LaFayette Nov 2019
A vision of the sand and waves endlessly
Unending sky and sundown magenta

The slow rock of the chair and me in the breeze
A glance to my right and vacant stare to infinity

My mistake left me here to contemplate fate
Of a solitary life without the love of another

I yearn for one who can see through my scarred form
Unconditionally accept the soul which rests inside

Will you stay here and be all I ever needed?
Will you fill this empty chair here, love?
LaFayette Nov 2019
Marred in love

Muted and unheard

Maimed by chilblain

Mauled by indifference



Free of my cold chrysalis

Frigid prison uncased

Flawed but thawed

Fully new again

Why can’t you just leave well enough alone for once?
You don’t need to say every **** thing living in your head
Do you think it makes you some sort of savant?
Because maybe you should just keep it to yourself now and again
Would it **** you to give everyone in your life a break?
Keep a stiff upper lip instead of being a raw, exposed nerve
Could we maybe spare the world your feelings?
Sooner or later people just won’t want to listen anymore
LaFayette Nov 2019
Turning the sky to a wave of ink
Consuming all in my path
Engulfing that which I love
Devastation when I depart
Force of nature undefeated
The Black Hurricane of me

You forget about what you have
Until it all falls apart and you’re desperate
Like calling to God on your deathbed

The one who called every week
When I lost one of those most important
Even though I didn’t really listen

The one who took every call
Who never took a break from my breaking
And told me to keep my head

The one who I never laid eyes on
The stranger on the other end of the phone
Promising it will all be okay

The group of idiots crazy as me
Keeping the insane conversation going
Sometimes nothing is best said

My friends are proof positive
That I have an embarrassment of riches
I forgot that before and won’t again

I thought I should stay

Turns out my life kinda ******

I’m happier now
LaFayette Oct 2019
You are my past and my never again
You left me but I left you faster
And I know I won’t ever look back
But why can’t I move forward
I want to feel my heart pounding
When she finally says I love you
When I can tell her I’m ready for her
When the ghosts are gone
And all that’s left is to fall
Into her arms and never to leave
God, I hate me so much right now
