Austin 22h
Sigh and gasp,
Scream and bawl,
You cannot hide.

Cannot disguise,
The emptiness in,
You and your words.

If love or hate,
Were ever yours,
The world would have been.

Put on a pedestal,
With a struggling champion,
And a cracked base.

So sing and whisper,
Shudder and laugh,
It matters not to me.
Austin Aug 27
Do you feel love
When you're alone
Or is it just me
Cause you know
That I can't leave
You still thrive
In my heart to this day
But in yours
I'm just another
Body and soul
Left to decay
Austin Jun 30
Being remembered
Forever
Sounds like like a tall
Task
That I'm not up for
Nope
I just want to be
Forgiven
For all that I've
Caused
Austin Jul 2022
I shed the stress of my day
Off at the door
I shed my tears in private
So you don't see
I don't hide my emotions
Just for the sake of it
I don't tell you what is eating away
At my mind and heart
You try to see through the curtains
I don't like Hide and Seek
But if I even gave you a peek
I cannot let you see me when
What I see as me being weak
All these little things
I hope you never see
So you and I can focus
On just being we
Austin Jun 7
I get asked questions
That I
Have already tortured myself with
For years
I get defensive
While being offered guidance
I get fueled by false hope
That someday
I'll have the wherewithal
To wake up
Look myself in the mirror
And be okay with what I see
But for now
Therapy blows chunks.
Austin May 2
Escape comes at a cost
But I've been so ******* lost
I forgot what I'm running from
And now I'm

I want to be here
For everyone I love
But I can't do this
And now I'm

Holding

A bottle of pills
A gun
A steering wheel
A thick piece of rope
A straight razor
A whole bunch of bad decisions
Austin May 19
Let me sleep in peace for once
Let me not feel this way ever again
Let me have the strength to carry on
Let me find my way in this world
Let me see who I really am

I keep asking for these things
And no god answers my calls
But I can't blame any of them though
I don't even answer my own soul
Austin Jun 3
Its always
The simplest
Of things
That can't
Be done
Even just
A quick
I'm sorry
Austin Aug 17
It's the way
You walk by me
Or the way
You talk to me
Or the way
You look at me
And the thing killing me
Is I worry you don't
Actually see me
Austin Apr 30
This existence is either
Breathing at the bottom
Or drowning at the top
This pool is a deception
Its depth a conception
Beyond my understanding
Yet it remains demanding
I give it all of me
Yet it remains empty.
Is
Austin Apr 5
Is
Everything you didn't ask for
Nothing like the last *****

Said I wouldn't let feelings creep
Now we're rolling way too deep

You know me far too well
Now you see my complete hell

Not who you want
Not when you wanted it
Not who you need
Not when you needed it

Both still here so that's just life.
Austin Aug 24
I say that I have made peace with my past,
But have I really?
Or have I pushed it to the depths of my mind,
In an attempt to never acknowledge it?
Austin Aug 1
I curse my apathy
It will be the death of me
Want to hide in the darkest cave
Where no one will dare to save
Clearly lacking in all possible departments
My heart just one of many empty compartments
Austin Jun 10
One of nine Muses
"Beautiful voice"
The patron
Of poetry
And heroic song
Homer's inspiration
Never forget who you are
Austin Sep 2022
Hurt
Heartfelt sorrow
Burnt
Nothing I won't feel
Tomorrow
Thinking only makes it
Worse
I'm haunted and I guess it's a
Curse

I love everything
About not having social media
I worry less
Don't waste my time
Yet
The biggest drawback
Is I can't rub in your face
How happy I am
With someone else
Austin Apr 30
I don't know where
We were led astray
Been told to look up
But all I see is devils above
And angels below
All the right intentions have paved
The way to hell
Lies and misdirections have guided
The way to heaven
Austin Apr 30
I've been looking
For God in silence
Screaming for help
In empty horizons

I've been hurting
For as long as I can remember
Crying pitiful tears while my body
Begs to surrender
Austin Jul 21
I understand why people
Call it lovesick
It can be meant in the way of
You're toxic to my system
And make me ill
Or it can be meant in the way of
When you stare at me
I sweat
And when you are gone
I fret
When you touch me
I shiver
And when you are gone
I wither
Personally?
I love being lovesick.
Austin Jul 21
Oh the tempus
I wasted
By not making
Thee mineth
Thee w're thence
Lingering
We knoweth each oth'r
So well
Lets not wasteth
Aught m're
Austin Aug 19
Been so **** miserable
For so **** long
Saying I don't need anyone
And I don't need help
For the record
I don't choose Misery
I am Her favorite company
Austin Jul 8
Stay
But don't leave
Mine
But not yours
Forever
But not always
Austin Sep 19
Ah, a damaged wing,
Not the endeth of the w'rld,
Somebody shall cometh,
Taketh me in,
Maketh me anew.

Nobody is coming,
High-lone on the f'rest flo'r,
I shall surely perish h're,
By rot 'r predator,
I prayeth tis soon.
