I have a rage inside me that cannot be measured

And a love inside me that cannot be fathomed

If I cannot indulge in one,

I will fall into the other

Endlessly
Rhet Toombs Jan 2015
It happened one night
Amongst the cheers and patterns of conversations
Love turned to hate
Thought you could be alive again
But when you turned the handle
You misplaced one thing
And in turn the past could prove
When you murdered me
You forgot about the blood stains
That were left on your memory
And in this way,
I can never die

I didn't know anything about a ******
I was called from sleep to be told your love had died
The lanes and lights passing you by
But your path never strayed
Your mind became lost
Because the enduring sounds of the waves
Kept you up at night
I'm still here
And now, a knock resonates at my motel door
Rhet Toombs Jan 2015
Your lungs keep steady rhythm
But let your hands shake
Passing by the moonlit streets
I will let you lie restless
And hope that you're okay
Second level parking
I wait for you there
Like a moth to light

You will always adore her
Always
Even with her hands around your throat
Especially then
A ton of love
Soon to be followed
A ghost
Rhet Toombs Jan 2015
Twirling, swirling, killing time
It's midnight as I wait for you
Sixty odd days to go
Driving
Being ripped apart
Birthday lunch next door
Invisible empire
My high-school crush
And then, I said:
That's how you dance,
With lit cigarette in hand

— The End —
