Pat Lynett Jun 2019
I felt my emotions piling over me
Like blankets of water
Where the cold held close
With an illusion of warmth
So linear that the vibrations stopped,
The dreariness felt like home.
Pat Lynett Apr 2019
Infatuated by the silence
Wishing for a voice
That gets me.
Pat Lynett Oct 2020
She was a solstice
Something to be waited upon
Change in such a way
That made the day seem night
And when she spoke
Only the Angels
Could hear her voice.
Pat Lynett Mar 2019
And after all the clatter
Reality settles in
For the remainder of the seconds
I consume.
Pat Lynett Apr 2019
So much sadness
Quietly tucked away
Reserved for a later date
I wish I had stayed.
Pat Lynett Sep 2020
Perfectly painted into my sight
She stood still
And asked me to join her
I had the time of my life
And she vanished
Only remnants of good morning kisses
I wish I could have held her longer.
Pat Lynett Apr 2019
Unfolding the layers
I've settled into
And shedding skin
That doesn't belong to me
Anymore.
Pat Lynett Jul 2020
Pieces of love found throughout
The ones I've held dear
Memories meshed together
As if It was all meant to be
And thoughts come and go
As if they were dreams,
I can barely remember,
But the feeling lasts forever
And has sat with me today
The longing for what cannot be told
Doesn't seem to go away.
Pat Lynett Nov 2019
I wake up and laugh at the dream
Only remembering
That, that dream was me.
Pat Lynett Jan 2018
I just know
That if I ever needed
Bright eyes
I'd be by your side
Because
You like
What I like
And I like
What you like.
Pat Lynett Apr 2019
The cracking of my skin
And the darkness under my eyes
The life I've let in
And the days I wished I'd die.
Pat Lynett Nov 2019
My waking state is of pieces
Slivers I've chosen to accept
Have you found my pain?
Maybe only the fragments I chose
To give away.
Pat Lynett Dec 2018
How do I learn from the darkness
That never unvailes
How do I raise my head
When Im already a shadow
How do I pick up the pieces
Hanging from the gallows
The mind stands still
And the water is
Forever too shallow
To dive.
Pat Lynett Mar 2019
For where it stood
It left nothing underneath
A silent asylum
Of dreams.
Pat Lynett Jan 2018
I want you to stay
But I also want you to leave
You said it was better for you
It was better for me
But how can I see
When love is blind
I can only walk through walls
When you're by my side.
Lost love
Pat Lynett Jan 2019
Do you ever really let go
Of someone you once held
As if when they left
You felt a part
Of yourself
Close
Building up walls
So you won't feel exposed
And ignoring how tall they've grown,
A happy smile
But beyond that
Yields so much pain
I collapse on the thought
That this may never go away.
Pat Lynett Jan 2019
In full view
I see a stranger
In my own eyes
I've lived and I've tried
I've loved and I've lost
And the frost covered pictures
Still make me smile
Just enough
To forget who I am
Inside.
Pat Lynett Apr 2019
Unsorted thoughts
When the silence
Was at it's loudest.
Pat Lynett Aug 2020
I remember when you would smile
When you looked at me
And when I looked back it lasted
For a while.
Pat Lynett Mar 2019
With lips that speak so tense
I'm an eclipse
Waiting for the end.
Pat Lynett Mar 2019
The concepts
Saw hope in an afterlife
But they lacked sweat
Pooling under
Clenched hands.
Pat Lynett Jan 2018
Treading this lifeless body
Through earthly endeavours
Dreading what I'll learn next,
Burning the pages of yesterday
And spawning new ideals
Instilled in me by my failures,
I am what I am
And I'm not what I thought
And what I was?
I wish I forgot.
Pat Lynett Mar 2019
There was a flurry of orchards
All burning under a crescent moon
And the gasps of the unfamiliar,
How they stared like a passerby
All wanting more.
Pat Lynett Apr 2019
I loved her so much that I let her go
Because her happiness
Meant more to me than my own.
Pat Lynett Sep 2019
So full of truth I *****
Dominoes in sequence
For my muse
Pat Lynett Apr 2019
I saw you laugh
And I couldn't
Help remembering
How beautiful
You were
In that moment.
Pat Lynett Dec 2018
Why do I feel
When I'm so lost
My thoughts
Are what makes me want
To give up
If I only held my tongue
Maybe all my wrongs
Would be right
But the serpent inside me
Doesn't trust
Anyone.
Pat Lynett Jan 2019
What does it mean
If I still worry,
We've separated so much
It's impossible to be us
I fall apart just remembering
The reasons
I wonder where you are
And I hope you
Still smile.
Pat Lynett Nov 2019
I'm always reminded
Like you're here beside me
The songs I used to play
And how it all felt
It's too quiet
I'm here, come find me
The love we gave
And how I wish it was now.
Pat Lynett May 2018
I still do check
If you've written something
I'm happy you do.
Pat Lynett Mar 2019
Not knowing what to feel
Might be the worst of them all
That's when we fall
The farthest.
Pat Lynett Dec 2018
When my heart beats different
Is when I fear the world never listened
Sometimes it's not enough to accept
That there will always be something missing
Sometimes I wonder
If I loved you for a reason
And if you ever feel the same.
Pat Lynett Apr 2019
Hibernate till my soul awakes
And wait for the wake
That crawls under my skin
Today and other days
Fade away into a later date
Always remaining here
In this melancholic state,
For eyes do not see mine
When I hide in the shade
I'll smirk when I see the subtle pain
That surrounds me
But my heart is shuddering
And pounding.
Pat Lynett Dec 2019
Sitting slouched and waiting to be questioned
Dying drenched and anxious
Constantly hesitant and vanquished
Trying so hard not to be abandoned
As I've seen before.
Pat Lynett Jul 2018
I think of her dying
I don't see myself surviving
The strongest soul is not of a lion's
It's the one that is tired
From loving others
It's not fair but it's what's on our horizon
Have you seen the sun?
I haven't opened my eyes in a while...
Pat Lynett Jul 2020
When you **** everything you touch
Death doesn't seem too much
Blind for life and in a rush
Crushing my heart
And others
Don't get me started I'm smothered
Who plays the part of my mother
I chose to live for the numbers

And question where I am.
Pat Lynett Feb 2018
I remember
The little things the most
How it felt
When you were close
And how it was when you were far
I always wanted to be there
I never wanted to be apart.
Pat Lynett Jan 2019
You ever want to die
Just to feel something
You ever want to feel?
Pat Lynett Jan 2018
I wish it all could have been easy
But there's no such thing
You were my world
My love and my pain,
Just know that we tried,
And tried
Over and over again
And if I could go back
I promise
I wouldn't change a thing.
You will be my something special
Forever
In memories.
Pat Lynett Dec 2018
Sometimes I think
Could the sun be too bright
Or could this all be a fault in my mind
Just gravitating towards the light
That I've designed
To heal
But maybe it's not real
Could my mind tell such lies?
Or have I just disguised
My sadness.
Pat Lynett May 2019
The day finished as it begun
A somber feeling, no sun, just grey clouds
Remaining so calm but hesitant
With thoughts that weigh me down
The ground doesn't seem low enough
So I fall upward, finding solace in the opposites.
Pat Lynett Jan 2018
If you can't love yourself
How am I supposed to love your doubt,
You have so many beautiful qualities
And it's madness that you push aside
All of these
Lovely things
That you have.
Pat Lynett Dec 2018
If i could find my soul
I'd ask if it would grow
And free me of this body
That always finds misfortune
Sometimes I wish I was alone
More alone than you can imagine
Sometimes I feel so much sadness
That not even tears could ration
Sometimes my thoughts are not passion
But bleak ideals
That take hold without asking
Sometimes I wish it was only
Sometimes
But sometimes is forever passing.
Pat Lynett Jan 2018
My mind drifts
Into
Uncharted waters
Suicide borders
I'm the death you crave
But the life you hate.
Pat Lynett Jan 2018
Is life just on pause
Or has it all stopped
Am I just a ghost
Searching for us
Or am I still here
Just forever lost
My heart still beats
But that's not enough.
Pat Lynett Jan 2019
Salvaging the remnants
Like I have nothing left to give
A world worth noticing
But at times
It feels too hard to live
A soft laugh
Where eyes connect
A bit
If only there was enough
For me to find
In this.
Pat Lynett Feb 2019
I felt a deep nothingness
As if I was about to faint
The cold reality I grasped
Crumbled into something smaller
Unfamiliar
But ever present.
Pat Lynett Jan 2018
My bones belonged to you
And you alone
I tried and died
Again alone.
Pat Lynett Dec 2018
I am everything wrong
With myself
I am
My worst fears
And my doubts
If it wasn't for me
Maybe I wouldn't hate
Everyone else.
Pat Lynett Jun 2020
It's safe it's fine I'm eroding
I used to be so open
Life at times is hopeless
I'm unsolved and morbid.
