Drenched
in [blood],
I cross the room
I used to hear before the
(boom)

All was fine until I spoke,
choke...
choked
I run my hands
across my shirt,
still soaked

With
[blood]
I keep my pace.
I never turn to look around

I know what stains the ground
[blood]

My heart is still,
it doesn't
(beat)
my limbs numb

I smell the tar
the burning flesh... yum

Is it over?
Meandering the world, like the bottomless dregs

I humble myself, even so low as to beg

But my prayers aren't voiced to those who might hear

They are spoken within, the only place I'm sincere.

I ask no forgiveness for what I've become

Something so inadequate, I've dubbed myself ****.

Through the days that have passed, and time turned away

I've listened to silence, as it shouted dismay

For in the solitude of my own self's concentration

I lost touch of what I hold dear, losing my soul's sensation

What does it mean to be a ghost? To wander around dead, to see, but not touch?

I suppose if I wasn't still alive, it wouldn't matter as much

Why then has my soul, from my body, left?

Why has it exchanged my true heart, with one so bereft?

Must all good hearts be stolen by first love's kiss?

There isn't a day with her I've spent that I will never miss.

But is my memory a delusion? Is she only a vessel?

Either way, comfort I would find; and in her arms I'd nestle.

To feel another's heart, so close to mine, how supreme.

But this will only occur, to me, in a dream.

I wake, to float through another day, and sigh

And within; the only place I let myself, cry.
Sentenced to an eternity,
Frozen here with you

I honestly cannot think
Of anything better to do.

So in this room I'll hear your voice

And with your song, my soul's rejoice.

Lifetimes spent, for what we'll attain

The stars will bless the places we've lain.

So in this moment by your side

Our love will sway with Ocean's tide.

Ebb and Flow, but always there

Stronger, even than a Bear!

Living an Eternity
Side-by-side with you,

I will never need to think
Of anything better to do...
Deep in my mind, a voice whispers to me
   Late in the night, I eventually agree
Yet no matter my efforts, I cannot conform
   Not for this voice in my head, I shall never perform
I don't believe that I'm free, so in darkness I await
   It is the best I can do, to try to not hate
But the venom has a hold in me, its roots have grown quick
   I can't see myself in the mirror, my soul twisted and sick
The world giggles and laughs, all at my expense
   But soon it shall tremble, I will destroy it's defense
Dragged into oblivion by the Just gods
   I ended up hating myself, what were the odds?
I dream of a dream when I'm thinking of you

And when you roll my way, I can't think what to do

Except stare like a fool, like a kid with a crush

When you smile at me, I can't help but to blush

So I keep staring at you, wanting to be known

Hoping that one day you'll call me, on my cellular phone

If I wait long enough, will I be worthy of thee?

Or will I continue to be drift wood, in your Caribbean Sea?

Should that be the case, let me drift for all time

And in bottles I'd send everyday what I rhyme

A poem for your beauty, One for your hair

Another for the cute little tempers that flare

I'll tell you you're pretty, funny, and smart

As my only truest gift, I give you my heart

So my dear don't you see what you hold in your hands?

If it's nothing you want, let it die in the sands

But let it be known, that my heart beat for you

What no one will know, is who I gave it to.

— The End —
