22/M/Worcester/Denver I write when I feel like it. Unfortunately, that usually means every six months
We will never understand each other's feelings There's not enough words to describe the feelings we feel Yet we show them through anger and mistakes A broken trust and the pain that goes with it The mistakes I can never correct The pain I continue to have every night I still feel nothing and I hate the lack of emotions I can have Can you have emotions towards the lack of emotions? I know you hated every time I couldn't answer for my mistakes The answers that handed no help and no closure I hated myself for the lack of help I gave For the mistakes I made almost sent me to the grave I still wonder if in five years there will be anyone left Any one I can say, "Yes, I will stay on this land for you." I will calm my steady hand Raise the glass and wonder how many floors I'm on What it truly takes to have a lack of emotions For something always pulls me back, but they are growing old Stress or disease will bring them down I wonder if I will still be here in five cold winters

Feelings
We're Just a Couple of People Left out to die Woke up and now we're ready to fly Got a cold sweat and a shower waiting It's been going on for a few days and it's fading No more steam no more mirror Shattered a couple years ago I'm no hero But I always wanted to die as one But now I realize even that would be no fun So now I'm left out here to die From a couple to one

We're Just a Couple of People
I'm Taken Aback From the sights we used to see I wonder if I never left that night Would you still be the old you The one who still loved and cared And would I still look past you And get up and leave Because I didn't care

I'm Taken Aback
Never knew rain could hurt as it fell Yet, I feel myself watching the dark clouds roll by Hoping to hear the thunder Feel the rumble and clash A might to make me jump A jump I was always to afraid to do Never knew that I can't survive alone Yet, I am here for however long is left Every night a struggle And every morning a chance I give up I've written a thousand poems And now I can only put this one out Never knew what it meant to never have enough words Never knew the life of it all Never knew I am here but for how long I am thinking until I stop I wished I saved every poem Never knew I'd forget every single one Now I know

Never Knew
I'm taking my time writing in the dark I can't see the light from here Nobody ever wonders what it's like I'm just taking a second to breath Just stop telling me where to go I'll figure it out before I'm dead I've never tried to write a metaphor This is just how words come out But now I can't think of what to say Whatever you think it may be there's not a second to delay Nothing ever comes out right Only shine bright with the stars and their delight I'm running late again I'm trying to keep up, but the strings might tear I'm going to make it to the other side Dragging and pulling I don't care It doesn't really matter to me now I'm still in the dark writing with a head heavy as lead

Writing in The Dark
You don't know anything about me I only write to stop from thinking I'm more worried about my life than I should be I don't sing enough when I don't like my voice But that doesn't matter when You don't know anything about me Yet you keep asking me about myself I couldn't even tell you anyway I wish I could see through it I've never once tried to dance to a beat I only walk in rhythm when I can hear it Wonder what it's like to care about it anyway But I couldn't care when You don't know anything about me Yet you keep asking me about myself I couldn't even tell you anyway I wish I could see through it Everyday I wake up blurry Could never tell a dream apart Now I'm just laying in bed Waiting for my alarm to go off I can still hear you asking me about myself I can't even stand to look at you Yet every morning I come back I really have to stop looking in the mirror

You don't know anything about me
I'm heartbroken Concrete split open I can't breath right now But I'll be alive tomorrow I woke up with sunshine in the morning Blinds wide open I crawled my way through the window Please hurry I can't make it to my bed There's only a few more feet left to go My legs won't work anymore But I'll be alive in the morning I'm still heartbroken Concrete's still split open But don't you worry 'bout me

Concrete Split Open
Always been that lonely flower But a flower always flying With my roots still in the ground Every attachment keeping me up Every petal catching wind I always thought I'd keep flying But every root lost Every petal picked I couldn't stay afloat For there was no reason for the wind anymore And thus I fell

I Never Thought Myself Suicidal
Listen to my silent room Never more was there another sound Beyond this window and beyond that door A world filled with too many sounds In my room I controlled the sound And It responded to me and only me As the sky turned Dark And only orange from a street light Filled my silent room I found myself on my darkened bed Watching light move silently The only sound is my bed As I move to better watch the orange light Again listen to my silent room For now even I don't control the sound

A Silent Room
I really need to just write Figure out what to in life Feels like I'm just swimming Waiting for the moon to come out See how the waves move throughout the night Rocking back and forth about to topple over Pushing and pulling water that tries to seep through Another wave going over trying to be another cover Still waiting to see the moon Every breath just another step closer Every wave trying to cut through Really just going to be another Swimming waiting for the moon Still yet to see the moon
