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
Desiring for the anguish 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 ...

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 first thought after the results
Was how lucky you were to be dead
So you dont have to live in this agony
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 you?
Was it...

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 least 4...

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

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

Petals
There once was a Rose hidden from sunlight
Even in the shadows it shone so bright
Thorns so sharp, though seldom inflict spite
Through harsh times, it prospered with all its might
But plucked were the Petals by those close
Abused and battered by the lowest of the lows
Afraid to blossom only for them to dispose
Deserving to flourish in the most beautiful of meadows
Even in the shadows it shone so bright
Thorns so sharp, though seldom inflict spite
Through harsh times, it prospered with all its might
But plucked were the Petals by those close
Abused and battered by the lowest of the lows
Afraid to blossom only for them to dispose
Deserving to flourish in the most beautiful of meadows

Another Drink
Take a sip
On an empty stomach
Watch the world go by
And do nothing
Take a sip
Drown the noise out
From the outside in
And fix nothing
Take a sip
Then another
Til there's no one left
And be nothing
Take a sip
On an empty stomach
Watch the world go by
And do nothing
Take a sip
Drown the noise out
From the outside in
And fix nothing
Take a sip
Then another
Til there's no one left
And be nothing
Take a sip

Haunting
Once was i told
Id see the signs
Given as her spirit
I hoped it something i controlled
But unlucky am i
Written in the designs
What made me desperate
Was a curse, never shy
Anguish and illness
It is her between the lines
That I must accept it
Deserving not of her forgiveness
Id see the signs
Given as her spirit
I hoped it something i controlled
But unlucky am i
Written in the designs
What made me desperate
Was a curse, never shy
Anguish and illness
It is her between the lines
That I must accept it
Deserving not of her forgiveness

Potato Soup
Many years ago you made Potato Soup
Every time i asked
You'd take the time, effort and love into making that soup
While i relaxed
Watching tv
Or playing on my phone.
I didn't realize
How much Time
It took to make that Potato Soup
Until i had to peel the potatoes
I didn't realize
How much Effort
It took to make that Potato Soup
Until the bacon was cooked
And my god
I didn't realize how much Love
It took to serve me that Potato Soup
As i did nothing to deserve it
Every time i asked
You'd take the time, effort and love into making that soup
While i relaxed
Watching tv
Or playing on my phone.
I didn't realize
How much Time
It took to make that Potato Soup
Until i had to peel the potatoes
I didn't realize
How much Effort
It took to make that Potato Soup
Until the bacon was cooked
And my god
I didn't realize how much Love
It took to serve me that Potato Soup
As i did nothing to deserve it

Block
Tick tock
I watch the clock
Does it see me too?
As I stand still as a rock
Tick tock
Whispers the clock
How did time pass so quickly?
Is it I it wishes to mock?
Tick tock
Giggles the clock
Straining for my freedom
And escape this block
I watch the clock
Does it see me too?
As I stand still as a rock
Tick tock
Whispers the clock
How did time pass so quickly?
Is it I it wishes to mock?
Tick tock
Giggles the clock
Straining for my freedom
And escape this block
