I can picture that one day
we will be together
and we will be happy
and so in love
walking along the coastline
hand in hand
laughing, touching
and we will stay out until the sun set
praying that the day will never end
because you can't imagine the possibility
of never having another day
without them.

Yeah, I hope for that one day.

I know it's going to be awhile
for this feeling to subside
because for the longest time
you were the only one
that had my heart
and kept it safe.
You were the only one.
I thought I'd only have
these eyes for you.
But that isn't true.
I have faith that one day it won't be you anymore.

I can still taste the
blackened ash on my burnt lips
left by three coarse words.

These days have got me so low
but the nights tend to make me worse
I no longer leave my four-cornered room
or the bed sheets that cover my worn and tired face
that have cried all of the tears that my eyes can produce
and these bed sheets no longer warm me at night,
my room no longer keeps me safe and sound,
the nights grow so much darker than before,
and the days just aren't long enough.
my poems are getting ******* and repetitive.

I wish you were there
to fight the bad dreams
off for me, but really
you can't help but
help the demons
choke and squeeze my lungs
to release the air that
I need to breath and you
couldn't have cared less.

One night I watched a girl
as she immersed herself into the sea
with tears streaming down her face
but there was no telling any difference
between the salty waves and
the droplets that left her screaming eyes.
And I didn't know how to help her
or why she cursed the night sky
as if it brought her pain to see darkness.
But all the while, or really not until just before
did I realize this girl was me
as she sank to the ocean floor.
