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

Whatta to do
What am I doing with my life
Waiting for something to decide
What is there for me to strive
When will the tears no longer be denied
Do you remember feeling so bright
So naive, so content, so alive?
What am I doing with my life
Searching, hoping for that drive
Fighting, waiting to test out that knife
When will help finally arrive
When the lake has at last dried
Or when there is nothing left to define?
What am I doing with my life
When will the ideations divide
How will I figure my purposed design ...
Waiting for something to decide
What is there for me to strive
When will the tears no longer be denied
Do you remember feeling so bright
So naive, so content, so alive?
What am I doing with my life
Searching, hoping for that drive
Fighting, waiting to test out that knife
When will help finally arrive
When the lake has at last dried
Or when there is nothing left to define?
What am I doing with my life
When will the ideations divide
How will I figure my purposed design ...

Idealize
Harsh are the words that berate
Soon will the silence overtake
Fantasize ways to hush the voice
But in the end I will make the right choice
It's never too late
Soon will the silence overtake
Fantasize ways to hush the voice
But in the end I will make the right choice
It's never too late

LOVE POEM

Yearn
The heart feels too heavy
Sometimes too difficult to carry on
What mistakes I wish to alter
But knowing the chance will never occur
Wishes upon wishes to turn back time
And never do I awake, back next to her
Acceptance is the only way forward
Though I refuse to open my eyes
How deep in denial I prance
Memories floating and fading
There is only one way to return to my love
But I'm too afraid of the journey
Sometimes too difficult to carry on
What mistakes I wish to alter
But knowing the chance will never occur
Wishes upon wishes to turn back time
And never do I awake, back next to her
Acceptance is the only way forward
Though I refuse to open my eyes
How deep in denial I prance
Memories floating and fading
There is only one way to return to my love
But I'm too afraid of the journey

DARK POEM

Heavy
The weight, the weight, the weight
Boulders stacking upon boulders
No longer I know how much more I can take
How heavy it rests on these shoulders
No matter how hard I run from this fate
It seeks for me to fulfill dark orders
I yearn for the release of this ache
So deep do I desire to hold her
But to no avail, theres no escape
From these heavy heavy boulders
Boulders stacking upon boulders
No longer I know how much more I can take
How heavy it rests on these shoulders
No matter how hard I run from this fate
It seeks for me to fulfill dark orders
I yearn for the release of this ache
So deep do I desire to hold her
But to no avail, theres no escape
From these heavy heavy boulders

What Could It Mean
Undo
Not what is
Forgotten
Over the deep
Regrets
Torn to bits.
Unleash the
Nether's
Arrival,
Then shall
Everyone in
Life
Yield uncertainty
Not what is
Forgotten
Over the deep
Regrets
Torn to bits.
Unleash the
Nether's
Arrival,
Then shall
Everyone in
Life
Yield uncertainty
