Nevermind Jan 2017
Sadness creeping up the spines
Empty skeletons wine and dine
Hollow chests and missing eyes
Embracing till the end of time
Carried by stardust to the afterlife
Particles shimmer and catch the light
Bones crumble ash to ash
Gone like memories of the past
The love they thought would always last
Sweeps away almost just as fast
Caught between eachother's arms
Love hidden away, safe from harm
Glowing softly amidst the dark
Never ever to drift apart
Nevermind Jan 2017
Water splashing
Beneath my feet
My heart crashing
Ripping at the seams
Tears dripping down my cheeks
I'm still alive
Running through the streets
Trying to stay alive
I desperately flee
From my own mind
And the emptiness that feasts
Trying to escape the last goodbye
And the pain it brings

Trailing in circles
Can't ever catch up
Jumping over hurdles
Chasing the drugs
Nothing lasts forever
It's never enough
All alone chasing
This illusion of love
I'm in a lot of pain.
Nevermind Jan 2017
Geometric shapes on the floor
***** sneakers, scuffs galore
Hunched over hiding from the light
Mocking from above, loud and bright
One dead flower in the bunch
It's subtle colors weren't enough
Only enough water in the vase
For those that grow steadily, a silent race
Fear lingering underneath fingernails
Ignoring grafitti and worthless details
Word's scratched into rusty stalls
Petals withering like leaves in the fall
Losing grips on whatever's real
Cut up fingers clutching the wheel
Guiding headlights through the night
Planning for later, hoping to die
Irritation stinging inside veins
Every voice seems to sound the same
Holding onto all this pain
Just to stay a little insane
I wrote this in the hospital
Nevermind Jan 2017
Your words reminded me
Of things I couldn't believe
All those years it seemed
Everything was just a dream
Tried to be pretty
Tried to be clean
But everyone saw right through me
Caught in the illusion
Dancing through reality
Lost in the confusion
The wicked schemes
And through it all nothing's real it seems
Just the thoughts, the visions
The rest is heat
Lost to mysteries down desert roads
And summer night's breeze
Caressing sails of boats
Nevermind Jan 2017
French flowers
In the sun
Gentle showers
On the run
Hurrying, smiling
Beneath the rain
Speaking kindly
Words in vain
Seasons changed
We were still the same
Cupping snow
Like whitish paint
Spread upon a lonely gray
Cloudy skies
Above hideaways
Thunder booming
Crashing waves
Cool, calm safety
At the bay
You filled nature with something new
But I'll still adore it, even without you
Nevermind Jan 2017

i thought i’d let you know

i still love you

even after all these years

i still love you

because i never stopped


i still care about you

if you’re doing okay,

if you’ve healed from

the mistakes and wounds

that i’ve caused you


i still think about you

even if i was the one

who left all those years ago

i’m sorry that i was such

a failure, a mess, a traitor

i’m sorry that i gave up

despite the fact that you

were trying to make it work


i’m sorry that i’m such a

disappointment.

i know you will push away

my words and letters but

please…

please listen just this last

time.

i’m sorry…

and i love you.

i never stopped.
