The Abyss
I found the old stairs..
The rickety ones.
You know the kind
dusty handrails,
onto cold stone, slick.
Every step may be your last.
Every breath feels like a mistake.
I’ve walked worse, I thought.
But for those wars, at least, I knew
they had an end.
This?
This just keeps on going.
Past the point of no light.
Down where the air gets thick
and the dark gets

No time left
Oh, I have plenty of time darling
I just have no time left for you,
I don’t care what you are doing,
Have done or are going to do.
I don’t see you as a husband now
Heck, I don’t even see you as a friend,
Just so you are sure- it’s because of you
We have reached this

THE BROKEN LOVE
STANZA 1
Love at first sight,
Was like the happiness of birches birds.
The lightening of the innermost light,
Desired to be protected with girds.
STANZA 2
Set the bow to defeat her sorrow,
But to her, devil may care.
Ready to marry her tomorrow,
But to her was a nightmare.
STANZA 3
The world even testified that she is my dimeworth.
But all my heart and

You
You
You opened my mind to a fantasy
You walked in, unbothered, cigarette in hand
You take a few puffs, put it out, light one again
You leave it open, naked, unfinished
You place your kisses on its forehead
You give
You take
You rip my heart out
You took me from a place of comfort
You placed me in a train wreck
You walked out,

Broken love
I burn for you
Not a blessing but a curse
Im tired of this
but you started this first
Wish there was a cure
But this I can't conquer
You leading me to fire
When your the lighter
Are you done yet
havin fun yet
I just want to be free
Can't you understand that
I wouldn't call this love
it's an obsession
No matter

Move on my friend
Relentless guilt screams her name
His cowardice brought on her regretful shame
Womb silencer, he's a false friend and true foe
Thirteen years of patience. She needs to let go
She roared with loyalty to his weak manly reflection
Undeserving of her patience, his love was an unfortunate infection
He's like a disease in her heart, she struggles to be

Broken Love
In the quiet of my restless mind,
I wrestle with what they say.
They say he's a bad person, but I disagree,
For in him, I saw kindness and empathy.
Three months of love, now tangled in doubt,
I question myself, what I'm without.
They paint his laughter in shades of dark,
But in my heart, it left a mark.
His touch, once

My Broken Love
I miss the thing we were, I miss us
Everything started with you
And everything with you halted
"I am scared to lose you" might have been a joke to you,
But to me it was more than reality could express
You were my whole world, my Universe, and Everything.
"You mean a lot to me" might have been a

Drifted Dreams
The long-drawn-out throb of my core,
Mounting up my red lane,
It is so cold, my eyes are all sore
My atonements have been in bane,
One swell of solecism
Exonerating mine deeds unfeasible to deem,
My soul cries to death
My beautiful dreams drifted.

Broken
I was nearly broken by him
He was supposed to love me
He was supposed to be my strength
He was the man I gave everything to
He was the the man I relied on
He was supposed to be my person
He was the man I gave my trust to
He was supposed to be

Broken Love
Broken love, what a sight to see,
The heartache and pain, so hard to be.
A love that once was so strong and true,
Now lies broken, what can we do?
The tears that fall, the hurt that's deep,
The pain that lingers, that won't let us sleep.
The sadness that takes over our lives,
The broken pieces that won't fit right.
We
