Hold on Tight
ok okay Dec 2023
A smile enveloped in moonlight
Took the pain from my eyes
I took her hand and we let go of our minds
Dec 2023 · 207
Untitled
ok okay Dec 2023
Timeless
It seems
I get lost in my dreams
Dec 2023 · 174
Lost in the Moonlight
ok okay Dec 2023
In the darkest silence of the loneliest night
A smile enveloped in moonlight
Took the pain from my eyes
Dec 2023 · 177
It is All in Your Head
ok okay Dec 2023
The cycle continues
She said it is all in your head
This world is for leaving
I may paint my wrists red
Forever
Forever
It will not be the same
I live like a demon who can not remember his name
In time we will flourish
But not for today
When the flowers are rotten
We will all waste away
ok okay Dec 2023
Misery is an afterthought
A stain unnoticed and ignored
Beauty lies where terror stands
It falls again from our two hands
A lovely world where we reside
With every day and turning tide
The end will be where we confide
And admit that death has become our life

Shadows Deceive
ok okay Dec 2023
I feel it everyday
Looming over
It makes me behave
My shadow is resolute
With the ground I must stay

How I wish I could fly
Leaving this bored broken town
Into the forever fields of lush green
Above the cosey white cotton clouds

My shadow won't leave
It has deceived me this long
I wonder where it will go
On the day I have gone
Nov 2023 · 242
Nightmare
ok okay Nov 2023
Every dream is a nightmare when you must wake up
Nov 2023 · 50
Falling with the Rain
ok okay Nov 2023
I find it hard to talk about life sometimes
Instead, I watch as time rots by
Fleeting days
Turn to forever nights

A hollow madness permeates my room
Nothing will stay forever
I like to say
'Just look at how the seasons change'
But for now, I fall with the pouring rain
Every dream is a nightmare when you must wake up

The Crevices of His Fingers
ok okay Nov 2023
His heart had crumbled
And slipped through the crevices of his fingers
Now all he sees is darkness

The stars no longer speak to me
Nov 2023 · 169
Untitled
ok okay Nov 2023
Sleepless nights
Forever days
I stop to wonder
In my dismay
Will she come
And will she stay
So I can keep this pain away
Nov 2023 · 70
Silence that Lingers
ok okay Nov 2023
Silence that lingers
Sometimes it lasts for days
Without a word to be heard
And your mind rots away
The flowers may be listening
Hearing what we cannot
They grow where we decay
Where we chose to put our plot
Nothing truly leaves
Nothing truly stays
The seasons will repeat
But it will not be the same
Nov 2023 · 147
Inconsequential
ok okay Nov 2023
Inconsequential
Were the words he spoke
At least that is what she thought
Whilst the cold air whispered to her to go
Nov 2023 · 807
My Room
ok okay Nov 2023
I loathe it here
This room reeks of the past
Reduced to rubble
the walls have crumbled
Perfect for a hollow heart
Slumber feels shallow
Escaping will never last

These nights feel endless
Maybe time can heal my heart
Welcome to my room. It has decayed with my heart.

Why Don't I Smile?
ok okay Nov 2023
'Why don't you smile?'

Have you seen this world?
The attraction it beholds
Great blues and lush greens
The enchanting songs that emerge from the trees
Such tunes can put your mind at ease
And the radiant stars
That helps light up the streets
This world is beautiful
Beyond the finest words could explain

'Why don't I smile?'

I see the beauty in this world
How could we fit in a world as lovely as this
The only problems we fix in this world are our own
How could I smile?
Knowing that we take so much
How could I smile?
Knowing that the problem is us
I know we aren't all bad, but maybe we are.
Nov 2023 · 50
Lost in Time
ok okay Nov 2023
Hatred
How could I become

Dim the lights out
To make me feel numb

Tears mixed with madness
Are the only way out

Will escaping this nightmare
Bring the other dreams back

Time
Will you wait for me or will I succumb?
Nov 2023 · 471
Abyss
ok okay Nov 2023
I feel infinite
In this horrid abyss
May time stand still
As I cease to exist
Nov 2023 · 254
Brighter Days
ok okay Nov 2023
I have felt the cold of the moonlight
But it still keeps me from falling when it rains

I have seen brighter days
When the sun comes out to play
And your problems melt away
Maybe my smile will be back one day
But for now
It has decayed

For all I know I am lost in time
In an everchanging maze
But in some time I know
I will find the brighter days
Nov 2023 · 59
Shallow Tides
ok okay Nov 2023
Shallow tides
And lonely waves
An empty beach
Shone on by the gleaming white
May these nothing days
Lead to something night's?

In time will heal
The tides will change
For all I have learned
Is that nothing stays
Oct 2023 · 216
Untitled
ok okay Oct 2023
There's no one on the other line
Just an empty voice
Lost in space and time
Oct 2023 · 359
Talk to Me
ok okay Oct 2023
'Talk to me
Please'
Was that too much to ask
Now we are just memories from the past
Oct 2023 · 49
Sometimes We Fall
ok okay Oct 2023
When no one is there
It feels like there is nothing at all
Not a hand to hold
Nor a face to see
The emptiness is terrifying
Yet it is so close to me

In hard times we crumble
And fall to our knees
We must stand up
Or we will get lost
Like blue eyes in the sea

I fear the color is gone
Now I only see black
In the darkness
I loom
And pretend it ain't all that bad
But when I see the clock ticking
The memories all come back
Been a bit of a struggle with my relationship, it was once blooming. Now it feels like it's fading away like everything else. I hope I can bring back a spark to it and give it the growth it needs. Love and patience.

ok okay Oct 2023
She would rather be alone
Than be with me
Is this the loneliest a man can be?
Sep 2023 · 80
Lost Without Sound
ok okay Sep 2023
There is something terrifying
About the absence of sound
It can fill a room with nothing
And not a wanted voice to be found

It is said that silence can be loud
When the thoughts seep through
The cracks in your mind
I sometimes feel as if I have lost myself to hell

It is just too bad
That when silence bleeds
The only escape
Is to dream..
Aug 2023 · 566
Maybe a Nightmare
ok okay Aug 2023
Do you see the other side
When your dreams will not let you breathe?
Jul 2023 · 104
Blue as my dreams
ok okay Jul 2023
Tears can only tell so much
A smile can often deceive
Silence can hurt when there are no words to speak

Sometimes this world feels as blue as my dreams
Nowhere to go and nowhere to breathe
These days feel endless and my mind never leaves
Winter days feel empty and so do the trees
Everything has fallen and is dying to be seen

The seasons will change soon
I hope too will my dreams
This world will not feel blue forever
I can still picture the lush green
Blue cold winter lonely alone life

Shelter
ok okay Jul 2023
Under the shelter of a desolate sky
The few stars I see
Take the light from my eyes
Stars
I call to you
Take me from this cursed land
Take me to infinity
Jun 2023 · 1.3k
Shine
ok okay Jun 2023
Some days appear troubled
It may feel as if it always rains

I know you love the sunny days
It makes you feel warm inside
However
On the worst of days
I will always be by your side

Troubled days come and go
Same with weeks and months
It will get better
And peace will come
For that
I surely know

Winter too
Will not be forever
The cold will wane away

Some day
Maybe not too far away
The sun will shine again

Lonely Little Leaf
ok okay May 2023
Lonely little leaf
Flying alone in an autumn breeze 

Amber where it was once green
Its changed in ways that can't be seen

Will it be let to lay 
Or fly away

I hope it will be with the stars one day
But most likely it will just fade away

Just like everything else
We all decay
Fly away

CONSUME
ok okay May 2023
Under the shelter of the bewitching midnight sky
I lie in bed and wait
No colour is here
Only the light from the moon
It seeps through the blinds and the curtains in my room
Sleep waits for my guard to let down
Only problem is I never want to let anyone down
So, instead I let my thoughts consume
Who else let's there mind consume.
Feb 2023 · 95
Untitled
ok okay Feb 2023
Where did the colour go
The words on this paper just show black and white

All I see is outlines on this path that I walk
Without you
The colour has faded
It feels endless
Until it is no longer
The beauty of life
Is that nothing can stay
One day I will be breathing
And the next my body will decay
Feb 2023 · 89
Over the Ocean
ok okay Feb 2023
Over the ocean
Miles away
By the stiff jagged rocks
Where the wind never stays
Stands a beautiful woman
Who looks out by the sea
With bright gleaming eyes
I wonder what beauty she see's

Over the ocean
Miles away
I will be with you shortly
To share a wonderful day
Jan 2023 · 110
Untitled
ok okay Jan 2023
And when your brain starts to falter
Just sit by your altar
I like to alternate between something missing and
My heart seeps through
No blood is enough to do
What should I do
Im so confused
I hear words that were never used
I see thoughts that I wish I could not view
What is life
If life is always blue
Jan 2023 · 109
Untitled
ok okay Jan 2023
The only thing worse than silence
Is being utterly alone
Jan 2023 · 221
Perilous Gleam
ok okay Jan 2023
Those perilous gleaming eyes
Left me stranded staring back
As if I were soon to drift away
In a dream where we lay hand in hand
Dec 2022 · 328
Untitled
ok okay Dec 2022
The eerie grey clouds
Dominate the vast blue sea
This dullness has hindered my ability to see
But when I hear your words as you stand next to me
It makes this world not as bleak as I think it may be
Nov 2022 · 794
Untitled
ok okay Nov 2022
Sometimes I find it hard to speak
As if the words had left my mind
Lost in a gaze
While our eyes meet
All I want is to hold your hand
And kiss you on your cheek
Sometimes this world is cruel and mean
It makes it hard to dream
But when I see you from afar
I remember what life means
ok okay Nov 2022
Walking through these gates of hell
I wonder what my mind will tell
An endless encore of thoughts today
Only time will tell when they will go away
The music is endless if you aren't feeling sane
If my mind was a puddle
I would be washed out in the rain

I wonder tonight what the sandman will give
Maybe I'll dream of the beautiful sea
The waves breaking calmly on a white sandy beach
Or maybe I will have a nightmare with no escape to be seen
Having a bad day is one thing, but having a panic attack makes it so much worse.

I tried connecting words between lines
Line 2:mind will tell to line 4:time
And
Line 3:encore of thoughts to line 5:referring to music
And further on referring sandman as creating a dream of a beach.
Nov 2022 · 82
Untitled
ok okay Nov 2022
When I see you
Standing there
What can I do
But fall in love
Once again
How pleasant it is
To be falling for you
Oct 2022 · 100
History to Remind us
ok okay Oct 2022
The more I study history
The more I resent the future
But the more I respect the present
Oct 2022 · 101
Luminous
ok okay Oct 2022
Luminous she was
My glance met her eyes
An intensity so strong
I could not smile
Even if I tried
So still was the world
when your lips met my skin
It could be the end
Or just the beginning
But for now, let's just kiss
Oct 2022 · 83
Untitled
ok okay Oct 2022
If we had wings would we fly away?
Would we leave the bed where we once lay
Into the light, if it has not yet faded away
I am tired of this darkness
It keeps me inside
It holds me, hostage
As if I was not alive
Calm it may be
It won’t let me dream
Only showing me nightmares and horrors that I wish I would not see
Oct 2022 · 70
Untitled
ok okay Oct 2022
Hollow was his empty heart
Something missing
Where did it go
Nobody seems to know

Somber was her broken smile
She lay immersed in the coldness that she creates
A shadow in the darkness left alone
Left to fade
Into the abyss
What would it feel like to cease to exist?
thinkin bout the past
Oct 2022 · 63
Untitled
ok okay Oct 2022
Recently I've been failing to see the colour
Like an old movie something seemed to be missing
The lucsious greens no longer appeared
The vibrant pink petals left my vision
All I could see was the harshness of the grey winter skies
But as the seasons changed
So did my mind
I could see the colour once again
On a day like this
Everything makes sense
There is not one doubt in my mind
Happiness is bliss
Oct 2022 · 195
Time to Sleep
ok okay Oct 2022
Sometimes I do not want to sleep
Because then the dreams will come
Then maybe in those dreams, I could get lost
And never escape...

The shadows have long departed
Clouds obscure the night sky
There is not one star in sight
What a great night it is
To be daydreaming inside
I can only imagine what I could be
I could be beautiful
Or I could be nothing
These words may let me see
If only I could write me back to life
I could write forever
No distractions or illusions
I can finally be me
Oct 2022 · 119
Few and Far Between
ok okay Oct 2022
My eyes wandered onto a lonely highway
Only a few headlights remained
They dawdled like fireflies in a midnight sky
Moments like these are few and far between
But when these occur, I feel alive
I can dream
Sep 2022 · 89
Love
ok okay Sep 2022
I see you hurting
I can hear the worry when you talk
I can feel the coldness when your sad
I can see the pain when you sleep
The stress of waking up means rest will never come
Those black rings are so willing to consume
They circle your eyes
And hold on until you let go

I have trouble letting go too
But it will never stop the love I have for you
Without you, my mind would be a mess
Because of you, I worry less
A poem for my girlfriend
Sep 2022 · 304
Untitled
ok okay Sep 2022
It is hard to say this
But sometimes I am the happiest when I feel sad
For many people, such a contradiction would not make sense
For me, they can be one of the same
Because true happiness for me is always surrounded by anxiety
This anxiety hits me because I worry that my true happiness will go away

Sometimes I wish everything could go away
And I could disappear into oblivion
But then reality sets in
While I lie in my bed
Wondering
What is it like to live?
Aug 2022 · 214
Untitled
ok okay Aug 2022
Sacred lands
Long fields of green
The lure of this garden
Could only appear in a dream
Aug 2022 · 96
When the mind wanders
ok okay Aug 2022
The mind wanders
Towards the empty blue
Even in winter
Some flowers bloom
Soft pinks and oranges show not all life is lost
A few remaining cicadas buzz while tuis sing their songs
The grass is still green
Sometimes it rains for days
Leaving puddles to glisten when night becomes day
The sun beckons
Not yet too harsh
The mind wanders on this type of day
It is moments like these when the pain fades away
Jul 2022 · 209
Untitled
ok okay Jul 2022
This cold is so numbing
It makes the pain go away
My mind feels it endlessly
Makes me wonder what it all means
Everything feels empty without the touch of your lips
Is life worth living if I'm a walking abyss
It gets better
I tell myself
It will get better day by day
But sometimes I wonder
What If I make it all go away
