A final no
Phrase complete
With tongue and lips and mouth she speaks

And I am gone
A black hole of pain
With nothing here left to gain
Everything I hoped to be
Was bound in her; and not in me

The dream collapsed
And I am done
From now on I shall just be one

A flicking hope
Now shut out
My heart has no strength, it cannot shout

The words I utter
Seem to be
No longer wholly part of me
Just empty phrases
Parts of past
A stranger here; alone at last

I feel strange peace that hope is gone
For now alone, I carry on

My body broken
My spirit crushed
Alone in chains of past and fear
My heart no longer whole is here

I battle and rage
But when I cannot go on
I do not fall apart
I simply go away
A ghost of another day
If all I feel I do pen here
Why do I need another ear?
Their life more pertinent then mine
It's for their sake, I pen this line

I still do tarry among the past
Because I hold so very fast
To hopes and dreams of days gone by
When I had hoped to try to fly
I still do want to rise above
Rising strong, in hope and love

But I know this faltering dream
Is nothing more than something unseen
Unseen in heart
Not in the plan
I hold until I cannot stand

By why I rise?
For 'er I fall
A lone warrior in an empty hall

With mouth and lips and tongue she speaks
A final no
Phrase complete.

Become comfortable wearing that mask.

Brown eyes feed you enough to sustain that sculpted smile
Until the gaze breaks
Pulling out liquid sorrow
Nourishing newly blossomed red petals

When the last soul departs
Where yours is free to jump out of its skin
Realization meets your spirit across the room
And your soul asks it to dance
While they waltz back through your pores
A simple epiphany etches into every layer of your mind
Everything you do is for those brown eyes

Always here
Forevermore

I put this together on the night your angel stopped singing
I bleed black ink and scar this paper
Tattered emotions pulled out by the roots and planted sloppily
Broken wings
Broken dreams
I spill these words and paint myself with lies
With any hope, maybe years from now
I am able to spark the light that I put out
And set things right again

Today
Tomorrow
And everyday after
Everything is done for those Brown Eyes

Little things I love about you; the way you say "don't go".
Or when your eyes settle on me like a fresh blanket of snow.
That goofy grin I adore that swallows most of your face,
is the same pair of lips that I wish my kisses traced.
The way you hold a conversation is how you hold a bird;
steady, calm, and careful.
I cling to every word.
I was never given a title,
I stopped keeping score.
But for the record, let it show
that I was always yours.

In ones eyes rests all the lies
present turns to past
im wishing this moment will last

innocence dies among all the lies
pain and sorrow bring tomorrow
im wishing this moment will last

he tries, but, all the lies
theres no turning back, love i will always lack
im wishing this moment will last

there's lows. there's highs. but in all the lies
my cold heart, forever tearing us apart
I see now,
that this will never last

Cold and alone in my bed
hoping to see you come by
Warm and loving as always
***** to be alone.
You know I don't like to
Be alone at all.
My thoughts crashing in on me
Suffocating me, strangling me
Creeping in on me
Like Jack the reaper
When am alone is when I see
an empty vessel with nothing.
