In the Midst of the Stars
Elexer Nov 2015
You can trust me
You can believe me
When i say
I've been there and back
I've experienced it all
Not in this life
Some other time
That's how i know
When you ask that question
And i don't have an answer
That's how i know
And i could take it
Or leave it, but
The reality is,
It won't happen
Not the way you think it will
You're predictions
I'm sorry, honey
They're false
Now you can stay here
With me
Or you can go back home
Where no one cares
Like i do
Where they aren't gentle
Like i am
Because i know you
You're fragile
A butterfly
Or a fragment
Of a soiled puzzle
On the surface of a pond
But i would rather, i would
If you stayed
Right here with me
Forever, with me
In the midst of the stars

Salt Water
Elexer Nov 2015
It fills the ocean
As it fills my eyes
I care more for you
Than my own demise
If i can't hold back
Then what can i do?
I can't go that far
I can't say that to you
For fear that you'll
Turn your scarred back
On me, i'm a fool
I'm a fool
I'm a fool

I Want You in My Dreams

I need you so
I want you in my dreams

Broken (part 3)
Elexer Nov 2015
For the second time
It's almost better this time
Two hundred
Twenty eight thousand
Nine hundred
Ninety six pieces
I will
Two hundred
Twenty eight thousand
Nine hundred
Ninety five pieces
Finally,
No more running
No more chasing
The pieces are cooperating
You were so broken
And you still are
When i finish
And i will
I can tell the final image
Will have breaks and tears
But i can feel myself being
Part of it
I am
Two hundred
Twenty eight thousand
Nine hundred
Ninety four pieces
I am, and i will
Two hundred
Twenty eight thousand
Nine hundred
Ninety three pieces
We are,
And we will

Elexer Nov 2015
Eleven eighteen
The day that I'm freed
From the chains that bind
Me to that cloudy state of mind
The day I'll never forget
That started out so wet
It ended so perfectly though
A flawless boat to row
I hope it never ends
As it so often tends
Nothing I'd rather see
And with no one I'd rather be

Euphoria
Elexer Nov 2015
A pat on the back
For a job well done
Euphoria
Being the best
Being number one
Euphoria
Having a blast
Having fun
Euphoria
Meeting a pretty girl
A girl you like a ton
Euphoria
You feel like smiling
You feel like you've won
Euphoria

A feeling or state of intense
Excitement and happiness

Haiku For The Weak

There is no such thing
In this so destructive life
As a weak martyr
This haiku ***** but I kinda liked the way it sounded in my head. So whatevs

Agida
Elexer Nov 2015
A feeling of anxiousness
Overwhelms me
Intensely
But not really anxiousness
Or nervousness
Can't describe it
Except,

May 27
Elexer Nov 2015
The day, today
Is my brother's wedding
Smiling faces, happy people
A hand shake
A casual greeting
A girl sitting next to me
Don't get too close
Because then I'll get too close
And the ceiling and
The walls will collapse
I'll be trapped there
For three years
Under the weight
Of what i thought
Was a lost love
Picked up by a fallen angel
Don't talk to me
Don't look at me
Don't cause me
To fall in love with you
Because I am just
Dumb enough to
Actually do it
The night ends
Everyone is drunk
And I'm still thinking
About you
The Bell that rings
In my ears
It will ring until
The day of my death
And I'll always remember

A Long Walk
Elexer Nov 2015
I walk and I walk
And I talk to myself
And I tell myself
It won't be okay
Everything won't be fine
It never has been
So it never will be
That's the way it works
So I walk and I walk
And I talk to myself
And I tell myself
I don't want to give up
Giving up is weak
I am strong, mentally
The strongest I know
But how can I do it?
How can I keep going
When it will never be fine?
But I walk and I walk
And I talk to myself
And I tell myself
It will be okay
Everything will be fine
Because I will make it that way
Whatever I have to do
I'll make this happen
I stop walking
I stop talking
And I begin
Making everything okay

Infinite Death
Elexer Nov 2015
Pay your debt
Make your bet
You wept and wept
Over the promise you kept
And all the while
You face the trials
Of your own never ending

Six Days
Elexer Nov 2015
No period of six days
Has ever felt so long
As this one seems to
I've never felt so wrong
Feel like I'm in a maze
With an hour long ****** song
Stuck in my head all day
For some reason I'm singing along
Going backwards in a daze
Elexer Nov 2015
I'm slowly disintegrating
I'd love to say I feel nothing
But that would be a lie
I feel everything all the time
It really ***** ***
When will it be over?
Elexer Nov 2015
Dear God,
*******
For everything you've put us through
The people here who write about
Sadness, depression, lost love
Heartbreak, anger, pity
It's not fair what we have to endure
Every single day
So I don't think you actually exist
But if you do,
*******, God.
*******.

Or splashing
Or swimming
Not really sure
Swirling around
In a lost puddle

I Honestly Don't Know
Elexer Nov 2015
When do I try again?
I honestly don't know
It's only been a day
But it feels like weeks
If I try too soon
Will it be a mistake?
Or is it what she wants?
I honestly don't know
Should I take a chance
Or wait for her
As long as it takes
It's what she asked for
But it's so hard
I'm caving under the pressure

Beyond Saving
Elexer Nov 2015
Another cigarette
Another case of beer
Another bad decision
Another child of fear

One more time
One more day
One more fault
One more fray

Keep on smoking
Keep on drinking
Keep on ruining
Keep on sinking

Continue your mess
Continue your ways
Continue ******* us up
Continue to pray

You think God
is going to fix
what you've done?

One more far fetched game
Keep on wishing
Continue your dream

To you alone
Elexer Nov 2015
Cried out
To you alone
What's in you?
Throw me a bone
Oh life
What did you know?
How do we ever decide?

Careful love
Blow it away
Let's go there
What do you say?
Oh life
Why do you wait?
How do we get to the sky?

Called out
To you alone
What made you?
Maybe you know
Oh life
Let it all go
How do we get to the sky?

Only Perfect
Elexer Nov 2015
You know when you find someone
Who is the most perfect person
For you

And you know this is true
Immediately, know what they mean
To you

They have all of the qualities you need
In a person, you want them forever
With you

Rambling Fearful
Elexer Nov 2015
It's this constant fear I have
That I've been doing something wrong
Since the very start
Over and over again
Not realizing it at all
I mean what can you do?
If that is the case...
Because I was happy once
In fact I was happy recently
Very very shortly
But that was taken from me
And it actually wasn't me
Not my fault at all
Until it was my fault
And then I took the blame
Now I stay quiet
With my head in my hands
Full of love and shame

Nothing Will Come of It
Elexer Nov 2015
If i thought it was enough,
If i thought today was enough,
Maybe i could come back home
Without my sorrows
Without all of those things
And this thing we've come
To recognize again will die
We will all forget
what makes us happy
Really, actually happy
And it is not too soon to say
Nothing will come of it

I Won't Ever Be Happy Again
Elexer Nov 2015
Well morning came
And it dressed the sky
In a lovely yellow gown
Now the shops they are
All opening
In that narrow hallway of downtown
Filled with people who
Are shopping for
Their lovers and their friends
So they won't ever be lonely again
Well a forest fenced
becomes backyards
Like songs are born from sound
And the apple fell
And it taught us all
We are chained here to the ground
So here we go
But there ain't no escape
Yeah, these streets they're just dead ends
So I won't ever be happy again
Well, it seems you too
See a painful blue
When you stare into the sky
You could never understand
The motion of a hand waving you goodbye
But as the story goes
or it is often told
A new day will arise
And all the dance halls will
Be full of skeletons
That are coming back to life
And on a grassy hill
the lion will
lay down with the lamb
And I won't ever be lonely again
But until that time
I think I had better find
some disbelief to suspend
Cause I don't want to feel like this again

One more poem tonight
Elexer Nov 2015
I hurt her
I think i did
The girl who
I would light
The world
On fire for
I can't stop
Thinking about her
I don't even
Really want to
She's so...
Wonderful
Funny
Clever
Emotional
Imperfect
But perfect
In a weird way
I hope she stays true
If she can't bare
Another minute
With me then
Someone else
May end up
Picking up my
Scattered pieces
I can't stop
Thinking about her

I wi-
What is that?
Earthquake? 
How? Everything
Was so perfect
And now the pieces are
Scattered, broken
Again
Wait, the pieces!
No!
No....
Ok well...
Putting the first few
Hundred thousand 
Together was actually
Kind of fun
But now they run
But now they...run?

the pieces spontaneously grow legs and run away

No! I can help you
Don't go
This was my life now
And i was happy
Happier than i've ever been
Fine. 
I guess i'll have to
Find, catch, and 
Put you back together
And i will
I promise
I will
I see trails and clues
Follow them to
The scattered pieces
One running away
Gotcha
Nine hundred 
Ninety nine thousand
Nine hundred 
Ninety nine

Elexer Nov 2015
You're so broken
Shattered
A million pieces
I'm picking up
Let's see
This one goes here
And that one-
Ouch, sharp
I can see it
What this is meant to be
What you're meant to be
The pieces aren't 
Together yet
But i'll put them
Where they belong
I will
The way you belong
Happy
You're so broken
A million pieces
But i will
Nine hundred 
Ninety nine thousand
Nine hundred
Ninety nine pieces
I will
Nine hundred 
Ninety nine thousand
Nine hundred
Ninety eight pieces
I will 
This is going to be
Beautiful
When it's done
When i finish
And i will
Nine hundred 
Ninety nine thousand
Nine hundred
Ninety seven pieces
I will

I messed up
Elexer Nov 2015
I did it again
I messed up
Something good
Something my heart
Was going crazy for
I looked where
I knew i shouldn't
But i didn't really know
That this would be
The result of that
I only wanted to see
For myself what exactly
She was about
And i don't regret it
I told her that
I never would have
Known the wonders
Of her life that i love
Never never never
But now i will always
Remember those things
And cherish them
No matter what happens
And i'm keeping my word
I haven't looked at her there
In her small corner of the world
But she is mad at me now
She wants space
And all i want
Is her forgiveness
I'll cease to exist
And curl up and die
If i lose her
Before i even had her
If i lose my

Midnight Dream

A pen
A paper
A tired weary theme

Fingers
A keyboard
A dimly lit screen

A quill

There is no direction
No predictability
I thought i could make it
Maybe i'm capable

But i'll always have that doubt
That nagging sensation
Even though it was so
Inevitable

The future looks dark
To a pessimist like me
Opportunity is easy
When it's available

Night
Elexer Nov 2015
It's night, it's day
It's night, it's day
I can't help but think
There is no path to pave
It's dark, it's bright
It's dark, it's bright
What is there tomorrow
If there is no tonight
It's right, it's wrong
It's right, it's wrong
This road doesn't exist
And yet it seems so long
It's quiet, it's loud
It's quiet, it's loud
The sun is covered up 
But there are no clouds
It's early, it's late
It's early, it's late
Should i get up and go
Or stay here and wait
It's night, it's day
It's night, it's day
Is it day or is it night
Is it night or is it day
It's night, it's night
It's night, it's night

— The End —
