Yours, Mine, and Ours

You're gone, even though you're right here
Your touch, has lost its gentleness 
Your kisses, are now heavy and forced
Your eyes, once looked through me not at me

My feelings, like I did something wrong
My seeking, to find the answers to our problems
My hoping, that you still love me
My heart, torn by the not knowing

Our happiness, where has it gone
Our life, now a fading memory
Our dreams, a cursed nightmare of reality
Our love, shattering like a broken mirror.

Wildfire

I opened my heart to you
Knowing it was wrong
You came into my life, like a wildfire
Scorching every thought besides the ones of you
You imprinted a picture of you on the front page of my mind
Leaving me with a burning desire to be with you
My mind is a projector, projecting pictures of you
I can see your elegant smile
Your beautiful penetrating eyes
Your forever amazing beauty
I can't shut it off or stop it
I want to see you, hear you, feel you
But now the wildfire has smoldered out
The fire put out by the gushing waters of heartbreak
Knowing I can't be with you, a form of hell
I try to forget but I can't help going back
I can't sleep, can't think, can't move without you on my mind
I know I need to let you go
To know you're with someone else, a greater torture
Looking at pictures of you, rages the wildfire memories
All that remains now, burn scars, of a once pleasant wildfire
I need to move on from this now tormented wasteland
Living through the scars is the only way to see you
Then I'll carry the burden of reliving this broken down wildfire.

Down and Out

I keep fighting until I have nothing left
I get knocked down and get back up
But how much more of this can I take
Til I stop getting back up
And I'm down and out.

I try to lift everyone up
Making sure they are ok
But who's got my back
Who will lift me up
Before I'm down and out

I'm tired of everything and everyone
I'm tired of giving my all
If I'm gone would it matter
I can end all the suffering
By being down and out.

Fight Against Darkness

In the darkness
There lies a figure
Tall and slender
Gracious and calmly
With a hidden strength
With an assertive stance

My mind questioning
Should I run or confront
The chaotic thoughts running
My body stands still
Being frozen in time
Legs of solid concrete

The figure standing nigh
Watching with deepened eyes
Piercing through like a spear
Waiting in a pensive stance
With a stretched out hand
A gesture to follow

Fighting the feeling 
I should be scared
Numb to the sight
In a sense of ease
I take hesitant steps
Depleting fear within

The figure smiles
Turns and begins to walk
Having a hidden agenda
Drawing away from the light
Subtly descending in darkness
Unwavering and loyal

Slowly creeping towards the darkness
I feel an inward sense
Telling me to turn away
I glance back at the light
Being faded by darkness
My legs locked into place

Furious and unrelenting
The figure released a fierce scream
From calmly to agitation
Knowing he’d be empty handed
He stretched his hand to grasp
Failing, he continued to fall in darkness

Feeling a change in power
I began fleeting away
Turning against the darkness
Legs nimble and fast
Grasping at the light
Leaving with a new hope.
