I just want to scream
    You don't listen
          I feel all alone out here
                And this is the day you choose to keep me at arms length
                       Hardly a coincidence
                          As is always seems to happen this way
                          
                               Me,
                                   You know,
                                     The crazy one
                                       Is left to internally scream into the unknown
                                         Alone
                                              Under the daunting full moon
                                                     How can this be love?
                                                         This can't all be in my head
                                                             or the changing lunar tide

                                            
What is point of being with someone if you feel  and are alone at your lowest points, when you need them most?

Echoes
Josian de Aqua Jul 2014
Echoes through the marble halls,
I find the ghost of you,
Looking at a single photograph,
I come to find a love oh so untrue,
I gave you all there was to give,
but you still left me blue,
I’ve packed my bags,
You’re off to love someone new,
But I’m still smiling,
Because  I know

Long after I’m gone,
You’ll still have your memories,
The moments that we shared will echo through
To find the ghost of what we once were,
So no matter what life brings
You’ll still have your memories of me

Even if today, I’m not on your mind,
As you hold her in your arms,
There will come a day,
When you will look back and think,
and wonder what it would be like,
If you had more than just memories of me

The Beast
Josian de Aqua Jun 2014
Doubt,
How it floods my being.
You,
You the boy,
Brought this upon me.
Makes me wonder,
Nervous,
Anxious,
Deep down,
Deep inside,
Behind the cold unyielding exterior.

I want you to give me all of your attention,
Attention every moment,
Like a selfish, insecure child.
You bring out this,
This beast.
How it consumes me!
Be mine,
Be,
Mine!
No more charades
The walls,
How they crumble at your touch!

The beast deep in me,
it fast approaches!
Perhaps,
Just maybe,
If you run away now,
You will escape it,
escape its clutches.
For I fear,
Oh how I fear,
the way it takes control!
It swallows my mind whole,
A love sick creature from the depths below.
One track mind.

Please,
I beg you,
Leave now!
Leave before it takes us,
Before the crash,
Before the burn,
The tears
The sleepless nights.

This weak heart,
This tainted heart of mine,
Cannot bear the weight of the beast,
Green eyes,
Pacing,
Staring at the clock.

I fear the the beast is not as patient as I.
I feel it creep up,
Squeezing my stomach tight,
Taking the oxygen from my lungs.
Oh how it takes me into its grasp!

I implore you!
Run!
Be free!
Don’t look back!
For the beast,
It fast approaches!


Love does run fast....
Josian de Aqua Jun 2014
Sometimes things just feel tight,
You try to laugh it off,
Something about our love doesn’t seem right,
Can’t you see the damage done,
The cracks in my sanity,
From when you run,
Away from the question a hand you see,
If you love me or her,
If you feel like  this is supposed to be,


Can’t give in,
Don’t want to let go,
But you break my heart  to pieces,
You’re messing with my flow,
I know that there is always tomorrow,
But perhaps that’s too soon


You don’t seem to comprehend this game,
As I won’t be the one played
Stuck here, looking  back on all the times I whispered your name,
I wish that you could hear,
Hear me everytime,
When my heart cries out,
When your doubts are on my mind,
So maybe if I write this,
And add a beat to this rhyme,
You will hear me loud and clear,
No more wasting time

Can;t give in,
Don’t want to let go,
But you break my heart  to pieces,
You’re messing with my flow
I know that there is always tomorrow,
But perhaps that’s too soon

I have the heart of a poet,
So easily shattered by your touch,
Be careful what you hold on to,
Because it just might be too much,
As it drips from your hand,
Piece by piece,
Never knowing where it will land,
Never having any peace.

Can’t give in,
Don’t want to let go,
But you break my heart  to pieces,
You’re messing with my flow
I know that there is always tomorrow,
But perhaps that’s too soon

Like The Wolf
Josian de Aqua Jun 2014
Like the wolf,
I watch,
I wait,
Hidden amongst the trees

Foolish prey,
So loud,
So overestimating,
You think you are immune

I see all,
I see you,
I hear all,
I hear you,
Flaunting your colors,
Attempting to lure a victim once again

It will be the death of you,
Your demise,
As I bide my time,
Masked by the snow of humility

Under your hypnotizing feathers,
So pleasing to the eye,
Lays the shriveled remains of what was,
So desperately grasping,
Twisting nature’s fate for your own pleasures,
Trying to have what you cannot

When Winter is over,
Your feathers will be gone,
As the cycle of life starts anew,
No longer will you be a pretty bird,
They will finally see the real you

Like the wolf,
I will come out of hiding,
Searching for my worthy prey,
Of course I will walk right past you,
Because you are not worth the time of day

The King
Josian de Aqua Jun 2014
Tonight,
You brought tears of joy to my eyes.
The first man to do such a thing.
You have made me feel,
Made me feel,
Wanted,
Cared for,
For the first time in oh so long.

You don’t wish to toy with my heart,
You don’t wish to use me.
You want to love me,
To love the unloveable.

You are brave to have climbed the wall around my heart.
Slowly, but surely.
The champion.

Now you are king.
But now I wonder,
What shall you do with my city,
My core,
My heart?
Will you rule it to ruins with war and betrayal?
Or perhaps build it to memorable greatness,
Making it truly immortal?

This is your choice,
For all I can do is sit beside you,
A loyal subject,
And perhaps a foolish one at that.

You say that you have wanted me all along,
Who knows if that’s true.
But somewhere deep inside,
I somehow knew that you were something to me.
Perhaps my inside knew before I did.

To My Old Friend
Josian de Aqua Jun 2014
Every now and then
I wonder where you are
If you are happy
And if you ever look up at the stars
The same ones that I looked to
When you broke our hearts,
A piece of yours
A piece of mine
Shattered into pieces
All the remnants now overgrown with vines

There is someone else now
We love each other so
But I’ll always carry a piece of you
You may not even know
How much of me you took with me
When you walked out that door

Another sleepless night
Spent attempting to remember your face
But this time no tears
I have someone that fills the void
The one you deepened so
A piece of him
A piece of me
They make a whole

Memories in His Words...
Josian de Aqua Oct 2014
Back in the day,
When there was so much to lose,
I remember all the times I asked you to stay,
You made me feel like I didn't need nothin' else,
Like nothin' else mattered,
Now I'm sitting here by myself,
Playing back all the memories of me and you,
Remembering all the moments we shared,
Back when I wanted all the dreams we had together to come true,
Life goes on,
And so did I,
But the memories I keep inside,
They'll never die,
And no one can take that away


It's hard to find the words,
To tell the world how you made me feel,
Some of it felt like a dream,
As things were too amazing to be real,
I try to re-live those moments in my head,
It's just not the same,
Replaying all the things that you said,
I've never been the same since you came around,
It's funny how one person can do so much,
How they have you flying high,
And the next minute falling to the ground,
I loved you more than words can explain,
Chasing that high,
Wanting your love to fall on me like rain,
Memories can seem so alive,
Memories never die,
And no one can take that away

Scars
Josian de Aqua Jun 2014
The scars you left,
Tried and true,
Are still lingering between us,
Keeping me away from you,
You promise that it will be different this time,
That you won’t do me wrong,
But the memories haven’t faded,
When the pain was just too strong,
I give all that I have,
Just to see you smile.
But something in me says that you will only stay for a little while
And out in the cold I’ll be,
Left on the floor like I was before,
To pick up what is left of me,
When I hear you two’s song on the radio,
It makes me cry inside,
Because it reminds me of what I’ll never be,
Of how important I will never be in your eyes.

Morning After
Josian de Aqua Jun 2014
As  you lay in the bed
Sleeping off the night before,
I feel a warm ray of light hit my face,
The sun is rising,
But it’s dark inside.
I sit amongst the destruction,
Feeling like the only human being left,
I look at you,
Still feeling that overwhelming love,
Even after all that I went through

I stroke your cheek,
Letting a single tear fall on you,
As I wish that I could fix it,
Fill that endless hole that you have inside,
That you feel the need to fill with all the wrong things,
Wanting to do anything to make you happy,
But knowing deep down that I can’t

The vicious cycle to which we are bound,
It feels so right for a while,
Then that one night comes,
Where it all comes tumbling down,
Everything that I built,
The wall I built around you,
To keep you happy,
To keep you safe

My heart is tired

— The End —
