Blessed be
Altigani Sep 2019
Blessed be the nights,
the calm they imbue,
blessed be the sun's light,
ribboned across the sky's blue,

Blessed is the day,
A smile caresses the life in me,
blessed is the day,
love dances carefree

Flowering in my heart
Altigani Feb 2019
Wishes for your glee,
flower in my heart,
I've picked a few for you to see,
that your joy from mine I can't set apart

Depression
Altigani Feb 2019
Oh my dear,
I've known you,
You're my greatest fear,
To what my heart turns blue,
To what my eyes bring a tear,

Oh my dear,
I plead to you,
For just a sliver of the life I knew,
For a breath not too heavy,
For a few serene nights, not too many,

Oh my dear,
You've made my ground tumble,
And my soul crumble,
Sitting on my chest,
Like a bird on its nest,
Perching on the carcass you've left behind,
For that, it is how I've become defined,

Oh my dear,
I pray for your demise,
Echoing from my heart to the great skies

Whispers wreak havoc
Altigani Feb 2019
A heart's whisper,
Is a mind's cluster,
A drop of yearning,
Is a shade of greaving,
Rippling through the fabric of emotion

Tell me
Altigani Feb 2019
I'm waiting to hear,
All the reasons you weren't there,
I wonder what could it be, from someone
I held so dear,
So tell me, I'm eager to hear how much you care,

I'm sure you were busy,
And didn't have a moment to gasp for air,
I'm sure you were tired and dizzy,
And didn't have a moment to spare,

So tell me,
How I am just a great strain,
That's difficult to speak with or say hey,
tell me again,
How you're sorry, and about that long day,
Tell me,
I am eager to hear, so fire away

Lull me to life
Altigani Feb 2019
Say something cathartic,
Because crying was not,
Sing me warmth, because I am the arctic,
I wish I wasn't, but this is the life I got,

Help me build a smile,
As my face is stubborn and persistent,
It'll be difficult, it'll take a while,
Make it gentle and never distant,

Help me sketch my youth,
Stand by me, and watch it all unfold,
As the sketches bind to reality and become the truth,
But it all seems like distant reality, and my breath
I'm unable to hold

— The End —
