#cries
Killer lines I plan to write
All the words that come tonight
Hoping for my best, I’ll write them in ink
That makes it easier to see what I think
A moment of truth, flooded by lies
Darkness crawls, while a grown man cries

She looks at the crimes of the world before her. Destruction wreaked, hopes crushed, and lives ended. The darkness of this world is suffocating, yet the beauty still shines through. Sunrise, sunset, love, innocence, kindness. As the night fades to light around her, she prays for a better world.
She cries with the dawn.

Once upon a stormy night
With lashing winds and crying skies
With howling whispers and loud frights
Once upon a stormy night
Once upon the lashing winds
Cold and cruel, with caressing strikes
A haunting song among the din
Once upon the lashing winds
Once upon the crying skies
Wailing loudly, sleep lost
A mother's heart-wrenching cries
Once upon the crying skies
Once upon the howling whispers
Loud and quiet and in between
The blades of sorrow, raising blisters
Once upon the howling whispers
Once upon the loud frights
Flashing brightly, dark outside
Spearing, creeping, in the night
Once upon the loud frights
Once upon a stormy night...

Where there is injustice
There is corruption
Where there is justice
There is liberation.
Where there are rights
There is freedom
Where there are fights
There is martyrdom.
Where there are lies
There are thefts
Where there are cries
There are deaths.
Where there are smiles
There is happiness
Where there are styles
There is progress.
Where there is peace
There is love
Where there are feasts
There are doves above.

When darkness falls
And swallows me whole,
When my soul leaves my body
And I’m no longer living
Just existing,
When I’m drowning in the
Yawning waters that
Crave to taste my
Bitter tears,
Echoes of
Screams
Shouts
Crashes
Cries
Ring in my innocent ears.
They paint my mind a shade of grey,
Stain my childhood like
Ink on a linen cloth,
Bleeding until I’m nothing
But darkness.
I’m covered in invisible scars from
Every time you grasped your
Cold, strong fingers
On her scarred neck,
Wishing to remove her existence
In front of my pleading, teary eyes.
Echoes of
Screams
Shouts
Crashes
Cries
Ring in my innocent ears.
Im branded with the plates, cups, mugs
That you shattered in a fit of rage,
Shards of glass
Hidden under my cold skin
Digging into my life
As you muttered death.
Pieces of me shatter
As I grow in silence,
Learning that I’m always the problem,
Learning that I’m always the cause,
Learning that you’d be better off without me.
Echoes of
Screams
Shouts
Crashes
Cries
Ring in my innocent ears.
Wiping your tears,
Hiding in the car
From the unrecognisable monsters
That grew in our love-
Broke my innocence.
“Hush, they still love
Even if they hurt.”
Words and moments that
Sting my heart when they
Come flooding back,
Drowning me in my lost childhood.
Echoes of
Screams
Shouts
Crashes
Cries
Ring in my innocent ears.
When you scratch the
Polished glass
You trap me in,
My body makes a cold embrace,
Sending goosebumps around my ruined skin
Waiting to attack as we all
Plead my heart to stop beating,
So I can flee from the cage and the
Echoes of
Screams
Shouts
Crashes
Cries
That ring in my innocent ears.
When reality replaces the echoes,
When they are no longer the past
But the present,
When the angry monster comes again,
They conjure up the
Flame that ignited that day,
Burning inside,
Slowly eating at my flesh
Until I’m ashes of the
Scream
Shouts
Crashes
Cries
That pain my vulnerable ears.

What I love about the snow
Is that it allows things to exist
Just for a few moments
Before it fades away into the white
So I whispered your name that night
And in that small moment
We existed again
We laughed again
We loved again
Until it was time
For the winds to silence my cries
And once again
We faded away into the white

touch this body
leave these eyes
empty my soul
use my tears
crying out no
burn these feelings
make me bleed
drink the blood
feed on my pain
skin me alive
steal my worth
pluck my lily
drain it dry
take that pearl
tear me apart
choke me now
taint the flame
put it out
silence this voice
throw me away

Silent Cries
that are
undetected,
the feeling
of emotional,
flowing tears
are rejected,
crying in silence
where nobody
knows,
releasing
the pain,
as the tears
suddenly flow,
letting go
of frustration,
of the
pain and
the fear,
every sob,
every whimper,
and every
falling tear,
YOUR
BREAKTHROUGH
IS COMING,
It is so
close, and
so near,
your silent
cries are
temporal, but
your Cloudy Skies
will
become clear,
then when
the
tears stop
falling,
The Sunshine
will appear,
with RAINBOWS
and
BLUE SKIES,
So, please
dry your tears,
from your
SOFT SILENT
CRIES!!!!

You tried, tried
And you cried
You never gave up
You found hope
As a last resort
Because you fought
Until the last drop of blood
Until the last shade of mud.
You are my angel, my hero
You refused to fall and to go
You cried, cried
And tried, tried
To succeed against all odds
You were strong and you wore pads
You tried, tried
And you cried.
Heroes cry too
And Angels cry too
You are a model to me
I respect your bravery
You are my inspiration
And my endearing passion
You tried and cried
And I too tried and cried.

On the corner of your pages
I'll leave not my name
Nor my wretched face,
But a word of thanks
You let me read your stories
Shared to me your worries;
I somehow became part
Of your wonderful art
I would be greatly honored
If you saw my crooked words
And remember those times
That once our pages aligned—
Where laughters are easy to find
So did our cries and whines.

My heart weeps in silent cries,
Yet knows not the reason why.
The mind’s a storm of perplexity,
Where love of Man is chained and bound.
The sky resounds with silver voices,
While earth lies scattered with broken hearts.

I ravage myself in hopes,
but purity was all u needed.
Crinkled bedsheets,
White snow turned red and purple,
Is this your kind of pretty?
My love is such a wretched thing,
To keep within and about.
I spoon it to your lips,
And yet you spit it out.
I built a castle from scattered bones,
Laced it with echoes of your name.
Yet every wish turns out to be ash,
And every ember dies the same.

Lonely bird,
Lonely bird,
all alone
Lonely bird
Lonely bird
on its own,
no type of empathy, or
sorrow is shown,
just sad and lonesome,
no friends, all alone,
just sitting on a tree branch,
singing lullabies,
fighting back tears,
of lonely bird cries,
Lonely bird,
Lonely bird,
questions why???
why are you so lonely,
as you weep and cry,
Lonely bird,
Lonely bird,
wipe your
tears away,
You have a Friend in Jesus
He will Brighten up your day!!

She says he's hard to handle
When he flies off the handle
So she reaches for the mantle
Grabs a solid base from a candle
He spews venom in his words
She says that hurts the worst
He knows physical violence is what she prefers
Her clenched hands are where the DV occurs
Her screams turns to subtle cries
He dabs her bloodshot eyes
She says, "why bother to apologize?"
They're both tired of the lies
They question if this is love
Compassion and passion
Turned push and shove
They meet cordially in the middle
Only to say enough is enough

I see cloak of winter
wrapped in foggs of our sighs,
in between hopes,
in between lies,
out of warmth,
out of cries.
Fortune tells winter-
Tomorrow if I
wishfully might die,
winter is cold, winter is blind.

Shall the cries of the dead be heard?
When the world quites down,
Do the weeping winds coax their pain?
Seeping the ground for their comfort,
Will the rain find it's purpose then?
Will it be happy knowing it's not just a source of shallow joy for the living?
Will the clouds stop crying?
Out of pity for the dead,
once alive,
Does the sun apprise us of the regret of the day before or the one ahead,
Does it pity the ones it doesn't serve,
The ones dead

Could you pawn enough courage to smile and pretend that everything is going to be fine? Just this time. One last time.
While the lines are blurred, and cries inside unheard, know that as the end unfurls it is that way by design.
As we cower like cowards in corners we run towards the cracks as the daylight chases us to remind us of the debt we owe for squandering every streak of light on fights and afternoon delights, you and I knew somehow, we needed a place to hide. In an obscured sense, it is that of saying goodbye.
When I set the pen down and let ink bleed into the parchment, when I twiddle my thumbs cognizant of the things I meant, much is pondered about why the room in your heart I pay rent and as a tenant, I’m flagged delinquent.
And on your end, all along, you had all of me tucked in your hand. The silence too abstruse for one to comprehend and is unnerving.
Perhaps you found me undeserving of a love always teetering on the brink just waiting to succumb to gravity. Now the weight of unspoken truth bears down so heavily on us as we fall apart.
This throbbing anxiety seems to walk the road of eternity and in our insanity, we were two pyromaniacs playing fire with destiny, and destiny, a sadist as it may be, there is a horizon bordering its cruelty and honestly, we were vampires driving stakes in each other’s heart.
What I meant is speak your truth or forever hold your peace, for while we had our falling we loved nonetheless. No matter how we repress the past together you and I undressed and the future fraught with regrets, I must confess, though I detest, today we leave what we had and we leave it to rest.

My worst fear realized
Beyond scared & paralyzed
the moment I recognized
the signs in the fading eyes
of a lover as she re-lives the lies
& cries herself to sleep with sorrowful lullabies
Ones only heard by the clouds and the stars they pass by in the night skies
The ones just as lonely and as distant as a sunrise
on the moons romanticized dark sides
mingling with the anticipated replies to the backlog of "why's"
that don't even bother with fly-bys
Somewhere out past where hope dies
Where both love and hate are lobotomized
then cannibalized
even weaponized
for passion triggered crimes
leaving no one surprised
Where the only allies one finds
arrive in disguise
as the best of times
as the worst of times
building up to a multitude of inevitable good-byes
How was I to vocalize
a mess of this size
when I don't have the ability to visualize
even loosing such a prize...

i miss being wanted. i know i must have felt it before, because how can one long for something they've never known?
i wish i was able to believe in love outside of view.
but it seems like every new moon i forget your touch
and i'm running through the woods just to make you love me again.
i believe you every time you tell me you could never hate me (how couldn't i)
but sometimes your words don't last.
sometimes i lie in bed trying to make myself dream of you so i won't exhaust you with my cries in the night.
sometimes i want to take advantage of your soft hands
feel safe in your mind
and let you take care of me even when i don't need it.
it makes me feel selfish, to want that kind of love.

An eye for an eye is universally considered to be justified
But you'll find that everybody's blind and nothing's changed, not a single mind
Hear the gear suddenly grind to a halt but refuse to acknowledge the bind
Sittin' dead center of the dumpster fire proclaimin' it'll be fine
In general we prefer to pretend to be blind
You can't get off this ride, I still tried, found myself tied to life for life with no guide
Cried for just a pinch, wasn't given an inch, never made a sound, in that silence is where hope died
Beaten down by everything around, can't hide the tanned hide or tattered and torn pride
Misty eyed and sleep deprived, insecurities weaponized by myself for myself, individualized personality traits willfully lobotomized to fit in with them other guys
Expertly hypnotized to pull the wool over your own two black eyes
Don't question why a lie and the truth are on the same side, like both sides never tried
Confusion spreads world wide, a close encounter of the mindless kind
Unchecked pride in a prise for the loser will compromise any humanity that tries
Let's go to the chart shall we guys? BOOM! The proof is in the lines, inhumane insanity on the rise
Allowing a personalized demise to arise, spoken to yourself or another, a lies a lie no matter the size
In a black and white society there's no blue skies
The grass is fuucked beyond repair, no green anywhere, I've checked front and back and both sides
Who decides where the status quo marker resides
Keep 'em mystified by vague who, what, where, when and why's
Demonize even the idea of a question so questionable answers to puzzling actions are never scrutinized
God won't mind if I send one his way as long as it's not mine, so everyone's waiting for a purge scenario type grand prize
All of a sudden life can be nullified, rationalized as good over evil by twisted minds
A shady shadow enterprise, faceless behind an eyes wide shut disguise
This is what ignorance buys
A centralized love of hate, morality slides, sheep clothing stock on the rise
Right outside one of the good guys with a gun hides while inside our future cries
No hope, no surprise, no answer to prayer screamed at the skies
Only able to watch the eyes of innocence as it dies, proving evil not only survives but thrives

Rotten smell.
Stale water.
In this well –
a monster.
Twisted horns,
horrid maw –
a wild beast!
You would know...
You entrapped it in there,
but to leave, don't you dare.
It is stuck
in the dark –
cannot run
nor attack.
The beast calls
from the pit –
you can hear
it weep.
You entrapped it in there...
Its sad cries, you must bear.

Her Iris
from her eyes
start to slip
from the blows
of her nose
they drip
sliding south
to her mouth
to her lip
takes a taste
of the tears

change consciousness with another
ashes turn to plastic
giraffes play wack a-mole
i’ll miss you when you’re gone
messages dart his eyes
playing with the devil’s knife
living down,
in the darkness
of my mind
between infant cries
connecting lies
and infernos burning haunted lives
i wish no one
the pain
of a box of broken matches

DEAR PENPAL PEOPLE, heart makes you feel like a fool---not by me:>
I lie so bad
of how your presence excludes the sad
this hand includes
this blue stage we stand in interlude
words on red cheeks faint
the place empty I paint
the neck puts a distance from me and you
and the dark finds the light it never knew
the pretentious actor
writing a character on the other end of the protractor
my pen flows on veins in a way
after tongue pauses the say
now my heart wins
thoughts muffled like an invisible bottle of gin
but fair is not fair for a reason
and cheers to my self mind treason

Depression will leave you feeling alone when you're in a room full of people. It'll make you not wanna eat, sleep or sometimes not wanna live. That depression isn't nothing to play with. I struggle with depression and just wanted to speak on it. Pay attention to signs. Don't ignore the signs, if so you'll have bigger issues than you can bare. The pain many of us deal with it ain't even fair.
Nothing worse than dealing with depression on your own. Listen to those cries, sometimes they're silent so listen closely and keep your eyes open not closed.
The things we don't take serious be the things that be the most serious. The lives of others and ourselves is the most important. Never know how much someone is really suffering.
The silence is biggest cry that you'll ever hear. The loud cries ain't as bad as the silent cries. Crying for help isn't easy but when them cries are calling take it serious. Asking for help is better than suffering on your own. We be in our own zone, suffering alone.
Them signs are sometimes are hard to read. No matter how much they try to push you away, pull them closer.
The ones who the most help won't ask for it. Ego and pride takes over us more than any disease or sickness. Depression will take over your life with the quickness.
