Broken
the ghosts of us pace and stare
amidst the abandoned hopes and lies of where
we sacrificed for dreams we prayed were true
echoing creaks from the stairs
a broken home with empty chairs
is all that's left of everything i knew
Come back
Come back
Come back, please
amidst the abandoned hopes and lies of where
we sacrificed for dreams we prayed were true
echoing creaks from the stairs
a broken home with empty chairs
is all that's left of everything i knew
Come back
Come back
Come back, please

Hypnotic
hypno, tick
hypno, tick
So hyp...notic
Like time melting away
Minutes drip into hours
Don't come back
Don't come back
This time
Staring into nothing
Thoughts swim and swirl
Around your skull
Wondering if it's better
To let go
So, hypnotic
Teach me what
Life is and how to be
Like you in every way
Gears turning
Slowly changing into
The one they need
To keep the world
Burning
Hypnotic
Hypnotic
Beat into my head
The chants to keep
Going on and...

Myself
Without the flowers
No one gives up attention
This is not pretty for me
This is not quite poetic
I am the essence of an overworked stress ball
I’m starting to scare myself
I am all that is obscurity
I am the personification of melancholy
The ones that care project themselves as if to sacrifice
But without the flowers, no one gives up attention
This is not in a dictionary
There is no reference mark
I sometimes forget to apologize to myself
I am not my life
I...

Carefully Irrational
My angel wears no halo
Resembling, more closely, a crown of thorns
Stabbing deeper every day
She cries out to me
But I'm too busy
Fighting off the ones
Pounding in the nails
Where do I begin
To make you understand?
It's not the broken road behind you
It's the fact that you're still pressing on
My angel wears no halo
Doesn't need light to shine
Flash forward through the years
Empty, save our hands clamped together
Standing ever vigilant
Guarding each other
In the stead of absent angels
Just...

The Last of Us Part 3 (fan fiction) Prologue
He's always there, anymore.
She doesn't dream; she relives the moments. So many bad ones, but one...That one. Snapping back into focus and she pulls the arrows out of the target. It's hard to keep from spacing out in total silence. No records played, no self-talk, no guitar. Just the void Dina left.
Then there's him. He never leaves. Staring from the treeline. Sometimes his voice comes as a whisper. Sometimes he's, like that... The routine only reinforces the stubbornness of the memory. Snapping back, again, she looses an arrow. It misses completely. Groaning...

Rule Eight
Dripping on the floor
The red silk runs smooth
Between my aching fingers
Suck in the smoke
Drifts up into my nose
Feels like breathing sulfur
Inhale and exhale
Chest heeving heavily
Sweat dripping in my eyes
Tonight we are all human
Fight your first night
Tonight we are all free
No anger, no hatred
Clinch the fist tightly
The journey starts now
Hair and fingernails
Go limp from pressure
Naked and ashamed
In Tyler we trust
In Tyler we trust
Another space...
The red silk runs smooth
Between my aching fingers
Suck in the smoke
Drifts up into my nose
Feels like breathing sulfur
Inhale and exhale
Chest heeving heavily
Sweat dripping in my eyes
Tonight we are all human
Fight your first night
Tonight we are all free
No anger, no hatred
Clinch the fist tightly
The journey starts now
Hair and fingernails
Go limp from pressure
Naked and ashamed
In Tyler we trust
In Tyler we trust
Another space...

Just Another
Rush by and swallow a dream
Echo chamber of memories
Flowing in like a stream
Killing what's left of me
Lamb to veal
Sweet tasting innocence
This is how we feel
When the numb sets in
Perfume on a grave
Sweetest flower
Such a shame
It has no power
Tired and worn
Blink again and you're home
Spiteful scorn
The perfect place to feel alone
Rambling of madness
Words and thoughts to toss aside
Irrevocable sadness
Like swallowing vomit, just to hide
Give me the words ...
Echo chamber of memories
Flowing in like a stream
Killing what's left of me
Lamb to veal
Sweet tasting innocence
This is how we feel

Perfume on a grave
Sweetest flower

Tired and worn
Blink again and you're home
Spiteful scorn
The perfect place to feel alone
Rambling of madness

Irrevocable sadness
Like swallowing vomit, just to hide

Blasphemy
Take a minute and reflect
Here we go
Shove it down
I killed my shadow
For a moment in the spotlight
I killed my shadow
For just a fucking minute
with the microphone
It's been a long time that no one has talked
About everything we know we need to talk about
But y'all be lying
It's been a while, but I can still remember
The last minute you still haven't checked
To see if I'm alive
Shove it down my throat
I killed my shadow
for a moment in the spotlight
I killed my shadow ...
Here we go
Shove it down
I killed my shadow
For a moment in the spotlight
I killed my shadow
For just a fucking minute
with the microphone
It's been a long time that no one has talked
About everything we know we need to talk about
But y'all be lying
It's been a while, but I can still remember
The last minute you still haven't checked
To see if I'm alive
Shove it down my throat
I killed my shadow
for a moment in the spotlight
I killed my shadow ...

Always
Long overdue and so short-lived
Just another four-letter word
Good is punished for a point of view
Evil is given a tie and fresh suit
I always knew it'd come to this
Clean your shovel to start the day
Don't know how much shit will come your way
Every day drifting closer to something
Death or enlightenment. nothing
I always knew it would come to this
Such a fragile sandcastle I've become
Tired and listless, I'm hollow and passed done
A roadmap to nowhere, memories lost to time
Hanuted by ghosts creaking in...

MISCELLANEOUS POEM

A Girl
Cold as the heart you hold
It's been years and tears brought nothing
Clutch the blade and beg for forgiveness
Nothing but regret and memories
Took your life to find your place
Gave your life away to any taker
Spend your time on jokes and sarcasm
Cover the scar with another tattoo
Eyes as blue as the ocean many have drowned in
A heart as big as the world you destroy
Fire in your soul, ice in your veins
You could be, you could be so much more
If you reached for me
If you called to me
Even out of desperation ...
It's been years and tears brought nothing

A heart as big as the world you destroy
Fire in your soul, ice in your veins
You could be, you could be so much more
If you reached for me
If you called to me
Even out of desperation ...
