Absent the Hunger
I heard the birds
chose not to rise
tears betray
my blurry eyes
Resting here
unable to sleep
unknown reasons
for why I weep
I am not meant
to exist today
how I feel
no words convey
Devoid of senses
empty, numb
no smell or flavour
seems to come
Absent the hunger
deficient desire
without even a start
decision to retire
chose not to rise
tears betray
my blurry eyes
Resting here
unable to sleep
unknown reasons
for why I weep
I am not meant
to exist today
how I feel
no words convey
Devoid of senses
empty, numb
no smell or flavour
seems to come
Absent the hunger
deficient desire
without even a start
decision to retire

Hope
Where are you now?
I need to find you
And since I am sharing
Im losing my mind too
Dont know why I wake up
My lifes spiraling down
Im missing the one that can turn it around
I pushed you aside
I built up a wall
To protect myself
From the pain of the fall
Are you still there?
Starved from not being fed?
If I tear down this wall would i find you there dead?
I don't deserve it
But could use you right now
The way I treated you
Can you forgive me somehow?
Cuz I'm struggling...
I need to find you
And since I am sharing
Im losing my mind too
Dont know why I wake up
My lifes spiraling down
Im missing the one that can turn it around
I pushed you aside
I built up a wall
To protect myself
From the pain of the fall
Are you still there?
Starved from not being fed?
If I tear down this wall would i find you there dead?
I don't deserve it
But could use you right now
The way I treated you
Can you forgive me somehow?

Frozen in Motion
Leaden gray sky weeps
Pitter patter of the rain
A chill wind bites
Lost senses, wandering gaze
People living on
Yet, here, i froze
Imprisoned within
Stuck in a loop
That strangles my breath
Its weight, oh so heavy
Making me break instead
Whispers that hold me down
Ghosts that haunt me down
Lost in my own path
Aching for a light to pierce through
Pitter patter of the rain
A chill wind bites
Lost senses, wandering gaze
People living on
Yet, here, i froze
Imprisoned within
Stuck in a loop
That strangles my breath
Its weight, oh so heavy
Making me break instead
Whispers that hold me down
Ghosts that haunt me down
Lost in my own path
Aching for a light to pierce through

Seven Times
Some say
we are heading in a very bad direction
time to pack up
need to be moving on
close my eyes
the sun warms my face with reflection
this anger inside
i've got to get it gone
down again
like the other times before
little slower, little grayer
age has no cure
i'm gonna put an application on the other side of that gate
been down seven times
i'll get up eight
our little girl
got sick with the onset of winter ...

Embrace the solitude
Always wanting more and never getting it
Following your heart and you keep regretting it
Leads you to disappointment and you keep letting it
Never won a hand but you keep betting it
all...taking chances hoping someone will stay true
Making excuses for every hurtful thing they do
If you love them hard enough they cant help but love you
can't love yourself so you find someone else to give it to
Putting them on a pedestal they can't help but fall from
It's so dumb
But your mind's numb
There's the beat of a drum
In your chest

Sociopath.
What do they understand?
Why do they assume we’re all the same?
There’s something dark in me
‘Something that shouldn’t be released
For their own good, I attempt to leave
They don’t see my smile, the way I do
It’s meant to make you fall in
It’s meant to allure you,
so I can shred you with my own teeth.
My kindness, is a facade, my innocence
Created to play with you.
I often wonder why God, gave me this ability
I just want to love, to comfort
Unintentionally, I hurt.
I seek to harm.
Pretending to offer a warm hug,...

Skin Hunger
It's so long since I felt your touch.
How do we sleep in the same bed and not even graze each other?
You pushed me away,
With self-deprecating statements.
You tell me you are sorry.
As I suffer from your exile.
Till death we said.
How did we die?
Laying in this bed.

With self-deprecating statements.

Deafening Scream 6/20/23
We’re all screaming over each other and no one can’t make out their own voices. The suffering is so loud we don’t even realize we’ve gone deaf, because it continues in our heads. Covering the ears only makes the sound clearer, making noise adds to the sound itself. It’s finds a way to make every second of living torture. Deaths whisper calls out in this chaos, a brief moment of relief before it fades out again and I’m stuck here unable to listen. What a fucking tease.

What is sin doing among you?
If you belief what is sin doing among you?
you carry cruelty within your hearts
you carry hatred in your breathe.
yet you say you belief,
what sort of belief is this?
when sin lives among you?
how many must die in the name of your god?
how many must suffer under the tyranny of the cloth?
How many cries must echo in hallowed halls?
How many prayers must falter,
how many tears must fall?
Yet you claim to believe,
What is sin doing among you?
with conviction so hollow,
When sin casts its shadow and sorrow...
you carry cruelty within your hearts
you carry hatred in your breathe.

The in between
The darkness is closing in
I hear it banging on the walls
Of my mind, my soul and everything within
Listening to the sound of my breath as it stalls
Everything comes rushing in at a pace thats hard to bear
Reaching for a hand but no one is there
Can anyone see me or do they just not care
Thinking of happy times I get lost in a stare
In between worlds I refuse to let go
Grasping at ghosts as my hand slips through
How could I ever possibly not know
From the beginning it was only you
The whole time its been you
I hear it banging on the walls
Of my mind, my soul and everything within
Listening to the sound of my breath as it stalls
Everything comes rushing in at a pace thats hard to bear
Reaching for a hand but no one is there
Can anyone see me or do they just not care
Thinking of happy times I get lost in a stare
In between worlds I refuse to let go
Grasping at ghosts as my hand slips through
How could I ever possibly not know
From the beginning it was only you
The whole time its been you

I will write you a poem
In verses woven with longing, I shall write,
Ensnared by the merciless breaker of our union,
Your absence suffocates, a relentless ache,
And through these words, I'll share my nightmares.
Nightmares born from the depths of my being,
Whispering tales of farewell and separation,
The night itself, a somber bride to my sorrow,
Embracing me tightly in your absence's wake.
I shall narrate the tale of a numbing cold,
An icy grip freezing the depths within,
A barren landscape bereft of your warmth,
A void that engulfs me in its...

Living the lie doesnt make it the truth
Why can't i get this feeling of emptiness to go away?
Why do i feel disappointed that i woke up every day?
Just another day of hating myself and putting up a front
Like im fine and nothings bothering me, my self esteem is taking the brunt
I know that Im worthless so how could anyone want me?
I can never become the person they'd want me to be
Constantly second and third guessing myself makes me act so erratic
My thoughts are so disjointed that it all just seems like static
Constant barrage of "you're not shit",...
