It's midnight and you're proud

Eternity will keep

Your father only listens to perfection

Deeper infection follows

Your razor blade tongue

There are mountains that broke underneath your whispers to me
Rhet Toombs Sep 2016
Just for now

We will get out of this alive

Correct

Who you used to be

Ghosts steer me to a false past

And your face hasn't been clear since

This fogged window

A place for mourning

Insist on my departure

It's okay

And we're both afraid

And we're both apart

Can't seem to find my pace

My place

My safe way of going on

Maybe it really wasn't for me

And maybe your hand is clutching another's

I will feel rest and wither

A summer is spent on cures

Hands on my shoulders

Tell me to come in

It's all I have now

Sweet dying love

You are still the one

My body will break

Then the world will die alone

Maybe my lips will speak truthfully

Yours show pain from last year

That's why he thinks he loves you

I can feel the sadness grow tight

Lay in bed and beg for answers that only I can give

My garden grows

And you fall further, unaware
Rhet Toombs Aug 2016
I was never seen alive

An endless floor sans you

We enter emotion and hide our breathing

There is freedom here

Machines pierce seasons

Soaking core

Wishing I had closed my eyes

Forced poison

I should have known

Infinite midnight

When you start to scream it goes unnoticed
Rhet Toombs Aug 2016
You said falling felt like dreaming

We speak of holding with teeth

A warmth forms inside your chest

This death

Is the last time

Frailty

Unmatched in depth

Your eyes swell with heat

A feeling where you are already alive but people don't cry for you
Rhet Toombs Aug 2016
As a brother you may say nothing

Singing without reason

Feeling the blood hold

There was love in your eyes

Death is missing

We walk the warm night air
