Speaking Sorrow Aug 2016
The Sun rises
And the Sun sets
Over the ocean.
Which is more beautiful?

The rising reminds me I haven’t slept,
And the setting is the prelude to your ghost.
Speaking Sorrow Aug 2016
Haunt me for years
I couldn’t care less
At least the old you
Wanted what was best.

Or at least you were better
At lying through your teeth
Than I am
At handling the grief.
Speaking Sorrow Jul 2016
Is he really a good man,
Like I was and hope to be,
Again?
If he is,
I hope he stays that way
And I pray
That you
Don’t turn him
Into me.
Speaking Sorrow Jul 2016
My eyes are red
And I claim it’s from
The salty waves
Mixed with the rain

But the truth is
I only cry
When it rains.

And it’s been raining
For the past five years
Speaking Sorrow Jul 2016
I’m a demon,
Lost out at sea.
A devil, whose love
turned to rage, immediately.

And I swear,
You’ll be up in flames
Before this is all over.
You’re the one to blame.
Speaking Sorrow Jul 2016
I’d die again
To see your face
And that’s the point
That I’ve been trying to prove
It’s the only reason
I’ve been killing myself
Out here on the Devil Blue
Speaking Sorrow Jul 2016
My captain taught me
That when the bottom of the sun
Rests on the edge of the horizon
The sun has already gone below

And the Darkness just takes a moment
To arrive.

Maybe that’s the way it was
With you.
