chris-landry - Hello Poetry

I want you to, Strum my feelings into a melody Paint my gaze with beauty Carry me , fulfil me Be the sum of all my envy Be all the things I will not And can never be Fill this pit of self pity Live this life for me Give me all you have Devote to me eternally I desire all that you are All you have ever been I will consume you empty Until you fade away into me Such is our greed

Found in the clutter Hidden And dusty Forgotten but familiar Words on paper An old picture A subtle reminder Happiness and laughter Sadness maybe anger A Lost pillar Replacing and filling A void gone unknown A crumb leading to a whole

Lost pieces

Found in the clutter Hidden And dusty Forgotten but familiar Words on paper An old picture A subtle reminder Happiness and laughter Sadness maybe anger A Lost pillar Replacing and filling A void gone unknown A crumb leading to a whole

Who am I I can't help but feel that I am leaving pieces behind. Moments and thoughts that are forever lost to me, yet weight heavy, they are the things that can never change. These moments are however the source of my changes the pressure that mould's my being. Here at the precipice of tomorrow I hold on to these moments before I let them go, forever I am here with nothing keep but the scars of my life. That is who I am

Like an autumn tree We wither our leaves falling without remorse Still we stand Ready to endure the sharp cold and somber nights To withstand and survive in hope the spring will once again renew Listen for our last song whilst the cold fall wind brushes by one final breath Let us be at our brightest even in the face of our demise Let us hold on until we make our final journey Let us fall to our final resting place with grace and humility Lost and buried Frozen discarded Decomposed but not forgotten For while we live we flourished

The Fall

Like an autumn tree We wither our leaves falling without remorse Still we stand Ready to endure the sharp cold and somber nights To withstand and survive in hope the spring will once again renew Listen for our last song whilst the cold fall wind brushes by one final breath Let us be at our brightest even in the face of our demise Let us hold on until we make our final journey Let us fall to our final resting place with grace and humility Lost and buried Frozen discarded Decomposed but not forgotten For while we live we flourished

Endless days of spinning nights Walking among the lost souls of our lives On this beaten surface nothing feels right Just want to pack my dreams and take flight Ascend into the storms and rain Climb away from fear and pain Pierce thru the shadows into the light The barrier between the good and the bad The abyss that separates the happy and the sad Floating on a floor of rolling clouds Where the sun always shines The nights are always lit by the stars Endless peace hiding all the scars Some days I just want to leave this ball Climb high above it all Miles up our problems are so small No divisions forget the walls But what goes up must someday fall Can no longer evade gravity Suddenly brought back to reality Falling thru to our truth Dim days and darker nights Living in the shadow of the heavens

Shadow Of Heaven

Endless days of spinning nights Walking among the lost souls of our lives On this beaten surface nothing feels right Just want to pack my dreams and take flight Ascend into the storms and rain Climb away from fear and pain Pierce thru the shadows into the light The barrier between the good and the bad The abyss that separates the happy and the sad Floating on a floor of rolling clouds Where the sun always shines The nights are always lit by the stars Endless peace hiding all the scars Some days I just want to leave this ball Climb high above it all Miles up our problems are so small No divisions forget the walls But what goes up must someday fall Can no longer evade gravity Suddenly brought back to reality Falling thru to our truth Dim days and darker nights Living in the shadow of the heavens

Killing like the animal I am Without flinching I take aim No need to support the weight of my finger As I turn around and walk away With a grin I wonder If he heard a noise before the light went out I can look into your eyes See all that you hide All you have left to do Is hope I have mercy for you A lost cause A notch on a handle Is what you have become A distant memory of what I have done No matter how it begun You will stare at the wrong end of my gun A man once asked me if I felt pain As my heart pumped ice thru my veins I looked him strait in the eyes And told him about the warm feeling inside When people like him die Tonight I cannot sleep For reasons hidden in the deep Questioning my existence, my essence Wondering why I’m so merciless Ever since I plunged my life into the dark I have live without my heart So many things I have seen fall apart In my demise I put my feelings away Something is different now I can’t seem to take you down In your eyes I see myself In your fear I feel at home In your pain you’re not alone I can’t bear do this again See another life come to its end I drop the gun and let you run Like a shiny ticket to hell My gun sat on the floor I wondered if I was ready to walk thru that door Was Satan’s puppet ready to go home? Now with closer I know they all went out in silence

Merciless

Killing like the animal I am Without flinching I take aim No need to support the weight of my finger As I turn around and walk away With a grin I wonder If he heard a noise before the light went out I can look into your eyes See all that you hide All you have left to do Is hope I have mercy for you A lost cause A notch on a handle Is what you have become A distant memory of what I have done No matter how it begun You will stare at the wrong end of my gun A man once asked me if I felt pain As my heart pumped ice thru my veins I looked him strait in the eyes And told him about the warm feeling inside When people like him die Tonight I cannot sleep For reasons hidden in the deep Questioning my existence, my essence Wondering why I’m so merciless Ever since I plunged my life into the dark I have live without my heart So many things I have seen fall apart In my demise I put my feelings away Something is different now I can’t seem to take you down In your eyes I see myself In your fear I feel at home In your pain you’re not alone I can’t bear do this again See another life come to its end I drop the gun and let you run Like a shiny ticket to hell My gun sat on the floor I wondered if I was ready to walk thru that door Was Satan’s puppet ready to go home? Now with closer I know they all went out in silence

You’ve pulled yourself away The distance between us Filling with emptiness everyday Into the shadows you fade Stretched to my breaking point I can’t follow you down I must let you go, my light is running out I wish you would’ve just turned around You meant so much to me To the darkness I have lost you Into emptiness I must let you go You hear no good and see no light You barely put up a fight I stuck it out for as long as I could Down this path, you knew I would I can’t believe the day has arrived I never thought I’d leave your side But in many ways you have left mine Slowly I saw you fade I don’t know why you turned this way I saw your light turn to gray In complete uncertainty, what should I say? I wish I wouldn’t of let you sink so low It’s to late now your one with your shadow So lonely as I walk back into the light So comforting when the day turns to night The shade is so soothing even in the cold I see this path starting to unfold I need you; I’m unable to fight this alone I turn and run into the emptiness, the dark you call home

Bound To Darkness

You’ve pulled yourself away The distance between us Filling with emptiness everyday Into the shadows you fade Stretched to my breaking point I can’t follow you down I must let you go, my light is running out I wish you would’ve just turned around You meant so much to me To the darkness I have lost you Into emptiness I must let you go You hear no good and see no light You barely put up a fight I stuck it out for as long as I could Down this path, you knew I would I can’t believe the day has arrived I never thought I’d leave your side But in many ways you have left mine Slowly I saw you fade I don’t know why you turned this way I saw your light turn to gray In complete uncertainty, what should I say? I wish I wouldn’t of let you sink so low It’s to late now your one with your shadow So lonely as I walk back into the light So comforting when the day turns to night The shade is so soothing even in the cold I see this path starting to unfold I need you; I’m unable to fight this alone I turn and run into the emptiness, the dark you call home

With a step and a tear I confront uncertainty and fear A second that felt like many years I here the whisper of goodbyes in my ears Long has this moment been coming But only now do I start questioning Seeing all the little things and wondering How can this be right? When everything is ending When all thru the night I’m kept awake by the feeling Like a king that lost everything Like a mother that lost a child I scream in vain to the sky With nothing but solitude on my side Suddenly left alone without an ally I want to break down and cry But instead I stand here and lie Holding it inside, can’t say goodbye Pretending that I am okay Fooling everyone but myself This truly is the longest day Constantly at the brink of tears Can’t say I didn’t know I’d feel this way So I keep running, till it all disappears Eventually I’ll have to stop running Eventually I’ll have to stop escaping Eventually I’ll have to give it time to fall on me Eventually the ground I stand on will fade to shadow Eventually the sky will fall to ashes The sea of past fire will drown in tears

Burning Tears

With a step and a tear I confront uncertainty and fear A second that felt like many years I here the whisper of goodbyes in my ears Long has this moment been coming But only now do I start questioning Seeing all the little things and wondering How can this be right? When everything is ending When all thru the night I’m kept awake by the feeling Like a king that lost everything Like a mother that lost a child I scream in vain to the sky With nothing but solitude on my side Suddenly left alone without an ally I want to break down and cry But instead I stand here and lie Holding it inside, can’t say goodbye Pretending that I am okay Fooling everyone but myself This truly is the longest day Constantly at the brink of tears Can’t say I didn’t know I’d feel this way So I keep running, till it all disappears Eventually I’ll have to stop running Eventually I’ll have to stop escaping Eventually I’ll have to give it time to fall on me Eventually the ground I stand on will fade to shadow Eventually the sky will fall to ashes The sea of past fire will drown in tears

The sun is getting low The shadows are starting to grow These times are passing so slow The ground cold and white with snow This cold is so lonely, where did it all go The sunny days when she would glow Those moonlit nights seem like a distant echo I miss the days the ocean would kiss the sand Frozen, it seems the love has been put on hold In its place a desert with nothing to share but the cold Lost and shivering I need to find something warm Wrap me in your blanket, bring back that feeling Make these moments, times worth saving Because I need you to start the healing I need a lover, a friend Someone to put this misery to end A reason to believe in tomorrow A way to fill this hollow A direction to follow Because today I walk these streets alone A single row of footsteps in the snow You must be hiding somewhere out of sight Just like in the dead of the cold night Somewhere I know the sun is shining bright Out there I know you’re the one to make things right Caught in the concrete of time I’m waiting for an angel’s light to shine Sitting here frozen like the ocean Reminiscing of the warm sand Remembering when an angel held my hand Those days are gone, fallen like the leaves I need a lover, a friend Someone to put this misery to end A reason to believe in tomorrow A way to fill this hollow A direction to follow Because today I walk these streets alone A single row of footsteps in the snow As the grass starts to show When rivers rediscover their flow A new hope found, watching it all grow Waiting for you to bring a new glow Appearing from the melting snow One day the sun will climb Stay in the sky for a long time On that day will you walk with me hand in hand Create a past with footsteps in the sand Till then I walk these streets alone A single row of footsteps in the snow

Footsteps In The Snow

The sun is getting low The shadows are starting to grow These times are passing so slow The ground cold and white with snow This cold is so lonely, where did it all go The sunny days when she would glow Those moonlit nights seem like a distant echo I miss the days the ocean would kiss the sand Frozen, it seems the love has been put on hold In its place a desert with nothing to share but the cold Lost and shivering I need to find something warm Wrap me in your blanket, bring back that feeling Make these moments, times worth saving Because I need you to start the healing I need a lover, a friend Someone to put this misery to end A reason to believe in tomorrow A way to fill this hollow A direction to follow Because today I walk these streets alone A single row of footsteps in the snow You must be hiding somewhere out of sight Just like in the dead of the cold night Somewhere I know the sun is shining bright Out there I know you’re the one to make things right Caught in the concrete of time I’m waiting for an angel’s light to shine Sitting here frozen like the ocean Reminiscing of the warm sand Remembering when an angel held my hand Those days are gone, fallen like the leaves I need a lover, a friend Someone to put this misery to end A reason to believe in tomorrow A way to fill this hollow A direction to follow Because today I walk these streets alone A single row of footsteps in the snow As the grass starts to show When rivers rediscover their flow A new hope found, watching it all grow Waiting for you to bring a new glow Appearing from the melting snow One day the sun will climb Stay in the sky for a long time On that day will you walk with me hand in hand Create a past with footsteps in the sand Till then I walk these streets alone A single row of footsteps in the snow

My head is hurting From all the wondering How can I go on After everything is gone One by one the links break The picture disappears So do the fears Overwhelmed I’m numb Thru life I will wonder Down the path of failure A foot before the other Going on with no care A destination with no one there But a voice says it isn’t fair Suppressing, can’t face the healing Running, cause it’s not worth staying Careless, nothing is worth saving Living cause its not my time for dying Feeling so empty Yet it’s so heavy But deep inside I hear the voice The voice that doesn’t give up The eyes that don’t recognize the man in the mirror The heart trying to beat thru the clutter A part wants to get better But I see no reason to try harder Unmotivated, why should I go further Nothing left from the past The future seems even dimmer Thru life I will wonder Down the path of failure A foot before the other Going on with no care A destination with no one there But a voice says it isn’t fair As it cries out its last whisper Just before it drowns within Something happens there’s a glimmer Just a spark to light the dark But it catches, it explodes In an instance I’m lost in the flames I wake to the sound of a voice The words are my own The whisper is now laughter The lost has been found The veil has been burnt to the ground Saved by that sound

The Voice Within

My head is hurting From all the wondering How can I go on After everything is gone One by one the links break The picture disappears So do the fears Overwhelmed I’m numb Thru life I will wonder Down the path of failure A foot before the other Going on with no care A destination with no one there But a voice says it isn’t fair Suppressing, can’t face the healing Running, cause it’s not worth staying Careless, nothing is worth saving Living cause its not my time for dying Feeling so empty Yet it’s so heavy But deep inside I hear the voice The voice that doesn’t give up The eyes that don’t recognize the man in the mirror The heart trying to beat thru the clutter A part wants to get better But I see no reason to try harder Unmotivated, why should I go further Nothing left from the past The future seems even dimmer Thru life I will wonder Down the path of failure A foot before the other Going on with no care A destination with no one there But a voice says it isn’t fair As it cries out its last whisper Just before it drowns within Something happens there’s a glimmer Just a spark to light the dark But it catches, it explodes In an instance I’m lost in the flames I wake to the sound of a voice The words are my own The whisper is now laughter The lost has been found The veil has been burnt to the ground Saved by that sound
