I.
Rain hits the roof and with a shattering bang, like a canon being fired, I am thrown back into reality


II.
Back into a world I have attempted to escape for so long. Into a gruesome realization that I am not unique.


III.
I am not witty or original. I am one of many in the loop, and how could I not let that define me? When in my final hours, as I face a hard truth, I shall have that realization alone and ask myself the final question; where shall I be born next.

The day I’m defined by the materialistic value of my poems, is the day I will no longer write them
I will write for the ones who will listen

somehow, i find
that i would rather breathe at night
holding stone-still in a cell of silence
drifting off into the
murky black of
everything
between the stars.

and although it is cold,
and dark,
and i oftentimes find my pulsing soul
sinking dangerously in temperature,

i would much rather embrace
this world of empty
than lose myself in
everything i must face in the morning.

Aching void,
what do you crave?
What will satisfy
the emptiness that expands
and throbs?

I can see the sea through a branch of green leaves,
And there's nothing else visible, nothing else green:
Like a void with no other world out there,
No other world anywhere.
And I think of you and wonder where
You are and if you wonder where
I am night now. But why should you care?
Someone dear but distant.
If you give yourself completely,
If you surrender everything,
Remember a lot of things can change.

At first, it will feel great-- knowing that your loved one is taking control of you.
But as time passes,
This dark void will start to consume you.
It will swallow you whole,
Not giving you a chance to fight.

So before you give yourself,
Make sure you're willing to be empty.
I feel nothing anymore. I'm always confused.

Love is a
shout into the void-
a long wait for an echo
that may or may not come
falling back to your lips.

lost in the void
between i love you
and i need you
do you know the difference
because i’m starting to
the difference between
i love you
and
i need you
the difference that can
change our world
and split it into two
a world where
i know
i will endlessly cry
for you

How does the heart heal my love,
When the pain of losing you
Is sweeter than the nothingness without.
When the eyes don't see your beauty no more,
But the memory upholds the truth as whispered in your ears before,
"You are my everything...The most beautiful soul".
