Dear love,
I gave you all my heart
My time
My devotion

Dear love,
You started off right
gave me affection
peace of mind
and the warmth of your heart

Now here we are apart
because the love we shared was false
an illusion of the heart
torn by reality
the bitter sweet insanity
goodbye to you my love
at peace I am for once

Dear Love,
dont cry...your tears they fabricate these lies that are....
Dear Love,
Know that, I gave you everything with no return
Theres a time when I once believed the words you said
But know I know im better off this way
without a love that was never there

Now here we are apart
because the love we shared was false
an illusion of the heart
torn by reality
the bitter sweet insanity
goodbye to you my love
at peace I am for once

Now here I write this song
Alone and happy for once
The illusion of this heart
Broken by the reality of our insanity
goodbye my love
I wish you all the luck
at best I wish you peace...

Dear love,
know that...I loved you once...but now I know its false....

I lay in bed
Remembering the day
My gut churns and my chest aches
My tears roll in, putting me ocean deep
Tasting the salts of the waters that came from me

Love is a war
That I’d rather not fight
A bloodless battle
With a shattered heart
A single person
To damage my life
Broken in two like a fool
I’ve lost…

The days run long
The nights are hopeless
Writing songs so that one day
You know the pain you caused
Lost and resigned
I drink until I no longer fight it

Love is a war
That I would rather not fight
A bloodless battle
With a shattered heart
A single person
To damage my life
Broken in two like a fool
I’ve lost….

The loss of passion
The ache of pain
So much’s been lost
So little gained
need an improvement
I want to be sane
Away from these memories
That cant be erased

My spirit is wounded
My hope has been lost
The smile I once had
forever gone
Tears on my pillow
Scars on my skin
The loss of the innocence
I once had within

I cry to the heavens
And beg to the gods
To give back a little of me
Of what I was once
The strength inside me
The love I had then
beauty and confidence
Of my innocent days

My spirit is wounded
My hope has been lost
The smile I once had
forever gone
Tears on my pillow
Scars on my skin
The loss of the innocence
I once had within

I stay awake and I pray
For the mess I became
Urging gods to erase
The mistakes that I’ve made
Craving poisons everyday
To forget all my pains


I know im fighting
A war against these monsters….
A long lost battle
To the demons in this bottle
One that only I will mourn
In this building hollow
Where my sorrows follow

In silence I lay
These tears I’m fearing
So I pray to forget
The regrets that I’m feeling
The poison I crave it keeps on creeping
So I cave and I pray
Yet this pain it remains

I know im fighting
A war against these monsters….
A long lost battle
To the demons in this bottle
One that only I will mourn
In this building hollow
Where my sorrows follow

I tried to **** my pain
And only brought more
I start dying and Im falling
Lonesome regrets...and dismay

Im crying, trying
Feeling lonely
Breathing, being
Pure emptyness
In the clouded haze
Will I live another day?
Can I survive the day?

Conflicted by my hearts desire
Fueled by my hollow mind's fire
Will I survive the day?
Can't stand the voices in my head

I'm trying, crying
Feeling so lonely
Breathing, being
So empty
In my clouded haze
Will I live another day?
Can I survive the day?

Where can I find my power?
There is where I will stand free
From these chains of solitude
And this crucifix of agony
By letting you take control
And pave the road to truly be free
We will conquer this insanity
And you will lead me to serenity

I'm crying, trying
For lifted spirirts
Breathing, being
No longer empty
Will you make this haze fade?
Clear these clouds from my day?
Will you let me live today?
This poem was inspired by the break between my spiritual side and my physical. I am currently in rehab and recently relapsed about a month ago. In that time I sat down and put words together to figure out where things went wrong.  The answers to my questions were in this poem before i finalized it. Here is the finished work

Here I am in spite of things
lost within all the debris
drowning in the deep black sea
reaching for some sanity
reaching for, the clarity...

Shackled to my own body
I cant break free...
And I tried, yeah I tried
But these days are black...
And I'm blind, Here I cry
These tears wont dry
Here I am...
Broken by the night

There I am...
cleaning up the mess I've made
drowning deep...
in a sea of whiskey
smoke fogging up the clarity
pop this pill to ease insanity

Shackled to my own body
I cant break free...
And I tried, yeah I tried
But these days are black...
And I'm blind, Here I cry
These tears wont dry
Here I am...
Broken by the night

In my slumber

the heavens release

this vision, a nightmare

a prophetic dream

the muses deny me

the inspiration I seek

These gods, they leave me

as I wake from my sleep

This faith is no more

In defiance, I'm torn

left all alone

In this jaded world.

Heaven is destroyed

In this vision quest of gore

My salvation's a joke

But with no remorse

To defy the lords

With this faith no more

In defiance, I'm torn

left all alone

without a soul
