Breaking
There we stood firmly hand in hand forever
until we realized our embrace was strangulation
hand in bloody hand we kept on falling together
never giving up as we decayed to separation
.
for I was the stonewall and you were the wind
beating me slowly but ever surely down to dust
though we had fought hard to be together again
we fought harder to watch our stainless hearts rust
.
so I’m sure you remember; I just can’t forget
the way our life once used to be
now we never talk and I’ve come to fret
when you curse out a name it’s me
Lost
rain beat down and this heart poured forth
the darkest of woes that haunted my head
trickling trepidation ’till I lost my North
giving into the vices that I’ve come to dread
.
all alone I came to love the cold and the silence
I wanted the blackest sky to match my soul
it grew into a monster of self-loathing and violence
a beast from the depths I just couldn’t control
.
so I betrayed my brain and my body
splitting and splicing every cell for it’s worth
with lines of scars painted on skin so shoddy
you could almost make out every tear, every word
Love
I’ve come to realize that all wounds must bleed
for better or for worse there are days to cry all night
I now understand there is nothing that I need
more than a beautiful soul to make these wrongs right
.
so I found a flame like nothing here on Earth
a star amongst the void of time and space itself
the brightest in the sky for which I have searched
a gorgeous golden heart of unimaginable wealth
.
and I see the universe deep in her eyes
the same ones I dream of before I fall to slumber
the ones that give me endless butterflies
thinking of her beauty as I wish and I wonder
