I'm screaming.
I'm crying.
I'm burning.
I'm dying.
Does nobody hear my plea?

I'm drowning.
I'm bleeding.
I'm choking.
I'm needing.
Does nobody even remember me?

They're laughing.
They're dancing.
They're singing.
They're prancing.
They don't see me dying alone.

They're happy.
I'm not.
They'll thrive.
I'll rot.
My pain will remain unknown.

How can I know?
How can I let go?
How can I toss you away?
I love you: there's no denying it.
Yet, I can't seem to ask you:
Do you love me too?

I turn *crazy
to the thought of you;
Even if we're so close,
I still feel like you're a world away:
I hate to feel like this;
Nobody else can torture me this way,*
Yet I choose to stay.

I've held you for too long,
It could be an eternity;
And you might be holding me
At the edge of your fingertips;
Playing me like a fool,
Yet knowing this I gladly accepted.

I know you are not aware of it,
I merely am a monologue;
But your influence over me,
Aghast, I needed to state my pleas;
I can't tell you to bore yourself reading this;
It's your choice.

I can't tell how much you are to me
With these words;
It's just the tip of the iceberg;
That is why I grow weak,
To the sight of you;
To the cries of my aching heart.
I can't let you know, I can't let you go. You make me feel messed up, yet you're my remedy. ****.

Tighten your fist
let the sand slip
contort your face
make it ugly beautiful
watch it trickle through invisible chinks in your hood
sadness
fulfillment

i love you
i want to hold you
firmly
to be dragged around
until you declare me father of all your progenys
******* or otherwise
be my wife, choke me to death
only you are capable of doing that
**** me
before i spill through the fingers
before i escape
stealing all of me and important bit of yours
to live the life of a scoundrel
a soldier
who lusts for blood
but can’t stand the corpses which litter his dreams
a life he wants for his own
but begs for at empty street corners

In evenings
when i could have gone to cinema
or a *******
or listen to demi-harlequins talk about art or poverty
(that is all they ever talk about)
i find a secluded corner in an empty beach
i smoke too many cigarettes
and let the sand slip through my fingers
again and again.

Beats me
Why it seems I'm thrown into the sea

Beats me
Why my life has no glee

Beats me
Why no one hears my plea

Beats me
Why no one can see

Beats me
I'm just try to be

Dear God,

Let me keep this moment forever. Please.

Simplicity
Short, direct, clear
Elegant in it's plainness
Modest in it's tones

I'm a simple guy
But see it's no bad thing
Because simplicity
Is a beauty of it's own
Meant for those, that feel dull or get criticized of being too simple or writing poems that are too simple. Without further explaining I think everyone gets the message. Thanks for reading have a great day!

Death, where is your sting?
Has it been lost in thy suffering?
I in myself felt like I accepted you years ago,
But I pushed forward not knowing where it would go.
Now here I am at your door once again,
The empty swallowed pit of my soul.
Knowing and aching at your entrance,
I stand wishing to be free.
Free from the stresses and worries about tomorrow,
The ravenous worn torn heart holding and breaking.
It seems I'm done with it all, really,
A willing life for forsaking.
Save me please
These walls are closing
They're surely hiding

Those demons
The dark
Take my hand and save me please!

Do i have to beg?
I beg
I plead
I scream
Save me
Help me!

I won't make it through the rest of the night
Im shaking.
I'm cold
Im terrified
Im awake

3am and id rather not see this time
Id rather be asleep
Why
Oh why
Does this have to happen to me
I was so peaceful
Now this house is not my home
It is my nightmare

My brain won't stop
I dont want to think
I tried hitting my head but it won't stop thinking
Such horrible things
So scary
I just want to forget
I just want to...
Sleep.
I cant do this. It's too much! Help me before these tears blur not only my vision but my perception of reality
