I grew up hoping
I was special
But you made me believe
It was true
Revelation rides the wind
Like foam upon the waves
And I long to hear
What it has to say
But fear it meaning
The end of us
Kisses between
Desperate mouths
Inhaling like a drag
From a cheap cigarette
Remembering a time
When all we desired
Were words
Instead of actions
A rumble in the fog
Tells me I am not alone.
Quickened breaths
Faster steps
I try to flee
What stalks me in the dark
But when the fog clears
I see an empty field
Where the weeds have grown
Unkempt
And i wonder how i am meant
To trust others
When i can barely trust
Myself
Do you ever think
That if they could see us now
They would be ashamed
Of what we’ve become?
Lilac words
And lavender hallucinations
Illuminate a world
That is better off
Without me in it
The world watched
As the moon wept
Silver tears
In remembrance
Of us
In the darkest light
Of morning
I see the outline of your face
An illusion
That I trace
With cold fingers
Which long to be warmed
By you
If it takes me falling
For you to fly
Then I would plummet
A thousand miles
For you to soar
Again
I tried to catch the cosmos
In a little jar
But found it far too quick
For me
To reach any of the stars
Someday I'll stop waiting
For a love thats come and gone
I know that it wont get here
But I hope to God I'm wrong
You are the road
Less traveled
And the girl
Less loved
But that doesn't mean
You're worthless
We walked in the garden
Of love in my heart
Where everything should be
Wilting
But the damn flowers
Refuse to die
The world fell silent
But still you dance
With movements flowing
Like a newborn river
Knowing the path
The pattern
The way
But still unable to take it
Snow capped kisses
Melt beneath your gaze
As we set out on a path
To nowhere
In hopes that someday
We will stumble upon
Something greater
Than ourselves
Tonight lets dance
Like daffodils
In a hurricane
Beautiful, flying
Braving the gusts
Of wind
That threaten to tear us
Apart
I didn't know I loved
An idiot
Until he said
He loved me too
You said that I looked different
And I told you I was free
Because now, after all this time
I’m focusing on me
I reached into the empty space
Beside me
And felt nothing but the cold
Pale sheets
Which once brought us together
But now
Only find pleasure in tearing us
ApartÂ
Never in my life before
Have i felt this unfulfilling ache
Which rises with the rosy sun
But never seems to set
At twilight
In the shakey moments
Between wake and sleep
I let loose the tears
That I didn’t let you see
They fall upon my pillow
And transform into rust
Reminding me that we
Are nothing more
Than dust
Like how language
Gets jumbled over time,
We became two mouths
Tangled in our misery.
Each meaning the same thing
Yet unable to comprehend
The other.
Are we not both proclaiming love
But losing the feeling
By the tossing and turning
Of borrowed time?
I cant help but feel
That i deserve better
Or at the least
I deserve more
Than this
Its 6:00 in the morning
I'd rather be in bed
Sleeping, waiting
Hibernating
For another day
Instead
The mountain mist
(And the paleness of its shroud)
Is a constant reminder
(In the darkness of my thoughts)
Of how much I really
(Unknowingly, but undoubtedly)
Missed you
Your shoulders are littered
With meaningless tatoos
Inky reminders
That cannot be removed
So here is new mistake
For you to wear around
And maybe it will mean something
When i am nowhere to be found
I wandered into the purple mist
And listened to the eerie croaks
Of creatures in the dark
Paying no mind
To the smoke and haze
That smothers out my spark
If we are all as dead
As we claim to be
Then are we merely
Skeletal actors
Playing the role of a man
And stiffly mimicking
The beating of a heart?
Somewhere deep
In this scaffolding of bones
My heart aches
For love
And the stars
An amber tinted room
Grey with clouds of smoke
That make my head spin
Like a vinyl record
Spiraling down
Until all i know
Are your violet eyes
And our desperate howls
Beneath the crimson moon
