i don't understand loss the way you do
for my loss is not the same
Death once had visited me
but i couldn't recall his name
was it Grimm
was it Jack, Hades, or Fate
no matter i left in shame
as i lay there still in dying escape
taking in all but blame

with blue lips fresh out of breath
bring me to life they tried
my gratitude, reportedly missing
fear was stuck in my eyes
today i write you these solemnly words
only to; whom it may concern
for death has showed me pity i think
only if i stay willing to learn

Empathetic in the world around me
Sympathetic in a dream that’s drowning
Hell still burns in the peak of mountains
But here my heavens with you

I might have said I was a king that’s crowning
There was a time when my earth was grounding
But on the ground is where I let you find me
See that is all but true


You in the mirror; your reflection, never clear
You with the fear; it’s a lesson, ever dear


It’s a movement not a mindset- in my life
It’s the chance I take alone- my dreams in flight
Take it moment after moment – night to night
You are never alone
(You are never alone)


I understand it when your soul is breaking
Put it together but your hands keep shaking
In all the chaos see your love forsaken
Grow with your mind and soul


The pen is writing but the words aren’t spoken
Emotions deep when your heart stays broken
Become the one that once was left wide open
Be what you’ve wanted to see


You in the mirror; your reflection, never clear
You with the fear; it’s a lesson, ever dear


It’s a movement not a mindset- in my life
It’s the chance I take alone- my dreams in flight
Take it moment after moment – night to night
You are never alone
(You are never alone)

I’ll Last
DominickDemming Sep 2020
A walk through hell but it never was ending
Tryna find my heaven but i keep on descending
I'm looking for the truth but I keep on forgetting
Man “what's the use” when the blame is serenity

Living with a mask
Faces just pass
Please; don't ask ~

But;
(I’ll last)
(I’ll last)


My mind was here but it's never been clearer
I'm seeing new light when i look in the mirror
Living with some hope no more living in fear; I know it’s hard but the message is clear

Just put it in the past
Got questions? Just ask
You can be first

Don't have to be last
But;
(I’ll last)
(I’ll last)


Think i'll be OK, if my heart will just let me
My mind stays running in a marathon steady
I'm only an assumption if you never have met me
So ****, take it slow let us create a memory

Empty out the glass
Taking off your mask
Hoping for the future
But, Understand the past

Yeah
(I’ll last)
(I’ll last)

Dream World
DominickDemming Sep 2020
If my dreams become reality;
Then my nights alone
Are nightmares
Hold a grudge because you’re mad at me
But understand poison;
Makes. It. Unfair.
Let it be if it’s meant to be
She gazed
My thoughts;  just stare
I’m a King stuck in a peasant tree
Taking flight only if I dare

Drowning
DominickDemming Sep 2020
Ask me a question
Don’t want an answer
Stuck in confusion
Can’t understand her

Tell me you love me
Act like you hate me
Is it all my fault
Think that im breaking

Down
Down
Down
Down
I think that im breaking

Down
Down
Down
Down

Think that im breaking down


Next day its all same
Pardon my language
******* I hate you
Stuck here in my cage


Bag is now empty
Drugs couldn’t save me
Yell in an outrage
Somebody save me

Im
Drown Drown Drown
Drowning

Somebody save me
Im
Drowning

Tell me your story
DominickDemming Sep 2020
Hey tell me your story
What’s your reason why you chose to fight
Don’t care if it’s gory
Say your dreams, and things that hold your light
We can cry in the morning
Long as you’re here so I can hold you tight
Hey tell me your story
Give me your life

What are you feeling
You make it hard for me to close my eyes
Just give me the reason
Feeling of wisdom pass in my line of sight
Make me think that I’m singing
weaving in and out all through the night
Tell me your story
Give me your life

— The End —
