How do tears burn like acid,
Why does your mouth emit poison,
When did your fingers start burning my wrist,
What had you intention been?

something started
something good
halted

something good
something wanted
halted

something wanted
something needed
halted

torn from my heart
something
halted

describe how you think the sky looks lately
how the leaves seem to fall in a certain pattern
what the silence says to you compared to what it says to me

sometimes the rain leaves love notes on my window
meet me by the river
the one you see in your dreams

i dream of the river kissing my eyelids
the cool water a warm blanket
tucking me in to sleep

i never sleep long enough
something tears me awake every time
the love note blown away

i find i’d been holding my breath
a gasp of air through aching lungs
almost as if i had been drowning

not one drop of
water
fill
the
ocean of sorrow

“But can you love me? ” she asked quietly.

Though it was more of a dare than a question.

This war is ripping me to shreds
My mind, splattered with so much red
My heart, a rag doll to a dog, stricken with such great regret
My eyes don't want to see it yet

My lord
I am on my own two knees
Breathing in the thin air or sweet salvation
Bloodied by fatal regret
Your replicated crown of thorns cutting through my bloodied head
I am beaten
Again
And again
And again
Who will love me?
Who will fight?
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done
Will?
I am on my own two knees
Breathing in the thin air of sweet salvation

Small candle burning bright
Small candle emitting light
Small candle putting up a fight..
...against the strong zephyr intent on killing it
It's shaking
It's trembling
But still doesn't stop burning
Sometimes when i look at a burning candle i'm taken back to those old days...
...Days when our love used to burn proudly like that
Alas we couldn't give the rough winds much of a fight
And the flame was extinguished forever
Now all that remains are the distant memories of a glorious past which we shared together
