A deft breeze eludes
Weaving through the atmosphere
Longing to find you
It's supposed to be three lines, but the text box won't allow it. Ugh.
Jack Jenkins May 2016
When I am in my Dark Before Dawn,
Believing my falsehood that I am a Failure
Listening as Angels Fall, Breaking the Silence;
The sound is Hollow yet it brings me Close to Heaven.
Bury Me Alive is no longer my mantra;
Never Again shall The Great Divide form like this.
I taste the Ashes of Eden clinging to my lips, I remember that I am not forever Defeated.

Yet I am living in Dear Agony,
Feeling like I'm going to slowly Fade Away.
I realize that I Will not Bow to these demons,
I will Crawl as long as you Give Me a Sign.
Then I realise that it's all Hopeless when I,
Discover What Lies Beneath.
I solemnly sing out, in a whisper, the Anthem of the Angels.
I can comprehend it's Lights Out in my mind,
Screaming out Dear Agony out Into the Nothing because I am Without You...

Did I ever tell you about my Phobia?
I got it while I was reading The Diary of Jane,
It took my Breath away when she wrote she loves You.
So I fell like an Evil Angel,
Swearing to hate you Until the End.
With my self-centeredness I daftly decided I should Dance With the Devil at a ******* bar.
But... Here We Are again; I'm an Unknown Soldier and you've Had Enough.
Once again, You Fight Me.

Remember that We Are not Alone.
I've felt desperate, So Cold,
When it's just a Simple Design I should Follow.
You are my Firefly as you catch me. You Break My Fall and I won't Forget It.
But Sooner or Later I'm going to Breakdown,
Slipping Away because I can't Believe.
So watch me fall like *Rain.
Breaking Benjamin has been the band that I listen to when I'm at the bottom of my depression. At my worst, these guys have a way of making me feel like it's not the worst.

Words in bold are albums, whilst words in italic are song titles.

In silence I hold on to you and I,
Dying just a little more everyday,
Suffering away, dwindling down,
Love never running dry from me,
Love unrequited, flowing with my blood.

Every scar on my back carved from your name,
Every letter sharper than an assassin's dagger,
Eternal torture from your barbed heart,
Each moment given to you, a waste.
Jack Jenkins May 2016
Looks like I'm going down today,
    The words cannot form because of the pain.

Losing you, I lost my heart too,
    Shipwrecked on an island dashed against the rocks,
    Bloodshed and bruised, blackened and blue,
Losing you, I lost my heart too.

I'm sacrificing my memories to keep your face clear,
    Thinking of you tears apart my heart, the blood smears,
    Why'd you have to leave me in this desert heat?

How could your eyes possibly be blinded to my love?
    Did your heart never leap or overflow because of me?
    I gave you more than my love, I gave you more than all of me,
    I gave you my scars, my heart, my stars; why are we apart?

Maybe you'll wake up one day next to him,
    You'd wish he were me, and I wouldn't be there.

I'd be lost, wondering the mazes of my mind...
    Running from you.

Patch over holes in my weakened heart
That angels hold together
And devils pull apart

I'm the beast in you
The beast in me
The bitterness, the jealousy

This love of mine, fatally wounded,
It will wait for you in agonizing patience,
For the pages of your life to flip, right to left,
Enduring the days until you finally see who truly loves you.

This is not a boast of arrogance, but a commitment of facts;
Hands clasped together and heart restrained with crystal chains, I have walked with you through tormentuous chasms and clifftops.

I am the one for you, the only one, because all others would have blown away like straw in the wind.
No other man has seen the depths of your heart as I have.
None person has fathomed the twinkling starlight in your eyes, the portal to your glimmering spirit.

So I'll wait for you as the fires of hell hollow me within,
Burning me up, becoming tortured for your sake.
For you I will wait, to claim your heart...
To give you mine...
**For love

Ten words to capture you
Ten words little to read

Ten words to express feelings
Ten words to break hearts

Ten words not so easy
Ten words carry heavy weights

Ten words lay me down
Ten words express my life

Ten words in a stanza
Not enough words in life
Jack Jenkins May 2016
I'm heartbroken, helpless,
Looking for a sliver of hope.

You were careless and clueless,
Leaving a **** upon my weary heart.

You stretched my mind far too thin,
Branding a languishing symbol on my willpower;
You are the torrential torment I live with.

All my sacrifices mummified my heart,
Withered and locked away, entombed within.
And you crushed my throat with your stiletto heel.

The wounds you cleaved bled through to my soul.
All the king's horses and all the king's men,
Couldn't put Jack together again;
Leaving a hole in my core being.

So now as I'm questioning my loyalty to you,
Pouring the kerosene on the rope bridge we built.
I also question the love of my Father,
If He notices my suffering.
Jack Jenkins May 2016
You broke every dream I ever had.
All I ever wanted was you, my love...
All I ever wanted was you.
I'm happy that you're happy, I hope you'll stay happy.
But for my sake, my love...
For my sake I must say goodbye to you.

Nobody has torn me the way you have, straight to my core. Ripping and shredding every part of me that makes me, well, me.
You hurt me; I still kept loving you.
And it slowly killed me, until today.
So here I am, saying goodbye.
Goodbye...
**Goodbye
Jack Jenkins May 2016
There are just some days when hurt and fear cut deep into your spinal cord and you are left totally paralyzed in despair and hopelessness clawing away at the door you locked yourself behind hoping someone can tear it down and rescue you
But nobody ever comes and you suffocate on the fumes of your gloom the bane of your perseverance is the nagging tempting whisper that
                                          **You
                                                 Are
      ­                                                  Not
           ­                                                    Worth
       ­                                                                 ­    It
Just a sidenote; I decided to try writing without and punctuation to see how it looked. Do you guys enjoy it, hate it, or are indifferent to it?
