Despair a place of solace, disillusion a state of being,
when emptiness routes the soul forbidding any dreams.
You try to smile your placid smile with untold torment tearing you apart inside.  Was it seen?  Could they know?  Have they discovered the secret you try to hide?

Ignorance is bliss and in ignorance those around us live their lives blissfully, but pain is bitter sweet and consumes us frivolously.

And someday it will all end.

Amen

when i talk to you everything clicks
something that feels so right
when we talk, whispers like we used to it all comes back to me
and I remember why i fell in love
i remember why this was so hard to lose
i hear you laugh
i hear the softness in your voice when you call me
and i’ve never felt anything more worth it

it only makes it hurt more when i realize this wasn’t worth it for you

can i ever be enough?

let me be enough
i dont know

Old
Getting too cold for walking this way,
Getting too old from playing these games.
Sweat on my hands expose my emotions,
Revealing my secrets, showing my motives.

Ticking bombs going off,
When they laugh and scoff.
They don’t see it, they don’t feel it.
They lock it away until they unseal it.

Being lost in life doesn’t mean,
You have to find your way to be seen.
Pain will eternally follow you,
So don’t let it be the end of you.

Can’t fall asleep, I’m too tired of me.
Wishing for my dreams to become realities.
I know they are far, I know they are distant.
But I can’t just ignore the feelings deep from within.

Wishing I was better, wishing I was stronger,
No one to read letters, no one to honor.
Fallen mistakes only get worse,
Exactly the same, exactly diverse.

They say humans speak so many words,
But I’m only screaming from how much it hurts.
Yeah I talk all the time, with hope, with doubt.
But only if my whispering conscience counts.

and it's a cold evening,
the writings swirling on the wandering pavement—
your silhouette hangs on the tail of the lowering sun,
and gleams, a pale reflection, in the water below;
and crescendos of the waxing moonlight seem more like the
hushed whispers of starlight, like the
hushed silence of forest's night, like the
hushed breathing of your heart's bright, like the
hushed rolling and descent of all that might,
of all that stirs the spirit, and all that bespeaks the pensive, slumbering
winter infinite.

The voices in my head aren't real,
Real to my ears are the hisses and whispers
Whispers of who, as I turn around to see
See if there is someone, but no one besides me
Me and the silence are besties these days
Days pass and I hear same on alternative time
Time of the day mostly towards the noon
Noon goes by and night approaches soon
Soon after the sunset, all becomes calm
Calm as in, no hisses or whispers in surround
Surround of breezy moon filled night
Night of romance, full of love
Love of that whom I miss
Miss but its being too long since we spoke
Spoke last, few years back I remember
Remember all of the shatters you drowned me in
In the loneliest path, you left me to freeze...

.....Now I sit quiet and breath,
                   for my life is worthy and not just some shyt!!!

They were playing
Hide and seek of words
But deep down
Both were craving
To hear one of them saying
"You are the song
My heart is beating to"
In my nightly solitude
When you are not next to me,
Everything
                    w  h  i  s  p  e  r  s
                            to me
                    and every time
           I strain my ears to hear them
                I behold your name
                           f                                      
                               l
                                   o
                                     a
                                        t
                                           i
                                             n
                                                g
                                     In the wind
