Speaking Sorrow Aug 2016
I’ve been following a Leviathan
For the past 3 years.
I sometimes lose it
Among the deep, dark blue.
It leads me into waters
Much to dangerous for me.
It dives below for weeks at a time,
Only to resurface,
It shows me the way.
It always knows where to find me.
And I will always follow it,
If I do not change my ways.
Speaking Sorrow Aug 2016
You were just a storm
Who wanted people to stop and gaze
At the way you light up the sky
With your outbursts of anger and fear
You wanted us to forget the fact
That you sank ships in the wake
Of your anger
And you wanted us to continue to love you
No matter how bad you hurt us.
From a distance your beauty is known
And inside your eye
The light can be shone
But you destroy what’s around you.

I’ve heard tales from the deck
About the Captain on high
His hands bleed from hoisting
The main sail to the sky.
He keeps this ship moving,
leading the way.
we all get our fill
before he makes his plate.
He stays up all night,
alone in his cabin
Plotting the course
for the next day’s journey.
I wish I could say
that they were right
But this captain’s sailing
His last voyage.
It’s a race to see what will drown me first.

There’s much worse things
That I could do
Than smoke this cigarette
And think of you.
Speaking Sorrow Aug 2016
I am not a savior.
I didn’t come for you.
I came to end this.
Once and for all.
Speaking Sorrow Aug 2016
Your head is full of hopes
And dreams of another man.
I can see straight through those darting eyes
When you look at me and tell me you love me.

I can see straight through that wicked soul.

You dream all night, and I don’t sleep a wink.
You’ve turned every waking second into a nightmare.

When I return.

Oh I’ll return.
Speaking Sorrow Aug 2016
Roll the last days cigarette,
Smoke to quell the hunger.
I once drank to forget the days.

But I dare you to try to forget being murdered,
By the one who whispered ‘Forever’ in your ear every night.
