Repeat that

Find your twisted comfort

But it grows
Strength is waning

Yes, Hope
Yes, Grace
Yes, Forgiveness

Of the greatest magnitude.

But there is a point
Where certain concessions must be made

Infection can progress
In the eye of your mind
To the sharpest edge of choice

Die, or to be saved become blind

You don't even have to love me,
Just please,
Stop keeping me waiting.
Couldn't find any other words.
It’s unintentional but for a moment
What follows after is designed for pain
The daggers from my mouth are automatic
And I know exactly where to aim

You’re breaking the emergency glass
But it’s all too little too late
You’re standing in a bloodbath
And I’m running high on hate

The boiling in my blood rises
As love gives way to rage
I’m burning it all to ashes
And taking you down in flames

Run out while you still can
And don’t try to be a hero
I’ll say what I can’t take back
To make it all even clearer

You say that I don’t mean it
And I try harder to scream
You don’t want to believe it
But this might be the real me
The world gets so much bigger than the back of his car.
I want my words to be beautiful.
Beautiful like yours.
I want to see ordinary things,
Find the magic in them,
And put the magic on a page, for everyone to understand.

I want to have a way with words.
I want every poem of mine
To become a masterpiece.
Just like yours.

I am not broken.

But you are.

You see the world through pain,
And pain makes the colors brighter.
It makes the value of feelings
Climb higher.

Sometimes I wonder
If I should be broken like you
If I want my words to resonate
Like yours.

Sometimes I wonder,
If it will be truly worth it
In the end.

I wonder what it will be like,
To cut myself up to pour out the beauty inside me.

Just like you.

I imagine that you
Raise the blade
Slice your feelings open
And write your masterpiece
In red.
Can only sad people write good poems? Can only broken people find inspiration in anything?

Watched bonded souls disappear
Brothers in arms drenched in blood
Getting harmed , getting hurt.
Being forgotten , being thrown.
Yet over & over again , he picked himself up & braved the sheets on the red line.
Promises built on hope,
She's running constantly in my mind
Only to found out there's a third bind

Lost in battles of love
My love for her was bulletproof
But she shot me right through the heart
In the dark now I reside
Where lives condones to what I've believed
Where fragments puzzled in cubes of despair
Where there's no air to breathe
Only living for the sake of living

Lonely and dying
A soldier lost in a battlefield.
So far away, the daylight fades.
Behind the bridges in my way,
made of old oak and the smiles
of people two thousand miles away.

So far away, no one can stay.
Here with us in our present day,
all the lost dreams we cast away
with each word we couldn't say.

So far away, so far away.
The daylight fades
like our lives and days,
no one can stay.
