Same...
Andrew McElroy Apr 2020
I told ambitious lies
&
Dreams of stories from past lives

Breathed out months ago
In the moths wing down below

From here to eternity

All will be remedied in remembrance

If I could just remember
how it went again
things would be different and
I could go back to the way things were and
then it may be quite possible to
breathe again, breathe again; maybe quite possible to breathe again, breathe again

I’ve been living in sin and I can’t quite keep up with what I’ve been living in
All this momentum is keeping me thin
Drinking again - still drunk and I’m not giving a **** about you or us

Watch me spin

Out of control
Out of control

Into your arms
Of sweet release and emptiness
The emptiness is eating my skin
Eating away at my better half

Let me loose so I can begin to sin again

Laughter In Silence
Andrew McElroy Mar 2012
Oh my heart...
How it is singing
I feel the sun with all new skin
I see the sun with brand new eyes
I laugh
This is the greatest thing in my life
I found it again
This time its for good, I know
The night will soon be with us
And everything will fall as it should.

What a strange window
The candle burnt a black spot on the inside

Pain can describe a certain taste
As I sit here alone staring through
haze and wool fibers caught in the fog
A complete mystery among the cool wind

A fond friend that has gone again
Is there a definite closure of the door
Or am I just feeling this way
Begging for a little more

Since the last time it was cold
I’ve changed
I’ve never seemed to stay the same

I’ve been a gleam in your eye
A shudder down my spine
Goosebumps down my arms
Her slight sight directly into mine

Send it back

Tattoos meet and greet
Skin on skin
Again and again

— The End —
