17/M/My house I enjoy writing about love, occasionally other topics
When you find someone to care for You give them all they want and more When you meet someone and you’re alone You turn them into your new home You patch up their walls, Mending the cracks in the halls. You do the best you can afford, Hoping for a home as your reward. And there you are, happy with your home You feel safe with a castle to roam But then a subtle change, a shift And suddenly your someone begins to drift Now here you are, far from those days You tried, but couldn’t make them stay Now here you are, once more alone Looking for houses, missing your home.

Houses
Just listen to the frantic wallows Through hallowed halls of heads all hollowed Where lawyers deal, And villains cheer, As judges send with no appeal If you slink over objections Dash through quick dished decrees And glaze over a crumbling constitution In this sacred house you’ll find, beyond a shadow of a doubt, reason to protest, to scream, to shout

House of law
Why live at all if you will one day die? Why try at all if everything must end? Why don’t you ever curl up low and cry? Why fix what even you can’t truly mend? Why fight through battles in a losing war? Why struggle on when there’s no true encore? Why force yourself against what has to be? Why love at all with no clear future seen? Why worry for tomorrow when we’re here? Why not make all our fleeting moments full? Why fear the path when we can walk with cheer? Why can’t we see our cups are still half full? Why sink at all when you were made to rise? Everything has beauty because we die

Why
I can’t remember the colours in her eyes, But I know how it hurt seeing her cry. I can’t remember how she would sound, But her voice was the best around. I can’t recall how the words were strung, But I know it was like honey when she sung. I can’t recall how our love started, But oh my heart ached when we parted. I cant remember the feel of her hands, The memories sift through like sand. If only I could hold them tighter If only I could fight harder

Stories
How you see is not how I see What you discard, I hold dear What weighs on you like stones I would treasure if it were near How I live is not how you live Where I recoil, you lean in What feels like burden to me you call a chance to begin How you experience is not how I experience Where you see a cap, I see a crown Where you see another day I see the one that turns me around How you are is not how I am Your steps follow paths I’ll never know yet side by side, we walk this life two strangers learning as we go

Experience
I am icarus, and you the sun. I yearn for you, while you beg me to run. Your touch burns, and I know I shall soon fall You tell me it’s silly, and to heed father’s call I am Orpheus, and you Eurydice Once more, my downfall is the feelings in me I longed to see, to feel, to embrace But you faded the moment I turned my face I am Pyramus, and you Thisbe. Doomed to love, a mere wall in our way. Taught to hate, thick blood turning green Now apart, deep gashes agleam You are Daphne, and I Apollo From West to East, you’re all I follow But now you’ve left, my love has no target Now you’ve left, and I rue the day we met

Too close
Alone in a room filled with people Deaf as voices blare like sirens Blind to the colours attacking your eyes Numb. Taught to trust a dying system Accepting subpar Forced to swallow questions Gullible. A pawn in their world A bee working mindlessly A money making machine Expendable. Never truly stuck Always able to break free Free to block the world out Pure potential. Wasting what so few have Clay looking for the right mould Able to choose what you are Free to choose.

You are...
You were hurt by those mutts. We are all of silk, but not the same cuts. You didn’t deserve what they did to you You’re feeling what none should go through. Many believe they deserve you. Others taught it’s right to do. Some think you wanted it. Monsters do it for the thrill they get. They are a separate breed. A species driven by lustful greed They steal innocence from the joyful They sink society. Every theft, a hard pull I was once a bright, young, unsullied gem Then I became one of them I have seen their dark abyss. A whirlpool spurting evil, like ticking a list I’m sorry for the demons that ravish our world. I’m sorry that you are almost always the target. I’m sorry that you couldn’t be saved in time. I’m sorry that I am one of them.

I’m sorry
She left and I was free Free as a bird Free as a wild herd Free She left and I was happy Happy to chase better things Happy to stretch my wings Happy She left and I was alone. Alone to do what I please. Alone to hear the silence at home. Alone. She left and I am free. Free as a bird in a cage. Free as a man living wage to wage. Free.

Suffocating in the steam of the shower Suffocating as minutes imitate hours Suffocating as I use all my power To try rekindle what once was ours Inhaling the embers of our love Inhaling what once was enough Inhaling the end of what had begun Just to realise nothing can be done Breathing an unwanted gulp of air Breathing as my pain is left bare Breathing your imagined scent Leaving me full of discontent Realising my heart is no longer yours Realising our love is a closed door Realising how empty I am Realising how love is a scam.
