This axe was made from
Oak and
Anger.
Forged in the fires that
Shaped my cardiac
Armour.

I'll never surrender to a
Woman
Who sees love as war
Ever again.
It's been a long,
Lonely time.

But I've seen peace.
Still sacrifice to the gods,
Praying for brief, cold
Winters; for all other
Seasons to be neither.
They all have room for a

Woman between them,
But my hatred for ego
Is a burning beacon of warning
Even I myself shun.
I just want the silence.
That deep, deep silence,

Whose last word will never be:  
"Me,"
But:
"... ... ..."
That, I can love.

This axe was made from
Oak and
Anger.
It beats paper; scissors; stone.
Sees me armed. And still
Alone.

Sometimes I wonder

if I even survived
my childhood.

Maybe some part of me
is sleeping
up on the hill.

One of those
Nightmares
That I couldn't escape
Carried me off
In its jaws

and so maybe
I am planted.
Looking down
At all the people
I can't remember.

I hope that I am ashes.
I never wanted a stone.

We are only a few words away
But you won't say

You are so beautiful
I keep on making mistakes

You are living in the mirror
I can’t seem to chase

Chase your face
Chase your shade

It’s ok

Eventually, everything fades

Your smiles, veiled
My tear, caked

What’s ridiculous?

Nothing ends
We are still riding on this carousel over and over
We call it **fate
I live rationally so I can appreciate the enchantment of the captivating tragedy, fulfil my obsession for the broken beauty.

i always wondered what it is you’d say to me after
all these years,
what kind of
explanation you’d give me after all these
tears.
we both knew when we met we’d inevitably go our separate ways,
but never like this-

and now,
you’re sat in front of me still as an idol.
who knew
one day you’d be my rival.
I once saw love and serenity when I stared into your eyes,
and now,
i see all the hate and chaos that overflowed your ugly lies.
i should’ve known better, and now your words are what have the noose around my neck tied-

i should’ve known better.
if I could un-write every word I’d ever had my ink laid, I’d do it.
just to take back every letter.
you used to make my heart flutter.
my thoughts slurred, and my speech stutter.
but now I’d rather choke on my words and make you watch me shudder.
face the face you destroyed,
Listen to the heart that beats no more,
and stare at the ears that hear no love.
you broke a human that was as strong as steel.
i want you to,
view the life you’ve been hiding from.
listen to the cries of the inner child you handed ***.

you broke a human that was as strong as steel,

and now

one thing he’ll never do again,

is feel.
