tear in me, so terrifying,
tantalize then tranquilize,
terrible, too many lies,
tamed the truth,
the day i died.

Bury me in autumn leaves,
stuck in thought and memory,
wait for you to cross that sea,
till winter shows me how i breathe.
I'll wait until the lights come on,
the Christmas kind that we first saw,
And though I couldn't keep my word at all,
so grateful you can't see me crawl.
But there's still time to pick me up,
my heart's still yours to interrupt,
so don't be scared,
just love me so,
i'm here because of you,
And you alone.

where do you walk on a blurry night?
lonely, in love, and full of flight.
but how do you fly without your own eyes,
when all of your truth have always been lies?
charles Oct 2018
When thoughts were just thoughts,
Not shackles of the mind,
When substance was sinful,
Not shortcuts through life.
When love was a feeling,
Not a goal to achieve,
When your presence was peaceful,
Not a name lost in steam.
It's not trust that I lack,
Or a fault in your words,
Not the past that I fear,
Or the fear that it stirs.
It's the way that I love,
To the people I hurt,
It's the closet of guilt,
All the things undeserved.

i don't know what true love is,
until it's too late,
i fed you the words,
i knew that you ate.
but god fed me lies,
of a hidden mistake,
love is not mine,
or mine to create.

dont remember your voice,
dont remember your face,
the degree of your breath,
or the heart that i chased.
what once caused me pain,
my mind cant create.
i stayed for too long,
that much i can make.
no comfort in loss,
of what i forgot,
i guess time made its lesson,
my heart was well-taught.
charles Oct 2018
like the feather in flight,
the whitest of lies,
a second in time,
a bell and its chime,
as quick as the word,
at the end of this rhyme,
the feeling of happiness,
sure takes its time.
