Another Day

You saw me drinking, and it made you cry.
You felt the guilt from when you left my side.  
I turned to drug abuse and alcohol.  
I need you to know that this is not your fault.  
No longer the man with which you fell in love.  
They say time heals all wounds, but it was not enough.  
I needed something else to numb the pain.  
Just to make it through another day.  
  
Numb the pain for another day.  
It's too late, I cannot be saved.
   
I see that you're thriving since we fell apart.  
I know that you hide from me your broken heart.  
Your girl friends have told me that you're not okay.  
That you talk about me almost everyday.  
Like how you can't sleep at night without my sounds.  
They plead me to save you and come back around.  
Then why did we even go our separate ways?  
What was the point of it in the first place?  
   
Numb the pain for another day.  
I can't save you, it's far too late.

Should I Go?

I have only known you a few weeks,
You've been kind, and understanding, without critiques,
You're kind, intelligent, funny, nerdy, and beautiful,
I thought what we had was meaningful,
We'd chat online,
Everything seemed fine,
Then you left for a few days,
A needed break from this online maze,
But something changed in you,
I know you're hurting, that is true,
But you don't want to talk to me anymore,
What are we anymore?
We weren't defined,
But it seems you've resigned
From anything we thought we could be,
And now I've got to be free.
It hurts me to say this,
I hope I'm misunderstanding, hope I'm amiss.
I'm not trying to be a monster,
But I can't sit around forever,
Waiting to know how you feel about me,
Sitting here, waiting to see
If whom I care about,
Cares about me, in this verbal drought.
Did I do something wrong?
Did I say something wrong?
Or is this only mental health issues,
And not "us" issues?
Do you still care?
Because by golly, I sure care.
Just tell me if you don't want to talk anymore,
Don't leave me hanging, hoping for more.
From my analysis,
I really think that if you're willing to work with me on this,
We can really make this bloom,
I don't want to leave, it would leave me in gloom,
I would move on with my life, yes,
But it would take me awhile, I confess.
Do you want me to stay?
That's all you have to say.
Should I go?
I hope it's a no,
But I'd rather not add more to your plate,
What, with your current mental and emotional state.

Your Majesty of Tears

       
The spirit of the mirror        
feeds these years in blood        
it dries quickly,        
marking the place        
where blue skies wither        
and brittle corn sighs dust        
 
In search of your rose        
I worry ghosts        
drawn like a bee        
past bludgeon of murdering clock        
wing torn weary    
and beating a fool's tune        
the shock of bitter tongue        
blind to thorns of the heart       
     
Your reflection        
was always a dream        
from a place I dared not look        
the cruelest truth        
ruling love imperfect--        
your majesty of tears        
     
But once        
away on the mountain        
gnawing earth alone with the crows        
there for a moment        
I felt certain        
though we never got to dance        
I almost glimpsed        
a perfect smile
from your soul

Botched Attempt At Release

Drowning in the deep
Secrets that you keep
Fires you stoke and treat
Cos you don't respect me at all

Heels on my tongue
Heart in my lungs
Now our bonds undone
Cos you don't respect me at all

It's over now
I'm sowed with doubt
Crawl with guts strung out
And I don't like me at all

Survived the fall
Can't find my gall
Now crumble, withdraw
Cos I don't respect me at all
