Lonely
by Carl

Oh I'm tired of feeling lonely
lost my Girlfriend long ago
Oh I tried to cross the Cascades
but it comense to snowA

Im tired of being defeated
don't know when I'm going to win
I been kicked out in the weather
don't know when I'll get back in

I tryed to cross the ocean
but the waves they were too rough
I thought that I could make it  
but I found I weren't so tough

I'm tired of being disgusted
I will not be displeased
I thought I was half crazy
My mind it was diseased

I'm worn out and I'm tired
I can't catch my breath  
It gets cold before the Sunrise
I might freeze to death

I tried to find the sunshine on my darkest day
I walked onn in my sadness until deep into the night
I walked on feeling hopeless on my longest trip
I just kept on walkin, searching for the Light

I bore the heavy burden up the Mountain trail
They tried to defeat me
they all hoped that I would fail
But I just kept on clibin'
I knew I would prevail

Have you ever lived in someone's shadow?
Cause I have .
And it's really breaks you quietly,
because no one cares to ask how you're really feeling .

It feels like walking into a room full of people ,
Where every gaze lands on her,
Every smile belongs to her,
While you stand there -unnoticed.

I stand there ,faking a smile ,
Pretending like it doesn't bite.
But deep down ,am wishing for an apocalypse .

But I bet you don't get it .
you were always the gem.
But if you ever wished someone would finally say ,
"Hey ,you are stunning ,"
Then you will know exactly how it  feels .
This piece is for everyone who has ever felt unseen while the world adored someone else. But it's s ok cause we are in this together

it’s midnight in laredo
and my shoes slap the sidewalk
like a dying heartbeat.

people pass by like ghosts
faces painted on smoke,
and i pause —
am i the only real one?

then loneliness crawls my back
like a wet coat i can’t shake off
and i keep walking.

write this silence a symphony
a song to sing what words do not tell -
seventeen year old arms cradling her stomach
pregnant with a truth who's name she dare not speak
shhhh

paint this darkness a rainbow
a myriad of colours exploding from camouflage -
seventy two years young a drip in his arm
flushed with a pain and a shame held mute

shhhh
draw this prison cell an exit
a crudely carved hole radiating light
ageless frame electrified, like lighting
flashing white in a brightly lit room
shhhh

name this shame like a first born
unapologetic, lung screaming introductions -
mask dropped to a mess of shattering self on the floor
arms outstretched for a help in hand
speak

Vouloir, c'est pouvoir.

The world moved on without a sound,
leaving me lost, no light around.
I replay your laughter, the love we knew,
a life so bright, gone far too soon.

No last goodbye, no final word,
just echoes of you that still are heard.
Now grief too heavy, silence too true,
an emptiness filled with memories of you.

If I were asked which part of a tree matters most,
Foolishly, I might say the roots
Yet truly, every part is vital.
So it is with you: every part of you is precious to us.

My hands may never stretch far enough
To offer a fruit or even presence
But always, I am near.
In my heart, you dwell
A grace to be cherished.

Today, I offer you my heart,
The only gift I can give again
For you, who deserve the world.
And if it breaks, there’ll be nothing left.

In days of darkness, side by side, we’ll thrive.
We’ll be the light.
Wear a smile in your heart;
Let greatness shine upon your face.

Sometimes I wonder
Why is gold so hard to find on the surface?
Even when we yearn, pray,
And risk it all just to touch it.

It must be a miracle, then
In you, I found gold.
And by grace alone, I cannot explain it.
What could I give to repay that?
You, who are laughter and love
A worth beyond measure.

If I held the world, I’d give it to you.
But since I don’t, I’ll always choose you.

Even when it's hard to understand,
I’ll try every moment
To know your heart,
To feel its desires.

And if it’s within my reach,
I’ll strive to fulfill them.
Even in love, you are a gift.

I feel you in silence, in distance
And truly,you are gold.
It's dedicated to the one loved but distance separates the two yet crave to be close.

sinking into cushions
i ask myself
is this silence
a wound
or a gift

my friends have vanished
into their own worlds
this is what love does
it swallows people whole

maybe the absence
is my reflection
me and the glowing screen
sharing secrets
until sleep

i whisper lies
humans were made
to be islands
i tell myself
and i try
to believe it

You observe a shadowy figure
Crouched on weathered planks
Staring into the depths
Of the ocean's vast embrace

The stars shine overhead
And a sliver of the moon
Reflects on crested waves

You watch the figure stand
Then take a haunting step
And vanish from the light

A view so picturesque
That most may never know
What remains
Beneath the surface
There’s a spark between your lips, and it lights mine
when we kiss— we’re a match: fighting against all
the ways we’ve tried to smother what we feel.
As the sun cuts through me, kissing my skin in
gold— but my tears taste like wine, and my hopes
lounge in the soft armchairs of dreams.

Now, I hate the silence when I’m left with myself—
scrolling through ghosts in my phone, each message
once charging me like a battery cell.

Now it’s just me, trapped in a cold heart's prison cell,
echoing for company, thinking of the days I was once
drowning  in a well. But all there’s left to say is a bitter,
shrugged,

                “Oh well.”
