The scythe is never dry
Fight!
To stay alive...

Cheat death of its vice
This poem is based off the idea of fighting depression and any ideas of death taking over your mind. Finding the good in life and to remember to breathe. Death and depression will always be there, but you are strong enough to fight it and succeed.

For more context, the image of a scythe never being dry is because death/depression are always around.

Every second passing by
I die
trying to understand life
Not everything needs an answer.

You are my freedom
But
I miss my *******
And that is my sin

Lost in thought
Mind is gone
In search of solace
By breathing in
And moving on
Couldn't put a definite description, but it's about sometimes spacing out and thinking too much of the past that you can forget to just breathe. Sometimes finding solace is breathing in and moving on.

When I least expect it,
You hold my hand
And guide me

In the depths of an ocean of loneliness,
You remind me of companionship

I begin to remember the sunny days
The rainy days
The gloomy days
The days that made me

I have found to love those memories
Sometimes in the darkest of hours or even at random, memories seem to change the tone of thinking. Yet, we can deal with them any we'd like. I enjoy the memories that remind me I'm cared for.

Matches constantly lit
No char
No ash

Unscathed

No fire
No ember
Just memories it gave
The poem is about false hopes and love. They have no effect sometimes, but are memorable.

We rarely talk
We've had memories
Some bittersweet

You're the song on repeat
And I want it to stop
Get it off my mind

No longer do I want this lullaby
The mind wakes up memories before you sleep and sometimes it's of old romances
