A drop, so small,
Can cleanse me
If I let it fall
Upon my skin.

Rushing down
From heaven above
It collects like a crown
On my head, so cold.

So cold, so cold am I.

Sailing downward
It comforts me still.
All feeling is absurd
Running through it all.

The world is gray
While it soars,
Yet it makes me stay
In it's blissful reign

The rain, it never ends.
I love the rain.
I thought I was good,
But you know what they say;
Those who do what they should,
Often into wild evils stray.

Once thought near a saint,
Now condemned for all I do.
My will to sin, no longer faint.
Inside, a dense tangle grew.

Slowly unwinding and ripping
Is this fragile dying soul.
While you gaze at the dripping;
Oozing quickly from this black hole.

Tie me down with ropes,
Of twisted evil strings,
Ripped from my weary heart and hope;
Drenched in blood & misery, Life's kings.

I promise I won't fight.
I know I deserve this fate
For I finally lost all light
In this demon-forest, so great.
What have I become?
There comes a time to say goodbye
But never soon enough
For to truly be a safe goodbye
We would not have met to make mischief
No not even for a second
Could I met your steely eyes
Without the pain of this parting
Rushing black over my life skies
Farewell Matt Smith...
It fills my soul,
Ever growing in essence.
Glowing like a coal
It enlightens my presence.
Music is my whole.

Why do I try so hard?
Can't I see the great
That surrounds the bard?
Erasing this slate,
My happiness is unmarred.

So I place these fingers
Upon the metal notes.
Creating music that's deeper
Than any story I wrote;
Sending me to my rapture.
First blatantly happy poem lol.
Anger flows every way
Through my soul and in my brain it stays
I tried my best to simply obey
Attempted to drown you out with Parrot Bay

"I miss you"s falling from my lips
Stinging all along my hips
Bruises on my heart from your tight grip
Sanity and hope begin to slip
I just am suddenly super not okay with how this frickin happened
Scarcely aware as it runs
Fluid dripping by the tons
As done by millions

I lose myself within it all
As my soul becomes a dark ball
Darkening as I plunge and fall

First come the cement walls…

Ripped from my life, yet never in death
Escape supposedly comes from ****
Yet like her, it only takes my breath

Tripping on the lie
That once made me try
Even if it could make me die

Next come the cold steel bars…

Breathing in death, or perhaps sleep
I try to hold my keep
But all emotions, they simply seep

Forever I die, forever I think
This, I know, is permanent like ink
But all is gone within a blink

At last, the guard, myself, takes his post…

I try and fail
Unable to afford bail
As I wait in my self-made jail.
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
Don't you ******* see?
This world you have made?
Full of pain and anger,
All happiness will only fade...
                                                        ­                        I know what I have done.
                                                           ­                         But what else can I do?
                                                             ­                   I fight off the nightmares
                                                      ­                   That haunt my night through
You can't control your demons
without losing everyone around
So just give up this fight
Or you will surely drown*
                                                          ­               You're right, I have no choice
                                                          ­                      But to sleep forevermore
                                                     ­                          So I will lay myself to rest
                                                            ­         On this freshly reddened shore
...
Breathe...
Breathe... Breathe.......breathe....breathe..breatheBreatheeee
Where has all my air gone?
Did you steal the oxygen I so desperately need?
Or has the air lost its life as you did?
Nothing hides in plain sight like the broken man of yesterday, stepping through each day as if it were a doorway into the infinite of repetition.
Work numbs the brain and drugs dull the pain.
Words comet across the sky
Bursts of flame and rage trailing behind
Brilliant array of blues and greens to twist my world round and round towards the blackest pit the world has never known
Dedicated to those we have lost
Flaws, they burn our souls,
Yet, yours shine in my eyes.
Forever a fight to show;
You never believe what i feel.
I plead and concede my faults
While praising your ****-ups
Like they can't be wrong.
I know you are human,
And ****** like the rest,
And still your soul reflects
The good you ever do.

Oh, if you were mine,
Even for a moment,
Never would I care
That my heart is dead
And my soul, it cries,
For I had you
For a little at least.
Alas, you struggle to keep
Me away at all costs,
While you slowly want to give
A small chance, yet you can't.

So wait I shall do,
Until the world is grey and sad,
Until my tears are taken by Death.
For she is worth all I can give,
No matter the cost to me.
I looked at her eyes every night,
but she never did notice despite
that I couldn’t take my eyes away
from her soul’s shining light.

What if that thing you always said
you wanted to keep, but not in your head.
Just went on a merry trip to beyond
with an action that is pleasing widespread.

I looked at her eyes every night,
but she never did notice despite
that I couldn’t take my eyes away
from her soul’s shining light.

Slipping through the folds of life
we try to end this grievous strife.
Can she not really see what I feel?
So I just tear away with this knife.

I looked at her eyes every night,
but she never did notice despite
that I couldn’t take my eyes away
from her soul’s shining light.

Tears, dripping down with haste,
From my cheek, to the red they raced.
I can’t see as my vision blurs
From the blood, now a waste.

Slipping through the folds of life
we try to end this grievous strife.
Can she not really see what I feel?
So I just tear away with this knife.
This is a song I wrote.
I can't sleep
And nothing helps
Maybe a bottle
Can calm my keep

Some use distractions
To keep them sane
From this worry
And their demons

So distract me
Dear friend of mine
While I fall into
The comfort of *we
Beginning inspired by "Death of Me" by City & Colour
Whiteness** is brilliant
Yet not in this form
A body broken & bent
Fighting a devilish storm

White lingers towards Death

Fought & won before
But with an endless toll
You're shaken to the core
Death craves your soul

Death hides in White

Already a loss to White
No control of fear
Start a losing fight
And splash some red here

Droplets taint this White

Life drains from the wrist
Add to White's score
Two, by Death, kissed
Strange sleep on the floor

White murders all it knows
Trouble brews these wicked nights
Dark gazes pierce the facade
Hunger tells us to rip each other apart
Ravenous and devoid of heart

Crippled minds run this show
Beating down your soul
Chopping off your limbs
Culling out hope with a snip and trim

Can't catch what never leaves a trace
Demons can't walk among us
For the fate of our grubby hands
Lies within our festering palms
A smile,
That's all I ask.
I know you are sad
Because life is hard.

You are human,
And like me, fall in flaw.
Yet, your imperfections
Are your redemption
For without them,
I would never believe
You aren't an angel.

Yet, you are my angel.
You saved me from demons,
The kind that **** for fun,
The kind I lived like.

So give me that smile,
That smile, saving my soul,
That smile, forever a blessing.
If only your heart
Would join in a smile
Towards me,
Like mine does for you.
I wish I could get through to you
I really truly wish
I wish that moon would reflect in your eyes one more time
I wish a lot of things
For money & fortune & fame
I wish cancer wasn't real
I wish I didn't always have to be right
But the wish I wish more than any wish I wish
Oh what a wish it is too
For my world will be as empty as these wishes without you beside me to see them come true
Witty little man
Won't you share a tale?
Won't you keep me entertained?
Filling my soul with hope
Or keeping fear in the hearts of all
As you spin that story
Unique every time
Is it that scary tale tonight
Or a knight to the rescue?
No matter the intent
It always catches ears
Always a joy to hear
So I ask again
Won't you share a tale?
Will you distract me again?
Won't you keep the lie alive?
Killing is a cute game
Full of hate & love
With this knife I rip and mame
Go meet our God above

Like paint comes this red
To make a glorious masterpiece
Too bad you wind up dead
Never finding your own peace

Why do you push this line?
Always starting a fuss.
You wanna start with me? Fine.
Just know, you can't **** with us

So I played that game with you
'Till we saw what you were
You never acted too true
Now you're a liar for sure

Pull a gun to your chest
Scream real loud at you, "Sham!"
"You think you're the best?"
Click the trigger, gun goes *blam!
Your touch it burns
While your soul is cold
I can't run away for
Your touch keeps me here.

Frozen within.

As painful as it seems
I suffer now with glee
For you bring me joy
While destroying my essence.

Burning throughout.

I can't remember a time
When the world meant
What you mean to me
Yet you slow my thinking
With your icy words
And cold gestures of
Hateful love forever
Killing me.

Dying in this icy flame.

Once I knew you
And then you hid
From me so I could
No longer understand.

Darkness consumes.

Busting forth from
Your depths shines darkness.
Bright as a morning star
So as to blind me

Light hinders.

You wrap me up in
This bright ball of dark
That kills all things
That are meant to help
You in your journey
From one day to the next.

Murdered by your soul.
Balance kills quicker...
You make me so giddy
Ripping reality to pieces
Leaving me breathless
Can't you see your effects?

Colors flowing everywhere
My vision blurs so steadily
Blackness soon envelopes me
Knees break from my weight

Drugs can't compare
To the experience you give
Drain me of all reason
Blur all my senses to nothing

Yet for all this confusion
For all this damage done
I still crawl back to you
For one more moment

I try to break the cycle
Attempt to come clean
But this suffering is what I live for
You're my drug, all I need

— The End —
