All the care and attention
you paid to artistry,
decorating and home comforts;
all the strength and energy spent
attempting to counter-balance
count for nothing
when the house you built
on uneven foundations
comes tumbling

Breaking Up
Some of the simplest things seem hardest to do
I could've spent more time or remembered, "I Love You"
Walking through life, following the same old lines
You giving me yours and me keeping mine
Simple conversation easy going at first
Soon emotions unravel ending in an outburst
There's a lot to happen between now and tomorrow
Things that can't be changed like hurt and sorrow
Saying, " I don't care if you leave"
Was more than both could believe
But loud mouths with tempers flaring
Won't allow compromise, no more...

Apologies
What if I told you that I'm truly sorry Lady
That I really love you Lady
I know that you've heard this all before baby
But could you please forgive me once more, maybe
What if I promised not to ever do it, not to ever make you cry again
I know now that I should had felt your pain
For whatever reason sometimes life isn't properly prioritize
The most important things end up on the bottom of the list, and you don't realize
But this time I know things can't remain the same
I know that I have to change, my list has to be rearranged

Mental Breakdown poem
I feel my mind slipping away like a melting icecube on on a slab of polished concrete in the sun .
A night out of self abuse an mental disfunctions brings the worst out in a person.
The drink , the girls , the pointless hookups trying to fill the void that my heart once used to reside before she tore it from my chest ,
Playing catchup on lost time , time that I know true and well I can't get back, I don't want it back , I cherished every moment with her ,
The thought of biting down on the cold barrel of a shotgun brings me solice , knowing that that it all ends , one...

I lost all my friends
One day you're all together
Another day Years have gone by
I lost most of my friends
Some are gettin married
Others have kids
I lost all of my friends
There hasn't been a formal
Ceremony to admit to this
But really it's time to accept this
I tried to reach out to everyone
Yet that too faded away
Things just aren't the same
The nostalgia doesn't last long
Soon you find yourself losing touch
In a era in which people are always
on their phones, it's crazy how hard

Cosmic Relation
Standing on Mars looking at Pluto
Yes towards the dark and baby you know
Like a bad kid placed face to face with a corner
I willingly admit I deserve to be a loner
Standing far out in space
I see comets running by and I long to give chase
Just me and my comet zooming through dark matter
Ice cold love, I know, but it doesn't matter
Of the two of us, no one can get hurt
She don't give a dam about me and I don't give a fuck about her
Just two beings traveling the same path
Out here all alone, who can argue about half

Broken Box
Have you ever hung in a pile of trash
Have you ever slept next to your Mother’s ash
Or died in a room that haunts
Whilst terrorised by such unkempt thoughts
I have lived in hollows bare
And empty shells of past
Piggy-backed on those who care
To make any sordid lie last
There is no line nor word-
No syllable or rhyme,
That can ever expunge
my rancid hate and crime
Locked in these walls
Field and death heads combine
I always wish for erasure
A life led half held and divine
...

Rollercoaster
Truth be told, I probably should have
ended up with you.
With your fleeting, stoic comfort
and manic disposition.
Those tight hugs that hurt in all of
the best ways. I've never recreated them.
Watching like old times as you'd drift off like a narcoleptic before the sun even set.
And what I wouldn't give for you to devour your food, and half of mine again. Grinning as I hear you lie to me.
Surviving your emotional Rollercoaster one final time.
Because you were always my favourite ride.

The Filament
There was this invisible thread
I know that’s so cliché really
But there it was, only perceivable in the right light
For me it was moonlight
For her it was sunlight
But oh how it shone
So bright everyone could see
Could see us, us together, us happy, us bonded and bound to one another
Us
We felt like it was strong, so strong
Like maybe if we went fishing it could reel in a shark
Not even the shark would see it coming
For me it felt like sturdy concrete
For her it felt like a sailor’s rope
Strong for me, flexible for...

You don’t deserve to be on my mind
I miss the way things used to be,
When I knew you and you knew me.
I miss when your words were true,
and I know that I shouldn't.
For you I'd take a bullet.
Even though you wouldn't,
Do the same.
I am not the only one to blame.
I miss everything.
I know in my heart you're never coming back,
and thank god for that.
But I'm still haunted by our past.
When I knew you and you knew me.
I miss when your words were true,
and I know that I shouldn't.
For you I'd take a bullet.
Even though you wouldn't,
Do the same.
I am not the only one to blame.
I miss everything.
I know in my heart you're never coming back,
and thank god for that.
But I'm still haunted by our past.

Before and after you
I want to bloom with the flowers
Or flow with the air
Get lost in time for hours
And live with no care
I want to burn with the sun
And shine like the moon
Live with beings as one
And maybe
Just maybe you’ll come back too
But flowers don’t bloom
Not in this weather that I’m under
And you seem to have gotten lost with another
I don’t feel the air flowing through my lungs
I feel the hatred I’ve inhaled
Hatred you spout in your lying tongue
But you could care less if my breathing is ailed
Your...

Goodbye Forever
I thought what we had was special,
But apparently only partial,
Only to me was this really something,
To you I was only a plaything,
Someone you could call pretty,
Then not talk to me for days, petty.
I know you're going through depression that you can't hide,
But that doesn't mean you can drag my heart along for the ride,
Don't worry,
I am not angry,
Just hurt, you see,
I wanted to call you my girlfriend,
But now I can't even call you my friend,
Because that would be a grim reminder of what I thought could be,
So around...
