Left Alone
Your life may have ended
But my nightmares did not
You abandoned me here
To fight them off alone
Lucky you get to rest
Whilst i cry in the battle
Of the night
The days are blended
Tightening the knot
Of a rope so drear
The misery has grown
As the grief will infest
Into the shackle
I can't fight
Without you, I've surrendered
To the dreams of distraught
Never a slumber without a tear
Is this Gods way to make me atone
For being ungrateful to what I had been blessed? ...

Overcast
Constantly had rain given me anxiety
The heart would pound, shoulders tensed
Cold weather piercing through bones
The most dreadful time of pain
But
Once a fond memory in the downpour
A house in ruins, much to clean and fix
No electricity, no running water, only a mess
Happy was i to restore what the past destroyed
There
The dirty dishware littered about by your ex
Who abandoned this abode in disarray
Left for you to sweep, scrub, and wash
The storm outside couldn't keep my help away
You
Had no water for...

Arrival
Its coming for me
I can see it already
The claws of despair
Will pull out my hair
And consume my being
Its coming for me
I can hear the deadly
Shriek of wrath declare
It'll drag me to its lair
And drown out my screaming
Its coming for me
I await dreadfully
Completely aware
That it was my affair
Inducing this price I'm paying
Its coming for me
I can see it already
The claws of despair
Will pull out my hair
And consume my being
Its coming for me
I can hear the deadly
Shriek of wrath declare
It'll drag me to its lair
And drown out my screaming
Its coming for me
I await dreadfully
Completely aware
That it was my affair
Inducing this price I'm paying
Its coming for me

Bitter Guilt
I'm supposed to be angry with you
At least that's what everyone says
Maybe i hold you in a light
Whilst sulking in the dark
How can I be angry
When it was my mistake?
I'm supposed to be angry for me
Constantly being reminded
That what you declared was cruel
But i can't help the pedestal
That i hold for you in spite
Of what you said
I make excuses for you
Create poems and art of you
Understanding why you spoke
Those ruthless words of fault
And accept...

Weakness
Shining
Is the blade
Before me.
Glistening
For yours truly
So brightly.
Craving
The blood
It seeks.
Personifying
Oh so lustrous
Sweet melodies.
Suggesting
The freedom
From within.
Resisting
The temptations
I will not give in
Is the blade
Before me.
Glistening
For yours truly
So brightly.
Craving
The blood
It seeks.
Personifying
Oh so lustrous
Sweet melodies.

The freedom
From within.
Resisting
The temptations
I will not give in

Numb Misery
The drink calls for me
Whispering calming release
The bitter always present
An attempt to hide with sweet
The cravings will not cease
A desire for the turmoil to relent
Her voice, once strong in memory
Fading into my own, holding on
To the honeyed words spoken
Once to be light and feathery
Now to be labored and gone
My spirit feels so broken
Do you know what she would say?
Every holiday when asked
What gift she seeks?
"You" she'd convey
"In that dress" said at last ...
Whispering calming release
The bitter always present
An attempt to hide with sweet
The cravings will not cease
A desire for the turmoil to relent
Her voice, once strong in memory
Fading into my own, holding on
To the honeyed words spoken

Now to be labored and gone
My spirit feels so broken
Do you know what she would say?

Like A Summer Rose
I just don't know what to do with myself
Trapped in misery of my own making
Blasting the same song over and over
Each turn met with sobbing and screaming
I just don't know what to do with myself
At first it was about the political climate
The dictatorship soon to embark
And my immediate thought after the results
Was how lucky you were to be dead
So you dont have to live in this calamity
I just don't know what to do with myself
Did you feel this intensely when you did it?
Was the future so bleak and numb to...

Time hurts
In the beginning of our relationship
During our adventures
Id jest with the phrase
"Youve been gone for so long!"
Though it was only 5 minutes
And the days youd cook dinner
Coming back from the kitchen with kisses
Id continue the jest
"You've been gone for so long!"
Though it was at most 20 minutes
But then i had to move
And saw you less than i wanted
But the days i finally got to see you
The phrase escaped my lips
"Youve been gone for so long!"
Though it was at...

Woe
My Rose
To claim you as mine
Is a rather selfish act
You were an unruly flower
Stifled by the culture
Yet presevered for so long
How i should've fought
Alongside you
My Rose
The light you held
Was brilliant
The love you carried
Deep in your soul
Was no match for the hate
This world drew
My Rose
My Soulmate
My Bestfriend
My biggest mistake
That i should've loved you
Harder than what you held
To claim you as mine
Is a rather selfish act
You were an unruly flower
Stifled by the culture
Yet presevered for so long
How i should've fought
Alongside you
My Rose
The light you held
Was brilliant
The love you carried
Deep in your soul
Was no match for the hate
This world drew
My Rose
My Soulmate
My Bestfriend
My biggest mistake
That i should've loved you
Harder than what you held

Insignificant
Always had been told I'm not alone
But in sorrow, I'm unaccompanied
In solitary, observing others live life
Whilst watching afar in a tower
People occasionally reach though
And it is always unwelcomed
Isolated from the beginning
Never kept others close, not by choice
Those who dwell nearby for a while
Begin to drift into the world
Leaving me behind and forgotten
Cannot blame those who leave
There wasn't much reason to stay
I hadn't allowed it
The one sole person shown
The depths of my soul
Chose...
But in sorrow, I'm unaccompanied
In solitary, observing others live life
Whilst watching afar in a tower
People occasionally reach though
And it is always unwelcomed
Isolated from the beginning
Never kept others close, not by choice
Those who dwell nearby for a while
Begin to drift into the world
Leaving me behind and forgotten
Cannot blame those who leave
There wasn't much reason to stay

Holiday Dread
Each year the same question asked
Every holiday the unchanged answer given
How absurd those responses were
Yet the cycle followed with giggles
Yearning for the past
Dreading the present
What I'd do to hear her
And fill the day with smiles
So lonely these days last
When will it be pleasant
That feeling such a blur
How long will i keep going through life's trials
Every holiday the unchanged answer given
How absurd those responses were
Yet the cycle followed with giggles
Yearning for the past
Dreading the present
What I'd do to hear her
And fill the day with smiles
So lonely these days last
When will it be pleasant
That feeling such a blur
How long will i keep going through life's trials
