#bomb
I reached for words, for something light, a gentle thought to end the night, to rest my head, to close my eyes– then came a buzz that split the skies. Not warmth, not love, not something sweet, but fear that stole my steady beat. A warning cold, a hollow cry: Stay in. Stay safe. Survive. Don’t die. The walls grew thin, the air turned strange, as if the world had slipped its range, and I– alone in dim-lit space– felt shadows breathing in my place. What if I fade and no one knows? What if I’m gone before it shows? A silent end, no hand to hold, no whispered warmth against the cold. What if they take the one I keep– the one who knows me, soft and deep? The only soul who saw my flaws and loved me still, without a pause. Will darkness fall, will power cease, will silence steal what once was peace? Will I remain, yet feel undone– a life still here, but missing one? And if that grief should come to stay, and pull my fragile heart away, will someone find me in that night, and hold me close, and hold me tight? Will arms replace what I have lost, or warm the soul gone cold with cost? Will whispers mend what fear has torn remind me I am still reborn? For now, the dark feels far too near, its voice much louder than my prayer, and I am small, yet wide awake, with trembling hands and thoughts that ache. Still somewhere soft, beneath the sting, a fragile hope begins to cling– that love, once real, won’t fade so fast…. that even fear… won’t always last. ♡ lil-usagi

Silent Cries at Midnight

A young soldier who came from Beirut, Though he tried, he just couldn't shoot The young man and his gang All went out with a bang In a bomb laden vest 'neath his suit

Boom
I am fragile But not in the way A flower is fragile In the way A bomb is fragile With a flower You have to be careful As to not break it With a bomb You have to be careful As to not have it blow up Because one day I will explode And I will hurt everyone near Because I am fragile

Fragile
I am not fragile like a flower Though I’m sure you’d think so I’m courageous enough to not cower Though that’s not something you’d know I’m completely and utterly explosive If not that then I’m nothing For I’m not fragile like an orchid But isn’t that something? I am counting down to the next hour I am singing a forgotten song I am not fragile like a flower I am fragile like a bomb

Fragile Like A Flower
A hero to no one except myself Just there to fill up space in a crowded room Told that the only things I want are fame and wealth A Ticking Bomb ignited from the start But neither I nor you know when I'll blow And all your comfort will be ripped apart I want everyone, but wanted by none I'm just an option, never the choice I'm just a second daughter, when he probably wanted a son I'm carrying bombs in each of my 20 hands And expected to blow them all out in a minute People believe I'm just someone who can count all the sands When people are partnered up with me I hear a groan, a sigh, a rejection But this is not who I am, just who you think me to be When I look into a mirror, now dusty and haunted I don't see a ticking bomb like everyone else Just a girl who wanted to be wanted

Lorded
I hope these goosebumps stay jagged forever Like summits of this tubular dance The infinite free fall from never Blankets our young souls with radiance As piano keys play during our wars And we shall melt in syncrony With our laughter bottled in jars Will you please sing with me So we can drown out the booms And my mother's haunting cries We've crawled from cribs to tombs As the metal falls from the skies My tears evaporate into the air As my skin boils off my face Our boney bodies rip and Tear Cementing our final Embrace

Fat Man
Fried Turtles The little dog chews on the blue wire His sharp teeth need blunting So he picked this bomb wire to gnaw He likes biting and such like One of his main interests His master’s fingers and boots Car tires on parked cars And his Holy toys The gold cross from the church That’s totally ****** Just like the blue wire he has Look it’s now severed And the bomb will explode Killing ten million Chinese Flattening central Shanghai Good job the dog and wire Are ten miles away He’ll still get a tan And ten million turtles Will be totally ******* fried It was a Taiwanese bomb…

“Bombs away!” You called. They exploded with love. Then suddenly, The world was left empty. Until the next wave.

Love-Bomb
Born with flesh and blood, but heart sold separately. Bird way up high, falling from the sky. The raining aftermath is the common denominator. When it shockwaves from ground zero, it leaves an atomic shadow—fatal impressions where a living, breathing thing once stood...

Unforgettable Fire
How to dress well (and that I'd rather dress comfortably.) How to hide the laces in my shoes. That it's apparently "learnt". How to walk with a limp, when to walk away. How to look mean while avoiding eye contact. Where to find the best coffee. How to write a bad sonnet. How to kiss the right way. Where to find the wrong girls. How to sing sad songs. How to roll a decent joint. How easily a wasted day can become a wasted life. How to hold my liquor, when to hold my tongue, not to hold my breath. When enough is enough. When enough is too much. When to hold the door open. How to set a deadline with no intention of adhering to it. How to feel alone in a packed out club (and where to find the smoking bit). That time heals nothing but memories fade. How long a piece of string is. That no matter how bad a day you're having, tomorrow can always be worse. Tomorrow can always be better.

Things I learned for myself
She starts up her motors, She revs me 'til I purr. She spins up her rotors, I'm always dizzy for her. She checks all the gauges twice, I'm ready and eager for flight, Heat, pressure - optimal, nice. Her flight plan is for speed and height. She glances back with a stewardess smile, I'm shrugging into my bombardier coat. She examines my seatbelt, no trace of guile, So sweet, we wouldn't want it to chafe my throat. Perfect piloting, no clouds in sight - no turbulence at all, She's got the only parachute, but I know we won't fall. Cruisin' along smoothly, we hit the target altitude, Over the headset, "If you love me, hit the big red button, dude!" Sudden change in direction, same speed but straight down, What once was blue sky is now onrushing ground. Her skills are legend, she could drop me on a dime, She knows right where I'll land, and I climb aboard every time.

The Bomb
i have atom bomb dreams from the desert mushroom clouds billowing the shockwave blow past cacti and down dirt roads from the cockpit of a b-29 leveling the ground below already comprised of craters as we pummel the earth we become a might to match the gods

Asphyxiation
woke up with the sound of jet engines thundering, overhead streaming the sky brush strokes on high of red and black jumped at straight back from the bomb they dropped square in my living room walking away another day i'll be back when dust settles amidst no attacks on the sandy soil of my homeland

Homeland
Caught between a dream and nightmare Stabbing mind pains this is not fair Sleep awake living or dead Stuck in a place called nowhere Is this life even real, should I even question to care Do I take a chance, dream beyond the skies A world with the absence of light dark with vision impaired Infested with lies & legal crimes Can we really live life to the fullest When we already ensnared? These are the questions, infesting my dreams at night When voiceless earths screaming Still putting up a fight We destroy everything, just look at our historical might Building towards exstiction To destroy our nature, it cannot be helped.

God, it's raining ash embers and the noxious spiders are jumping from pole to rusted pole. I really blew it up, gosh golly, I really blew it up. I needed to. The venomous blob was poisoning my mind, but gosh golly! The city is gone-- crater left where church, congregation, lovers once held hands under the blue moon. The smoke bomb filled the sky and it vaporized all but the brown recluse. Careful, that venom stings.

Bend or break
Ticking time bomb friends Will lay themselves dead Before you can understand What's going through their head. Death filled minds With death dripping hands Might include you In their end of life plans. You'll see the knife wounds Cross hatching chests You'll see the pills That one day will put them to rest. Death filled minds With death dripping hands Might include you In their end of life plans. They'll show you razors, Knives and blood. You'll never ask why They'll never mention it again. You'll excuse the rope you find Filling up corners You'll ignore sturdy beams With chairs underneath them. You won't think twice When they ask for one bullet. Maybe you'll be the one to put it In ticking time bomb hands. Death ridden minds With death dripping hands Might include you In their end of life plans. It's not your fault. How could you have known? You've made an art out of ignoring. You assume the blood and gore meant nothing. It was just a bad night. It's not your fault. How could you have known? It's not like you've lost Every other one you've known. It's okay. It's really not your fault. You can never stop Death ridden minds With death dripping hands. You can never help Your ticking time bomb Friends.
