Must you be so cruel
To show me what
I cannot have
I will always be the fool
With a heart stitched
On my sleeve

I'm ready to congeal
The love I often feel
To harden like a stone
And accept I am alone

To walk my path with surety
And raise my head up high
Would **** all the best in me
And my truest self would die

I would give a thousand moments
Just to give myself some peace
Die a thousand awful deaths
Just for one single solitary
Moment
Where I don't have to feel
Nathan Nov 2013
Within me lies a locked room
Often visited
Never a home
A place where I go
To be alone

But it's different then here
Out here I pretend
I smile and laugh
Imagine there's friends

I hide all the pain
Behind the smile
In my eyes
But I never plant flowers
Because everything dies

In my locked room
I feel free to mourn
To lament my existence
That I were eer born

To be born a healer
Is an unhappy fate
Although I help others
Myself I berate

I wish for the day
I could do something for me
I'd shed this mortal coil
And I would finally finally finally
Be free
Nathan Nov 2013
I find addiction in this place
Where others pain
Is as plain as my own
Each face yearns
Eyes are windows
To each soul

I found you on
Stumble upon
Mostly there from boredom
No longer able to stand
Seeking escape from my own skin

I am a creature of
Tremendous magnitude
I have a difficult time
Living in such a small space
But most of all
And it sorrows me so
I just have a difficult time
Living

But I drag myself up
Ready for another day
Nathan Nov 2013
Is it that moment
When you see ones soul
Through the vastness
Of time across chasms
Of space and you know
That there is beauty
In that single irreversible moment
Something has been touched
I must be a pane of glass
I burn so bright
In the fires of my own
Damnation
Nathan Nov 2013
I woke up again today
My head full of stones
My soul awake and screaming
My heart still broken

I look up to the stars
Jealous of the beauty
Sitting there on lofty thrones

Shining reminders
Of all that has passed
A cosmic second
Is all it takes
I shake to my core
Nathan Nov 2013
I'm trying to remember
What I was doing
Where I was going
And why I was here

I must have misplaced
My sense of purpose
Somewhere along the way

I had a heart once
And dreams you wouldn't believe
But now I'm filled with a sense of loss
And all I can do
Is grieve

— The End —
