Here the coldness of space enters our bones
-the night open to the far distant flung Universe.
How fragile and puny our bodies and minds grasp
-on the distances that reach down across the vastness.
Tipped away from the Sun here in the north
-our days few hours of light swallowed by the dark.
We shiver huddled around our hearths meagre warmth
-deep into the ancient blackness cold as centuries old dead stars.

What is the sound of love
But sweet nothings
I whisper to myself

The sound of heartbreak
But your silence
When I say them.

When is the time right
To float on cloud nine

When it is time
To fall flat-faced on the ground.

It stings
To have a wrong fixed

To be set free
A pillow wet with tears.

What is heartbreak
But sweet everythings
I whisper in your ear

The sound of love
But my words pounding
Through your heart.

I feel it,
a pair of brown eyes,
with the perfect
music playing
and
the return of
feelings and the
spark, spark, spark
still there
after a year away

I'll be waiting
because he could be
the one I need
and ****
Father Time
for trying to take that
away from me

Do you hear the haunting echoes?
They whisper through the walls,
Cries and calls of distortion
Flowing gently in empty halls.

They whisper, through the walls
As flower petals curl, peeling away.
Flowing gently in empty halls,
Like the lightest breath of spring.

As flower petals curl, peeling away
Faded paint flakes slowly fall.
Like the lightest breath of spring,
On my skin the echoes crawl.

Faded paint flakes slowly fall,
Revealing all my hidden shame.
On my skin the echoes crawl
Enveloping me in words of hate.

Revealing all my hidden shame
To you, the voices call.
Enveloping me in words of hate,
You crumpled me into a ball.

To you the voices call
"Another permanent mistake"
You crumpled me into a ball,
To waste, with things you could have erased.

-SLuR

I've shut down no more speak
Heart punctured
Voice week
Thoughts frozen stuck in time
Energy reserved to lick these wounds of mine
People I've loved given too
Don't realise what they say and do
Has an impact on the heart the soul
I feel robbed  their words
Taken their toll
I'm so confused by what they say
I try so hard this game to play
But somehow I have lost my way
Shut down
Tomorrow's another day

Scrunched up lines,
blurred faces,
captured lives and distorted paces.
Ruptured skulls and ripped up dreams.
Coated in paint, stings are ease.
