take me to the further
down a bottomless pit
to find all the truths
that you cannot admit

or hang me high
above all the lies
then bury my body
where the lonely heart dies

Thomas Alan Jul 2017

Forgiving

the summer cries
when the springtime dies
but the winter sings
when autumn forgives

Thomas Alan Jan 2017

the old me

somebody once told me
they want old me back
but i'm too afraid to say
they can't have the old me back

somebody once told me
that something was missing
and i told them
to keep reminiscing

A saddened laden sky

A saddened laden sky
fixed into the brain;
and a night of forest dream
can't take away the stain

Feathers float above you
and they land upon your bed
To remember those that left you
so words are left unsaid

Thomas Alan Nov 2016

Severed Ties

the cold
covers up our eyes
now in winter coats
we've forgotten all the lies
and months of
severed ties
means that everything
has died

Tracing

Tracing fingers
obliged to stroke a map
float across a pond
and dance with just a tap
lands of promise
and secrets yet to see
take us to the places
that they said I'd never see

Thomas Alan Nov 2016

Things

You took all the things
that I made out of nothing
threw them in a fire
but did not remember to set it
