With eyes as blue as the icy seas
I can feel your love wash over me
But your smile is shining oh so bright
I'm blinded by its light
Read between the lines

The sad thing is once you go to bed
The only left to talk to are the voices in my head
They try to tell me what to feel
They try to tell me what to do
They to convince me of an evil named you
But they don't need to convince me
I've witnessed first hand
That black magic that you do
Those evil spells that made me fall for you

Why is this happening to me
I have writers block you see
I don't know what to do
I've grown tired writing of you
It's run dry
And is quite a bore
Night time is normally when my writing is peak
But now my writing seems to be weak
Poems need much more than rhyme
They need words that will survive time
Mine just crumble and break
Maybe I'll have better thoughts when I wake

Darkness

The floors are wet 

The smell of rusting metal lingers in the air

Am I awake?

I look down at my hands but I cannot see my feet touching the floor
.
For gods sake
Is this real?

My worst nightmare is you

My lips pressed against your mouth as the tip of my tongue slides against yours
Yet I cannot touch you. 

Like my hands are bound behind my back except these ropes are made of my own skin
 and flesh
And there was guilt rotting in the bottom of my stomach 

Because I shouldn’t be dreaming of you anymore but as I close my eyes it’s not you on my mind
It’s her

It’s her lashing out at my best friend because she’s drunk again and bad memories are back

The blood on her knuckles and the tears rolling down her face scares me to death because I know this is not her but I've seen it before
It’s watching her walk away from me because she can’t handle having to see my bones crack and my soul seeping out through my skin like the black tar covering my lungs

It’s her having to watch me breakdown

It’s her having to see me when I can’t even bring myself to get out of bed

It’s her having to see me leave because I don’t know what’s good for me 


It’s her having to see me with him.
I can't even finish this I'm sorry
Wander of a Summer's night whilst swimming in the energy of neighborhood folk playing at the park in a bathe of warm dusk air,

Nightfall blankets the chatter and laughter of friends a like with whistles fluttering off thy breath to the tune of their pitter patter against the mat of green grass all perfectly groomed...

For soccer matches and picnics, plus the occasional BBQs or to this present moment an evening dog walk, tails wagging.

Golden shimmers
Bright lights
The finer things in life
Waves crashing
Thoughts mashing
Finding out the unknown
Artist adventures
Musical excavations
Silver stars
Forever scars
Choosing your path
Mistakes made
Forgiving gaze
Monumental discovers
Shooting guns
Bright burning sun
Death of friend
Holding on til the end

I guess forever was just words to you
I shouldn't have let your lies seep through
Maybe my skin was too thin
Maybe I shouldn't have let you in
But now its all over
And now you are gone
My heart was like a diamond
Trapped in a safe
The combination being you
And those snake eyes saw right through
I never thought it to be possible
But the only thing harder than my heart of diamond
Was yours of ice

I ask myself again and again what it means to be infatuated with the little parts that make up the creation of you. To call it love almost seems too cavalier, too simple. Maybe what we (could've) had was something much different from love. Maybe it was chaos and fear and guilt all mashed together creating our own perception of romance or innocence. All I know is that whatever it was, if I were forced to go through it again with anyone in the universe, I would choose you. I would do it again and again and alter every ending until we ended up together, you and I, just like we dreamed about when we were 16 years old without a sense of direction.

I'd go back in a heartbeat.
I'm sad lately.
