Waiting
ESR Nov 2015
I waited all night for a sun that didn't rise,
I killed the time but the pain wouldn't die,
Waiting in line for the hurt to subside,
I check my watch now its time to hide

To start it all again

He wakes up
Opens his drawer
And puts on a smile
That's just his size
He can take it
But he cant wear it
Anywhere else
No not this time

Then or Now
ESR May 2015
The man who has it all
Is unlimitedly blessed
When the very words he speaks
Puts gold medals on his chest
But this man who receives
And who is told through rhyme  
Can't choose then or now
Because The man who has it all
Is a little short on time

I'd never win a war,

I put a smile on your face
today

Why is it so
Complicated
To be
Myself

Why must we
hide away
To earn moral

Ignition
ESR Sep 2015
If it was a car I'd be,
This blade would be the key.
It would jumpstart my heart every time I want a little go or need a little stay.
It would be so easy to up and drive away, all I'd need is a little ignition.
I just need to position the key in place
And ignite away. And my wrist seems the only place to start, And my heart is needing, a little more than a spark.

Without You
ESR Apr 2016
I wish
That wishes did come true
I'm counting down the moments
Hoping you are too

Silence
Fills this open room
Nothing sounds good anymore
Nothing without you

I can't
Take it anymore
My heart is breaking at
Every closing door

The moment they threw you
That other line

A wise man
once said  It's pointless,
To seek joy beneath the sun,
This is no Song of Solomon but,
Once it's finished-
Can you say you've won?

If your worried about your significance,
Don't. Because in the end every row of pawns has the potential to become an army of Queens

Cradled Eyes
ESR Oct 2015
Ask and then
You shall receive,
But not for what
You hoped to see,
The world is clouded
It's getting hard to
Breathe, and even
Harder to see.

I couldn't hold back the tears, so
they came running down my face as if chased by the devil. But I didn't hold them back. Because you told me once, that each of my tears only ever increase the value of my smile.

I Want
ESR Mar 2015
I want to go back to the hospital
I want to go back to the mountains
I want to go back to where I felt something
Euphoria or pain there all the same
once you get past their names
I want to go back

Sticks and stones may
break these bones, but
The thought of losing you
Tears them apart, until
Each broken piece
mirrors my heart

I'd be counting down the days
But this sixteen is bitter sweet
And I loathe the ground with all my heart
To its last worthless beat
