Wicked smile, turned dust,
Two halves of a broken soul,
Nothing left to chase.
Lost in a blizzard's cold snowdrifts,
please know, I appreciate your gifts -
a plethora of desolation,
loneliness and isolation,
a pincushion of every harm,
empty hands and empty arms,
a surplus and a plenitude
of everlasting solitude,
a kaleidoscope of emotional pain
torrents of rainbowless rain,
a carousel of cosmic confusion,
a cornucopia of disillusion.
I'll raise a glass, and just say, "Cheers!"
and return a reservoir of tears.
I cry silently,
My soul has wounds.
My breath pins,
In my chest.
My eyes tired,
Heavy, dry, & red.
My rest brings,
No comfort.
My face is empty,
A person not there.
Lost is my soul,
Wondering within.
Disconnection,
Punishment,
Withdrawal,
Unbearable.
Where is the smiling face of love
that I dream of...
the gentle touch
that means so much?
Where are the words I long to hear
that bring you near
and warm my heart
while we're apart?
I cannot help but feel the chill,
and though you still
light up my dreams,
that's all, it seems.
He turns on the lights
I close my eyes
To slip back into another life
The one in my dreams
Where you’re still here with me
Though you feel impossible to keep
Sometimes I can’t find you
Still searching my way through
Holding onto what we once knew
And when you return to me
It’s never peacefully
Never with any certainty
Because there’s always something in the way
A different distance every day
And you were never meant to stay
Do crowds make you feel unseen?
Wish someone knew your name
What would it feel like to be heard?
Maybe you need break the silence.
You’re mouth makes no sound
Footprints leave no trace
Your heart forgets it’s warmth
No one calls your name
You wander through the crowd
Wrapped within a shroud
No one seems to care
You are a nothing but air.
No pain cuts deeper
Than being unseen
Nothing more crushing
As having no voice.
When walking a busy street
Notice the shadow.
When looking at a sunset
Hear the unspoken words.
See the quiet in the crowd,
Hear words left unspoken
Love begins the moment
We choose to see the shadow ….
Searching deep in darkened places,
Reaching into vacant spaces,
I touch only shadowy faces….
Where are you?
Empty caves in endless mountains,
Dusty, dry, neglected fountains,
Pathless, groping I move, hoping.
Where are you?
Past songless birds on leafless trees,
Across waveless oceans, and silent
seas, through fumbling nights that
find no day,
I move and try to find my way.
I
Had long
Lost my wings
And abandoned
The heavens above,
Living within the earth
To be tread upon until
My bones, my eyes, my heart, wore down -
Forgotten amongst the soil once more.
My discontentment drowns within the mud
And leaves only a gouging longing.
Tell me a story where I can
Open my dirtied wings wide
And take that final leap;
There's no need for graves
Or tombstones when
I already
Dug the
Hole.
Another minute passes
Another one is gone
The sun has fully faded
Safe to hide until dawn
An observer of this mess
A passenger on this ride
Backed into the corner
While golden children thrive
When uncertainty invades
Stomach fills with dread
Make amends with myself
Before heartbreak comes again
Self-worth is a fragile egg
As is heart, soul, and mind
Hanging on by a thread
Just trying to stay alive
Shadows depressed along silent walls;
Loneliness aches where sunlight fails.

Master, you look dreadful.
Giving cold shoulders, second nature.
Posture slacking, worn clothes.
Bloodshot eyes fade into the background.
A change in gravity, pulling with all its might.
No more tears left to leave stains.
An avalanche interrupting my tranquility.
An unoriginal copy, just a mannequin.
Heavens, master.
You’re not singing.
Amidst the icy fortress of solitude,
snow and ice reign down.
As the ice pierces its way through the armor,
madness sinks farther into this bruised ribcage.
The sheer cold slowly seeps into the skin.
As it transforms this vessel into a cold heart,
frostbite traps these emotions in time.
Not fear nor sadness, just lifeless and numb.
A lack of peace, a restless mind.
We can remain as we are,
forever and ever.
Geese are never all alone.
They live everywhere together.
But I am an ugly gosling always alone.
Meanwhile my family has each other.
Geese are always flying free.
While I live so flightlessly,
They live their lives and just be.
I am on my own and free, but I'm lonely.
You’re not here with me tonight
But you haven’t been in awhile
I believe you’re coming home again
That’s the beauty of being in denial
That ship has long ago set sail
Any bridges burned and torn down
With my shattered heart and regrets
I’m a failed king without a crown
I turned a love so amazing and pure
Into this loneliness and heartbreak
With out of my life is falling all apart
I caused more pain than I can take
I’m searching for any sign of hope
Stuck between denial and reality
Praying you will knowing you won’t
Some day come back home to me
I got lost coming home tonight
To my surprise, the room was empty
You were not there, sweetie
The bed was made and the floor was bright.
I miss you, I miss you dearly
The room was very cold and sad
Like a lover who’s desperate and mad
Frankly, my heart felt weak and empty.
Your shadow was absent
Your silhouette was inexistent
You were not present in the room.
One can effortlessly hear a domestic silence
Which was afraid to bother the broom
I’m lost again. I lost my common sense.
