Finale
Joshua Penrod Apr 2016
Then what is a door that is open
With beauty before me I walk
Though I go drunken to her door
Beaten and black
Guarded by brilliance
Here I am there you are
One hand on the trigger one hand on the hand  
Let both of us together leave our lives
Wealthy and wine flushed
Who would exchange compassion for a drink
Oh Lord almighty who hast formed us weak
I will have done with it I will not stand
The pain is real here's your life’s end  
It is over, what is over?
The door is closed

"Finale" -JP
What do ya'll think?

He put the gun back in the safe and said to himself “I don’t want to end up like Kurt”.

Hand In Hand
Joshua Penrod Apr 2019
Honestly I can't believe I went all out for you
We didn't mean it when we said forever
You aint the same that you once were
How dare you make me feel guilty for it
You wanted the same for us anyway
Hand in hand

And Still I Stay
Joshua Penrod Nov 2019
A warm bed that lacks connection
Is colder than a lonely one

Every day conversations that turn into lies
The simplest of notions asks for an alibi

F%ck another late night
F%ck another petty fight
Confusing true love for black eyes

Raccoon masks for the sake of abuse
Degrading words ware themselves into an emotional noose

I don't blush much anymore
A fool to expect intimacy
When your lips deem me a trifling *****

And still I stay
And still I stay
For the abuser is not only you
It's me

For when I stay
By not walking away
I abuse myself passionately

-JP
