Happiness has left
like the passing of seasons.
Spring has bloomed and wilted,
Summer's heat has chilled,
Even Autumn has disappeared, like leaves in the wind.
All that remains now, is the harsh loneliness of a freezing icy storm.
Winter has come to stay.
And i fear, it is going to stay for a long time.
I can feel the ice, on my hands, through my gloves,
cold slithering and scraping up my bony limbs
to my warm heart, chilling it to its core.
All is numb.
I've lost the ability to feel.
The cold has a tight and unforgiving grip on my soul.
What do I have to live for? I guess i'll have to find out.
I pull my jacket closer and shiver,
and then slowly drift and disappear into the merciless blizzard,
searching for something, anything, to melt away the ice in my core.

When lively cities turn to crumbled ruins,
remember, you are a tall building.
Continue to stand.
The early sun rises, illuminating a fallen world,
rays lighting up a catastrophe...
Continue to stand.
Shadows cast behind you like a curious child,
playing among the rubble and debris
of other buildings who have fallen.
Continue to stand.

Be strong and sturdy and endure. +

Just let the memories go
watch your future unroll
the past will cease entering the present
and the future?
will become your new reality.
a paradise, no longer haunted by unforgettable memories.
a kingdom, to build a new life.
a home, to find new love and be free from it's constricting binds,
who's taste has turned foul.
Oh, bitter love, soon to be forgotten in the winding breeze.
The smell of salt...
the breath of sun...
The past is now forgotten,
like footprints in the sand stolen by the sea.

In the catastrophe of broken lights,
and scrunched stripes you'll find me,
hiding from the world
seen through only the darkest of shades. +

twinkle twinkle little star*
how I gaze at you from afar
dare to reach out my hand
and hold you in my arms. +

I sit here alone
in the pale light.

I should be happy, but you are stuck on my mind.
a heartbroken torture,
a hell of a surprise.
I knew it would end just like this.

I had let myself fall more and more in love with you.
Deeper into the oceans of love,
which I know fear.
I had hoped it had shrunk, but it grew and grew.

I remember the moonlight
and seeing the lifeless body.
I remember my blood-curling screams.

     I was one told of a sad tale,
that I heard long ago.
But now I understand that story.
Two lovers, one fate.
Their love grew and grew.
They wanted to run, to escape, to be free.
In the end though, both were dead.

I should feel sad, but all emotion has been stripped from me.

I remember standing by your grave
flowers slipping from my hands
tears washing down my cheeks,
wondering, can I live on?

The answer is no, Romeo, Romeo,
Save not your Juliet from these horrors?

I turn away from the pale light, off my porch steps,
away from the bright moon and stars.
This brilliant planet,

I shall never see again.
I'm not commiting suicide, don't worry. This poem is written in the view of Juliet from Shakespeare.
I used an allusion of their love story when talking about "a sad tale" .

i sit here now
with nothing to do,
can't stop myself from thinking,
thinking of you.
With you on my mind,
I hear music,
I hear voices,
singing in a language i'll never know.
We make our songs,
we fill in the words,
we tap our own beat,
we create our own language,
the language of the loved.
The song of the heartbroken,
the beat of a heart,
thump thumping for you.
Those shattered words,
broken apart, put together,
when will love's ache end?
I hear my friends talk about true love,
and i just want to say, to save any trouble,
it doesn't exist.
Just that steady beat, and that slow but melancholy song filled with unspoken words.
