a stoic smile
Just24 Dec 2014
a stoic smile. vacant look. an awkward pause. a timeless book.
crystal walls, and boundless roads. minutes laughing. ages mourned.
growing bolder. feeling new. falling backwards. cutting through.
overthinking. weeping. sigh… knowing. living. getting by.

apps
Just24 Dec 2014
apps and adds, digits and notes,
pixels and bites, tweets and blurbs,
pics and clicks, hits and views,
looks and stares, steps and moves,
loves and losts, drops and tears,
lives and smiles, hopes and fears

rust
Just24 Dec 2014
the soil rusts, the water thaws
all tiny slips becoming spikes
inside my veins I know it lives
but all too well mixed up with fears
with every passing longing day
I feel no more relief to say

knots
Just24 Jun 2015
I know only of one medicine that could make the knots in my stomach untwist… and that’s you.

soulless
Just24 Dec 2014
all living souls walk empty minded
with every step to heal their pains
the minds of old are just as blinded
they fail to see how much has changed

unbearable
Just24 Jun 2015
I wish I hung on to your stares and let them become unbearable to resist…

it
Just24 Dec 2014
it
it burns
it stings
and bleeds some more
in time it sleeps
but wakes to roar
it claws
and gnaws
scratches and bites
it stops to taunt you
and then restarts

beautiful tragedy
Just24 May 2017
If having you meant going through hell
I’d burn to the core

If holding you meant selling my soul
Then I’d be no more

If you asked me to heal your wounds
I’d take all the pain

What a beautiful tragedy to love someone
When they’re too much of a coward to stay…

Shall we?
Just24 Jun 2015
I swear, there’s not that much more to say
I just wanna get whatever this is underway…

prisoners
Just24 Feb 2017
our lives are not our own
we are never truly ever free...
we are just prisoners
of what we’re expected to be
