In a Kingdom by the Sea,
you kept me cold
in the closet of your mind
.
We were children who
made promises of love,
but for all my lovelorn words,
it never came close to others
.
You theorized our demise by an
unseen hand,
and a voice that whispered
death inside your head
.
And this was the reason
that in our kingdom
you wrenched my grip
from your wrist and let the
wind take me
.
The voices left you
complacent in your
decision to rid me from
our kingdom, blaming
others for the love that
was never given
.
I do wonder from time to
time if I ever cross your
mind and if you’re waiting in
Our Kingdom by the Sea

have you ever felt so
alone
not a single
touch
could warm
your bones
and each
ragged breath
unveils your
chest
and the frantic
mess of a
heart that lies
beneath

i've never found another's
mask of pain to be
attractive
what's the beauty
worth if it's a charade of
hurt and why do people insist i
play their mummer's game
don't inquire why my frown will
not turn upside down
do you really want me to
force an emotion so pure i
fall to my knees just
thinking of it
so go on and hold me
down; cut me ear to ear
make me join the
hollow rest of you
if you want to see me
smile, better call me

i think i made you up in my sleep
the way you weave in and out so inconsistently
of my life with your broken promises
you left me
alone;
a single word that can drive a man to madness
alone:
what drove me to madness
yet, one day i didn't feel--
alone
i restitched the seams in my wrists
i rewound my brain
and i rewired my heart
some days i can almost feel
and your memories bring bliss
i'm no longer
alone
yet i haven't overcome the
loneliness

i spent freshman year in bed
stayed up every night
with a crown of thorns on my head
burdens i balanced on my bony shoulders
eating away at the sempiternal hope
i had held for myself
every breath was marred
by a nail to the side
and i waited quietly
for my body to die

my heart was left
in washington
in a small town
by the sea
with your hand
in my pocket
in our hair,
the breeze
the fire dances
in your eyes
and i'll lean in to
kiss thin air
i can't feel my hands
in your hair
and i'm gripping
the sheets like they'll
keep you there
and i'm left with this
sempiternal ache
for an unanswered
plea

not a single force on earth could
famish the flame that
grew from a single kiss and i
feel so empty without your
hooked wings surrounding and the
heat of your lips on my
jugular vein

i fell in love with a boy who'd never grow up
even when
his chin grew whiskers
that tickled my face as he kissed me
even when
his hands calloused and weathered
as he strummed songs about change and caressed me
even when
he held me in his arms
and shook with ecstasy
he wouldn't grow up
and he's never grown up

i dreamed
You kissed me
square
in the face
You turned into
a beast
shredding me
open
exposing
the pieces
i had tried
to keep hidden
i cried
‘oh God, why
won’t you save me?’
He laughed,
left me
burned,
ashamed
and You watched
with blind
eyes

In the ebony swirled night, the stars
are alight.
But, you, my dear, are a-glowing
.
Heaven’s angels guard the pearl
white gate, seraph blades showing
.
Hellfire has never burned brighter
but our souls have never been lighter
.
Phantoms waltzing into the light.
But, you my dear aren’t going
.
The trail of your tresses adrift in the
wind.
Keep me afloat, for I am grinning, our
hearts are sinning
.
I will follow you into the dark.
