Dreams
Steve Shoemaker Apr 2020
Disperse each verse
With rich words
To rip earth
To strip hurt
Forget her
Leave that **** behind
Forget those who quit
Or see your worth revert
Like sinking ships
Sinking quick
Let it sink in quick
Forgive means forget
Your this dream
No one seems to get
Im reaching for dreams
I'm sure ill never hit
Like shooting for the stars
Burried in this pit
Where we led our hearts
Oozing torn and sick
Whos losing more then this
Excuse me while i soar
Enjoy your void
You destroyed my wish
So i burried you in noise
And learned how to RESIST.

HOODAH
Steve Shoemaker May 2019
Every second your gone, is another moment I'm broken
You set like the sun, up over the ocean
I miss you more than you'll have a chance to know
Blew a thousand chances and I can't stand to let this go
How can I handle what it is I've lost
I'm not a father but your a son to a dad with his back to a cross
I know I'm no savior but who knew the wager of loves final sin
Lost control of my behavior now this anger puts the final nail in
All my vitals fail as I find I've failed him
He was the only love that ever truly loved this man that I am
And I'm so far out of touch with who it is I am
Cause all of this love is just a moment to them
But all of my love is an emotion I could never pretend
And all that i want is one more moment I can put in my head
With a kid only six when his mother lead him to death
Cause he don't exist unless my eyes quit
And my mind gives him breath
All of these dreams seem sick when a kid only six has a slit and blood drips down his chest
And this is what I get a sick trip to sit with the dead
Yeah this is what I get when my eyes close and I'm alone on this bed

Goodbyes
Steve Shoemaker Apr 2019
You left me lost, truly I feel lost
I miss your face, but I see your lies
Everythings changed, wasted your time
She brings the rain, but I never cry
Shes on my brain, I'm not on her mind
Would of bought her a ring
Now she doesn't shine
Guess I'm in pain
But i never mind
As ink fills the page
I love what I find
I guess I'm ok
Your out of my sight
Won't beg you stay
This is goodbye
You threw me away
And I watch you die

Empire of sand
Steve Shoemaker Jan 2019
I'm tired
And I can barely stand
This empire I've built in sand
Collapsed,
I can't fill the tracks
Pain feels fresh as air
I was breathless
You swore you were scared
I got the message
Every night you weren't there
You left me here alone
Next to fear, the closest thing to home
Your ghost floats in the hall
Any time I get close
She jumps in the wall
Your exactly the same
Except for the fact one of you stayed
Both of you love stupid little games
I wish Cupid never came
At least he saved you
I remain the same
The aarow must still stick to my brain
It's like a guilt trip every time I slip
I forget to give up
So I wait till fate reunites our love
In this place where it fell apart
A pile of sand, standing by my heart
That used to be our empire
It collapsed, and tore our world apart

— The End —
