Castles in the sky
Overtake my vision for miles
They seem so close
Yet they climb still higher
Pieces fall off, come to the Earth
Bless us sweet castle, your bricks bring birth

Castles in the sky
Dark and non inviting
May bring young children nightmares
But over life are more enticing
Floating high above the wars
Inhaling sunshine through their doors

Castles in the sky
Filled with life and destruction
I open my heart to thee
My lungs fill with obstruction
Closest to me, this form of it
Soul- leaving body in a blue, endless pit

I picked up smoking

When I saw you packing

I thought if you saw me killing myself

You would stay longer

Because you always stuck around long enough

To make sure I was okay

But I’m not okay without you

You’re still gone

And I’m still smoking

I wish I was a God, so I could experiment in the heavens.

I’d lift up planets, and lay them down somewhere to rest, like the way I used to carry her to bed.

I’d kiss the sky with half as much passion as I used to kiss her, to send a million stars exploding into magnificent supernovas.

I’d brush away an asteroid belt the way I used to brush her hair, so that the light of my distant Sun gives me the warmth her eyes once did.

I’d see her very being, all the components used to create her, brought together in what I’m sure was a beautiful and awesome event.

I wish I was a God, so I could let my love for her out in a way that would create life and hope.

I bought a knife once
and you said it made me dangerous

I was only tired of getting pricked
by the thorns on roses I had found for you
winter Apr 2014
Roses are red
Violets are blue
God is dead
I wish I was too

That look in your eye preoccupies my mind
Do you even know how raw you are?

Staring at me behind that lightening
How has it come this far?

Your hips are glowing
My heart is moaning
Nothing about this is real.

you saw me
pointing at you
and talking to her

a thousand people around us
your eyes found mine
for the last time
winter Jan 2014
I got a haircut you would hate

My eyes framed now by only the dark circles under my eyes

This loss of sleep is worth it

I’m finding myself without you

And I am in love with the person I see
winter Jan 2014
Even as I saw the end coming
I stuck around to see it
Your colors changed as you faded away
And though you are gone from my horizon
You still manage to light up my sky

I got my step dad some drugs
When he was on them he said to me
He is jealous of those who commit suicide

To be so sure that whatever is after life
Is better than to continue living
Is to be braver than any man could be
winter Jan 2014
Words
Like you and I
Define each other

— The End —
