imagine a note
followed by two,
a steady melody
latching me to you

as it progresses,
the mystery grows
i never thought
id be compared to a rose

a few chords pass
it's hard to discern
where longing ends
and into loving it turns

there's hope in this song
echoing til heaven's descent
that empty place in my heart
is no longer for rent
a g Mar 2015
the puzzle seems scattered
my picture is lost
id resigned to being partial
then my path you crossed

the pieces are coming together
my fragments fit
id been broken for so long
theres light in this pit

i look up and i see
you too are half, broken
i feel it, i know it, but
those words stay unspoken

it may be long in the distance
or perhaps only next week
when will this puzzle
finally be complete?

My mind is polluted
My thoughts, convoluted
Overwhelmed by your desires.
If you really wanna burn your bridges
Then you're gonna have to start some fires.

I've got plenty of room
For many more scars
That I may or may not regret,
But I lack space
For memories
And consequently, forget.

If clocks decide to leave minutes behind
And begin counting sins,
Would the hands move any slower?
Would you find heaven within?

If I was a mountain

That soared towards the sky,

With craggy snow caps

And stormy grey eyes-



Then you'd be the clouds

That swaddled my peak,

That silenced my thunder

When I tried to speak.



If I was the earth

The desert, in fact:

With arid dry soil

And mud, baked and cracked-



You'd be the rain

The downpour that soothed;

The balm to my bruises,

Relief to my wounds.



If I was the Moon

In the indigo night,

With stars as my blanket

And silver; my light-



Well you'd be the Sun

Just always behind

That lent me your glow

And caused me to shine.

screaming screaming
all this time
we were screaming
deep under the pile
of **** they expect from us
this mound of emptiness
only pushes us further into the ground
and they wonder why there are
so many teens
depressed
doing drugs and
ending their life

they cant understand us
they wont take the time
they panic
instead of addressing
this problem they find
their solution is what they know
the comfort of the *****  
piling more tasks
upon the rotting carcass
of our mentality we are losing
this war

what do you do
when you toss your heart
into unexpecting hands
it falls short of their fingers

what do you do
when they never see it fly
crowds pressing all sides
your heart falls by their feet

what do you do
when they never look down
shoes shuffle around
your pumping heart

what do you do
when your heart tumbles
through the masses
it cannot be found

what do you do
when you've lost your heart
you ache alone
it pumps in an alley
