shyloh-hatfield
To Whom It May Concern, / / My name is Shyloh and I'm a 21 year old who has been through more than most people my age. At 15 I was addicted to heroin, I used till 21. Now on the road to recovery I remain abstinent from drugs. I've been writing since I was young, really young. I've always had a love for poetry as it helped me escape from reality. Today I use poetry to connect with other people in hopes that I might relate to others. Thank you for reading
We walked the sunset, beneath a silhouette of trees.
Unafraid of consequences,
we flew as moths fly,
aimless, blind and free.
Arrogant but kind.
Gentle.
Always so gentle.
We whispered delicate words of surrender
into the dimming sky.
Awaiting an answer,
a purpose to continue this life.
The darkness between you and I, contained by the dullness of sounds
as they passed us by in the subtle breeze.
The subtleties of fallen trees with hallow limbs,
And oh how time flows, every so slow, though it quickly conquers me.
You caught a glimpse of something,
I watched you fade away,
pale faced and without a trace, I decided to stay.
People say we don't know what we have until it's gone
They're wrong, I knew it all along.

Her hands, warm
Touched the chill of my neck
I fell into her storm, as my bodies shivers wept.
Persistence in her visions
No contingency plan
Realism is a prison
Used to deafen our clan
Deserved to be queen
Yet she settled as a servent
Serpents obey, her every word
Her every movement
He wouldn't sit still
Couldn't watch her life dwindle
The image in his mind, was of her,
in his temple
Prince of destiny, next to the
King of irony
Fighting freely, in the depths,
of distant harmony
Harmingly charming three, snakes emerged from ripples
That spread throughout the water pond
The spirits of the ritual
She raised a blade so elequently said, "show me your heart."
As I did, undisturbingly, she drove it through that body part
I bled out, as her voice started,
Whispering in my ear
Fading into darkness, as if it were a dream
I heard
"I will never be your queen.."
Now like a ghost, at most, no alibi
My feelings shine though, always without a try
I was the Prince, I was the King of miss distress
Until the end,
Now I am
Translucent.

You and I are few and far between
An ocean of concrete
Conceals a dearly departed dream
When horoscopes don't hold the most Clarity
The more I flow the more I
Clearly see
Our loves like water,
Our loves like water,
It is quick to shift
into a steady stream
I really want her,
I really want her,
"I hold so close, the things that still torture me."
You and I are doomed but I don't care
Compelled to be souls
Lost revelling in all their despair.
We try our best to stay so far apart
Now diagnosed with fractures of the heart.
I wish I knew something
I wish I could show you
A diagram of how our lives would go.
It's truly lost
Truly broken.
This much is true this much only I know.

Our time was wasted tragically
A master piece was maddening
I'm trapped in grief, love had the key
Supposed to be all scopes of free
Disposed of peace so most could see
I'm only drained of every dream
That had a spark of happening
I'm sadly clean of clarity
Realized she's just like Clorox bleach
She strips me of my colors..
I guess i missed the stutters, distress
discovered in her wonders, sundress
Then damaged by the barbed wire
Torn apart and set on fire
I liked love better in my innocence
Now disturbed by the curves of her body
The pull controls all of my words
Im embodied in sound..
Surround me,
my love.
Who knew we'd be together
Like stolen souls in purgatory
Fighting for forever
My lover she was clever.
Severed hearts to set them free
Once darkened by loves harmony
Imprisoned in a symphony and then set free.
Excluding me.

It's like the clouds were down beneath me
Heavy I'd breathe as the wind blew by
Mountains of snow, they're melting so easy
Hitting the ground like the tears that we cried.
And I don't know where I would go
When I can't see behind those trees
So please take me away always
Far away from that one place
Take me away.
She takes the light right out of our sun
Seen from a far off Galaxy
The missing piece to my constellation
Never could see the light in me
I've tried my best to start over friendly
I've tried my best to pass her by
When all of our love is all but ending
Infinite hole in this place I die
In this place I will die

Her lipstick venom with a blood stained tank top, I'm an upbeat victim on a vertical bed,
shackled and locked.
She's my sinister nurse she administers pain, like a clinical curse swiftly corrupting my veins,
one eyes forced open, one eyes sewn shut, one heart gets broken while the other one's left
covered in blood.
Asylum love fell for her shy little smile, tried to bait me in for her next human trial.
The sickness goes viral as I'm lured to the test room, my senses bloom
like I'm probably dead soon.
I barely could think, let alone could I contemplate, that my own fate was to be shatter by the first date.
Forgot where it went, all the love in her locket, guess we've been spent by the drugs in my pocket.
I looked to her eyes like she had something different, only to realize that my lenses were twisted

When I see your eyes
I know we'll be fine
Moving like the wind on a winter night
The moments hold so close
Dispositions end
Distant is the ghost of our lovers sin
Our fortunes come to fade
Where mystery begins
This is our last chance
To leave before we end
Darling before you go
Won't you let me die
Lying forever close
Make this an endless night

When all my thoughts left me
Alone and impaired
When all we could carry
Were lies so unfair
Stares turned to glances second chances removed
Heart beats diminished to unknown values
My love for you is torn, I am ****** and scarred
Why did we let this go so far
Why can't I rekindle you
Our lives like campfires
Burn bright but never stay
Our love disappeared on the darkest of days
Who's farther away
I'm guessing it's you
As I write these poems
I'm guessing it's you
As I lay awake
I'm guessing it's you
Who keeps walking away
As I continue loving you

What if all I could give you was a kiss and a poem
What if all I could give was a love
no one's known
Before I continue, close my eyes
and escape
Listen to the wind and the waves
as they break...
All we've got is this moment to consider our fate
Only love is aloud to devour and taint
Eyes like the lies you would whisper to me
In spite of the nights you surrendered your peace
Before we embarked, as I spoke of its sting
"My world, it is dark, you won't like what it brings"

Heart hurts a lot when its heavy,
buried in fear.
Touched by the burning bush extinguished by her tears,
Ashes of a low class that she passionately breathes,
She lies behind the last tree,
lost beneath the leaves.
She possibly believes in anyone she comes to contact.
But trust is just kind words
and love, one night stands.
She is bashful and defiant,
defiance exhumed.
She exhales her poison
but she can't see past the fumes.
Ready, never ready, been rambunctious and loud.
Her hearts not been so heavy,
deadly rain seeps through the clouds.
