Past

I wish I didn't miss you. I wish I could hate you. I wish I was able to wish your death so your physically form wouldn't haunt because I already have you in my mind to do that. I wish things weren't this way between us. I wish we both weren't as proud and ******* as we are, and we could say we love each other and we miss our friendship that is now lost; I know you miss it too.
I wish the word "sorry" meant something to you when I said it repeatedly one year ago.
I wish you would come back running to me saying you were sorry too.
I wish all of this didn't happen so I could still have you by my side, just like before. I wish you could still give me your advices, I wish I could feel the warmth of your comforting hugs.
And at the same time I wish I haven't met you. I wish I had never entered that room you were in, I wish I had never said "hey you", I wish we weren't friends in the past, I wish I hadn't had my heart broken by you, I wish I hadn't had broken your heart. I wish our lives would follow another path where we would had never seen each other's faces. I wish I had never met you at all.

Beauty Denied

Beauty Denied

Flower raised
Light in her eyes
Smiling face
Opening to Love
Shot rang true
Slow to fall
Last breath expressed
Beauty denied
Blood trail out
Floating Flower
Eyes looking up
Gone the light

Lament

Lament

The endless cycle,
Or so it goes.
You pull me in,
Then let me go.
Tell me you want me,
Even if it's a lie.
That's all I need,
Just for one night.
I want to feel your rough hands,
Temble at your soft kiss.
You know what it takes
To send me into sure bliss.
I want to cry in your arms,
Laugh by your side.
I want to be the one you confess to,
The one that makes your eyes go wide.
I can only hope for this,
And not much more.
I can be your now,
Better than the ones before.

Roots

Roots

All that I am
is driftwood for the sea,
It engulfs me,
it engulfs me so easily.
This disease
is thicker then the woods,
It surrounds me,
it surrounds me for good.

All that I am
is cold cracked skin and bones,
It enfolds me,
it enfolds me all alone.
This room
settles harder than the cold ground,
It suffocates me,
it suffocates me until there's no sound.

                                                                  There's strength in a faith that is blind
                                                                    and I'd go blind for you,
                                                                      There's soil for these roots to anchor us
                                                                         if we just hold on through.

No Peace

No Peace

Only when I close my eyes to sleep
Do I find a bit of peace.
A slice of peace
A smidgen of peace
A hint of peace
A piece of peace.

No, who am I kidding?
I find no peace in sleep.
I find my peace in a chemical solution
A narcotic dilution
That I bang into my veins
That I slam into my brain.
No, I find no peace in sleep.
I find no peace in sleep.
I find,
No,
Peace,
In,
Sleep.

This piece was written during some of the darkest days in which I was addled with a vicious addiction to ******. In it I was trying to capture, in a simple way, the hell my life had become.

Again this one, as most of my works tend to be, was originally conceived as a spoken word piece. However, I think this one actually may be stronger in it's written form. As always, constructive critique, and criticism are always welcome.

The Feeling of Being Forgotten

The Feeling of Being Forgotten

It may have meant nothing to you
But those were the moments
I lived for
And to see you forget them
To see you act like they never happened
Kills me
Did I really make it that easy to be just another pretty little face in your life?

Life is a triangle.

Life is a triangle.

Life is a traingle.
A journey from point to point.
Coerced into a new direction.
Each ending sharply, abruptly.
Always starting again.
An inevitable path, leading to an
inevitable end.

I hate that i still love you.

I hate that i still love you.

I hate that I still love you
That I still dream of us together when I fall asleep at night
I hate that I cannot tear myself away from you
That I drink to ease the pain.

I hate that I still let you lay with me in bed
I cry every time we finish
I can’t think of you with another woman.

I hate that I still cry over the fact that we are over
That you do not feel the way I do.
I hate myself for still loving you.
