I remember when we used to say "I love you"
  Nov 2015 Swords and Roses
Sin
Don't wait to see me drown in my own tears
Kissing the hands of my own fears, outstreached and waiting for me to fall

Come to me
Can you hear my call

How don't you see me begging
How don't you see me in my hour of need

The light it fades and in shadows we play
Like two little soldiers of doom
You were gonna be my life
The one who died inside to save this wretched child

But now

I kneel in dirt so dry wiping first from my eyes
And listening to the song of yesterday
Play in my mind

Don't leave me now
Don't turn around and walk away
Remember how it was
And now it's just all gone

A zip, a click and your little world is illuminated.

I am your quiet everyday while you are my everything.
Swords and Roses Nov 2015
Our chance meetings, so carefully scripted in my head beforehand.

"See you later," I whisper unthinkingly as his breathing stops.

I don't want to live in this world anymore
Someone send me to the ISS
Let me float through the void
Looking down at everything I once called life

I don't want to live in this world anymore
Someone send me to Mars
Let me join the rovers
Looking out over a solitary landscape

I don't want to live in this world anymore
Someone give me a spaceship
Let me explore the galaxy
Looking for somewhere new to start

I don't want to live in this world anymore
Someone send me to a world
Let me discover new species
Looking for that elusive sentience

I don't want to live in this world anymore
Someone give me to an alien
Let me study them and their ways
Looking over their creations

I don't want to live in this world anymore
Someone help me escape
Let me breathe in fantasy
Looking for something more than who I am
