As these days roll forever on
I collect their disappointment
Hiding it and distracting them
To ensure that none fall silent

I am the reaper of misfortune
Or so I hope to be to them
As I make their lives be rich
Distracting from times that condemn

Where I hide all these weighty moments
Is a logical place, I believe
In a blackened abyss that moves all around
My own soul holds tight the moments I retrieve

You may be concerned
But, there is no reason to fear
I live with these tortures daily
Merely causing my vision to blear
Hatred is old
A creaky, broken tree
Green while roots take hold
Set this new hatred free

Roots push dirt away
Slipping deeper in anger
Strangling themselves astray
This tree's death now sure

Roots run out of water
Bark now cracking & dry
Make rain from this slaughter
Red water falls from the sky

This deadly tree ***** up life
Always thirsty for more
It gives you all but a knife
To feed this tree with gore
Crisp, clear drops
Fall so far, so fast
Splashing off leaking life
From cold paths we past

Lying gently alone
As light shines suddenly
Revealing a heart lost
Life flowing out slowly

In gray, dim light
A figure stumbles
Slipping into the light
Leaving a man so humbled

None see this treachery
So I now die alone
Freed from my senses
I grow cold as stone
I jump from this crowd
Slipping through the guards
Snatching your precious crown
The jewels to which they bowed

But you're no king
Not the kind that's revered
Your crown was built from spite
For those you kept on a string

I am no better than you
Stealing hearts to break
A fool filled with self-pity
Always doubting what to do

I don't steal what's not mine
Merely claim my title-to-be
The king of misguiding & self-loss
Just waiting for the end of the line
Sensations revolve around me
All are causing me to react
Some are foreign, some friendly
One is too familiar for any tact

As this world of many feelings
Revolves steadily about my head
One is perpetually bombarding
It's those simple words you once said

You remember those fateful words
That generate nothing but sorrow
I can hear them echoing now
As if you uttered them not so long ago

But it wasn't that long for me
For I never will move on from this
I'm trapped in that broken moment
My mind forever set amiss

So I will sit in a mournful world
Reliving those words that undo
That forever ring in my mind's ear
"I just don't think I can trust you..."
jk
Closeness is the key
When you refer
To you and me
For our lives have not strayed
From each other's paths
Even when lights did fade

Our bond is unique
To say the least it is
An ever-winding creek
Twisting and turning
Digging deep into banks
For the secrets we are unearthing

So as time moves on
We remain the same
Even past our eon
Into centuries not our own
We carry on in this world
Never fearing to be alone
Losing all control
Why even care
Feelings not returned
Left oh so bare

Yet no one sees
My dark road
Creatures swarm
Alone I never am
As I stumble on
Through a murky world
Air toxic to all
Shattering hopes
And killing dreams
******* up all
Never asking forgiveness
Always cutting
Breaking hearts and bones

I'm lost in emotions
No where to run
Surrender to this world
Started with a gun
