I cannot be erased
I am to be loathed
The vermin you despise
Cumbersome I make your life
I drown you in shadows
You cannot resist
You are too weak
I am not darkness for I am light
I am what you need
Except me
Let me in
I need in

Oh jess
You were mine
Now you aren't
Can't be followed
Unattainable
My fingers grasped dearly for you but yet no love could have held you tight enough
I was cumbersome to you
I felt too much
Now I am lost
Unable to feel
Reeling from the lapse of you not being in my life
Unable to feel
I want to feel
Feel your soft embrace
It wasn't great but I'll treasure it
Both walking in opposite directions
My heart is mine alone
While I'll always miss you I'll never need you
I will be content

Countless cases of fraudulent sympathy
Sympathizing for one while one doesn't truly care
A facade
Dropping the veil from its tethered place on the stage of eternity
Unmasking the darkest truth there is to one
Our soul
Our heart
Stuck in reverie
Musing our souls as one
This cannot be
We shall remain independent of one another
Unable to see true self worth in only ourself while we so desperately cling to others
Humility

He lay on his right side trembling with horror of the blight which had succumbed him. Crawling, squirming, the creature sacredly broke through his flesh.

Solitary yet surrounded by joyous whims
Memories flutter
The soul

Why must we sit and be shackled each and every day?
I yearn to be free
Free of what makes us so dull and uncompelling
Free to dream
Free to not fear what my future hold and rather embrace the uncertainty
To be free is to live and to live is to be free
With this said I am doing neither
Freedom eludes me
I want to live

The wall seemed favorable and was blackened by the ever gaining shadow of the sun slowly descending in the distance. He stood motionless. In aw by the gaze which the darkness seemed to cast. A shadow. Doubting his newly found conviction he waited. Unable to hear the shrieks of carnage in the distance for the carnage in his heart was deafening. Cold gripped his breath as he drew from his sheath. He felt nothing. The feeling of emotion had be cast into the depths of his wounded heart. He used thought as a crutch rather then lending his sense to the emotions he had throw away. Yet now he thought nothing. Only body movements were capable now. Slowly drawing the blade further into his chest he saw snow.
