You are a beautiful creature,
but I couldn't tell you.
You're eight miles high
and I'm here
on earth.
There are some things you never say
To some people.
Then there are some things you never say,
but you whisper them.
Not a word leaves your mouth
but
your atoms
vibrate with it.

Listen
Listen

You'll hear more than they say

Closer
Closer

Don't turn away

Hearts are aching
for what you will say
Speak for those
who are too afraid

A glance speaks volumes
a solemn look
That no one was supposed to see

Nothing they'd say
But without words

There
They're
Sitting alone again

With a book
a pen

They're
There
Hiding

With a world
You've yet to see

We are broken.
We are tattered.
We are scattered.
We are bruised.

We have hurt.
We have anger.
We have hate.

We are jealous.
We are spiteful.
We are judging.
We are judged.

We have conflict.
We have egos.
We have pain.
We have pride.

We are lonely.
We are lost.

We have scars
We are jaded
We have lived.

We have loved.
We have smiled.
We have laughed.
We have dreamed.

We are living.
We are growing.
We are learning.

We have joy.
We have time.
We have passion.
We have opportunities.

We are young.
We must live.

On these days
With no light
Mental haze
Or is it night
With shells a blaze
eyes glowing bright
and bodies lain
on blankets of white
No tears of joy
are shed today
Let to employ
this hostile way
The way of savage
and man alike
When we digress
to a lower life
instinct locks in
when death is nigh
don't fight to win
but to survive
it is no problem
to stomach this filth
Knowing that battle
turns all to silt

Don't you dare tell me I'm free
Then laugh when I do something wrong
Don't tell me you trust
and you believe
Then show me you lied all along

You tell me she tried,
so hard that she cried
But what you don't know
is what was inside
of me with you
there was so much more
than you had thought

No I wouldn't tell
there was far too much
And for me you don't know how hard that was

I couldn't share,
it wasn't yours,
now I know you care,
but what for?

And you couldn't have told me
sooner
either
just kept it behind my back

I hope you two
had a lot of laughs
with that joke you pulled
a couple weeks back

The one where you both
faked to care
about a person you both
wished wasn't there

You told me you'd say
if something were wrong
you lied.

You told me I was free
to live as I want
you lied.

If there was someone else,
you told me you'd tell
I'm not surprised you lied.

You told me you valued honesty.
You love, you crave, transparency.
I don't believe a word of this mess
Darling dear, I am skeptical at best.

I hate that you preach transparency
I cannot take you legitimately
Not as what you say you are
Not as what you should be.

I’d rather rip my own eyes out
And relieve myself of ears
Then reread one more single word
Of your unjustified fears

I’d like for you to gain a sense
Of responsibility
Not for your possessions rather your morality
For your fickle fated longing
For your nauseating pride
For the lack of a new dawning
In your juvenile eyes

Though yet I know what to expect
Your verbal sludge takes its toll
How did you gain anyone’s respect with your corroded soul?
