I know that

I'm awkward

and my every word

comes out a mess


I know that

I laugh too loud

and all I do

is hide behind my hair


All I want is

for you to see

something so clear

yet somehow so opaque

I can see it

Hiding behind your eyes

I can hear it

Buzzing in my ears

I can feel it

Warming my soul

But please forgive me


For I am only worried

A silver film

Covers the iris


A brilliant abrasion

Shrouds the throat


A plight of lacerations

Cover the corpse


There was always

A cry for help


She was always

Drowning in sadness


But you never

Know what you have


Until It's dead and gone

Noble warrior

covered with dust

He doesn't dare to

let you see him sweat


Persistent warrior

with wounds severe

He puts up a smirk

to fool our minds


Passionate warrior

with eyes fixed on target

His gun steadily aimed

a moment frozen


Victorious warrior

with a triumphant grin

Formidable opponent to ashes

His heart is right again

It won't stop
this lovely colour
gushing out from
a hole in my being

It's staining this
ivory coloured rag
I'm also weeping
It still won't cease

It wont' stop
this lovely colour
gushing out from
my shrouded sorrow

I just don't see
I can never please you
I always mess something up

I just don't see
Why I always say
something wrong or
insensitive in your eyes

I just don't see
Why I even try with you
anymore

Your staind glass eyes
Your tears so colourful
My broken swords
My deteriorating armour

You feel like you're all alone
I feel that I can help you
Your being is torn in two
I have a needle and thread

You and I could be something
You and I could love again
I could be yours
You could be mine

We can be us once again
