Presently
Isaac Jan 2015
You say that you love me.
Our ties too strong to sever.
Your future fears say "it can't be"
You're losing me forever.

fall
Isaac Oct 2014
Leaves in autumn started falling much like this young couple stalling.
"Time to go." Her mother's calling.
Out of time he bids farewell.

I'm blind
Isaac Jun 2014
Eyes are the windows to the soul.
One does not see with their eyes but with their brain.
The eyes are but windows letting in the light.
My brain says stop while my heart says go.
My brain ceases to work when you're around.
Is that why love is blind?
I need a guide because I think I'm about to fall again.
Literal mind ****

Do you feel a draft?
Isaac Jun 2014
So I'm am idiot and a fool
Well that's something I knew a long time ago.
But constant reminders are far from welcome.
I haven't shut the door and they sneak in slow.
I should have closed it a long time ago.

I'm feeling a draft tonight.
Leaving is the one I did only just find.
Dark is nothing but the absence of light
And cold is just the absence of  heat.
I'm shivering at the thought of going blind.
Unedited and nonsensical Mind puke

Silver Lining
Isaac Jun 2014
They say that every cloud has a silver lining.
So I held onto that hope to keep from falling.
Only then did I realize that I'd been deceived.
When it sliced through my palms and and I fell to my knees.
The sun disappeared, silver turned to gray.
Unable to stand, I could only but pray.

They say that every cloud has a silver lining.
A precious mineral found in the dull of the stone.
I thought I had found it in dark once while mining.
The ceiling collapsed and broke every bone.

They say that every cloud has a silver lining.
I searched the smoke to find that light.
Thought I had found it piercing and blinding.
I stared far too long, now my day is night.

Red in morning
Isaac Jun 2014
I'd never seen someone like her, with perfect smile contagious.
I knew that in her soul, a fire. Enough for all it rages.
I turned to look into her eyes and found the perfect storm.
This girl I've found is something else, she's far above the norm.
"Man the trap and Reef the sail!" Alas I was too late
For The girl without a chance I stood. I'd fallen in the lake.
A broken hiking strap is proof enough that for my fall.
That sudden gusts from girls like her I did not plan at all.
Head over heels I tumbled down. I didn't seem to mind.
Maybe with luck, most likely not I'd some day call her mine

Hey you
Yeah you
The man in the mirror
Well not exactly
More like a boy
In between
Yes that's what you are
In the middle
Too old to have fun like in past not again
Too young to do this, right here, there and then
Right in the middle
Not of age but the coming of it
The time to complain
To act older than you are
and then younger than you should
A voice crack of maturity
There's disease all around
Yes depression and mono and self doubt exist
they're there in a multitude
It's quite obvious too
No need to allude
Enough for everyone to have
a little
or a lot
no matter what you'd prefer
Yet the problem lies with us
we're never quite sure
We're not sure which we'd rather have
We're not sure what is worst
What to do
What to say
when it's time to let go
Or if we should stay
To let on that at night
sometimes you pray
Not sure what to
but sometimes
Sometimes it's just something to say
A cry into oblivion
For anyone to hear
Yet no one will listen
That's my biggest fear
To let someone know
That For her you shed tears
Of both joy and of sorrow
"Man that's pretty gay"
That you're scared what will happen tomorrow next day
Next Month
And Next year
I'm Not sure
I don't know
Take control of your fate
Don't let the gray rule
The smoke machine of our lives
Is fattened and fed
Indecisiveness is the plague hanging over our heads
It's a cloud bringing rain
Soaking the ground
The reason the worms have gathered around
And what will we do when we need to make sense
Of things that are happening now
Present tense
Is it yes is it no?
you can't always stay neutral
"I just don't know"
Please don't give me that
Make a decision for once in your life
For anyone's sake just answer the question I don't want to hear what you think is best for me or for you
For somebody please
Just let me know what it is you believe
you're driving me crazy
my head's in a stew
I just want a simple no or a yes
"It's for my own good" means nothing at all
Because staring at shoelaces gives little away
I'm not sure what it is
why can't you just say
I don't deserve much
but respect would be nice
So just look in my eyes
I only beg that you spare me your lies
Pierce my heart with a spear
Or keep it held close
And always near
Just let me know!
Sure rejection hurts but it's healthy to hear
Just be blunt to my face don't quiver in fear

Collapsible Lungs
Isaac Jun 2014
I'm alive but barely breathing,
Troubled lungs with time receding.
Oceans swelling deep within me,
Close my eyelids, open now free.

Forbidden love demands a loser,
Better I go down without her.
This ships sinking, fate demanding.
Losing altitude, plane's crash landing.

Plane kiss ground, knife into skin,
****** water, sharks, I see fin.
Feeding frenzy, ripped into shreds,
Liquid racing, childhood sleds.

Winter wonderland, now stained red,
What the **** is wrong with my head?
Cleanse in shower, I'm still *****,
Put my mask on "Yeah I'm sturdy".

Headphones on, I won't hear a thing,
Never mind dad's started yelling.
Out the door, maybe if I run.
Dusty pavement, sparks from a gun.

How the hell did I end up here?
Outside her house, with no one else near.
Ring the bell? No I'm a coward.
Once again I'm overpowered.

Call a friend and smoke some grass,
I think of how I've been an ***.
If I stepped in her shoes I'd see,
Never mind they're too small for me.

Return home, collapse into bed,
Swirling thoughts inside of my head.
Reality hurts when it bites,
I'll try and sleep it off tonight.

overused
Isaac May 2014
I'm sorry I ever told you I loved you.

Not because it is not the truth.

But because I'm only saying what we both know is true.

The first night I said it was late on the phone.

I was scared for what you would put yourself through.

I said it to you tears audible in my tone.

Three words that mean so much, yet never enough.

I gave myself completely to you

My cards turned outwards for you to call my bluff

You only once returned those words towards me.

But now you deny that,

Water from my eyes for all to see.

I wish you never said those words "I love you"

I could see it in your eyes, each one a galaxy.

Some Words are more overrated than the color blue

I said it once,  from there now i overused

Conversing now lazy because "I love you"

No more amoret or hazel, three words now I abused

Because I said those words this is difficult.

I became who I swore not to be.

In modesty never now alone's the result.

skittles and wine
Isaac May 2014
Today I was alone
I didn't go to school
I stayed sick at home
Under my own rule

The day went by too slow
But then it went too fast
Doing nothing I now know
Something I want to last

It is now the evening
The sun no longer shine
I'm sitting here and reading
While feasting on skittles and wine
A poem about nothing I'm particular other than doing nothing

overly melodramatic
Isaac May 2014
I cannot be sure the day I died,
I'm pretty sure it rained.
Not only water from tears I cried,
Was darkened sidewalk stained.

I ran alone through midnight static,
In puddles my steps fell.
Hating to be melodramatic,
But it was ******* hell.

Running in fear of being too weak,
To stay away from knife.
For her not I my promise keep,
Because she saved my life.
My last escape is still a reminder

Pray for isolation,
One ironic lonely nation.

I don't know
Isaac May 2014
How did it come this way
Each day hosts clouds of gray.
The shadow proves the sunshine,
or so I've heard her say.
The words she said used to be mine,
no longer feel this way.
For now

seeds of our disease
Isaac May 2014
We know the pain, we've sown the seeds.
It makes it worse when nothing bleeds.
There is no cure for our disease.

There will always be deaths and lives,
But in the end of alibis,
It all drifts away when a mother cries.

new motivation
Isaac May 2014
Last night I lay awake alone in bed.
With thoughts of dreams and hopes I left behind.
The things I've done have filled me full of dread,
While those I missed renew within my mind

Tonight the antlers moan inside my skull,
Singing of love that passed away with life.
My rights and wrongs I can not help but mull.
My troubled heart is bleeding from that knife.

I fall asleep, I need to find a way.
When doves! They come, I'm lifted off the ground.
I see that if for one more second stay,
Beneath the raging waters I'd have drowned.

My purpose I see for now is quite stark,
The hearts you left to soon to warm, I'll mark.

My friends I did not want to be,
With you, I needed, here with me.

The words I said, misunderstood,
I'd take them back, I wish I could.

We can't get up without a fall,
Maybe we will, by autumn call.

Bookmark in place, I bid ado.
With these last three words, I love you.
