Dorothy Parker
There's many and many, and not so far,
  Is willing to dry my tears away;
There's many to tell me what you are,
  And never a lie to all they say.

It's little the good to hide my head,
  It's never the use to bar my door;
There's many as counts the tears I shed,
  There's mourning hearts for my heart is

There's honester eyes than your blue eyes,
  There's better a mile than such as you.
But when did I say that I was wise,
  And when did I hope that you were true?
Ashton Sky Dec 2015
I played along with your games
While you dragged me down that beaten path
Of monsters and lies
Camouflaging my eye

I was aware of your ways
Of all of your strays
Your smoke and your haze
Thought you had me in a daze

Come to play puppeteer
Pinocheo's here
But I knew all along
Everything was wrong

And yet here I stay
Never to stray
As we keep our love on life support
Is it really love? Or just a last resort.
Ashton Sky Dec 2015
It is as though I am standing
In a crowded room
Hollering "MERCY"
From the peak of my lungs
Hands trembling
Melting onto the floor
And not a sound to acknowledge me
Not my screams
Not my cries
No eye contact can be caught
I am deceasing
Dramatically and loudly
Surrounded by everyone
Surrounded by no one
Ashton Sky Nov 2015
Damage and destruction
Have put us in dispair
Barely anything left
But can we still love what is there?

We've dismantled our establishment
We've destroyed what we built
Can we scramble to recover
Can we salvage and rebuild?

Look at each other
Oh, see what we have done
We're struggling to find
Reasons not to leave it behind

Something so strong
Love in its purest bond
Trying to do everything it can
To keep these two people hand in hand

There is no outcome from giving up
There is no reward for stopping
There is no overcoming
If we just stop loving.
Ashton Sky Oct 2015
What a day for rain
The drop camouflage my tears
Dark grey skies to match my eyes

Cold breeze coming through
To console my worries
I'm not alone and it reminds me

Every drop of water
Represents my love
Diminished as it hits the ground

Clenching all my fears
Thoughts and worries sink
And I think
What a day for rain

Why does it still hurt?
