30/M/American Not much to say, I usually write as a way to cope with negative emotions so i dont write often but i'm working on different styles. I hope you enjoy and please leave feedback!
On wax wings I fly Desperate to reach her My sun I know I will be burnt That she will destroy my wings In my hopeless pursuit What am I but a mortal man Who dared to love her Who walks among stars Yet still I fly Still I reach For her, always for her Though my wings melt Branding my skin as I fall from the heavens Scorched and smoldering as I plummet With a smile I sigh my final breath Because for just a moment I felt her

Icarus
I don't know what I'm doing here I don't know where I am The only thing I remember is your face Smiling sadly at me from above As I go to speak your name My breath catches as I cannot remember Though I feel it right on the tip of my tongue I know you like I know I need to breathe But I have no memory of you Who are you Why do I know you Why, can I not remember you Why does looking in your eyes, bring tears to mine My heart yearns for a touch that I cannot remember ever feeling It wells up in my chest like I'm holding in a scream As if I am trying to cry out your name in desperation But I do not know it You are the most familiar mystery to me My favorite book I have never read I know you but I cannot tell you how The worst of all is the tears on your face tell a story about us that I have never heard

Who?
You are a stranger We have not even really met But you have become a part of me That I cannot live without The further you are The slower my heart beats The longer I go without hearing your voice The more deaf I become You are that first breath of air To a drowning man The last little light Keeping darkness at bay Absence makes the heart grow fonder But instead it has torn mine in two How have you become so important When I haven't even met you You are a stranger We have not even really met Still I need you like a flower does rain Yet I know that all I feel With a wasted breath, be spoken in vain

A Stranger
Dumb messages Full of silly words Laced with promises Never to be kept An emptiness left That only you could fill Shattered a broken heart That just started to heal Dumb messages Filled with hope Silly Words The promises we broke It may hurt in the moment But the future self knows These bittersweet moments Makes the heart grow cold Dumb messages Silly words Promises made Promises broke

Silly Words
You swept through my life like a summer storm gone as fast as you came and left a trail of destruction in your wake Ruined songs a broken heart and bitter dreams of sweet melancholy Pulled in by the first kiss and blown away by the last I was swept away by your torrential love

Like a summer storm
The traces of your touch Still linger on my skin The shadows of your memory Still bombard my thoughts An infinite loop Of bittersweet nightmares Overwhelming But sickly satisfying The desire to fight Turns to plea’s of death Attempting to end it all By drifting into eternal slumber But I always wake From my desolate dreams To a living terror That day by day Rips me apart I need you here Im going insane So I hold on To my agonizing hope, My most precious pain

In the end
reality who's to say that what you call reality is even real at all maybe the fantasy I have created is the truth but you insist on trying to blind me with lies What if i'm right and good defeats evil truth conquers lies and light shines through the darkness What if i'm right that true love exists and theres someone for us all waiting for us to open our eyes and look what if i'm right and I can go throughout life like I live in a book

Fantasy
My temptation, My alluring forbidden fruit A succulent and sweet taste Lies within those soft lips But still, i must distance myself With you just beyond my grasp My temptation, My alluring, forbidden fruit   With fair skin, as soft and white As a winters first snow. Captivating me with your touch My temptation, My alluring, forbidden fruit No matter how hard I fight it From the very first taste, That first stolen kiss I became addicted. To you, My sweet forbidden fruit

forbidden fruit
cold and heavy chains bind back my heart locked in a cold damp cage and you threw away the key I cant move on stuck in this cage with a lock that cant be broke and chains that wont rust away forever waiting for your thoughts of me hoping you will remember to return and set me free

Chained
Who am I? I have a name, but it isn't mine it belongs to who i was not who I am Names are for those that are their own person who have hopes, dreams, and visions for the future not for the brainwashed drones of society only living day by day without any dreams for themselves just merely existing, waiting waiting for the next order Who am I? I am just another drone another nameless pawn only known by a model number. The hollowed out corpse of who I used to be. The brain that housed my ideas and visions of the future, taken out and replaced with a chip. The heart that held my hopes and dreams, torn out and replaced with a battery so when our chips short circuit or battery dies they can just throw us out like any other broken tool. Who am I? I'm just another drone.
