for my best friend douglas
Days of Dawn Apr 2014
Please
Don't leave
The only thing left
Tears flowing

Don't go
Me alone
Of you
Down my face

Away where
To my own
Is that stupid note
To the floor

I cannot follow    
Devices
You left
Where they pool

I don't want
The only part of you
Left is a
Note
Every line is continued in the next stanza (except the last stanza)
Days of Dawn Mar 2014
O
exited for a new start
having a bad day
not okay
friendless

trying his best
tripped
shoved
lost

unappreciated and disregarded
optimistic
kind
alone

in the library
in a corner
in a book
in tears

bullied and ridiculed
bruised
battered
broken

free-falling quickly
hitting reality
impaled
"scratched"

getting crushed
needing help
helpless
dark

hiding his anguish
not being good
shattered
waiting

pessimistic and depressed  
worrying his mom
a shadow
dripping

Locking the door
writing a note
preparing
tearful

saying silent goodbyes
not falling asleep
not ready for it
finally dead




Orange is
Days of Dawn Mar 2014
Red
Blood
fresh and warm
pulsing
right under the skin

Lips
bright and succulent  
kissing
the wrong person

Rose
pretty and fake
smelling
better from afar than close

Red is a betrayal
Red is rage
Red is lust


Red is the memory of you
Days of Dawn Mar 2014
You
You could never take anything less than perfect
That's why I wondered why you took me

You were the best thing that happened to me
and I'll remember our life for you

The way we met, at a coffee shop, how cliche
but you thought it was cute

First date, first sweat, first suit, first smile,
first laugh, first kiss, first love

We hung out more and even more
met your parents, and you mine

The beautiful chapel, huge cake. I admit it,
I don't remember much, just you

Happiness settled in like an old friend,
you gave me a present

But then suddenly you were gone.
one day here, the next not

You just left, got up and left me,
with barely anything

The scars are still red, but I've forgiven you
I know you couldn't wait

I'm kneeling on the ground, putting a rose where others lay
you can't imagine how I feel

A ray of sunshine personified in our
wonderful child toddles over

He looks at the odd gray stone in the ground
that's all that's left of you
Days of Dawn Mar 2014
I can't feel the warmth inside my chest,
of a racing heart or rapid breaths
is that bad?

The walls around me are crumbling,
they're letting in all the pain
is that bad?

I can't remember what sunshine feels like,
all I know is blood and darkness
is that bad?

The demons of my past and present,
swarm me like moths to light
is that bad?

My facade of happiness and lies,
is almost see through
is that bad?

I'm one step from oblivion,
and I want to take it  
is that bad?

Please give me an answer
because I can't hold on

**anymore
Days of Dawn Mar 2014
You think you are nothing,
I think you are not.

I think you are my everything,
You think you are not.

You think you have no one,
I think you have me.

I think you have everyone,
You think you do not.

When will you realize that,
I may not always be right,
But I'm right here
