He makes her stay, in his memory for yet another day,
didn't she wait, without the sign of desperation in anyway,
the world has it's callous ways, they were mute witnesses it seemed
she understood, he kept silence, hoping for the best; did he pretend?

In each garden he strolls, she appears as a flower, he struggles to forget,
in every flower he kisses she is the musky scent that makes him faint
on a rainy day, he stood enchanted, watching a peacock dance,
the eye- spots on it's feathers about her love eloquently spoke.

He lives a life went awry,can't blame it on her, she never complained,
it's him, who erred as a lover,the silent apathy that brewed destroyed,
misled by it's  blue hue he chose poison, that numbs,a grave mistake
facing mountain ranges, alone, he seeks forgiveness for his corruption.

I see the stars
They shine so brilliantly
Against the somber ebony
that is the night sky

In this scene I do find comfort
The mournful abyss calls to me
Whispering promises of felicity
Perhaps that is the reason why

The moons always fade
and the tide always washes in
so strongly that I cannot help it, but
into the unforgiving waves, I fall

I do beseech that I can live
Without the ache
Without the pain
Without the feelings at all
And the wave hits once again

Today our eyes caught the fog cradling the trees
step by step we glided over asphalt
your arm kept the chill from nipping at me
pulling me closer your warmth melted the cold slipping
under my sweatshirt and down my sleeves
but your touch permeates just below my skin
that's not saying much, it's always been so paper thin
and I can still feel winter in my bones
the more you try the less strain you show
the colder I get, the need to make your love my home
melts in my fingers and to tell you the truth
I think I preferred the snow.
we're breaking up tomorrow.
You look at the world through empty orbs,
ignoring the beauty that swells within.
Your lips work like anesthesia,
numbing your words till they have no meaning.
Sometimes I have to wonder, who you really are.
If I’d knock on you, and hear an echo,
sound bouncing off skin walls.

I want to reach down your throat and strike a match.
Ignite a fire in your gray soul. 
Fill you up with fiery flickering hues.
A passion that forces you into motion.
Awakening your mind, realizing your truth.
A yearning for life beyond just living.
I actually got inspired to write this by one of those online Title Generators. You know, the ones that you click a button and it gives you a few random titles for poems or stories? I got 'Hollow Comrade' and it inspired me to write this. Of course I took 'Comrade' out of the title because it no longer fit really. Hope you enjoy!

In the city that never sleeps
Nobody has time to dream

No one cares for the color scheme
Everybody on these streets are mean
Women over here dress to ****

Yearning for a life to steal
Outrageous trigger happy police
Ruthless, spiteful and rigorous
Kindness comes fatally priced

No time for love or paradise  
Obsessive depression is what's subsidised
Beggars on my train struggle and scuffle
Oblivious oppression lurking
Delirious children deceived  
Yesterday's conception grieved

Craving lust is a must
Ageless shame is  
Rationalized pain
Everyone here idealizes blame
S*erenity is an absentee in this chaotic city

A thousand thoughts run through my head
Impossible to decode
What they entail
Like trying to tell where a water drop fell into the oceans swell
If it's not a blur then its painful as hell
Coals placed up and down my spine
Where does anyone find the time to get their feelings in line while keeping the appearance to be fine
I often sit in the darkness with the small light of hope
My mistakes woven thick into a rope
Tied around the tree grown by the seeds sewn into my head
To seek help is to burden others
To be myself is to over think
I can only take so much more weight before i finally sink
Id rather bite the hand that feeds myself
Id rather drown slowly than ask for help
My insecurities speak louder than anything else

With this shovel passed down to me ill bury my heart mind and soul
My body will be left to decompose outside of the hole
Maybe then the child I never got to be will grow again
Maybe then the worlds worth of weights will be lifted
