one day soon

One day soon I will be gone

without having said goodbye

but please know I will be okay

as I will feel no more pain inside

I hope all of you know how much

I truly loved you while I was here

and where ever God takes me

know I will still love you and wished He would have let me

stay for just a little bit longer

so I could have told you all of

this myself that everything is

gonna be ok whether we kept in

touch or not sometimes when a

Mother and Father have a breakup the kids are the ones

who feel all the pain which was

not my intention which I am

sorry about and needed to let

them know it was not their fault

and that I just wish I could have

Been a better Dad and never lost

our touch but no matter when

the last time we talked I have

never not loved you every single

Second of every minute of every

hour of my life from my oldest to

the youngest every memory with

a smile anytime I thought of

them was always the best part

of my life.

Why does love hurt

Is there anybody out there who can tell me the reason that we can fall in love so damn easily with a stranger and then inevitably fall back out of love with each other becoming enemies in a war of words and emotions causing major conflicts for no apparent reason while bringing more hate and anger to a world that does not need it anymore, so why is it that love needs to hurt so damn bad when you break up with another then all of the pain that you feel from a broken heart hurts more than just about anything that you will ever know and even though no bones are broken that pain is just as real, I mean why do people even fall in love with these days since it always seems like it ends up causing us so much more pain anyway as all the ugly dark clouds start to move in covering all of the sunlight coming from the sadness of depression which causes so many teardrops start falling on your face so fast you think that you just might drown out in the pouring rain. I guess the hardest part for me was finding out that fairytales were just that stories that we read to our children to give them a sense of security to distort the reality of the sad truth of life. In other words, we lie to our children because we live in the innocence of their ignorance and bliss so they can sleep at night and dream those dreams we used to share before they were shattered and destroyed by the real truth that once upon a time and happily ever afters are total fabricated crap we are lied to, cheated on, used and abused for so damn long how do you think that makes you feel? Angry? Yes, sad? Even more but you just do not want to look at anyone anymore, since now you feel like nothing more than a damn fool. I am not so sure that I will ever look for love again, for I just could not take another heartbreak or even that pain again, maybe being all alone is what God wants for me to be since He gave me the gift to write down all of my emotions and feelings so easily to help out all others that are maybe not quite as strong as I am for it seems like my entire life has been nothing but heartbreaks, and heartaches, with lots of pain over and over again. I know they say that He will only give you what you can handle. I think He is mistaken God has been wrong before, after all, he. Did create you and I.

I wish we were words in a beautiful piece of poetry with lines drawn by my spilled ink. Then nothing else would matter because I could just erase everything else except for you and me.

Love Forever

I can still remember in vivid detail the first time we met after

work it was a beautiful night and there was a smell of stale

green beer and pretzels because it was Saint Patrick’s Day

I guess some kind of Irish saint who drank anyway I showed

up not knowing what to expect yet I felt something was about

to change my life and it did as I came around the corner

you were standing there more beautiful than I could have ever

imagined when my eyes found yours they said out loud WoW

yours said yes like you could see straight through to my soul

and was answering a question so we got a little bit closer until

they touched just as lightning lit up the skies while thunder was

booming from within our hearts as dark clouds covered up the

then the light from the moon and stars disappeared that’s

when the Angels looked down covered their eyes and blushed

as our demons too were thinking way to much as they were all

becoming all hot and sweaty as we got closer and closer as we

danced together in the rain that was falling as our way was lit

by a million fireflies you and I stayed perfectly cool spinning

round and round like the earth and the moon around the sun as

that memory lives in my heart and carries that love we used to

know and I know you told me that the love for me no longer exist

in your heart or soul but how can that be for love is supposed to

last forever and believe it or not all that love does last

past forever in all the memories and photographs that shows

our past like it used to be when we both loved each other in

the moments that God had given us frozen in those faces from

memories in the photographs taken in the past when love existed

in all of us.

There are days I miss you more than yesterday's sun then there are days I wish I never knew you just want to have some fun then there are those that you do not need to know and others that would send me to hell for thinking it but mostly I miss the thought of us when we were only friends and that was all we knew.

Poet Richard M Knittle Jr.

Hey Richard! It's Craig J. Burt! I miss you! Hope all is well with you! I've been playing "River Of Goodbyes" a lot on YouTube! We'll write more lyrics soon! Much Love!! <3 <3 <3

How Are you my friend.. I'm sorry I just saw this it's good and I would like to.. Feeling better though and yes I'm a freak.

It's not feeling lonely that I fear the older I become, I felt lonely when I was young. It is being forgotten that I worry about.

Poet Richard M Knittle Jr.

Happily ever after amen.

Every now and then you will meet someone that makes your heart begin to pound so hard that it feels as if it will break through your chest or crack a few ribs at best, as you can hear your blood flowing through your veins like a mighty river fed by the rains of angry massive wintkrms to the sea also making it hard to breathe as you start to feel the heat coming from somewhere down deep in your soul smoldering until you see her beautiful face then your heated passion takes control igniting a raging fire the is now burning out of control as it feels like it is two hundred fifty degrees and your boiling from the inside, as tears fall from your eyes as their sheer beauty is so bright it leaves you feeling blind, and when they look up and smile at you the oh so real feeling of panic hits you right in the face as you freeze up talking nothing but gibberish losing all concept of speech and losing control of your knees falling to the ground as if you were in a coma with a smile on your face from ear to ear and eyes staring staring in to space and your mouth wide open from the shock of her just coming into view never happening with anyone else in your life knowing what she does to you with even just the sound of her name being said thinking the way you do oh she cares because of the secrets you share and the things you both have been through together and as you spend more and more time with each other the thought you both share bring you closer then ever before just hoping she will finally see something that it glaringly obvious just how much you both care for each and give in to the truth that he very much without a doubt needs her in his life to get through his final days standing by his side holdinv each other's hand showing the other what love and respect really mean a feeling both of them need so as he will not die alone leaving this plane knowing somebody cared about him and in return she will learn what love and truth are and how it feels to be treated like she needs to be to have everything she ever wanted and needs until death parts their ways where she will know just how much it meant to him never knowing what wanting or needing means again. Sounding like it is just a dream these words it would seem as he lives night to night waiting for the days she will finally see how he feels and take that leap of fate to walk through loves gate to make this once upon a time into a happily ever after amen.
