Joe Prieto Poems

love is just a word ive heard so many say they love me when they never did
one second by my side the next gone with the wind

they say everyone has a purpose but this world is empty, worthless, filled by greed and sins
...

the people weak, the devil speaks
manipulates their voices

i can hear it now it’s drowning out
...

The other day
I thought I heard
In silent ways
a whispered word
...

in me, untold
there lies, a cold
that spreads, like fire
that spreads, my soul
...

not much adds up anymore
the pointless endeavors, the everyday cycle
it's hard to make sense of things anymore
it all swirls around me, it pulls me under
...

The sun sets on another day,
another day that's gone forever

I’m pathetic, no, more than pathetic
...

and now
we're past
another day
sometimes i
...

lines of words
they don't describe
the things i feel
the words confine
...

it starts with a light that grows larger by day
to grasp this new world is not out of my way
emotion that drives us, i cannot say why
a fluke in our nature that carries us by
...

With so much hope pinned to one moment
I threw myself out to you
I was always there
but you were always gone
...
