Shiny Star Jan 2018
A new reason to live and die for
A new world that could be mine
A new viewpoint to look from
A new way to look at the world
were all he gifted me when I asked.
Long unanswered questions
swirling in my head everyday
leaving me wondering sleepless
Answered by him in a few hours.
The moments I spent with him,
listening to his flowing words,
were the most enchanting times,
Even though they were ephemeral.
He disappeared in a puff of smoke,
leaving behind a souvenir of words,
when I thanked him for being there.

Take my heart away
Place it in an envelope
Mail it today
No return address
It's no longer worth the pain
Suffering each day
So take my heart away
Send it to whoever
Just let me feel numb
From now until forever
Jewel M C Jan 2018
sometimes I just wanna get up & leave
everything behind me
just to forget
who I used to be,
get out there
there's a whole world to see

Break it up.
Pack the bowl.
Spark.
Inhale.
Exhale.
I exhale you, in a cloud of smoke.
I get a deep sinking feeling in my chest, like rocks have been placed in my lungs.
******.
This isnt what i expected it to be like.
Silent.
I can hear the coyotes howling.
I fear even they know the inevitable.
Crack.
Everyone knows stone breaks with time.
Careless.
I carelessly aloud you to pick at the cracks.
My wall, made of stone, deteriorating before my eyes.
Empty.
No regard, i wasnt what you were hoping to discover.
Rather than shiny riches, i was an ancient artifact.
Too frail to be touched, too worn to be understood.
Gone.
Just like that, you disappear.
Who knew smoke clouds held such emotions.
******.
My late night thoughts of you
Samantha Dec 2017
Is it something?
Everything?
All there is?
In this simulation
We call life,
Anything's possible.
An infinite echo.
A forever-ticking clock.
A perfectly sharp blade.
A rope, rough and ready.
She hangs it up.
To hang a picture.
A picture for HIM.
For us.
For everyone.
Echo,
          echo,
                    echo,
       ­   echo,
gone.
Monika? Is that you?
Svode Dec 2017
Lose me to the wind,
as your lights go dimmed.
Lose me to the soil,
as your life becomes toil.
Lose me to the sea,
as you post your decree.
Lose me to the sky,
as you say goodbye.
Lose me to the time,
as you hate your crimes.

I'm lost.
Zero Nine Dec 2017
Start, like another
End, like every other
Alone, UtI, spinning web
Like I believe I'm the spider
The weaver, weaving, tearing down
Start today
End tonight

Under the influence for years
I'll never pronounce it wrong
I start like another
I end like every other

While I wasted the time waiting for you to leave
I never once thought I would commit arson
Burn the memories we made
(Though, I did)

(I saw the start and new the end)
Zero Nine Nov 2017
Broke, sitting with half plate
Pasta, butter, spice
Shuffle through my old clothes
I used to look nice

What is nice, but smaller?
Smaller, smaller, still
String bean and potatoes
Go fine together

The grocer tries to tell me,
"Divide, conquer, divide."
"What is nice, but smaller?"

I guess the grocer's right
