you worth more than you think
you are more beautiful than you know
you are stronger than you believe

and you are loved
oh
so
loved

when will you realize
the love living within my heart
resides
survives
exists

only for you
to the one i love
even though you are unaware of my existence

static crackles in my mind-
white noise or
black hole   ?

estranged from
peace
i seek out
a lease
for my  h a p p i n e s s

before i cease
to exist.
i'm here.

O, loving silver moon

I come with one dark wish

I do not wish to die

But I don't want to exist
My minds has been in a dark place for the last few days...
I'll be working on my floral poems as I have already uploaded the prelude.

So, I sing the song,
The jubilant song,
The one I sang with you by my side
So long ago.

I lay in the place,
behind the warm oak trees,
The place I lay when you were by my side
So long ago.

I listen to nature,
the calm, surreal nature,
The nature that existed when you were by my side
So long ago.

Life has moved on from us,
You have moved on from me,

Have I moved on?

"EXIST, EXIST" screams my shape to the horizon.
"I SEE YOU, I DO" shouts the horizon to my shape.

We are lonely in each other's company,
though we are always touching.

At some point we all ask ourselves
why we do exist,
Why life keeps going on and on
until we are dismissed.

We try to create a meaning,
to the meaningless of it all,
A meaning that will help us up,
when life will make us fall.

"You have to make the most of it"
is what people say,
The most of school, the most of work
the most of every day.

The days build up to years
and time will pass us by,
We'll soon begin to wonder
if life just is a lie.

We lie when we are buying
those things we never desired,
We lie when we are living,
when all we are is tired.

Our smiles keeps fading more and more,
our laughs are never real,
We keep on dreaming of love,
yet sorrow is all we feel.

When we get old and tired
waiting  to be dismissed,
That's the time we'll question,
if we ever did exist.

lately
i am existing in places as little as possible
where you cannot find me
where every feeling is a void
where i hope to forget

here
i feel so safe
immersed within ignorance
and you cannot touch that
you cannot intrude
you cannot inflict any more hurt
because i will not let you

If I go to the only place
Our love ever existed
I would be casting shadows
Across your skin
Finding freckles with my fingertips

You'd breathe the only breath you had left
You'd shake the dust off your bones,
Button up, turn your lights off
And my shadows would fade

Like the freckles
You would no longer let me connect
There would be no love left to make
There would be no more love left inside of you

You are skin and bones
And I am trying to keep you alive
But you only exist without me

There's a hole in my wall,
It's been there a while.
You ask why it's there,
And I nervously smile.
You offer to fix it,
I politely decline.
It doesn't need fixing,
It's perfectly fine.
I like it there,
But you still insist.
If that hole weren't there,
I wouldn't exist.
You won't give in,
You are rudely persistent.
You assure me that,
It'll be fixed in an instant.
Do you fix it for me,
Or is it only for you?
Now there are left,
Not one hole, but two.

When I die and go away
All I want is sweet decay
No Heavenly violins or strumming harp
All I want is pitch black dark
No streets of gold
My pain it could never hold
No pearly beautiful gates
Gates belong on cages and crates
So please my loving God, take me off your list
I just no longer want to exist
