Fight
Eliot Feb 2020
Fight, run, scream
It always wins
Harder faster
Harder faster
The cries drowned out
Not by water nor by tear
The cries die out
Brought to my knees
The guilty floods out
wounds from the sharp knife of failure
Day in---day out, day in---day out

Again

Again

I will fail, I will fight
I will fail, I will fight
Day in---day out, day in---day out

Again and again

I may never win
I may never make things right
But I will fight
Till the light is seen

Again and again

I will fight
To make things right
Drag him into the light
Or be the warmth in the dark
Day in--- day out, day in--- day out
I will fight

Faster
Eliot Feb 2020
Faster--

A drum
Weeping
Throbbing
Exploding

Faster--
A blur of colors
A thick
Dense fog
Faster
The world’s lights fade away
Faster
But not the voice
Faster
They damage the white canvas
FASTER
Ripping tearing shredding
Faster
Last breath escapes
Faster
The world is gone
Faster
Faster
Slower
A flow of air ignites the flame
Slower
The dark clock gives way

Slower

Think fog blown away

Slower
As the drum beats strong and steady

Life gave meaning



I never want to go that fast again

painful goodbye
Eliot Feb 2019
I still remember the laughs
Always standing with you on that path
Your soft hand
Keeping me for drifting for the land
But now it's gone
Turns out I was just a pawn
You left me alone
To sit here and moan
I should have known
You were not mine to own
Now it is time I let you go
To defeat sorrow my foe
Because there is still laughs to be had
Even though it's sad
That the girl I had loved all those nights
Is nowhere in sight

words
Eliot Feb 2019
words
They build us up
They break us down
They are everything
They are nothing
They are a splash of paint
They will leave a stain
It can be honey to your ears
Or deafening silence
They make our the worst fears
They are the sound of defiance
They will make you cry
They can give you a reason to sigh
They can soothe the wailing child
Or cause death to come
They can be the reason why he smiled
Or cause agony to some
Words they are everything
They are nothing

The dark hands
Eliot Feb 2019
As the dark figure approaches
Engulfed in roaches
The boney hand’s tight grasp
The bone-chilling rasp
Like Life leaving the autumn trees
With no hope to flee
Everything fading away
Broken apart like a puzzle left to lay
Everything was meaningless
The dark was seamless
But like a knife through a cloth
The light showed the truth

The wish of the child
Eliot Feb 2019
As the thoughts roll in
Remembering all my past sins
The rain starts to begin
Wishing I had left my din
To see all those so dear
To see all those that are so near
All the moments have come and gone
It was the devil’s greats con
As I just lay there
As the years past without a care
Wishing I could say hello
Wishing I could which my family grow
Not the games I played
As my family starts to fade

Lying smile
Eliot Feb 2019
Showing the fake light
As the darkness spreads
They only see what's in sight
Never the tears on my bed
Never the poison in my veins
All the moments that drive me insane
Only the hope
Never the hanging rope
That could one day be around my throat
They only believe what they what to believe
Not the pain that they have weaved
Eliot Feb 2019
Poems
They bring men to tears
They are a way to express our fears
Bring light to the dying soul
Give hope to even the worst of fouls
Or so we think
They are just made of ink
They fade in a blink of an eye
They can be filled with lyes
For it is not the words that should make you care
For poetry is something rare
It is not a gift given to just one
And a poem is never truly done
It is the heart of the beast
And they come when you finally let it speak

Painful goodbye.

I still remember the laughs
Always standing with you on that path

But now it's gone
Turns out I was just a pawn
You left me alone

You were not mine to own
Now it is time I let you go
To defeat sorrow my foe
Because there is still laughs to be had
Even though it's sad
That the girl I had loved all those nights

my values
Eliot Feb 2019
Here we are on this fateful day
To speak my values I wish to say
To cherish and protect you to the end
To you my time I will spend
Naneurting you when you are ill
And to share all our thrills
To show and give you all my love
And to you, I will put nothing above
For with this ring I make you my wife
For with this ring, I give you my life

— The End —
