Something Out of Nothing
Robert Morales Sep 2016
I didn't even know
I was feeling all alone
This heaviness of fear
That you weren't even near
Should have struck me
I knew I should have said goodbye
But we kept on striding by
Knowing there's no future
In you by my side

I kept trying
Thinking that together
You and I could make it better
But we can't make out something out of nothing
I gave you my entire world
While you slammed me out of yours
This was never going to be something more than just a passing

When conversations die
The whispers in the skies
Tell me you're not really by my side
A kiss I once adored
Became empty and so cold
I didn't shed a tear
Once it all became so clear

I kept trying
Thinking that together
You and I could make it better
But we can't make out something out of nothing
I gave you my entire world
While you slammed me out of yours
This was never going to be something more than just a passing

When we finally said goodbye
There was pain across the night
But sensed relieve across the skies
Another failure to endure
Yet I'll make it through once more
At least we're both not secretly unhappy

Walk Away
Robert Morales Sep 2016
I knew I lost you
When your behaviors different
As your calls became infrequent
I became indifferent to you
The words you uttered to me
Felt empty, the love you claimed
Felt forced and pained

I don't know why we keep playing...
These game of lies
I'm trying to figure out
Why we still stay...
Is it the promises we made?
I'd rather you walk away.

I knew I had lost you
When you distanced away
When you once told me "we're better off friends"
Then you came running
Talking about working things out with me
When I should have known
There's nothing to work on
*** the love you claim is empty
A mere fantasy you want to play out

I don't know why we keep playing...
This fantasy of love
I'm trying to figure out
Why I still stay...
I don't want to force you to the promises we made
I'd rather we just walk away

You Are...
Robert Morales Apr 2015
You are my smile
You are my bliss
You are the reason for which I live
I chase you down
I seek you out
Of you...I could never get enough

I crave that moment
I can no longer seize
Expecting fruits
From these demons in me
You once gave me courage
Where now, I'm fueled by fear
You feed on my hunger
The hunger to feel you in me

You are my sorrow
You are my pain
You are my scars
I stare at in a daze
You are my calling
You fueled my cries
You bring that rush
From head to spine
Down to my toes
Right through my core
I no longer have control

I crave that moment
I can no longer seize
Expecting fruits
From these demons in me
You once gave me courage
Where now, I'm fueled by fear
You feed on my hunger
The hunger to feel you in me

I love you
I hate you
There's such a thin line
You are the struggle I go through
Everyday and Every night

The Man I Became
Robert Morales Jan 2015
I was lost and broken
Living in fear
Shamed and shackled
Left without tears
Starved for salvation
This painful desperation
I’m stuck in remorse
Ravaged and torn
I’m begging for hope

When all the doors seem to close in
And the lights start to fade
When the muses stop whispering
That inspiration I crave
When the shadows deceive me
And my reflection displays
A monster, A demon
That’s the man I became

I was dazed and confused
Didn’t know what’s true
Couldn’t see clearly
I was torn in two
My innocence is fighting
But cant break through

As the doors seem to close in
And the lights start to fade
When the muses stop whispering
The inspirations I crave
The shadows deceive me
And my reflection displays
That monster, The demon
The man I became
This is the emotions I went through as I was head deep in my addiction

Blinded ©
Robert Morales Oct 2014
Every time that I try
For every moment
For every chance
I come so close
But then lose hope
I lose control
I lost the hold of understanding
All these twists
All these turns
This jaded curse
That I've been handed
I've now been blinded...

Within myself
I find it hard to realize...
The wrong I've done
Didn't come without a price
And now i'm paying
With the burden and the guilt inside
This pain has left me without sight

I want to see
I want to breathe
I wanna live
Without it all
Hurting within
So many days
So many hours
So much I've lost
By being blinded

Within myself
I find it hard to realize..
This pain inside is part of everything that I've done
I've lost the hope that kept me going every day and night
Theres no control all this remorse has got me
Blinded....

Purest Pain ©
Robert Morales Sep 2014
If I gave you the world
You would throw  it back
Out of spite you'd snap my heart in half
You hold the power…
To storm over my soul
You hold the power
To make me whole

This is what's in store
For the rest of my life
The purity of a love  
That I will never have
My heart chose you…
And it doesn't want another
Even though it knows …
For it, you hold no desire

I always kept guarded
But you broke through these shackles
And left me exposed
To a hellish storm
For this love I hold is the purest of pains
Though I keep fighting for your love
To come through my way

This is what's in store
For the rest of my life
The purity of a love  
That I will never have
My heart chose you…
And it wont give it self to another
Even though it knows…
For it, you hold no desire

Wakening ©
Robert Morales Sep 2014
Within my desire

Beyond my convictions

I feel I have fallen

Much more that I've risen

With much more at stake now

Yet with little strength

How will I get to the point to ascend?

And to believe my heart will follow

Would show my ignorance is bliss

I must not deceive myself

And dig me deeper into the abyss

For today will be the wakening

Of my ever hurting soul

And in my eyes you all will see

The difference that has come in me

And in my pain

I'll try and be the best person that I can be

With this little strength

And little hope

I will make myself rise once more

Stitches ©
Robert Morales Sep 2014
To have loved you
There was many reasons why...
But it's hard to believe
That you only get one love in life...
So much is missing
From this brokenhearted man
Its been said that time heals
Yet it hasn't begun to start to patch

Even though that life has broke it
The heart refuses to believe its time to fold it
Even though I keep on trying to free it and mold it...
The time we had has left its stitches to hold it

For every moment
though some so pointless...
With all the problems
And all the cries
I still spend all my days and nights...
With the very thought of you in mind
Trying to rip the stitches you have left inside

Even though that life has broke it
The heart refuses to believe its time to fold it
Even though I keep on trying to free it and mold it...
The time we had has left its stitches to hold it

Rebirth ©
Robert Morales Sep 2014
To my desire
My dreaded dreams
My Fearful sorrows that never leave
To my soulless body thats torn to bits
I see the darkness from within
My sleep devours me
Yet I believe
The light Betrays me
I yearn to breathe
The air is toxic
the ocean's deep
I drown in the bitterness of the sea
To the skies of Infinity
The heavens of love
Here I strip my flesh to you and bare it all
no secrets be left untold
I fear no more
To you I cry
For me I mourn
Im buried within the mothers womb
nourished by her greatest fruits
Watching and waiting
The Rebirth begins
Here I am...a whole new me...

Reflections Deception ©
Robert Morales Sep 2014
Here I fear
What fears bring me
I Find a way
A way to be
Wasted time
That gods gave me
Lived a lie
The lie killed me

Reflections found my mortality
Deceptions made my insanity
I've been cheated out of morality
Forsaken
Mistaken
My Serenity Taken


Pray for the way
But the smoke fogs the day
Thunderstorms showering pain
Draining into my veins
Feeling it's heat rush
Flush through my face
Waiting for the silence to break
Fear and resistance
Are all that's left

Reflections found my mortality
Deceptions made my insanity
I've been cheated out of morality
Forsaken
Mistaken
My Serenity Taken

Black ©
Robert Morales Sep 2014
I’ve been staring at a mirror for sometime
Seeing something so distorted
I didn’t realize what it was
It was myself
This reflection’s black
I lost my pride
How can I get it back?
When I’m black inside

Haunting demons taking over my life
Lost all faith I’m powerless to take it back…
How can I feel?
More than hate in myself
How can it be?
That I lost what’s in me
I’m black inside…

Every morning I feel empty
The voices cry
Drive me crazy, but there’s plenty to deal inside
Here is the time that slowly passes by
Here I am now ignoring all the signs
I’m black inside
Cried inside….
I’m Dead inside…

Haunting demons taking over my life
Lost all faith I’m powerless to take it back…
How can I feel?
More than hate in myself
How can it be?
That I lost what’s in me
I’m black inside…

Prison ©
Robert Morales Sep 2014
Afraid to walk out the door
And step into the world
A reminder of how I loathe
This life that I hold
My scars left open
This heart has kept broken
In this prison of my own
Darkness that I know

Finding no salvation
Within my own mistakes
Hollow is the silence
Coming from my pain
Sorrow is my madness
This madness I can’t escape
Misery is the prison
This prison that I made…

My reflection is my enemy
As I don’t know the man it shows
I plea for some serenity
The plea is a sign of hope
I’m tired of the chains of sadness
I wrapped all on my own

Finding no salvation
Within my own mistakes
Hollow is the silence
Coming from my pain
Sorrow is my madness
This madness I can’t escape
Misery is the prison…

This prison that I made
Robert Morales Sep 2014
Time after time
you realize the things you do
Often you wish you could undo
I realized I run through these clouds
And I could never find the sun
That's when it's said,
"you are strong, You keep up, no more cries"

So day and night I go...
I smile, I laugh, I mourn
But as I run towards the moon
It never lights the darkness of my pain
Through this rain...
My tears fade
My fears gained...

There comes a time
When you awake and the days all blend
Everything's faded by the clouds
So you rise again...
pretending everything's okay
Just to be dropped by a storm of another form

So day and night we go ...
we smile, we laugh, we mourn
This moon's light never known
Fighting our way through this spiral of remorse
Through this rain...
My tears fade...
My fears gained...

"don't you stop, you'll be fine, you'll get by" ...

Dear Love ©
Robert Morales Sep 2014
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....

Shattered ©
Robert Morales Sep 2014
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 Within ©
Robert Morales Sep 2014
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

War ©
Robert Morales Sep 2014
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

Haze
Robert Morales Aug 2014
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...
Robert Morales Jul 2014
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

Defiance
Robert Morales Jul 2014
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

Running Wild
Robert Morales Jul 2014
Have you ever felt so defeated?
Can't get past that shadow's line?
Ever sit and wonder what's the reason?
Yet know you shouldn't ask why?
I never should have asked why.

My thoughts are running wild
And my heart is caving in
I'm losing all my faith
And I'm breaking from within
I'm reaching for my soul
And its fading really quick
I don't want to give up and die

Loneliness has always been my demon
Even in a crowd of love
Heartache is the only thing I'm feeling
These feelings, they won't subside
I'm begging for my own life

My thoughts are running wild
And my heart is caving in
I'm losing all my faith
And I'm breaking from within
I'm reaching for my soul
And its fading really quick
I don't want to give up and die

I don't want to...
give up and die

Alone
Robert Morales Jul 2014
To see ahead of what will be
A future so hallow
There’s no relief
The joys of sanity
I yearn to keep
Madness surrounds me
No sins redeemed

In hands of gods
Who don’t exist
In the prayer of saints
Of false beliefs
I fall alone in this abyss
These prayers in vain
Alone I’ll be

Like a rock to a window
I’m shattered to bits
My heart it forfeits its constant beat
Like a moth to a flame
Hate follows me
A constant black hole
I’ll always live

In hands of gods
Who don’t exist
In the prayer of saints
Of false beliefs
I fall alone in this abyss
These prayers in vain
Alone I’ll be

Alone I’ll live
Alone….
I’ll cease

The Courage
Robert Morales Jul 2014
To my faithful muses
To the bitter sea
To the wisdom of the moonlight
That shines upon me
You give me the courage
You bring me peace
From now to eternity
I pray I'll keep
To the whispering winds
And the rays from the sun
To the glitters of the stars
When I look up above
You give me the strength
The courage
The drive
To find love within myself

Goodbye
Robert Morales Jul 2014
My Intentions are fearless
My believes are strong
I sit here now, without a doubt
Prices of liberties
From my own chains
Were heavy and difficult to try and gain
Without sorrow or pitty
Without a second thought
I release myself from my burden and lust
You no longer control me
Not an emotion or thought
I now have forgotten your slightest touch
Good bye to you
My once every breath
Good bye to you
My heart and my ache.
In these words
I will find peace
In these words
I will be released

Chains
Robert Morales Jul 2014
This life has never been
what I  expected
And I will never see
my own reflection
And even though I've know
This lie I live is old
Its far too late
To break from these chains

Even with this pain
that I've kept inside
Between the here and now
In between the time
There's a void that cries
By these lies that blind
There its set engraved
That it's far too late
To break from these chains

This life will cease to be
Much as expected
Because you'll never see
My true reflection
And even though I'm scorned
That which you'll never know
That It's far too late
To break from these chains

Even with this pain
that I've kept inside
Between the here and now
In between the time
There's a void that cries
By these lies that blind

There its set engraved
That it's far too late
To break from these chains

This life has never been...
As I expected
I never meant to be...
so self deceptive
And now  its far too late...
To break this chain
This lie is too old...
It's me that I mourn....

Even with this pain
that I've kept inside
Between the here and now
In between the time
There's a void that cries
By these lies that blind

There its set engraved
That it's far too late
To break from these chains

You
Robert Morales Jul 2014
You
If it's a question of confession
I don't know how to drive
I don't know about life
I do know, that I can't survive
Without you by my side
If it's question about love.
for you i'd give my sight
for you i'd give my light
In the darkest nights you'd shine bright

Because you, my love
You're the strength behind my faith
The smile that's planted on my face
The reason why I live again
Because of you, sweet love
I learn that I could love again
I hate to say farewell to it
Because of you...

If it's a question of confession
Im the best of all cynics
I'm a complicated mess
Without you nothing's simple
If it's a question about love
For you i'd give up my voice
For you i'd give this soul
I'd even give up my ego...
On your gloomy days
i'd blow the clouds away
So you smile everyday  

Because you, my love
You're the strength behind my faith
The smile that's planted on my face
The reason why I live again
Because of you, sweet love
I learn that I could love again
I hate to say farewell to it
Because you wont...
Give up your fear and pain
Because of you...

— The End —
