Shadow Black Jan 2014
Here comes that song again
It plays on the radio whenever I'm home
Anger wells up in my heart as I listen
It was once so precious to me
What happened to you?
Turned into a ****
Someone I no longer know
I knew you only four months ago
That was a lifetime ago
We used to have so much fun
The swings
We played on from ages five to seventeen
The bars
Taught you to do them at age seven
More recent memories are flooding my mind
They lyrics flow through my head
It's like a stream
That's boiling in my heart
Boiling with my anger at you
The best friend that I used to have

Trying to read what I'm thinking again?
I know that you can't
I'm unpredictable
No one can read me
It's impossible
They are my thoughts
Mine alone
Don't try to read me
I can't hardly read myself

You're gone
I was the one who left though
I'm so far away from you
Why does it have to be this way?
You're so far
So out of reach
My heart seems to have left me long ago
When I left, I left my heart, too
I miss you
And I have the feeling...
You miss me, too
You're on my mind so often
I wish I knew if I was on yours
I look at the twinkling stars tonight
I can't help but shed a tear
Your so far away
I reach for you
But my arms are more empty than before
I want you here
Or maybe me there
I don't care
I want to see you
Because we're so far away from each other
Shadow Black Dec 2013
I sit here at my desk
Attempting to compose a poem
So many subjects are going through my mind
The music is my ears
I hear the bass and drums
Friends in my life
I smile at the memories
Math in school
Proofs, postulates, and theorems
The skeleton trees blowing in the wind
Their branches are empty, for it is winter
Voices around me
Both high and deep, soothing and rough
Chills in my body
They go up and down my spine
Gum in my mouth
Sweet mint from Orbit freshens my breath
And I'm thinking of someone in my life
Who is special to me
I smile at the memories
And reminisce on the good times
Is this not a random poem?
I think it is

They sky was black
Except for the twinkling stars
Like cities on a hill
Is that why God made light?
I turn my head
And look at the globe-like shape in the sky
It's an orange-red color tonight
My imagination starts to run free
The moon is ablaze
The fire licks the top of the moon
Is it a prophesy?
I blink my eyes and it's gone
I sigh and go inside
Crawl into my bed
And dream of the fiery moon
Shadow Black Dec 2013
I'm crying for you
Big fat tears running down my cheeks
I'm screaming for you
I feel my voice cracking
Yelling your name at the top of my lungs
I'm losing my voice
My brain is tired of your name
I'm losing my mind
My heart is barely alive
But still beating for you
Finally, my voice dies
I have no more air
I no longer have a voice
My pain, so immense I cannot feel it
I lay down and stare at the sky
They color, I'm unable to identify
A mixture of light blue, navy blue, and grey
Not a single cloud in the sky
I close my eyes and everything goes dark
Shadow Black Dec 2013
Life could never be more pleasant than it is now
My soul has been set free
My hair blows in the wind
I close my eyes
I can feel the tension receding
I've never felt so free
My always-tense body is not that way now
My muscles relax as I fall
"I could sing of Your love forever,"
I sing as loud as I can
My melodic voice rings out over the cliffs
My eyes are still closed as I fall
Faster and faster
I take a deep breath and open my eyes to view the sky
Deep, dark clouds loom ahead
But I don't care
I have been set free from my prison
Being behind those titanium bars almost made me mad, insane
But I have been set free
I will no longer go insane
For I have been set free
