When does it become too long
Or maybe long enough?
8 years?
How many times does it have to be said?
How loud do I have to say it?
Till it echoes?

I love you

Guess 8 years is long enough
It echoed you just didn't hear
Sorry but this time goodbye
Will have been louder
Than the millions of times
I whispered, screamed, and choked
On three words that have no value
I'm sorry I wasn't good enough
Sorry I loved you the longest
The most
You were the one beam
In this vacant home
Keeping me upright
You snapped
I'm staying down
**** these emotions
They can be the dust
The wind stole when I hit the ground
It was over before love was a reality
It was over before age touched my eyes
Guess bye is the only response
I'll have for you
I love you has no meaning
No worth in both our hearts
Corpses weren't meant to breathe
So I'll let this heart stay dead

Cute subtle lips
I wonder how they taste
She's a mystery I want to solve
Her case of sweetness must be resolved
How can she be this beautiful
Yet remain with the shadows
Blending in with the perfection
Such a mystery
That is killing me
I find myself in a fantasy
Wondering how lovely she truly is
Making her smile seems simple enough
Maybe I can make her blush
With a poem about her mysterious beauty
Such a mystery
Yet an amazing girl

The walls are closing in
Breathing is is is is imposible
Stuttering on almost every word
Trying to rush what I have to say
It was never meant to end like this
I was suppose to be the one in the coffin
You were to be at home asleep
Exhausted from running
From boulder tears rolling down your cheeks
Instead I'm locked in here
In the asylum of my own thoughts
Wondering every possible way
Of how it ended with us both
Hanging from a tree
Holding hands with a corpse
I'm still han...wait I can feel it
I'm slipping away into your arms

I reached for you this morning
Smooth, soft skin usually needing my warmth
But that 5'2 angelic body was gone
Flew from the nest at the earliest hours
Between 2 and 3
I looked for you under the sheets
Hoping you didn't fall too deep into slumber
You were crying on my chest
Just before the lights went out
You signalled to me you were comfortable
As the drool fell from your slumbering mouth
Too cute is the way you sleep
Half on me while your feet dangle off the bed
So baby have a good day at work
I'll see you tonight
Come home quickly
I cooked you dinner this morning

He drank till his liver was dry
He smoked till he breathed toxins
He was a pack a day smoking alcoholic
Like a loaded 45
He had a hair trigger
Soft touch and he exploded
His fist would shoot from the sleeves of his shirt
Impaling her chest
Planting themselves in her ribs
Growing bruises on her face
She made a vow till death do they part
Not knowing it would be her death
That made him realize he needed help

I'd go to war with every god
Just to see you smile one more time
I'd spill the blood of a million
Just to save your soul
I'd set the world ablaze
Just to hear you giggle
I'd slit my own throat
Just to have you breathe a sigh of relief
I'd bath your enemies in my blood
Just to have them stop hunting you
My love their isn't anything I wouldn't do
Just to have you in the safety
Of my castle arms once again

Every tear is like a bullet
Piercing through my chest
Spiritual shadows putting holes
Where you once laid your head
The river of mascara and eyeliner
That stains your pillows
Matches the blood the floods
My once white shirt
Baby please stop crying
I still love you
Yet I know those tears aren't for me
Nor are they the keys I gave you
To the gates of my heart
They're the tears I can't wipe away
