the older I get, the less I regret
I stare off into this oblivion
and for a moment
I forget where I am
I forget who I am
I am anything but me
and I’m loving every minute of it
as my eyes blur together these distances from the strain
this situation I’ve dubbed as life that makes me ill
numb and unfulfilled
filled with florescent lights and neutral colors
the less I blink
means the less I see your face
how I always see your face
to keep this song repeating
holds me in this feeling
next comes new life, change,
and death of everything I knew
the colors dance and spin in dizzying confusion
my heart pounds with excitement
but it’s fear that holds me perfect

And I smiled to myself
for the first time In such a long time
Because we are all on our own
Hair blowing in the warm breeze
Looking out into the evening sky
I think we know this deep down inside
But it's something we try to mask
with things, With people
Or we drowned it out with substance

That uncertainty of life

but I will never forget how you said you loved me
and what that felt like
while it all went by so fast
today is the last day of my past
i'll see it through tunneled eyes
and echoed goodbyes
a pain with each beat of my heart
for all that was lost
that disappeared in the blink of an eye

you were performing visuals
acted out for my benefit
nothing more, nothing less

We’ve all lost
And have been lost
Silent times
Call for despite sorrow
I cannot let go, I cannot hold on
I don’t know what to do or who to turn
I’m alone in my despair and over taken by anger
My even breathing and calm speech is simply because I don’t know
I don’t know how to scream
I don’t remember how to rage
I’ve forgotten how to cry
And even if I did what would it matter?
All I know is broken, all I feel is sadness….
Damaged, my insides had fallen out of me
And I walk and breathe in a dense fog
The pain is distant, the hurt aches and passes to a dull numb
And everything I had and everyone I

Thoughts from a fallen angel
I've lived my entire life with a weight of guilt on my shoulders. For what I haven't a clue. If only I could remember where this innate sadness came from. Perhaps I could solve the complex puzzle that is me. I push everyone away. I am shiny and pretty on the outside but inside I am forever broken. Everyone eventually finds out. Everyone eventually leaves. I could help you all. But only while we are both drowning. I close my eyes but all I see are nightmares coming from the inside and when I open my eyes again it's all still there. Does it all really matter anymore? This life, this cycle of in and out. Happy and sad. Depressed and rage. The un
i've disappeared
and underneath my skin
i have no soul
so how does it feel to not be alive?
a shell of what i used to have been
THE. USED. TO. HAVE. BEEN.
keep on repeating it
keep on scratching it down my back
salting my wounds with your salvia
and where i've gone, i haven't a clue
and when i'll be back...
i hope, i pray, i mourn
it never comes to that
never letting go feels like i never held on
trapped in a cage of my own design
the monster i became
to keep it all under control
alone is the brightest nightlight
the trails they lead me too
plugged into walls that are now crushing me
they don’t even know i'm here
it’s past their
poetry and tears, all my fears
in the blink of an eye we are somewhere new
insignificants when you look to the sky
hand and hand, clasped so tight
these years so fragile and precious
we couldn't stop them if we tried
caught and trapped
the mindset of the misplaced
crumble life into ash from our grasps
tomorrow and yesterdays
reflected in these eyes of hesitation
days and the days gone by
like mirrors and ghost of the pasts
living through reflections only skin deep
we watch it all slip right through
today and everyday, i still do, i still will
it's all in that one moment and then it’s gone forever
i know too much for my own good
Numb to all touch…
How did this happen?
When did we allow ourselves to sink so low?
Yet we know exactly how we got here…
Feelings of nothingness were better than feeling emptiness
Tortured and haunted
For all we could have… should have been
Just shadows of what we were supposed to be
Only a calling to keep us strong… always I’ve been calling out to you
Living in passive, dreaming in pretense
Life gradually forgot about us
In turn we forgot about life
Fading away was our goal
Into the background we disappeared into ourselves
We are okay… or so we thought
But I was screaming… always I’ve be
These times , so fast they twist with smirks and smiles
And here I live on, for one more day… to die another
The cobwebs are so frequent in this heart
So cold and barren, I'd love to think it to be so hardened
to think spiders couldn't even exist…
to toxic to twitch, and venom to burn on and on
….no promise it doesn't ache
poetry isn't for the gifted
the overjoyed or saddened
it has been set aside neatly
for the dead and the dying
a sickness that claws, and ravages, and stings
beaten and bruised
only to be clothed and covered
with regrets, with smiles, with lies…..
lies in our hearts and minds
deadened with ou
i’m in a quiet anger
soft and unforgiving
contemplating and calculating
where my heart is lost to the ‘could have been’
and sadness is pushed aside for another time
the fight… was all for you
fought you out of hell and back
how fast we forget where we’ve been
to replace it with where we are
it all vanished when you thought different
i am not scared… there’s nothing i can do
my conscious is clear, i’ve done everything for us
toxic, addiction is everything before me
yet i am to be questioned
open your eyes or keep them closed
it doesn’t matter if you listen to everything but your heart and
out of billion hearts
racing across the streets
mine beats for yours
because i know not
why rivers always
run to meet the oceans
and why flowers
open up only at the
first call of their sun
but i know two of us
come from one skin
of longing in circles
when all the reasons
to love
are not enough
i look at you
thousand times closer
and from the corner
of your lips
i choose
to kiss your truth
a handful of sand
tries to slip away
against my fist
when i try to hold it
tighter than i should
i can't hold
longer in longing
and minutes pass by
with my every heartbeat
skipping faster
than before
since you came to me
searching for
your moon
The longer we stay
in each other's skin
we tend to affirm
a love that lasts forever
between pleasures sliding
against curves
of our intimate core
hungered for more
in every minute
that passes by
we search for each other
within tunnels
of our undying passion
until dawn calls upon
a new morning caressing
our awakened ecstasy
we believe we made love
we think we succeeded
in fulfilling the intensity
of our cravings
and together we lived
the legacy of our existence
under love's shelter
our hearts are filled
with air of contentment
and we breath heavily
into nakedness
we can't get enough
even when we repeat
the feast of our delicacy

I stand beautiful
within shades of blues
across inert silence
of a dim moonlight
cascading slowly
onto waters echoing
your name with mine
across those shorelines
where my tender heart
sheepishly waits for you
at the hour of midnight
with a hope to see you soon
this time walking the ocean
of our God against winds
dancing in cold circles
endlessly...
the whole of sky
has fallen into dark woods
and a furious night creeps
inside midnight shells
fallen apart everywhere
scattered and some half devoured
by ravens hungered
between a confusion
hovering endlessly in circles
I see you watching me
so quietly and cold
against undelivered promises
frozen many centuries ago
I look at you
strongly as I can
holding a little hope
to save myself from darkness
when you are not around
Ne touchez pas
Ne touchez pas mon amour
I will not let you
hold me tonight
my heart is flooded
with emotions wanting
to run down like a river
gushing over dry grass
now pricking my naked feet
making me bleed
a
“I'm always finding humans at their best and worst. I see their ugly and their beauty and I wonder how the same can be both.”
-Death
(Markus Zusak, The Book Thief)
If I’m honest I’m still not sure
Don’t know much anymore
Its harder and harder to keep it straight
Straight in my mind
And I apologize
Each and every one of the last three times
Its not ok to lie
If you go, will you miss me
Then just say it, will you ever believe in love?
Let me be your place to hide
