Laughing Man May 2018
I told myslef that this was done.
I thought my mind had finally won.
But after all this time I see,
There really is no beating me.
My mind and my soul,
Have but only one goal.
And that is to find peace with what I’ve lost.
Back
Laughing Man May 2018
One job was all it took,
I never took a second look.
Within seconds before my eyes,
My heart was struck, and I realized,
That beyond the jobs, and the red robes, she suffered, screaming for me to come home.
She’d warned me once or twice before,
But my anger sent me slamming doors.
So I look back with a smile on my face, knowing in this cruel world I hold no place.
Because in this hell you call home,
I sit laughing all alone...
Sometimes a joke can be killing

Permission slips and paper clips,
One school day, pretty quick.
Then the fires began to glow,
Brighter, stronger, row on row.
They began to scream, as doors were locked,
Their visions blurred by burning chalk.
I sat back to take it all in,
Knowing they’ve paid for their sins.
School can be such a horrible place for so many people.

Broken wife, empty life.
I tried to fix her with a smile,
She forgot me for awhile.
All I wanted was to see her
glow,
Trying with her had never left me so low.
So I forgot her, and left her to die.
She yelled, and screamed, and asked me
“why?”
I just laughed and let her fall.
I wont be receiving anymore of her calls.
So I’ve set my old life aside,
Because now I see the funny side.
Written for the late, but none the less magnificent Heath Ledger.

Your unnerving smile,
Kept me around awhile.

My ****** shirt,
The stab wounds hurt.

You left twirling your hair,
While I sat gasping for air.

My tattered shoes
On the breaking news
Lighting is key

I went from paper kites,
To a big city flight.
I loved the planes, they moved so fast.
I just wanted my journey to last.
But as we took our airborne leap,
I fell deep into sleep.
When I eventually awoke,
I couldn’t breathe, and began to choke.
The world was in a haze,
When I looked down my body was in a blaze
Fires glow brightest in those who love the spotlight

I laugh and cry,

And wonder why.

Why you would hurt me like you did,

Was it because I was just a kid?

You left me bleeding on the floor,

My heart was hurting to it’s core.

I screamed as my blood began to boil.

The last thing I remember was the scent of oil
I will probably be writing poems with dark themes for the next little while, so Yeha that should be fun
