Now I see you,
Your true form unveiled.
A part of me,
Corrupted.
As old as I,
You were always there.
A growing sensation in me,
Awakened by my growing body.
You gave me no love,
Only lust and longing.
This I know now,
Before I was blind.
I've got you in my clutches now,
And though you struggle,
Clawing at me,
I know I can't let go.
It's for the best.
This pain is temporary,
Less than you've inflicted before,
I was just under your spell.
Soon this will pass,
And we may rest.
On the other side of suffering,
We will heal again, changed.
Pain is temporary likewise gain's worth too,
Though savings might be of relief from blue,
Yet its will is of grace rank;
Using a different self bank-
One which disciplined assessment ensue.
To the fire in the storm,
thank you.
Thank you for fueling me with rage
that has led to such feverish words;
Thank you for the reminder that
a downpour of pain is temporary.
So paint! So write!
Thank you for burning my skin
and leaving a scar,
dousing every phrase I pen with passion;
So paint! So write!
Thank you for the incurable
scripturient need that would not,
could not be denied.
Thank you for the coals to scrape
poetry across and igniting my insides;
Forcing them to explode into wild;
So paint! So write!
To the fire in the storm,
thank you.
Made in
His image
When we do not obey
We perish
The Death of Deaths
Intangible, but
Most things of that Magnitude are
Drawn to the Light
The Eternal Source
Brings you hand in hand with
Pain
Struggle
And, as a byproduct, depth and growth
But, Alas
Pain is temporary, whilst Victory is
Sempiternal
Non-Temporal
Unimaginable
In a flux with The Flux of Flux
Being
Do not cry for losing
At least you can laugh
When you are winning
We cry very often
when it comes to death.
There is one last breath
you will miss your dream.
There will be some regret,
without me living without you
The Pain is temporary.
There will be someone new
To make you happy
A moment of joy to endure
one day we all must meet
when life ends, death is sure
before we find immortality.
Precious and pure.
I'm sitting by the fridge and my shirt is soaked in tears my back is cold and my cheeks are red and I'm choking back a "please come help" because i know no one really cares because when you're a screw up life is fair and karma moves away your chair and pain is temporary but so is a century and crying just gets divided into decades of war and love-torn memories of a childhood home retold to someone who you don't even know and "sorry" grows old like bread turns to mold until you get poisoned.
Moments in time so precious so dear
They shape us and make us through times of laughter and cheer
You held my hand, you shielded my heart, you made me feel safe even when miles apart
We walked for miles, but we'd have walked more
To escape the grief, to escape turmoil
Forever connected, you're mine, I'm yours
We waded waters we rebuilt walls
A bond so strong, like the tree that stands proud and tall
Moments of laughter, moments of tears
We held each other tighter through times of fear
Eventually the day will come when we must part
But these moments in time, I carry in heart
Just remember that the pain is temporary, the sadness won't last
We'll meet again, and so reminisce our past
I am an addict with a pen
I have a trouble in the past
Past relationships
Past brokenness
Brokenness inspires me
Brokenness motivates
Motivates my writing
Motivates my actions
Actions speak louder than words
Actions are most important
Important thoughts
Important words
Words are only spoken from a human mouth
Words are only letters on a piece of paper
Paper to journal my thoughts
Paper to talk through my emotions
Emotions are what stop my words from flowing
Emotions come in waves
Waves of riots
Waves of depression
Depression aches in my heart
Depression can be constant
Constant heartbreak
Constant pain
Pain is temporary
Pain will go away
Away from you
Away from your thoughts
Thoughts can kill
Thoughts can heal
Heal you from your brokenness
Heal you from your addiction
When your world darkens
When your will gets shattered
When your fire becomes weak
when your strings get cut
When your heart gets broken
When your about to give in
Think of why you have come this far
Think of why your fire is still burning
Let it fuel you, let it ignite your soul
No matter what the world throws at you
No matter how bad you hurt, and want to give up
You must never give in and submit
Get up and take back control
Push yourself to the limits, never falter, never surrender
Pick up the pieces, get new strings, ignite yourself
Make the darkness fear your will of fire, for you pain is temporary
The darkness will burn, it will weaken
Your will of fire will guide you and others out of the dark and into a new dawn
Moments i take daily just to imagine life with you by my side
I could've taken you to the stars above but you wasn't looking for a ride
Now as i hesitate to inhale another breath i realize what's really going on
Life is irrelevant without you, no one can take your place,I'd rather be alone
It gives me more time to reflect on you every single day
My heart will always have a piece torn so painfully away
I struggle to make it,only standing because i know the sun still shines
But when I deeply grasp my thoughts I still yearn for you to be mine
I am who I am and change will come eventually
Only my love for you will remain sincerely
I'm lost in thoughts of the days when I made u smile
Pain is temporary but heartache stays for a while
It's almost like an obsession or even infatuation that motivates me to speak out
As i look in the mirror all i see is sadness,and as long as u are away, joy, i will be
without
