Awake
Nathan Nov 2013
Awake
Shake dreams from your hair
My pretty child
My sweet
And seize the day
And seize the sign of your day
The days divinity
First thing you see

Awake
From the lands of slumber
Shake the sands from your eyes
My dear little indigo
An angel you are

I will wait
I will stay in this state
Be it moments
Or lifetimes
I will find you again

Patience is virtue
And love conquers all
There is blood in my veins
Like the summer to fall

Winter gives way to spring
And those who have voice
Will rejoice and sing
And those praises will rain
Like the sweet summer storms

The parched earth of my heart
Will grow flowers

Broken
Nathan Aug 2016
Just when I thought my heart could take no more
It shattered like so many thoughts on the wind
Now the pieces are scattered and I can't find even half of them
Sad? You ask me
No this is much much more like dead
Inside
And so, by and by this poor world loses a
Little bit more light

The cruel
Nathan Nov 2013
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

A locked room
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

Once there was
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

Addiction
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

Moment (1)
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

Sleep
Nathan Dec 2013
I want to sleep
Till the moment comes
When I am needed again
I want to hope
But
Lack the strength

Need
Nathan Nov 2013
I need love like a hole in the head
But I'd love you like the ocean loves the shore
I'd pull down the stars and fly to the moon
But I just can't be here
Anymore

So a bright little light
Will fade from this world
A listening ear no more

I tried so hard
I gave it my best
But now I am
Nevermore

wrong turn
Nathan Sep 2014
Don't worry
He said
I always know
Exactly where to go
When I'm at my last
Moment

Moment(2)
Nathan Jul 2016
There comes an awful moment
Eyes open, soul closed
Love turns off like a brand new faucet
Not even a drip left behind

How is it possible
To shatter me so completely
I must have given you permission
Somewhere along the way


You took my kindness
Like the scarf of a clown
I am a hallow man
225 · Nov 2013
I had a heart once
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

Untitled
Nathan Jul 2016
My face is burning
From the trails of too many tears
Raw and red cascading

She trails the darkness
Through my mind
And preys on my fear
  That im fading

Maybe there was a moment
But likely there was none
Raw and red cascading
The trails of tears do run

— The End —
