More fool me For hoping you would change, You promised me the world Yet everything’s the same. I’ve told you that I’m broken And I can barely cope, You said you’d make more effort Filling me with hope. Actions speak louder Than your words can ever say, I’ve already waited forever So I won’t wait another day. I’m not sorry that we’re over I’m sorry that...

The silence between the words
I love the silence between words, because when I’m talking to her, every time she stutters, my heartbeat waits for her words to make me alive again. Every time she looks at me, I think that maybe she’s the one. Every time I confess my love for her, her silence between the words makes me feel important. Was she...

Why Dad?
Why Dad? Why did you have to go Why did you leave me Why did you pretend something never happened Why did you put me in this situation Why did you yell at me Why did you tell me you still loved my mom Why did you leave me with trauma Why did you lie to me Why did you overdose...

It never ends, does it
It's amazing, they were right! It all gets easier in the end The pain of grief and loss subsides And the sun can shine again The moments are much happier And it all just melts away When not that very long ago I couldn't make it through the day The little things become so big When your world is all askew, Quiet, fleeting, the passing...

Part I The wolf had been knocking at the door Longer than I had realized A young man saw an old man in the mirror It's taken all in stride It's so cold, where did I go? I hadn't noticed the rust on the jailcell bars Until I looked at all the scars I wish I could laugh Because of a whole heart, I...

A heart without tomorrow
My love garden remains unweeded, Each planted flower slowly wilting. A shadow spreads across my sunlight, And a storm lingers without rainfall. Sad teardrops fall from my broken heart, No blood shed, yet my worlds fall apart. Agony, sorrow, deep dejection— Reflections in my shattered mirror. My tear burns hot enough to bake bread, Depression drapes a cloak on my head. Love tortures like a...

Another life
Would you act like we never met, would you make it seem like I was the easiest person to forget, I want the truth, I want you, would you walk past me like our eyes never locked on all those rainy nights, would you walk past me with the thought of “in another life.” Am...

Leaves
The bicycled leaves pedal across the lawn chain-linking me to a past fallen autumn. When we Could no longer be false, exposing our true feelings. We withered from the cold. Trying to rake in "Why's" but sometimes love leaves, unspoken. ...

You can never grasp, understand bees keep stinging venom that I bring like constant ringing of your front door bell all these of forgotten echoing of the years what's of a sin I'm selling that light so brightens like new born flashes no tail sweet light stops smiling I'm a familiarity about to die, hornet's pain to bring timeless of photos and those grainy flashes of memories I don't wish to see, lapses bounces on...

To Die is to Live
To Die is To Live To die is to live in a life more complete Where sorrow and joy in eternity meet It's not just the, but a sacred release, A journey to stillness, a moment of peace. To die is to rise from the weight of the clay, To step out of time and be swept far away. The chains of...

Rust
I am a ruined house With a rusty fence, So many phantoms reside resting recklessly, A clock on the mantelpiece that won't work. It's stuck staring at me, Tick………, The wallpaper is crumbling and fading away like my miserable memories. It doesn't seem real even though it is. Dreamy, dreary , dread , dead. But the fire is...
