the precedent a disaster,
the future a glow
with those dreams up high falling like snow
and I'm rowing my boat
because this year I refuse to sink
last year my mind my worst nightmare
this year all I want to do is think
and earn and try
defy my mind making me want to cry
and look behind to something I want no reminder
tick tock, the timer
this year my love, I lay behind her
reaching for those stars above,
these words written, finding myself
through those past sad poems spread among my binder
i will reach for those stars in the sky until i cant fly higher
no more relying on the web, no longer a spider
but im a tiger, im the predator and these dreams are the prey
finally finding myself, it was harder than a needle in the hay

im finally finding myself, and rather than a phobia of tomorrow
that bottled up sorrow, that sad mad kid
im going for the goal
ill pull off a hat trick

A New Dawn

A New Dawn,
She lies still, in dreams
Embraced in a cocoon,
Of woven, warm blankets,
Sadness hides the beauty,
Caused by life’s caustic nature,
Sunlight creeps, like a forgotten lover
In her room,
Massages her feet,
Flushing away miles of hurt,
Embracing her hips,
Remnants of passion past,
Cuddles her *****,
Erasing her loneliness,
Caresses her neck,
Bringing her joy,
Kissing her rosy lips,
Mending her broken heart,
Wake up Beauty
It’s a new Dawn,

tumor

you are a part of me, no longer good
a malignant tumor, that's what's understood
you make me feel pain, selfish for your pleasure
I'd give up a lot, just to have you severed
because I no longer want to see you when I wake up,
I no longer want to see you when I sleep
I no longer want you to be a part of me anymore
you make me so sick I can't eat
you treat me like garbage, you throw me out cause I'm a bother
you are the filthy one, like unfiltered water
please let these thoughts of you escape me,
I'm locked in this prison and it's nothing but anxiety I'm given

I loved you once, why do I still care?
why do I see you in my mind?
I wish you weren't there
but I can't help but feed on the good
when you just feed on my sad
these memories once were good
now all they are, are bad

weak

the loneliness is akin to the air,
as close and tight as my own flesh and blood,
these veins like roots in my tree of a body
from which leaves of things sprout upon my mind;
my hands attempt to grasp that thin air
as if I had the ability to empower it,
but I'm suppressed by the notion of my own thoughts;
they stab these bars around me like a prison,
the bars slowly gravitate towards me locking in
and it's overwhelming;
my voice has as much influence as a pebble on earth
and no matter how much I may beg or scream,
it will not do a thing for me but let those bars crush me
until I am nothing but dust, nothing but a pebble on earth

childish games

childish games

our relationship is akin to an 8-year-old,
I'm warm near you, but far away I get cold,
I spy you in my thoughts, I want to hold you like a bat
let us hold each other, sitting on that grade school mat
we play hide and seek with our words, we hide our anger and seek love
and try to grip it tight like a club with a golf glove,
attempting to settle the score even if we play for fun
because we're both just trying to be each others #1
but sometimes our words fight, cops and robbers
and after we'll regret it because really, why bother
we can quote old movies, "I am your father."
until we are old, and I sat to our kids "I am your father."
let us grow old with wrinkles, our love will stay young
we can play these childish games, but with this rare love
we've already won

piece of the puzzle

her skin as smooth as the clouds look,
enticing eyes as blue as the ocean,
darling, let me go out to sail
and I don't want a map because
I am alright with getting lost in you;
let our souls go out to dance and
we can stare up into the night sky
laying side by side with nothing but
each others warmth, between us
and between us, is something special
and just as special is you to me
so if I act a fool, love
it's because I'm a fool for love
so hold my hand and bond with me
so we can lose ourselves as one
we are halves, put us together like a puzzle
and only then will you see the four letters
on display in front of you
