Take me to a place
Even the roads cannot follow
unnamed Dec 2019
Weary eyes gaze out at sea
And worn hands drum
On weathered wood

A cigarette hanging
Loosely between his lips
As sea salt

Invaded his senses
And he surrendered
Himself to the sea

They told me
They were sorry
For my loss

But you’re
Not lost
You’re gone

No matter
Where I
Travel

To city’s
To towns
To countries

I will
Never
Find you
unnamed Jul 2019
Had I stopped you
From leaving that day
You'd still be here
And I'd have another
Chance to fix us
Make us right again

We don't all get second chances
Let's make the first one count
unnamed Nov 2019
Kisses were stolen among the
Shelves of the  library

The spines of books the only witnesses
to clumsy yet ardent mouths

They watched, standing as silent sentinels
As we fell deeper into the web of each other

unnamed Jul 2019
The pressure
Is building up
Inside this
Skin container
And it's going
To blow
unnamed Jul 2019
You grabbed ahold of my hand.
Fingers clasping around mine.
Pointing towards the unwavering sunset.
And ****** me off my feet.
Unexpectedly.
Breath hitching
As you swung me.
Off the cliff.
In one fluid motion.
And.
I.
Fell.

It was a long way down.
I guess I could've done something.
Something to live.
Anything really.
But what really.
Was there to live for.
When the one I love.
Wished for me to die?
What purpose was I left.
To cast upon this barren world.
Than to do what she wished?

I let the raging waters engulf me.
It was almost comforting, really.
And as soon as my skin.
Hit the icy liquid.
The life left from me.
And.
I.
Faded.
Into.
Oblivion.
Feeling.

I suppose that
If this cold shell
Of a person
Could still feel

I'd feel hurt
And sad
Maybe angry?
And confused

I guess it's
A good thing
I stopped feeling
Long ago

Why do I carry an umbrella
When I need
A storm shelter
To protect
Me
From
You

Why has ******
Become a positive word
Since I met you?
unnamed Nov 2019
It was as if I had been ******
Into the depths of the ocean
Not knowing which way
Was up or down
As both my body and mind
Twisted and tumbled
And as darkness crept
Into the edge of my vision
I did the only thing
One could do in
A situation such as mine

"Why do you stay by the side of a sinner?"
"Because I feel your pain and you understand mine."
unnamed Jul 2019
I thought sleeping all day
Would stop me from thinking
Yet it couldn't
Keep the nightmares away
