I took a walk down memory lane
Through moments of  happiness, fear and pain -
To look back and see how i've arrived -
Spurs me on with a stronger stride.
I feel that I've owned every mistake -
And healed moments where my heart would ache,
To view life through the objective lens -
Pulls me through days where it feels like the end
Echoes of the past follow me through life
To remind me of much kinder times.
Sometimes i feel really sad about the crazy decisions i've made.

No stranger to temptation
Yet i find myself here -
This self destruction
Compells me beyond fear

Life's trappings cannot hold -
The fears of mortal souls,
Forced forward to an end
One will never suspend

So forth i will stride
Into paths indeterminate -
No longer denied
I will advance with morals forfeit

I'm afraid
To say i miss you,
To say that i care.
To say that i love you,
To say i'll be there.

I'm afraid
Of those who stand
In our way, every day

I'm afraid
I can't give you
The love that you pursue

I'm afraid
They'll destroy me
And through me, destroy you.
Something i wrote thinking about the complicated relationship i have. **** you, WDK.

Here you are -
frozen in time.
Here i have captured
The warmth of your smile

Lines speak experience,
Framing ageless eyes.
Your infectious radiance
Tells me no lies.

No joy is contained,
No emotion forced.
There is no need for restraint -
No need for remorse.

This moment will survive,
Unspoiled by time and wear.
Even after death arrives,
You'll always be there.
Felt compelled to write something after flicking through the pictures on my phone. I have very few pictures of the important people of my life. I also realised that my favourite pictures were the worst ones.

I heard it once, spoken, in a hushed tone-
Was I awake to hear these words?
Was i in company or was i alone,
To listen to these words in that hushed tone?

"Do not go silently into the night"

Those words ate into an innocuous soul -
From the time I was young, to the time i was old
Those words lingered with a tenacious hold

I misspent time and felt so much pain
Life felt less the blessing and more a bane
I trudged endless lonely roads
And witnessed relations form and corrode

I existed to exist - obligated to survive
No star of any story, no one to thrive
I was the one who was seen yet unseen
Just another cog functioning in a machine

My words were heard but never heard
My future as futile as my spoken word
Silence fell upon healthy ears
Silence - the one thing we all fear

What do i see in you?
I look beyond the lines.
For there are few people,
Whose smile reaches their eyes
Me contemplating photographs again.

We are candle and flame,
In the darkness we burn bright;
Fragile against the cold wind,
But we'll burn through this night;
Ask not of tomorrow,
The wick is almost through;
There is no time for such sorrow,
Only for me and you.
This is dedicated to the special people in my life who are much older than myself. It's crazy that you guys will die a lot sooner. It hurts to think about it. So i don't.

Never forgotten,
Always in our hearts;
Here it has been written,
For those yet to depart.

Kind words starve sorrow ,
Fills lives left hollow;
Here to annul fears,
And dry the fresh tears.

Stone crumbles, and falls,
Chipped away by wind and rain;
Acceptance befalls,
Where there was once so much pain;

There are no more flowers,
The past is left behind;
Time and death devours,
Even the strongest bonds unwind.
I wrote this a few days after reading epitaphs at a couple of graveyards. It's an inexplicable mix of emotions i feel when I'm at those places. It's such a somber place, yet there is still some hope and happiness. It's hard to see from an outside perspective.

Abysmal eyes
The telling disguise
Of an unrefined
Disarray of feelings.

Here you despair
For the bond we once shared
It remains -
In disrepair.

oOo

Your voiceless cut -
Like knife through butter;
Sharp, deliberate, clean.
Tears welled in eyes
Mouth a firm line
(I still don't know what you mean)

You are stubborn and strong
(No, you're never wrong!)
And you lack the sense to see.
I never wanted to fear,
Yet we are here -
I ask now, how could this be?

oOo

You speak to me silence
A voiceless, needless violence
Silence!
- It solves nil

All hate -
This way will never dissipate.
Fouls years of love,
...do what you will
Had an argument with mum. Inspired me to write this.

What a time to be alive
So sure that every day is mine
"There is a time for everything!"
"God knows what life can bring!"

A worthless remedy for broken souls
To bring them back to feeling "whole"
The only day that was guaranteed
It was the day that had already been
You
K Wolff Aug 2018
You
When I'm parted of your presence,
I merely exist;
To say I'm living would be a lie,
For it is you I greatly miss.

Days without you pass like years,
Every hour drags by;
As the end of the week nears,
I wonder if I'll see your smile.

Because no words that I possess,
Can quite tell you how I feel;
No words adequately express,
The love for you which I conceal.
I'm really bad at expressing myself with people i love. Somehow this is easier.

— The End —
