Alone I shall be,
But alone will not grant me peace.
In the dark many shall come,
Comfort, the least of their desires.

Memories they will flood,
Pain and anguish, limits of sanity
Hand in hand desperate journeys.
Little room for else do they leave.

Unreasonable ventures to the depths.
Journeys to the minds soul.
Forgotten friend lost in the storm.
What path his heart has taken?

Happiness and sadness
Closest of friends for eternity
Each day shall be the last
But no end shall ever bless.

Evil spell casting lots
Spoken words and deep thoughts
Price paid in blood
Happiness finally bought.

When she died a part of you did too

His voice that rang like shimmering church bells
Fell oceans deep
A  water well
In the darkness of what was
Broken little pieces
From up above
Departed; Leaving
Stories retold
Smiles retrieving

When the skies are blue
I'll look for you
I wanted to try this style of writing even though it's not my playing field. i apologize for the choppy rhyming.









I'll love you forever Ursula.

I had rather went blind.

Than to see you leave.

No one seems to understand.

No one seems to know the feeling.

So many times I felt your wrath. So many times you hugged me tightly as I cried myself to sleep. The ropes choked the wind from my lungs. The nails pierced holes in my heart. Never a drop on the sheets, but I cried rivers of red as the life left my soul. Soon I lost sight of who I was. My existence became no more the pain that you induced.

You smiled so deeply,

You promised tomorrow and tomorrows tomorrows.

You made me feel so loved and desired.

The love lied without a blink. And the pain became my life. I awoke with the needle in my arm, and I went to bed with the straw in my nose. Each dose created a desire, desire for more of your pain, and worse pain. The stories of all the men that had molested my fantasy, ***** my
Dreams. The stories made it all so *****. Shower after shower failed to wash the blood from our love.

I came on my knees.

I crawled and begged like an addict.

I hated the breathe you breathed.

When there was no mercy left. Like a thief in the night. You stole the only thing that kept me alive.  Now it is in other eyes, that I liked. I see perfection but it scares me to death. I need the pain. I need the misery. I need the torture. I became dependent. I became an addict. Now I live restrained to a couch, bound by what little pain my memories grasp to hold.

They tell me to stop.

They tell me to find happiness.

They tell me life will be ok.

It is the trampling of my heart that kept me alive. How am I supposed to live without it? The nights I hate, the demons run rampant. But it is the only place I feel safe. No one left in my life, but those that eat my very soul.

Why can't someone love me?

Why can't anyone see how great I am?

Why can't they finish the job before morrows light?

Passionate deep blue seas
Weigh the anchor
Hoist the sails
Set you bearings
Forever island awaits

Be not afraid
The night hides no demons
All can be beat
Head into the wind
Break the waves

Get lost in the dark
Deep deep blue sea
Passion at her finger tips
Embrace the embraces
Overcome the waves

Stay the course
Chart the island
And find the gold
For her heart
Will ever be yours

Rivers fading into the sun.
Defying logic as they turn red.
Picturesque mountains lose their glory
As anger turns the snow rosey.

And the world turns to blood.

Visions of what used to be,
And what could have been.
Replaced with the orange glow of the fire,
As the devil rakes the coals of sleep.

And the world turns to blood.

Side by side captured forever in time,
As the pages turn forward and back.
Memories no longer bring the smiles,
Just fear as the avalanches crush life.

And the world turns to blood.

The daggers of your words
Rip and burn their way into the night
Never to feel the warmth of your arms.
You say you don't feel that way.

And the world turns to blood.

Can I ever remove the ink,
From my brain and cleanse it all.
As time moves forward,
And my heart stands still.

And the world turns to blood

Why
A fading memory
A longing for a breathe of air
Time grows weary
As the hands spin round and round

Visions of a smile
Reflecting back at me
Glorious rays of eternal flowers
All about the world

Searching for my heart
Darkest of nights
Not a prayer in sight
Why???

Why???

Why???

Why must the heart love so deep?
Why can no one see the gifts to bear?
Why must the mountain be so steep?
Why must the world, oh gentle heart tear?

Dreams upon dreams, upon dreams
So much love willing to share.
Ripping at the seams,
To the world it does bare.

One kind heart, faith has been lost
No glory to a bended knee.
Weakness and shameless love
Quicker the end will be found.

Why??
Marty Apr 2018
Can love be judged?

Can love be weighed?

If so judge the mascara that
Has been washed away.

Or

Weigh the lipstick that has been
Wasted with another's lips.
