Let me go

K Jun 2019

I was told
to go to the Light
So I went
But the Darkness
It consumes me
Separating me from
the warmth
of its rays
Please...
Free me
from this cage of Evil.

Love

K Jul 2017

Love

It doesn't have to be forever
It's not as permanent as some may think.
It can fade away
Just as easily as it can flourish.

I'm a lover
Not a fighter

I was never the type
To be affectionate
But as time went on
I learned to love it
In fact
I craved it.
I still do
Even more so

I love your laugh
how contagious it is
how suddenly it occurs
how uncontrollable it is
how it sounds
how it makes me feel

I love your smile
I love how you try to hide it
How it makes me feel

I love your brown eyes
How they look at me
how they pierce into my soul
How they make me feel

I love your name
I love the way it sounds
I love the way it's spelled
I love the way it looks

I love your words
Your kindness
Your humor
Your compassion
Your honesty
I love everything about you.

But if I say I love you
Will you say it back?
I don't think you will.

For Me

K Apr 2017

For Me

I write about all of these things
It's not for you,
But it's for me.

I write about my fears
And I write about my worries.
I write about my tears
And I write about my stories.

I write about the things
That I hope to soon forget.
I write about the things
That I always will regret.

If I can't let it out to you
then I'll let it out to me.
Because I don't do this for you
I do this for me.

I write to make myself feel better about whatever it is that's taking over my mind. If I don't let it out then it will stay there, trapped forever and it will slowly start to consume me until I feel nothing. I write so I can feel again.

Numb

K Apr 2017

Numb

My mind is numb.
That little voice in my head is gone.
Silenced
By the ineluctable feeling
Of being
nonexistent.

A Bid Farewell

K Apr 2017

A Bid Farewell

It's hard to see you go
It's hard to say goodbye
But you know...
Saying Goodbye,
it's only truly painful
If you're certainly certain
you'll never say hello again.

The goodbye,
It's not what will hurt us the most
But the flashbacks that which follow it
Will be the cause of our distress.
Your mother, your father and your sister
Will be a total mess.

But everything will be a-okay
This is your first step of the way
Of becoming independent.
We knew this day would come
So enjoy your freedom from home
For the time you will stay,
In your new, less ***** home
We will miss you each and everyday.
