For
woolgather Apr 2016
For
I saw you smile that day,
Love soon overcame me.
Obtusely, I ignored this feeling;
Viewed it as nothing but wrongs.

Endlessly, I pondered your presence,
Your name, your voice, your everything.
Oaths are not one of my afflictions, yet
Under you, I'd swear upon my life.

A marvel, you truly are. However,
Lost is me between my thoughts;
Jousting is my pride, and my heart,
Overwhelming are one another.

Nights and days,
I am waked to the thought of you.
Am I to be like this, eternally?
Leaving my young heart insane?

Why? Why do I feel this way?
Adages are not enough for my toilsome affection;
Yes, I am afflicted by my affections,
Sounds contradictory, but true.

Wailing is my heart, truly,
I am desperate for you.
Lest would you privilege me of reading this ode,
Lest you privilege my aching heart.
I know it won't be real, I know it can never be real. But ****, you just make me feel so ******* crazy.

Sympathy to Recover
woolgather Apr 2016
From the eyes of a nobody,
Wits of  a deranged,
I speak reality, though not clearly,
That one like you be saved.

If sympathy is what you seek,
Seek not to strain your soul;
Though you do not feel at world's peak,
I will do nothing but condole.

I have been where you are today,
And, frankly, have never left;
I had mistaken that the right thing was to lead astray,
Now I missed Love's theft.

A cluster of words,
Seems meaningless to some;
I do not aim to be absurd,
I just wish to conjure a soothing hum.

I have never known you,
Nor have seen you, even once;
I merely tell that , even you are not my ou,
You're not alone in these wretched runs.

In time you will ease,
Even the darkest of your fears.
And you will earn peace,
After the myriad of tears.

I am but a stranger,
Yet I feel the same as you,
We will battle the Alleger,
We will battle like we all do.

Dear Fallen One, I hope you can read this,
And get what I transpire;
Don't worry if they won't stop the hiss,
Because one day, they will tire.
We have all been there, and some are still there, Fallen One. I hope this can give you even a little shine of light.

Cheers from somewhere in the world.

Paradox of Affection
woolgather Apr 2016
Fate seemed to be dumbfounded,
Letting us cross our paths that day.
Since then, You never came off my head,
Such as a memory;
To good to pass off,
Yet too painful to be kept.

You were an enigma:
A close acquaintance,
But a mysterious person.
I wanted to know you better,
Yet my cowardice didn't let me.
Anonymity was made my only choice;
Here it is.

I have the slightest of clues,
Maybe, it's uncanny.
You struck me, in the calmest of storms.
You make my thoughts insane,
You set my heart ablaze.
You, made me feel, different.

I'm not so sure, however,
If I am to use that Word;
I am far too scared to,
And too weak to tell you.
It's ironic: you make me joyous,
And you also make me melancholic.

The clock will never stop ticking.
Time, yet again, I wasted on nothing.
But I digress;
This hollowness I feel, is fulfilling.
Alas, I'll say it now:
I dedicate this to you, my Someone...
I don't know why I started loving this person, and I think I'll never stop doing so...

The Whisperer
woolgather Apr 2016
He knows your joys,
He knows your sadness.
He knows your vulnerabilities,
He knows your helplessness.
He comes in close, he comes in quickly.
He, the Whisperer.

His face is covered in darkness,
Nothing to be seen but a sinister smile;
Dressed in your clothing,
Dressed in who you are.
You cannot outrun him, nor can you **** him.
He, the Whisperer.

He is a reflection in a broken mirror,
Twisted upon everything you are.
He slowly creeps, upon your ears,
Reciting your worst fears.
You cannot escape his trances,
He, the Whisperer.

He feeds upon your worsts,
He grows in your chaos.
He chuckles when you cry,
His laughter, growing louder, and louder.
You cannot make him cease,
He, the Whisperer.

He appears when you least expect him,
He vanishes when you stir insane;
Insane with anger,
Insane with sorrow.
He manipulates you endlessly,
He, the Whisperer.

He'll never go away.
He'll never be astray.
He'll be wherever you are.
He'll be the man behind the strings.
He'll make you bend to his will.
He, the Whisperer.
I guess, this is depression...

Delusional
woolgather Jan 2016
Sitting down on untouched chairs,
Crying under the barren moonlight;
Sulking on memories that never happened;
Like coffee getting cold as time passes by.

Spinning around endlessly
In the corridors of longing;
I plea to find the exit to my madness;
The light to my darkness.

Everywhere I look, haunting faces mock me,
Of the memories I've held on for too long;
Memories that are far to unspeakable to be real;
Like an image of pure imagination.

Damnation caresses my cheek
Offering me a baragin;
With deadened eyes, I responded.
I gave in.
Still wothless.

Lacrimosa
woolgather Dec 2015
Oblivion awaits
Sadness obligates
"O, ****** soul, be vanquished!"
The Lacrimosa dictates.

No bouquet ever darker,
No flower ever, grieving;
"Not beauty" it begs to differ;
The Lacrimosa wanes.

He stands in the fields
He plucks the dying,
The clouds darken
His already pitch-black eyes.

"Lacrimosa," he asks:
"Why so weak?"
"I am but saddened," says he.
To see Lacrimosa, bowing on nothing.

"Leave me be!" Lacrimosa exclaims.
As she lies on the meadows.
"What fate dictates, what fate begets."
As the hopeless Lacrimosa whimpers softly.

"Then, to leave, I shall."
"Then, to sleep, you will."
"O Lacrimosa, I am saddened,"
To see Lacrimosa gone.

Forsaking forgets
Regretting begets
"Not beauty, but harsh truth."
Lacrimosa says her last words.
People don't really get to value what matters most.

Shore
woolgather Dec 2015
Wave by wave
Coast by coast
The clear sea dances.
Grace and simplicity
Envelopes the scenery
Of the grim and dark day.

The wind breezes
The smell of sea.
Nostalgia overcame me
Of the fate I suffered:
The fate of a tortured soul
On that grim and dark day.

A voice soon whispers
To my endless whimpers
The skies cried for me;
I failed to bare
I stepped on no ground
On that grim and dark day.

Cold waters embraced me
Gloominess surrounds me
What am I to oversee?
Out of sans
They tried to cage me
On that grim and dark day.

I open my eyes
There I am, back again
On the grim and dark day.
Grace and simplicity
Overcomes this treachery
As tears stream down my face.
Feel free to interpret it however you like.

I cannot determine what I truly feel
What feels like a burn in my chest
Like a stake to the heart, difficult to heal
I will say, it has got me best.

I traverse my mind, dazed and confused
Of why I let you into my heart
I just succumbed to your silent tortures, plundered, abused
To your pleasures, I was badly hurt.

Do I really deserve this kind of pain?
I'm just a wandering soul, searching for love
Now the sun always hides, prevailing, the rain,
Like a caged, innocent dove.

Dramatic, yes, Idiotic, why not?
I just need to state my feelings.
I can't stand to wait, for my thoughts to rot
I only have losses, never winnings.
I just feel so ******* confused right now. I can't make up my feelings for someone.

There and Back Again
woolgather Sep 2015
You would say that I was your friend
And I would let it slip away;
But as of what you did, you tore me apart
And you put my trust in the fray.

Why wouldn't you tell me our problem?
Is it because it's hard to explain?
Do you really have to see me beteem;
To sit while I cower in pain?

I try to forgive what you did wrong
And forget all of your foul doings;
But once it subsides, it won't be for long
You'll harm in colossal helpings.

I would want to erase you from my reality
But here I am, trying to understand;
I find you sadly, I give you pity
I think you, from the norm, againstand.

You would say that I am your friend
And even though you bug me such;
But as of what you did, I just try to mend
And think it's just a little, even though it's too much.
I'm just very ******* ****** by somebody I shouldn't mention...

It Stung
woolgather Sep 2015
It felt like a million needles poking,
A forest of a thousand trees burning,
Harsh waters rapidly flowing;
A dangerous thought that was quite provoking.

I have never felt a sensation like this
'Twas more of a torture than it was bliss;
A truth running amok and amiss;
The uproar caused by lust's kiss.

As I succumb into its chambers
I stayed below more than above;
It greeted me, though it knew I was a goner:
"Welcome to the prison of love.

Between The Lines
woolgather Aug 2015
Nobody tries to understand me
Believing that my smile's just worth happiness
My guilty haven, dark and gloomy
They can't see beyond the border, my sadness

A soul that's too weak to fight
The person who just lets what he wants disappear into thin air
A sentence that can't be fixed by however or despite
The person who never felt the true meaning of "fair."

In this never-ending spiral of sin and judgement
Where am I to be placed?
A soul meant to live with torment
Can I never be erased?

Life may be real, life may be earnest
But for me, it never was;
"Death is rightful for me to behest"
Let my silver, turn to rust.

My Epitomy of Grief
woolgather Aug 2015
Woe is the ballad that fills my soul
It completes my ruthless eternity;
Like a bird on a tree, the food on one's bowl
Among all the nonsense that there is to be;

Being a second option,
A scapegoat to all your problems;
An existence worth giving oblivion;
The black sheep of the perfect system.

Not tears, nor even happiness
Is a solution to my melancholy,
The darkness that lie within my heart;
A hatred that cannot be quenched by anybody.

My screams cannot be heard
My conscience has been sewn;
I am but the world's breakdown;
A creation unhewn.

In these words, entwined
Something to keep everyone reminded
A message for anyone to find
A being's life, tormented.
Please be considerate. It's my first try on writing a poem about what I really want to say. But feel free to give your comments. :)
