathe,
I need your eyes to lose myself
and your smile to find myself.
I need you to live, love and feel.


I have time to love you,
But I have to leave and the seconds are fading.
I don't have time to tell you that,
My love for you,
Is my way of life.


If you let me kiss you.
If you let me hold you.
If you let me have you.
Then I'll give you:
My love.
My world.
and My soul.


When I see you I can't imagine more beauty.
When I see you I can't imagine more kindness.
When I see you I get lost in your eyes.
My will is yours to do as you like.
When I see you,
I love you.

Dont Go (I Need You)

we run and run
a starlit sky-line stretched out before us
i take your hand in mine, and we slip into the blissful darkness of the night
a city street in Seattle, dark and dank, stars blocked out by light
the wind blows like a cruel messenger
that summer is gone and winter is here
i pull my coat tight, as the throws of winter beat against me
where did summer go.
our hope and happiness, crushed against icy walls of the winter night
how did we come to this, smileys and laughter, the only reminders of summer
snowflakes one my window ledge, i sit and stare at the city before me
lights like and explosion of color replace the stars that dotted the sky
a hospital bed, the emergency ward, the smell of hope and death
your hand in mine, what happened.
tears fill my eyes, as darkness fills yours.
don't go...don't leave me...i need you
..........................

...............
i sit on my rooftop, as day turns to night.
memories of you fill my mind. and im stricken with fear
how can i continue...you've left me here.
it should have been me
i deserved to go, to slip into the endless abyss
your picture in my hand,' in times when we had smiles on our faces.
.....how can i carry on.

Falling

Falling, through an icy curtain.

Falling, to the bottom of the ocean floor

Mistakes made, weaving the stitches of our demise

Our lives, destroyed, in the most punishable ways.

We see ourselves as indestructible, until the time when we a proven not

I look up towards the waters surface, the stars and night, all I can see

Lungs tight, air scarce, no panic, only the embrace of the end.

A deep breath, a rush of water.

My lungs turn icy, as if a frozen breeze tour through me

Thoughts of 30 years race through my head.

Friends, Family, Fights, Feuds

Words like “forever” “I love you” “Its Over”

Was it all worth it, did I live to the fullest

My ultimate question

Will I be missed?

A question I can’t answer. It tears at my mind.

I need it answered, it has to be answered, I need to know.

My mind starts to dull, my body turns numb, Icy needles pierce my lungs.

I lay down on the ocean floor, hopeless, lost, and unable to save myself

Years of helping others, now I can not even help myself

Is this what life comes to, Years of fighting, all for this

A cold embrace circles my body; the stars above become blurred and distorted

I reach for them, a final grasp, one last hope, a reach for the stars, for a second chance

But Hope is futile, This is it

This is it

The End

I love you

A glittering blackness fills my eyes as I awake to the thoughts of better days.

As trumpets sound in the streets and songs for the fallen resonate through them.

I look out my window at the snow and the lights, as stars fill the skies.

And I realize that this is the birth and death of a day.

My eyes fill with tears, at the thought of the end of a shimmering night.

The world turns blurred, and the freezing wind tears across the land.

People pull their coat close, and some look into the air, at the fireworks of lives passed.

I take your hand in mine, and pull us onto the ice.

Lights and sounds swirl through the city…This is magic hour.

Time stands still, and this moment lasts forever.

Then shatters like a glass house.

Broken families, broken homes, broken lives.

Celebrated, mourned, and missed.

It takes six days at the bottom of the ocean, to show us what we miss the most.

But six days too late, and what we miss is gone.

Life, light, love, redemption.

These are the first breathes after coma.

We write down our thoughts, hopes and dreams.

Open our minds to one another, Beams of hope fill our thoughts.

We step out into a dangerous world, together we step out into a world of dread.

That’s when I discovered, that all our plans, where just prayers to father time.

We spent our years on borrowed time.

And wasted it.

I lay on the hospital bed, each peep on the LCD, brought tears to me.

Your eyes locked on mine, all the times we had flashing through my mind.

But through it all, fighting a battle I had lost before it began.

Against an enemy that we all feared, but could not hide from.

My mind slipping away, as my heart unraveled to you.

Our lips for one last time met, as the life left me, and the tears left you.

I watched as, you cried and held me close, our final moment alone.

The only moment we were alone.

You find the note I left you clenched in my hand.

My final words to you,

You unfold it, and read….

“I Love You”

Sea & Love.

Your skin is the colour of Caribbean sand.
Your lips are the colour of St. George rose.
Your eyes are the colour of deep mahogany.
You are the angel of my world.
Despite this you still ask yourself:
What does he see in me?


My heart has been shielded.
My eyes have been blinded.
My mind has been distracted.
Finally, you have come to rescue me.
Or am I making a mistake letting you in?


I feel the sun on my skin.
I taste the salt in the air.
I hear the waves crash and the gulls wail.
I know that I am home and with my love.
For my home and my love is the greatest of all.
The sea.


The world is at an end.
They day of judgment has arrived.
People file to church.
But I do not.
For I stand on the shore and wait.
And wait to be judged by mother nature.
