Here to Stay
 Sep 2013 Shadow
John
Life is just a thing that we endure
All the hurt, the pain, the deception, the insanity
Is all just a test, it's just a stage
A phase, at the end of which, we emerge
Always victorious, yes, we reached the horizon
But always also, we carry what we've seen, we've heard
We wear what we've felt
These things become our badges
They become our signature
They embed themselves in our very conscience
And no one can ever take them away
Good or bad, always, always here to stay

soul in torment
come let me lead you through my mind
where angels tremble in their sleep
for fear the waking makes them blind
within the darkness dank and deep
the shadows skulk and hiss and scream
and reach for me with outstretched hands
with greed they feast upon my dreams
and run amok in fallen sands
they know my name the one I keep
within a jar beside my bed
along with tears I've yet to weep
and words as yet I have not said
they'll come for me if er' I rest
and let my guard so foolish fall
but yet I have to pass the test
though mine own fear doth me appall
so walk my mind but be aware
to never stray from well worn path
for if you do your soul they'll snare
and you shall feel their pain and wrath
for broken minds ner' know no peace
no glue nor tape can ever mend
so run away my hand release
forsake me now I beg their friend.
Daemons is proper spelling of demons

Hello?
No, my monster replied.
Too formal.
Hi?
But why, my monster replied.
I need a reason.
Excuse me miss,
Got the time?
Why am I so nervous?
This should be easy.
How could I possibly ***** up this?
Just go say something.
Anything.
Compliment her?
That'll seem weird, my monster replied.
She'll think you're a creep.
I'm just trying to say hi.
What kind of person can't start a simple conversation?
My monster replied.
Me.
That's who.
And you know why?
I replied..
because of you.

There's something.
I feel it
In her bones,
Beneath her skull.
A sharp pain.
It's physical.
I don't know
What it is.
I worry.
I hurt.
Something's there
Like it just
Shot her in the head
It hurts
A lot.
What is it?
Help me.
Help her.

They say
I'm always there
For you
But
I haven't.
I left you, for
Years

I haven't done
Anything but
Stand there

My attempts to
Save you
Have only
Deepened the wound

You're strong,
Very.

I just hope,
In your current state,
You'd still make it through
Morning

I'm sorry
I've failed you again.
I slipped and
Let it out.

She'd probably be
Worrying now...

I was supposed to make sure
She was happy,
Okay and carefree

But
I slipped and
Who knows,
She might know.

I too hope
You will
Really
Be fine.

Oh why won't you
Let me in?
Why won't you
Let me save you?

Yes, I do love talking
To her,
Making her happy
I know you'd be happy
But
Why have you chosen

This way?
F.
When you're done with crying,
You've got to get up and keep trying.
Fight with the demons inside,
Who make you feel like you want to die.
Feel like you're never good enough,
But you are, it's true.
So get up and try,
Go on and fight.

Walking through the mall,
Passing shops,
Passing thoughts,
Attempting to
Absorb everything

Keep it together, soldier

Mind racing with questions,
Heart beats faster,
Too fast
Too fast
Too fast

Shut it!

World starts to spin
Cold sweat all over
The dying feeling
Anxiety?
Depression?

Or just dying?

Slamming against wall,
Legs grow weak
Black spots sparkle across
The already dark skies

Must stand,
Must continue

Walking through the mall,
I must save the tears
Keep it for later
At home
In bed
Under the covers

Maybe you won't even have to,
They'll take over
You won't feel
Anything
Anything
Anything...

Yet you'd feel
Everything
Everything

*Everything

I wish i knew you then,
where have you been, my friend,
i'll carry you in my pocket,
closest to my heart,
you'll never be forgotten,
i want you with me always,
keep you safe and warm,
no other can be of harm to you,
i love you truly, honest.
my name is yours to keep,
hold it against me if need be,
love, you're mine,
i'll give you all of me in time,
i never want me back,
i trust you fully,
my heart's for you.
