Alright

she used to love the winter because of its beauty 
it burns through her memories now like ice set on fire
 she wakes up shaking every night begging a God she may or may not believe in 
to take her into that beautiful white place He had shown her
when her soul broke over a new horizon one cold night on a set of train tracks 
the girl couldn't smile 
everything had been ripped away from her
she was sarcastic but caring
stubborn and opinionated
cold, but had the warmest heart of anyone
she has the word "dead" carved into her skin
a memory and scar that she can never remove
and there was this boy 
he made her feel everything all at once 
he took her heart in his hands and shaped it
he made her smile
laughed at her sarcasm
brought her back to life.

Oblivion

the music fills the room 
with the sounds of
sadness 
and prosperity
like it is its last chance to play
to strain for a melody
before it reaches a breaking point
and dies out
until it is granted permission
to play one last tune
much simpler
than this

and the voices fill the void
with the sounds of 
serenity
and desperation 
in an attempt to be heard 
but overcome by
gusts of wind 
and flurries of snow
before they fade out
because they can no longer be
heard

and the words sound from the pages
full of 
significance 
and life
pleading to be heard
but overcome by
the tearing of pages 
ripping over
and over 
until there are no more pages
to be torn 

and the music
and the voices 
and the words
have gone

down 

down

down

into a hole of oblivion 
until there is 

nowhere

               nowhere
     
                                nowhere
left for them to go.

There Are Lights

there are lights through the darkness
they dance above me 
they move through the wind 
they tell me they love me

some stay strong and some fall
they glisten and they die
they accept my tears 
sometimes they cry

the lights glow through the void
and then they start to fade 
this moment will never leave me
through these words they'll be portrayed 

so much hope they bestow 
so much love do they hold
this is certainly the meaning of us
that we may carry this life through our souls

they write our future 
they sing the memories of the past
they show the ones we once had 
this is the view i hope to be my last
