Gold at the end of the rainbow
Smoke flowing out of the fire
Rain falling from dark clouds
Washing away what's left of desire
True Red, bleeding out blood
True Blue, tears soaked through
Truly Purple, royal people,
Brains and thoughts all their own
Yet becoming more the unknown
Less in life, more in death
Gotta die,  
Before someone hears your breath.
Words mean nothing
If their still here to write more
When they're gone
"Quoth the Raven 'Nevermore'"

blythe
It has been quite a long while
Since I last saw you
And last talk with you.
Inside me, I know it hurts
But this is the right thing to do.
There has never been a day that passed
That I have not thought of you;
Reminiscing those days I have spend with you;
The way you make me smile,
The way my heart beat fast when you're near,
The way you wrap me in your arms,
The way you say  the words "I love you".
You've filled me with love and joy before
And that's what my heart is now yearning for.
I want to move on
But I just can't,
'Coz without you,
I feel like there's a hole deep within my heart,
Which makes me feel incomplete inside.
I'm still hoping that one day,
We could be together again,
And continue to share the love we once had
Until the very end.

a sober rooftop and the city skyline**

I hope to never feel this view again
twilight drifting overhead inevitable
still not enough space to hold this heartache
   not enough space to capture this silence
I saw the city collapse in mere seconds
bulldozed by a swift five words
then the silence...

                              ...the silence was an eternity
by the time I responded
  you were gone
  along with everything we ever built
only the stars and I remained
but there was nothing left to wish for
nothing
     but a stiff drink
This is fictional
