Never Alone
JRL Aug 2015
You forced chemicals through my veins
Little did I know that I had a choice
My blood runs rich with death
They say I'll live, but I know I'm dying

You will never know the pain
You will never know the agony
All you know is

I never deserved this life
I question my existence every day
Even through the pain I've held onto one thing

You were always there by my side
Even when I couldn't touch you
You felt my pain

Even when my family deserted me
I was never alone

It's worth defending
JRL Aug 2015
body parts strewn everywhere.
        what is It?
        what is value?
         billions of people everywhere.
Life.
         who values It anymore?
         who would waste It?
         who would treat It with contempt?
Life.

"Because every human life is precious in the eyes of God, and science and common sense dictate that life begins at conception, it is clear that abortion is the wanton taking of human life and no truly great nation can allow this practice to take place."

Sea of Apathy
JRL Aug 2015
We've got an identity crisis on our hands, I know you better than you know yourself, you keep pushing me away, but you always come running back to me, don't you know who you're talking to? If you came running back to me you should know that I've moved on. (But if you prove your love, I'll change my mind completely!) You never spoke the truth, but I never saw through your lies. I thought you were predicable in your own way, never could I have been more wrong about anyone I thought I loved. The feelings were there, the thrill of my heart, the tug of emotions, but it was never real. I was once captivated by your look, your beautiful grey-blue eyes pierced deep into my own blue. It's now just a blur of emotion, you are nothing more to me than a stranger who avoids any fleeting glances. I'm a nobody to you, just another face lost in a sea of apathy.

S.M.O.K.E.
JRL Aug 2015
I don't smell a lion
Smoke obscures your face - uncovering who you truly are
Evil is your greatest love
Your melancholy smile haunts all who behold your face.
Oh the pleasure of being a martyr
Living in darkness is so comfortable - Dark Moral Objectivity
The veil you wear is sickening - self-righteous *****
Gloom enters with you, striking fear into everyone
Don't think you aren't isolated
The veil you wear isolates - the veil brings you power too
Though you are recognized you aren't accepted
Moral convictions mean nothing - utter nothingness.
          Your bed is a shrine to the past,
                    of past lovers whose hearts
                    you ripped out - leaving their
                    lifeless skeletons to continue
                    wandering - searching for a love
                    that they will never find . . . .
Once the epitome of purity - your perceived innocence is smoke
Thick smoke fills the room - suffocating all who breathe it in.
You breathe in smoke everyday - You spew smoke onto everyone around you.
Smoke like a noose chokes me - thrashing wildly I grasp for truth, all I have is smoke.

— The End —
