Life goes on
Even when you don't want it to
But only the strong
Will make it through okay
Shining brighter than before

Even as they still live
Day to day
To mask the pain
To forget the tears of yesterday

Life goes on
Even as the world may fall
Only those with courage
Come out standing tall

Falling
  
Falling

Down

There's
No hope
for us now

Just how
The fire

Dies

Down

No, there's no hope
for you
now

You can't be
Safe now

Saved now

Somehow
You've fallen
Again

That's all
You've ever done
Now Look
At what you've
Become

Say
Good night

So long

Lights
out

...

"You are afraid of the darkness that dwells inside you, but what if I told you that darkness fears you too."
Katherine Laslie Sep 2015
Someday I will be
Nothing but a memory
Just a story to be told
An old picture to behold

Those who remember me
Will keep my presence alive
Tortured by me, who's
Nothing but a memory

I know it's irrelevant
But I cannot bare the thought
Of being the cause of their pain
My memory will bring nothing but
Heartache

I would rather dissolve
Waste away
As the hands of time
Drift me away

I would rather pass on
Than weigh the hearts of those I love
Don't let me become a memory

Be happy
Cherish your life, in peace
What's gone is gone
And in time, you'll move on
Although the pain clings in desperation
It will someday release it's hold
Even if the rain is bitter and cold
The sun will shine again

Please don't let me be
Just another memory
Katherine Laslie Sep 2015
I'm alone
Lost in a world
Surrounded by presence
Yet I feel this absence
Thirsting for a home
Craving acceptance
Will there ever be a day
When my life isn't
Tormented
All I want
All I need
Is a foundation
Some security
Maybe then I will finally
be set free
Of my iniquities
Katherine Laslie Sep 2015
Innocence
It's nothing but illusion
Betrayal
Is all I've ever known
The pain subsides
Yet is ever-changing as the tide
It pulses and it dies down

Destruction
Is the product of these two hands
Loneliness
Is what always happens in the end
Nothing Alive
To stay and abide
The disappointment seems so unreal

Numb
From the trials I face
Bitter
From the illusions I make
Never would I feel again
Never would I let you in
To protect myself
From the same fate
Relived once more

— The End —
