Skyscrapers and Taxi Cabs
Skyler M Jan 2018
Standing atop this dangerous skyscraper,
I threaten myself by taking another terrifying step towards the edge,
My eyes won't focus on the ground below,
Only the sky above,
As I cry holy tears I see,
A beautiful plain Taxi Cab fall to my feet,
I know where it will take me,
So I hop inside before my feet reach the ledge.

These headlights soon become too dark for me to stay,
So I jump out into the stars,
They fly by as I drop,
My hands are wrapped in black ink,
Representing my creative input onto paper,
The beautifully plain Taxi Cab attempts to save me,
It misses and I'm bursting with pride.

Eyes Inside Trees
Skyler M Jan 2018
I start to part myself apart,
See which side I like more,
Far, to far to see my eyes in the trees,
Blinded, I wander the greens as I lean onto a tree,
It gives away like a ghost,
Tear away the moss,
It poisons my heart.

Ghost
Skyler M Jan 2018
I found my soul inside your ghost,
Every hold deeper than the last,
And even though you might've lost yourself,
I can feel your heart still beating.

the sun will fall and we'll fear what we don't believe.
A call to arms to live in constant forlorn words.
Despite the tide closing in,
you don't see the ocean apart from the sky,
Say goodbye.

Rain
Skyler M Jan 2018
I fall to you,
Rain comes to me,
My body’s laying on the cold hard floor,
And I know deep inside that I’ve lost my plight,
I know you’re waiting for me, Lord,
But I don’t wanna do this anymore.

Fighting battles against who I should believe and who I wanna be,
I’m at war with my core,
I hope you understand that I’m lost as ever,
Now pour onto me to keep me pleading.

Selfish crimes are taking my vision,
I feel your breath in the air I breath but you’re gone from my dream and I’m struggling to believe,
I do believe that you understand what I mean,
Now leave me here to die nine times before I pick myself up and cry again.
Jan 2018 · 95
Denial
Skyler M Jan 2018
I'm struggling to understand, Lord,
As I stand in front of you,
Chest wide open for you to see,
Won't you wash me, free?
I can't feel you here by my side,
And I'm just a son who's scared,
could you give me some closure tonight?

I've denied myself to you,
I've denied my soul for you,
I've denied and I'm a sinner.

I've fallen in a pit so deep,
that I fear you cannot reach,
Cause I don't believe in you,
But I fall into your arms every night,
Hoping you're there to save me,
But I don't feel your breath on my skin.

I've denied myself to you,
I've denied my soul for you,
I've denied and I'm a sinner.

I'm a bad son, Father,
I've done bad things to you,
I'm not feeling the love you promised,
And it's scaring me to death,
I'm folding into a breathless form,
Drown me, Lord, in all my sins I bathe.

I've denied myself of you,
I've denied my soul for your love,
I've denied and I'm too proud for you.

The Fire In My Bathroom
Skyler M Jan 2018
The fires in my bathroom won't go out,
I blow and blow but they continue to grow,
My heart is inside the sink,
and my lungs are crawling towards the fire,
My wrist are pouring blood,
I can't escape the demons that chew at my ears,
I feel my stomach rotting away.

The fire continues to flow through the bathroom,
It devours my heart,
Flames my lungs,
Burns over my wrists,
Chases away the demons,
and stops the rotting in my stomach.

I realize now that the fire was never my enemy.

Mister Pills
Skyler M Jan 2018
Remind me Mister Pills,
of when I overdosed.
Remind me Mister Pills,
Of my hallucinations afterwards.
Remind me Mister Pills,
of my failing heart.
Remind me Mister Pills,
That you weren't there

Pills
Skyler M Jan 2018
The trees wave their arms as I desperately plead,
For something so much bigger than me,
I know it'll never come but I always try my best.

I'm numbed out from all those happy pills,
That're inside my system,
I can't feel anything other than my breath.

The sun shines through my window,
I see what I was meant to see and leave,
I know I was never the best person but I still try.

I'm numbed out from all those happy pills,
They flow through my systems,
I want to feel something other than this.

The rain falls from the burnt out sky,
Reminders that I'll never make it out alive,
I know my life is on the line.

I'm so numbed out,
The happy pills through my system,
I need to feel your breath.

Bow Your Head
Skyler M Jan 2018
I don't believe in God,
You don't believe in luck,
He won't believe in us,
People's lives are broken,

Bow your head in prayer,
They're holding the gun up against your head,
Please tell me, where will you go?

I don't believe in God,
You don't believe in me,
He won't believe in us,
People's hearts are broken,

Run with the sheep in men skin,
Wolves are catching up to finish what they started,
Please tell me, who will you be?

I don't believe in God,
You don't believe in them,
He won't believe in us,
People's homes are broken.

Pretty Lies
Skyler M Jan 2018
When my head is empty and there’s nowhere I can hide.
Look at what I’ve done to you.
I’m sorry about my mistakes,
Just know that I have exposed myself.

Tell me pretty lies about how you feel,
Maybe I’ll feel better another day

Tell me pretty lies about what you think,
Maybe I’ll stop puking another day

I know I’ve done something bad,
I know our lives are on the line,
And it’s all my fault but she won’t see the forest for the trees.

Tell me pretty lies and punch me in the face,
I’ll say I love you and wake another day.

Tell me pretty lies and feed me common slurs,
I’ll just leave my heart at the door for another time.

Could I?
Skyler M Jan 2018
I can see the stars,
Flying overhead,
There must be something that I can say,
To get myself to come to life and fall into the sky,
But the cement at my feet has held me there,together,
There’s nothing I can do,
But watch the stars become rockets as they fly overhead,
They like to breach my personality,
Cause I know I’m not right,
I already fight with myself every day of my week.

Could I make it?
Could I be a shapeshifter?
Could I fake it?
Could I be a shoplifter?
I don’t think so.

My deadened and black dreams like to come back to life and taunt me in my nightmares,
The sea seems so far as the I’m plagued with my fears,
Don’t doubt for a moment that I won’t make it there,
My life is just as empty as the next guy ahead,
Who’s made to the sea,
But he falls off the cliff,
I know my fate at last,
As I fall into the salty rocks below.

Could I make it?
Could I be a shapeshifter?
Could I fake it?
Could I be a shoplifter?
I don’t think so.

Could I make it?
Could I be a demon?
Could I fake it?
Could I be a sermon?
I don’t think so.
I know that so.
I don’t think so.
I know that so.

Lovesick
Skyler M Jan 2018
I thought I’d be okay,
I thought it was gone,
The feeling in the pit of my stomach raged on,
I want to puke my guts out because of you,
But not because I hate you,
But because I love you.

Is this lovesickness? I can’t have you, that’s okay.
But maybe you hate me and that’s what’s getting to my head.
I want you to know that I only want the best for you,
I’m just losing my mind down the toilet.

Spending hours on end thinking about your response,
I know I’m selfish and pathetic as hell,
The truth is killing my bones,
But I don’t expect anything back because I’m perfectly content as it is, as we are.

Is this lovesickness? I can’t have you, that’s okay.
But maybe you hate me and that’s what’s getting to my head.
I want you to know that I only want the best for you,
I’m just losing my mind down the toilet.

The Kids Cried
Skyler M Jan 2018
And all the kids cried out,
**** us now.
Put the gun to our heads,
**** this game they play.
I’m not meant to be alive.

Take that thought and splatter it across the canvass, shoot the paper with your make believe gun. Ink the paper with your suicide heaven, you’ve got something worth living for and it’s sitting inside your room. It’s you.

And all the kids called out,
Somebody save me,
I’m so worthless,
I need answers,
**** this God above,
I’m not meant to be alive.

Tell your demons that the music in your ears will overpower their beliefs, now dance to the sound of your beating heart, celebrate that sound. Don’t ever let it go.

And all the kids cried out,
**** us now.
Put the gun to our heads,
**** this game they play.
I’m not meant to be alive

The Astronaut
Skyler M Jan 2018
Swirling galaxies and childhood realities,
Falling stars and midnight scars,
Rising dawn and futures redrawn,
Rain comes and teenage bums.

Rockets failing and children wailing,
Planets surround and youth uncrowned,
Moonlight noses and he overdoses,
Capsizing comets and killer comments.

meteor upcoming and skyscrapers crumbling,
Warm sunshine and she's so benign,
Heaven's heirs and unanswered prayers,
Gas emission and atomic demolition.

Terrified and still, he's alive.
Jan 2018 · 71
The Car and the Body
Skyler M Jan 2018
Been driving for hours,
My hands off the wheel,
Staring at the meteor showers,
The time ticks slowly as I reveal how I feel.

Then I see the night has arrived,
So I’ll grab my map and turn on the lights,
The road begins it’s journey as it suddenly contrived,
Into fear and it just so happens that it might,
Watch me slowly be deprived.

The car slows down at the cliff,
And I’ll look out over the edge,
I see my porcelain body, stiff,
I realize that it had jumped itself off of the ledge.

The car then begins to drive towards the trees,
I find myself in the backseat,
Begging for forgiveness, please,
I know that I alone cannot defeat,
The devil sitting in the front seat.

Aiming for the hole in the ground,
The car begins to swerve,
In the backseat I notice that I am bound,
The ropes are hitting a nerve.

I’m sad because I know at last,
My time has come fade away,
All my time has become a past,
I knew all my edges had fray.

So driving once again,
I drove off of the cliff,
Knowing that I had just committed a sin.

The Queen and the Jester
Skyler M Jan 2018
I've been denying,
but the fears are multiplying.
Picking at my brain,
and maiming my interests.
all I can think about is the way you smile,
and the way you talk to me.
I fee like a fool for falling into your soul,
cause I'd never be good enough for you.

You're the queen and I'm the jester.
You're no saint but you have me caught in your halo,
So won't you let me into your heart.

The feeling I've held onto,
but locked away inside my heart.
Tearing me up cause I know,
How you really feel about me.
This hope that I hold onto,
Stored inside my lungs so I won't scream.
Jan 2018 · 176
Anywhere But Here
Skyler M Jan 2018
I woke up early today,
Altered my face to make believe,
That I'm totally okay.

The day flies by,
I'm doing fine,
Until night arrives,
My fears are discovered.

So I fall through the bed,
Melting into doubt and love,
Pretending I'm anywhere but here.

Diseased

Infected with a virus no one can cure,

Friend
Skyler M Jan 2018
There's the smile on your face,
It keeps me here on this earth,
Don't underestimate your life,
When it keeps me alive.

I think I know where I'd be,
Without you in my life,
I think I know who I'd be,
Without you keeping me here.

You ask yourself all these questions,
About the skin you're in,
friend, look at me,
don't you dare,
Take your life away from me.

I think I know where I'd be,
Without you in my life,
I think I know who I'd be,
Without you keeping me here.

Turn Away
Skyler M Jan 2018
Good men don't fall so hard, so fast,
But I can't resist so guess I'm a fool,
I've done bad things to myself,
I don't think you'd care to deal with me,
My bones are weak and afraid,
Cause I know if I say a word.

You'll turn away,
Find another place,
To build your home,
I'll be alone.

Look what I've done to my voice,
It's broken beyond repair,
The only thing that speaks now,
Is my heart,
So please,
Understand what I mean,
When I say.

You'll turn away,
Find another place,
To build your home,
I'll be alone.

Hear what I've done to the angel on my shoulder,
His wings are broken and tattered,
The only thing I hear,
Is the demon speaking clearly,
I know instantly that I've lost my heart,
To you.

You'll turn away,
Find another place,
To build your home,
And I'll be alone.

How It Is
Skyler M Jan 2018
The skyscrapers taunt me,
while I desperately plead,

Hoping there's something waiting for me,
At the end of the world, now see,

In my palm is a handful of sand,
I gotta make use to blow out the fuse.

The gun's on the top of the canopies,
I'm gonna have to find the right tree,

To plant myself under and see until dawn,
So that I can sing for the right leaves,

Then I'll get on my knees until night,
when the sky opens up and I do believe.
Jan 2018 · 86
Unsure
Skyler M Jan 2018
I can’t believe all my intentions,
Have been exposed by my head,
The realization of how I really feel,
Now I feel my feet slipping,
The carpet is being pulled out from under.

I need your hand again,
I need your breath again,
I need you to calm me down.

Falling out into the raindrops,
They fall from your eyes above,
My hands are bloodied from trying to repair myself,
Then I know I've crashed and burned.

I need your hand again,
I need your breath again,
I need you to calm me down.

The wreckage holds my heart,
That was rained on by you,
I'm holding back what my heart wants to say,
But I know the answer so I lay down.

I need your hand again,
I need your breath again,
I need you to calm me down.

I've laid down in a bed of thorns,
It's piercing my neck and veins,
I'm bleeding out onto you,
I hope you don't see me like this.

I need your hand again,
I need your breath again,
I need you to calm me down.

I know the answer,
The way you speak to me,
I know your thoughts,
Because you've spoken from the inside, out,
And It's tearing me apart.

I need your hand again,
I need your breath again,
I need you to calm me down.
Jan 2018 · 85
Falling
Skyler M Jan 2018
I wish I could tell you,
That I’ve been tripping on my own feet,
I’ve been falling into a hole,
Of my own making.

The emotions that've drowned me,
Makes me want to tell you,
But I can’t cause you’re too far,
You’re just so far from where I wish you’d be.

I wish I could scream,
Your name and stop playing this game,
I’m tired of falling over your soul,
So won’t you understand,
What I mean?

The Water In My Palm
Skyler M Jan 2018
There's water in my palm,
It's reassuring and keeps me warm,
Even so,
I find myself falling,
Falling into a hole,
I had promised myself long ago,
not to get myself trapped into.

The water tempts me forward to see the rest of the sea,
But I can't take my eyes off of the water in my palm,
Why won't it hurt me?
I'm just as greedy as the rest,
I need the water in my hand,
To feel whole again,
The water has my back and I have it's.

Then again the sand, pulls it back again,
So maybe I can see the ocean from the water,
But my eyes are drawn back,
To the water in my palm and I sigh,
Giving up on regretting the feeling,
It's only hurting the water in my palm.

There's water in my palm,
It's keeping me safe and sound,
Even so,
I find myself falling into it's puddle,
Falling into a hole,
I had promised myself long ago,
not to get myself trapped into.

Let Me Sleep
Skyler M Jan 2018
I hope it is sufficient that the reason for my purpose is unknown,
I will try my own **** hardest to prevent my legs from sinking,
The forest surrounding me keeps caving into reckless abandon,
I will finally surrender so I'm back on the ground,
Rocking back and forth to try and plead,  "mercy me!"
Cause simply living feels like a force to reckoned with,
and I just want to get some sleep so that I can face the day,

Won't you let me sleep tonight?
Won't you let me sleep tonight?
Won't you?
Won't you?
Won't you let me sleep tonight?

Despite the ***** crimes closing in on me,
I absolutely cannot see the forest for the trees,
I understand what I need to be another lamb,
but I've been asking for help since the day I thought, "Why?"
I searched and found my soul inside the merciless trees,
Noticed that every hole that I found was deeper than the last,
Despite the fact that I know I've lost myself,
The sun will rise and I'll fear what I don't believe again.

Won't you let me sleep tonight?
Won't you let me sleep tonight?
Won't you?
Won't you?
Won't you let me sleep tonight?

I've been dragging myself around by the hair of my nape,
Searching for my dreams or the goal that I can reach,
Brought back from death for I was fearing life itself,
and for the timeless time that I was there,
I am back again to properly surrender my underestimated power,
Instead I'm slipping down the drain.

Won't you let me sleep tonight?
Won't you let me sleep tonight?
Won't you?
Won't you?
Won't you let me sleep tonight?

The Passenger
Skyler M Jan 2018
I need everyone to know,
That I cannot survive this,
Life.
The way I bid my life,
On your beating pulse,
Tears me up inside.
Then some passenger gets inside my car,
But I can't see the face they made,
So I crack open the window,
Letting my soul get swept away.

Scream,
I need,
Somebody to save me.
But the car drives away,
The passenger stole my car.
I'm left in the rain,
My soul trapped in the wind.
I sink to the ground,
My frame continues to fight,
But my mind has given up.

But the shock from the flock,
Flies into my windshield,
So I'm stuck inside my hands,
My pen is melting away.
I'm so afraid.
Of what you really meant to say.

Scream,
I need,
Somebody to save me.
But the car drives away,
The passenger stole my car.
I'm left in the rain,
My soul trapped in the wind.
I sink to the ground,
My frame continues to fight,
But my mind has given up.

Every Night
Skyler M Jan 2018
I fight for my life,
Every night.
I'll never tell my friends,
Of what I did last night.
The creatures on my crumbling frame,
Tell me that I made it again.

But I don't know whether,
to smile or cry.
Cause the battle rages on,
Every night.
I'm parting my skin,
To see what I can find.
Maybe I will see,
An ounce of light.

I fight for my life,
Every night.
The echos of my friends,
Who've told me they were there for me.
I'm losing my vision,
As of today.
The sun rose but my heart,
Doesn't want to beat.

My intention,
has been shackled.
And the demons,
They like to scream.
That I am better off dead,
Every night.
So I take my time,
Send a prayer to someone I don't believe in.
So I take my time,
Process my suicidal thoughts.
So I take my time,
To fall asleep.

Doctor
Skyler M Jan 2018
There's this problem with my head,
Doctor, where's the medicine?
What's the cure?
Doctor, I need your honest word,
Am I going to die?
What's the cure?
Doctor, my head won't shut up,
It's telling me awful things,
Where's the cure?
Doctor, won't you fix the problem in my heart?
It doesn't feel like you care about me,
What's the cure?
Doctor, you're lying about my disease,
I'm dying aren't I,
What's the cure?
Doctor, help me,
Doctor, save me,
Doctor, where did you go?

Just One Question
Skyler M Jan 2018
The question I have for tonight,
Is a simple one at that,
It's aimed for my head,
And the thoughts locked inside,
I picked the words carefully,
Like threading through a needle,
They are quiet,
Barely heard,
"Will I be alive tomorrow?"

Cause I battle every night,
Knowing that I just might not,
Make it through the inspection,
I do on my brain,
It repeats until I don't have a conscious left,
I can't breath.
Help me.

The battle between one side and another,
The demons and the angels,
Every night it gets darker,
Until my hand isn't being controlled by me,
It reaches for things I never want to see,
It skins things that I had hoped to save.
It repeats until I don't have a conscious left,
I can't breath,
Help me.

One more time,
I inspect my brain,
Write the words over and over,
Think of something better to say,
But there's nothing so I put it simply,
"Will I be alive tomorrow?"

Fake Your Way
Skyler M Jan 2018
Failing into viscous lies,
I'm learning all your tricks,
All the secrets that you hide.

I'm not taking you for granted,
I know that you like to lie,
That you know everything.

You're the angel to my demons,
The believer in my dreams,
The deceiver that hides beneath my sheets,
Fake your way out.

I won't take anymore excuses,
I've seen what you have done,
The destruction you have caused.

I'm not taking you for granted,
I know that you like to lie,
That you know who I am.

You're the angel to my demons,
The believer in my dreams,
The deceiver that hides beneath my sheets,
Fake your way out.

Deserted
Skyler M Jan 2018
You don't believe me,
When I say,
That I am dangerous to myself,
I call out for you,
But you've turned away.

At a time like this,
My conscious is,
A desert,
No emotions left,
I'm on my way,
To the edge of the sea.

Maybe I can prosper,
Set me free,
You will find out,
Where my heart lies,
Before I curl up and die.

There's no excuse,
For my behavior,
But I know,
There's nothing like pain,
Especially when it grows,
Into my head.

Lay me down to rest,
My fears begin to rise,
As my toes begin to numb,
To the reign,
Of a tormented king.

Finding bodies,
As I walk my cobblestone bridge,
I can't see my own hand,
In front of me,
A fog so thick it chokes,
My dreams.

Control
Skyler M Jan 2018
Something takes ahold,
So I don't lose control,
The highway just winds me down,
I'm rushing for a breath,
As it follows me again,
Up into the underbrush,
I feel my legs give in,
to the monster on my skin.
Oh god.
It hurts.
The fingers on my chest,
Scratching at my flesh.

What Is this,
Feeling,
Of control,
I want to lose myself again.

It climbs into it's disguise,
My skin.
Bloodied and cold, I,
Follow the morning star until I can't anymore,
This isn't who I am and I would like to scream,
but he took my teeth,
"I'll never be free." says my mentality.
The day drags on,
I can feel my skin as it tightens around the beast,
My hands are digging for purpose and a hold.

What is this,
Feeling,
Of Control,
I want to lose myself again.

Final Hours
Skyler M Jan 2018
There's something creeping in the dark
Lurking in the darkest corners of my head
I know what it seeks, what it wants from me
And it's going down on my carcass tonight.

I have nothing to my name
So no matter what I say
I'll just be a pile of bones the next day
Nobody cares for the broken boy
I'm an attention seeking *****
I better find my way home before he dines on me.

The violence in the air
Keeping my brain ******* on
Warns me of something big
So I run the way I did when I was born.

I have nothing to my name
So no matter what I say
I'll just be a pile of bones the next day
Nobody cares for the broken boy
I'm an attention seeking *****
I better find my way home before he dines on me.

Never
Skyler M Jan 2018
I know I've never said hello,
I know I've never greeted you,
The way they wanted me to,
I hope you understand,
All the lies and deceit that I've felt in my bones,
Draws me back.

But I hope you understand,
That I need to be saved,
I need your embrace,
When I can't see your light,
What do you expect?

I know I've never prayed to you,
I know I've never served your grace,
the way they wanted me to,
I hope you won't cast me down,
All the sins and anger that I have seen,
Draws me back.

Give me something to see, to touch.
Otherwise, I'll be on my way, alone.
I care for what you say,
But I,
Can't see your mind.

Other Side of the Wall
Skyler M Dec 2017
I hear my world run cold,
as everything falls out of reach,
Then I breath my last retort,
My fate now closer than yesterday

Every time I throw the spear,
It harpoons into a brick wall,
Where I can't punch to continue though,
So I cradle my gun,
Hoping it saves me.

The wraith around my neck,
Tugs at the veins,
I'll crack open my face,
To see things the way they want me to,
But I can't and I'm forced back into the water,
Ashamed of who I am.

Every time I toss the rock,
It lodges into the brick wall,
Where I can't peek through to the other side,
So I cradle my scars,
Hoping I make it another day.

Music
Skyler M Dec 2017
I want to make,
Make the music I wanted to,
From the very time they told me,
"You'll never make it."
I lost it all.
Breathing hopelessness

Hold
Skyler M Dec 2017
Hold.
Hold me tight.
This isn't about love.
It's about surviving.
I hope you know.
That I won't survive.
Anything I do.
All that I say.
Will be wasted.
With the knives on my skin.
Hold.
Hold me tight.
Before I say goodbye.
So I might hate you.
At least you held me.
In my final hour.
Hold.
Hold me tight.
So I can deny.
The last night.
You gave me back.
The strength I thought I lost.
Friend.

Here's To
Skyler M Dec 2017
Here's to my home,
my family,
my serenade,
my life,
my death,
my flushed away knives.
Here's to my brain,
It's oddities,
It's familiarity,
It's insecurities,
It's life,
It's death,
my deadly undertones.

Scream
Skyler M Dec 2017
I'm fighting,
Fighting for something,
Underneath a black moon,
Uneventful and lost.
I scream.
For a name, a face to hold myself by.
But my arms resist,
falling to the floor.
Unsuccessful scars,
reminders of what I never wanted to do, to be.
I fight for something,
something I can stand upon,
and say, "I don't care if you don't show yourself to me."
I scream.
Inside my head,
I'm dead, ripping myself apart.
My heart only beats for the dreams that I made.
I scream,
"**** you."
"**** me."
"**** life."

Astray but Alive
Skyler M Dec 2017
leading me astray,
from the path that I had made,
Sinking further with every breath,
I can feel my death.

I write these words with nowhere to go,
Writing for not just the show,
but the hope to get out alive,
the hope that maybe I can thrive.

Urge
Skyler M Dec 2017
Eating away,
An urge,
Re-surge my forge,
Enemies ensure,
That I stay inside the tomb I dug.

Fighting away,
An urge,
Faltering words,
Vitally addicted,
To the blades in the wind.

Wiping away,
An urge,
Victims merge,
Inside my head,
And I'm gone.

1:56
Skyler M Dec 2017
It's almost 2 and I'm looping my thoughts,
Repeated, Reiterated, Reoccurred, Dilated.
Sunken through air and ethereal steel,
I'm pleading for a meal,
To satiate my hunger,
For my eternal grave.

It's 2:00 and I'm finding no answers,
Within my brain,
Scanned, Manned, Retrospectively planned.
And I can't see myself reaping the weak,
yet I imagine myself holding a gun up to my head.
I'm pleading for His touch,
As an unbeliever, heretic, a deceiver,
Strike me down, God, now.
Send me down to my eternal slumber.

It's 3:00 and I'm back at this again,
Racking my brain,
My fretting, betting, setting off,
bomb-like migraines,
Reheat it again and I can see through the forestry greens,
I'm dead, I was already from the start.
So what's the point of lifting my head and making a sound?
I'm on trial as it stands,
Strike me down, God, now.
Send me down to my eternal grave.

Friend
Skyler M Dec 2017
I saw your face the other day,
Fighting the darkness,
Capturing more light.
I talked to you, listened to you breakdown,
Myself in shock, I've never seen you falling down,
So, I'll hold you tight tonight.

Suddenly the night fades away,
You're no longer in my grasp,
You've faded away into the misty air,
My light, my only friend.
Gone.

Scouring my only mind,
For your voice, for your hands.
But I cannot reach the other side,
As I cannot see your flickering torch.
No more.

Suddenly the night fades away,
You're no longer in my grasp,
You've faded away into the misty air,
My light, my only friend.
Gone.

So I hold you in my memory,
Taking it back and rewinding all the sounds,
That you made when you weren't done.
I take that and place it in a friend,
Who I wanna save once again.

Suddenly the night fades away,
You're no longer in my grasp,
You've faded away into the misty air,
My light, my only friend.
Gone.

Future
Skyler M Dec 2017
Brimming with fear,
The future is near,
Only so little time,
Until I just might meet my demise.

I sold my clone,
To make myself a humble abode,
In the cobwebs and lies.
Sing me to sleep,
So maybe I can forget tomorrow.

The fact that time went by so fast,
Gives me the chills,
Cause I don't know if I'll be keeping this up.
Everything seems so slow,
Going with no flow.

Apathy
Skyler M Dec 2017
Fields of apathy,
In which I'm living in.
A grass of faded red,
My soles walk onto.

Everything feels so fake,
My eyes get bored of this.
Reaching for the counterfeit,
Sitting across the table from me.

Threatening my seclusion,
he doesn't move his mouth.
His eyes are painted red,
A symbol of my reimagination.

It rushes onto,
Onto the carved door.
On the floor.
In front of the animals,
That ravaged my,
own wrists.

**** it,
Rock it back and forth,
Maybe I'll get out of this earth.
**** it,
Rock myself back and forth,
on the floor again.

I can't see myself in the mirror,
I'm drowning in conclusions.
I have made, for myself,
An unconscious lie.

Pleading
Skyler M Dec 2017
I'm on my knees once again,
Not to disrupt you,
Not you insult you,
But to honestly plead,
Could you please save me?

Strip me of my pride,
My disbelief.
Help me carry on through blades,
Far away from self-deprecation.
I implore,
I need your breath to keep me going furthermore.

I'm bleeding from the scars now,
Hiding from the sun,
Turning towards the moon,
the east,
the west.

I don't know anymore,
But I need your hands in begging harmony,
next to mine.
Don't leave me alone,
I crave your touch,
As I grow weak and unanswered.

I sit up,
to disrupt,
my constant state of mind,
Beseech your bleeding wings,
Save me.

Guns
Skyler M Dec 2017
Heed life's call,
It calls for your beating heart,
That's all,
**** your mind,
**** your guns.

You use your guns to blow out,
Creativity and imagination,
Dare to dream,
and dare to scream.

It belongs inside the furnace,
Now burn it,
The black revolver,
It sits by your bedside.

Terrifying as it may be,
There's a pretender to replace your gun,
Beneath sheets you plead,
Your life on the line,
because your mind won't be silenced.

You use your guns to blow out,
Creativity and imagination,
Dare to dream,
and dare to scream.

Misty Lakes
Skyler M Dec 2017
A misty lake,
The cold air,
And my cold feet,
Gentle eyes defeat all the demons,
That shadow my lids.

They walk through the lake,
I can't see nor reach them,
But I can feel their breath on my skin,
Ripping and tearing.

I can see the other side,
The green trees,
peacefully standing,
Almost tauntingly.

I can feel my knees hit the dock,
The rusty nails digging into my flesh,
As the tide washes over my burdened back,
I slip away into the waves.

A still heart,
Polluted with suicide,
Darkened from all the infected scars,
I'll be ****** if I say anything.

Perhaps it'll help if I close my mouth,
Don't speak my mind,
Otherwise it'll burn my lungs,
They don't like it when I speak.

The misty lake,
Tugs at my rusted knees,
But the pain from the nails,
Hold me there.
