Though my hands falter, and memory fades, though silence mocks what time once praised— still I press on, a nameless mason, laying truths I carved from shame.
I raise no banner, claim no throne, but whisper into winds unknown: “If not for glory, then for grace, that one may rise from this same place.”
Let ashes speak where tongues fall still, and let these stones outlast my will. For in the dusk of spent desire, a single spark can birth a fire.
So let these hands, though bruised and worn, etch quiet hope in break of morn. Not for acclaim, nor out of pride, but so one day, someone might find—
among the ashes, amid the dust, a trace of love, a seed of trust. That though I faltered, I still gave, and from these ruins, left something brave.

I shared with them
My fears
And they used them against me
They spat
on my face
Because I'm different
They don't see
That I am losing this
War that has been waging
In my soul for years...
So I
Now I
Will be alone.
Like a dying beast
Forever burdened
After its use
Has been abused
Like a worn-out tool
Remembering
Its usefulness to the world
So I
Now I
Will tread this alone.

Please understand
that I'll do what I can
to move away from you, and...
to forget you while I can
so please, understand

God, your eyes
Slivering, tempting, unrefined
Luring my senses behind.
God, your eyes.

I've prayed for you
a million times
before I laid
my eyes unto yours
I've dreamt of this
for a thousand summers
before your sunshine
shone deep unto my abyss

Thank you for saving this poor old soul
tired and trembling on my knees
dazed and puked from spinning around
trapped in a cycle was me
In an untimely manner in this unlikely world
you came and brought life and glee
now we spend each day with promises held
there's now hope in thine eyes I see
Thank you for saving this poor old soul
thank you for saving me

The soup was cold
The veggies were bland
The meat, mediocre
The dessert was placed
in a paper cup.
But my heart is full
Because I am spending this special day with you.
I love you

I realize
that I don't want to memorize
someone else's favorite color
I'm done with remembering her name
or her favorite artist...
I can no longer take
remembering her quirks
Or her slight wrinkle
around her eyes every time she smiles
to whisper her name
beneath my breath as I sleep
to listen to her heart beat
and pace my breathing to hers
to walk the same path with her
while I burn each step in my mind
this I realize

Building walls
to keep the predators out
brick by brick
each layer sorted out
A fortress for my castle
sturdy without a doubt
to withstand the awful shadows
to contain the silence after every shout
Building these walls
to keep the predators apart.
But how do I protect myself
from the enemies living inside my heart?

Sleep well tonight
dream big, fearless dreams
For tomorrow will shine bright
filled with your hopeful gleams
Be comforted with care
We, your loved ones will give
never holding back, never in despair
a life in full, you shall truly live
For in every waking moment you will see
In spite of every rainbow, or every storm
A covering of love setting you free
guiding you in every form
So I say "Hush little ones...
as we lull you to sleep
for together we've finally won
and this triumph we shall silently keep"
