A thought
Darius Dec 2023
What exactly is madness?
Go ahead. Google it.
That, there, is a slippery *****
Believe everything you see and soon
You'll fall in love with the madness

Tell Me A Secret
Darius Dec 2023
Tell me a secret
Something so old
It sticks to you like glue
Tell me a secret
Something no one knows
Not even you
Darius Dec 2023
Checkered pasts - black, white
Faith is the motivation
A pawn moves forward

The Alchemist Way

The wolf howls at night
The Divine Circle reveals
It consumes itself

Synonyms for Love
Darius Aug 2017
I'm just a boy who is infatuated by stars
Looking for stories in everything that I see
An undeniable warmth that glows in every creation
A brilliance that basks your soul with a feeling you know should exist
Like it is a law of this world and the next.
Darius Aug 2017
" It's okay.
Even the stars collapse into themselves when they've burdened too much.
So fall into yourself,
Endure yourself,
Learn what makes you shine.
  You're ready. A star is being reborn. "

Lingering
Darius Aug 2017
Yes, I'm hurt. No, I am not okay. My heart is still healing, and I do not want your help. The same way a beast attacks to show resentment, refusing to let its wounds be touched or hurt even further.
Darius Aug 2017
I am emotionally drained
Comfortably numb
I sit on this throne with a crown made of thorns
Lose my name, lose my touch
Isolation is the gift for saying too much
But not acting enough  
A jester donned in king's ornament
Isn't this fun?

Always
Darius Aug 2017
I fell into you
and you fell out of me
But somehow,
We always make it back to each other
Like we're each other's missing piece
We always do

New Game +
Darius Jul 2017
I've said it all before
But words just aren't enough
I reached for a star and fell
And today I finally stood up
This is the new game +
Darius Jul 2017
I know you've been hurt in the past
I have been too
You carry your heart like it's made of glass
I don't blame you
I can't make any promises
I can't say there'll be any regrets
But I know I could love you so much if you'd let
Let me love you until you can learn to love again
Let me love you in waves
Waves that calmly wash over the shore you call pain
Let me love you so much you never give love a bad name
Let me love you until you can see what I see in everything you do
Because every time you look at me
I only see stars in you
Darius Jul 2017
I have this dream
Where it's just you and me
We'd stay in bed all day
Because most nights we barely sleep
No words
No people
Just peace
Darius Jul 2017
I never truly understood the concept of missing a person while sitting right next to them until now. Life may change over time, but the memories don't.
Not when you look at me like that.
Darius Jul 2017
So here's a prayer for every wish I wasted on you
For every star I forced to fall in hopes that dreams do come true
I'll beg for their forgiveness, but I won't beg for you.
Darius Jul 2017
I thought of you less today
But not a day goes by
That I don't wonder if you're doing okay
Darius Jul 2017
Would it be selfish of me if I wanted you to look for me in everything that you do? If I wanted you to smile every moment you thought of my name? If I wanted you to come back to me one day, asking for my love? That same love I repressed for so long because it loved too much. That same love that taught me the meaning of patience and forgiveness. Because I'd be so ready to give it to you.
Darius Jul 2017
Theoretically, there's a web of different possibilities with specific steps that could answer every adversity in life; however, those answers are rarely ever known. Sometimes we make choices with good intentions that we think is for the best and often wonder if we could have somehow handled that better. Maybe a part of life is learning that we'll never get to know those answers. We just keep putting ourselves out there, hoping for the best.

A heartfelt letter
Darius Jul 2017
I have complete faith in the idea that you get what you give back into this world. Don't deny yourself to shine because you don't see growth right away. Consume yourself with the things that make you happy, and let them consume you in return.

From,
A selfish boy in healing

The Concept of Listening
Darius Jul 2017
Listen
You don't need words to see what's missing
Open your eyes but actually see with your mind
Take it all in
You already know the answer but choose to stay blind

Hey, can we be a couple?
Darius Jul 2017
"Hey, so could we maybe be a couple?"
"Maybe? That sounds a bit indecisive."
" Well, I know I love you"
"And I love you. "
"You do? "
" More or less."
"So then we're a couple?"
"I don't know."

"I don't think much would change between us, so.."
"So, we don't have to be a couple then."
"Yeah, maybe we're better off friends."
"Yeah, maybe."

"What if we do become a couple one day?"
"We'll probably be a couple forever or find someone better."
"Yeah..that is how that goes."

"Do you really want to be together that much?"
"I don't know."
Darius Jul 2017
Please have faith in me
Because I am not strong as I think

Please have faith in me
Because I am constantly holding back tears to the brink

God, please have faith in me
Because I can't do this alone
And I don't know what to call home

— The End —
