What She Really Got From Smoking
She thought that smoking
would make her look cool but that
was before she got cancer.
would make her look cool but that

Ice and Roses (repost)
Quantifying heartache on the scale of time
All the firsts reopen the wounds
And occasions can only be so special without you
Despite theoretical hopes
My faith's will to reminisce
Imagination is all I've got
But my mind can't fake true happiness
Relapse in sadness
I medicate as I live in madness
When the heart is lost for withdraws
And the pages are my vice
I'll write a thousand letters to you
But you're the missing part of a moment's paradise
Good advice given to lull the absence
All the beautiful...
All the firsts reopen the wounds
And occasions can only be so special without you
Despite theoretical hopes
My faith's will to reminisce
Imagination is all I've got
But my mind can't fake true happiness
Relapse in sadness
I medicate as I live in madness
When the heart is lost for withdraws
And the pages are my vice
I'll write a thousand letters to you
But you're the missing part of a moment's paradise
Good advice given to lull the absence
All the beautiful...

Jigsaw Ashes (repost)
Puzzled, I begin without a reference point to resolve the picture
And what is this conundrum but a portion of a grander scope
When you are the missing part of everything
As I face a world I've never known before
A life without you
Jigsaw circumstances and the pieces I can't put back into place
No way to make sense of lost days
When every day without you feels like a breath I can't catch
Like oxygen, you have been robbed from my lungs
And I'm learning how to breathe this air polluted by your absence
My heart beats but I am seeping...
And what is this conundrum but a portion of a grander scope
When you are the missing part of everything
As I face a world I've never known before
A life without you
Jigsaw circumstances and the pieces I can't put back into place
No way to make sense of lost days
When every day without you feels like a breath I can't catch
Like oxygen, you have been robbed from my lungs
And I'm learning how to breathe this air polluted by your absence
My heart beats but I am seeping...

You Are A Song That Never Ends (repost)
Caught up in these feelings that I can't shake
Just when I think I've adjusted
I'm still lost in the feelings of residual heartbreak
For all that I know and the by the book answers
I contend to bask in a meditation of joy
Yet I find myself defaulted to involuntary wallow
When reality is too tough to chew, I choke as I swallow
Good and bad days
Caught between movement and standing still
It still feels like I could call you just as easily
And you'd answer all the same
Yet knowing what you'd say is a poor substitute for...

Broken Serenade (repost)
Starting from the ending
A long and drawn out farewell
Not to say goodbye just another way to tell
What words to console
Finding closure for my heart
When grieving is like an open wound
Time does its best to mend us
As blood ferments on the skin
It's not so potent as the first incision
But pain accompanies the joys intoxication
Beneath every smile is an unspoken tear
And all I can say is that I wish you were here
Did it take tragedy to unite us?
Derailing all that gets in the way
Loss makes night of even...
A long and drawn out farewell

Finding closure for my heart

As blood ferments on the skin

But pain accompanies the joys intoxication
Beneath every smile is an unspoken tear
And all I can say is that I wish you were here
Did it take tragedy to unite us?
Derailing all that gets in the way

The Unforgotten (repost)
Writing like the illustration of a whisper
The outlined cries of an unspoken heart
Every reflection perceived through the eyes of another
Is both the truth and the lie of its image
Something gets unlocked in me
Layered beneath this depth of perception
Reading ourselves into inkblot literature
What is the ash but a forest that took flight in sparks?
Only to cascade on us
Like the precipitation of a former flame
Carried off in a still life flood of vacant memory
What do you see in the aftermath of the scenery?
When...
The outlined cries of an unspoken heart
Every reflection perceived through the eyes of another
Is both the truth and the lie of its image
Something gets unlocked in me

Only to cascade on us
Like the precipitation of a former flame
Carried off in a still life flood of vacant memory

I'M NOT UPSET NOR DO I REGRET
They say that we all have that moment in our lives, when we must decide to live or to die for example life, wasn't never a promise to live forever but to have the opportunity to experience the world. For I am not UPSET about the final episode of my life, for you see I have already excepted the FAITH of my future in heart and soul. So as I exchange the process of being in a position, to understand what it means to go through the procedure of dealing. With prostate cancer treatment with radiation therapy, too later turn into a tumor treated with steroids and if that wasn't enough. You have lung...

Too Far For Comfort (repost)
How do I say it any better
To offer some insight in an after death love letter
To commemorate and honor the memory of you
As wisdom pleads with my footsteps
To transcend these words and let them become what I do
Enough about me and my reflection
You're an unseen sight to behold
Caught on a thought as I attempt to utter your brilliance
Anything beautiful and the only thing worth mentioning in me
Is the fact that I'm just the offspring of your undying legacy
Surely you are still alive in me
As I think to reminisce on what...

Dirt (repost)
I try to fathom what my mind cannot
Just weeks ago you were there
And after a last breath, your soul vanished
Exhale and faded into thin air
Miles from your bedside
And yet as close as the heart
I had to let you go involuntarily
It is tearing me apart
Your body returns to ashes
And all that is left is dirt
Trying to hold on to a sunnier disposition
Yet I can't help but feel the hurt
Just telling it like it is
Straight out and confessing the shaking
When every day without you is a fresh sense of loss ...
Just weeks ago you were there
And after a last breath, your soul vanished
Exhale and faded into thin air
Miles from your bedside
And yet as close as the heart
I had to let you go involuntarily
It is tearing me apart
Your body returns to ashes
And all that is left is dirt
Trying to hold on to a sunnier disposition
Yet I can't help but feel the hurt
Just telling it like it is
Straight out and confessing the shaking
When every day without you is a fresh sense of loss ...

Sing A Song (repost)
Eyes so full of hope
What vision we saw
When from the ice
Frozen in time
The moments began to thaw
How long it took to come full circle
After all that we went through
Our hopes collision with tragedy
I'm broken inside but I'm happy for you
What is death but an empty threat
Except the thief of our years
Who might've known
The thought of what was once my comfort
Is every memory made of tears
I don't know how to say goodbye
And all I can remember is feeling like a stranger to you
Your every word got...
What vision we saw

What is death but an empty threat
Except the thief of our years

Broken Mind (repost)
Do I speak too real for comfort
Or just something relative to our limited point of view
When lies feel like the truth
And I constantly remind myself of what is true
Yet I struggle to believe or just broadcast for theatrics
Just to have something to say
To prove my existence matters
In some message I convey
What if I told you
Every joy feels like a set up for sorrow
When the daylight of today is but a memory
And I've grown to resent time for the dread of tomorrow
To think of how the patterns play out
When a...
