Why?
Johnny paine Feb 2020
Your soft,cold spoken words
Fall comfortably from your tongue
Yet stampede upon my heart
The weight of a hundred stallions
I begin to tremble as I speak
Unpredictable nervousness spreading
Like ice shifting on a frozen remote lake
All I feel seems trivial to you
I detest the debts of despair it drags me to
Blankiting the unforeseen
With discouraging insight is blasphemous
Its counter productivity as soothing as a bed of nails
Piercing my beliefs
As my soal lays upon it
My wants and desires motionless now
Specks of prisms caged
To withhold the magnicfent colors
That use to shine while in your presence
Please release me.
As my soal lays upon it

Crawl
Johnny paine Feb 2020
I relentlessly continue to crawl
Slow and unwavered
Forgiveness being my destination
Yet the extremes my emotions have endured
Scorched and barren
Your constant reminders of my failures you continue to prey upon,crumbling my Hope's and dreams
Within my own personal ancient ruins
As I forage for scraps of acceptance from you
My humbleness shatters
The tiny sharp shards piercing my stability and ego
Until all that is left are
Rotting bones
From a corpse
Which possessed so much love and passion.
And here I crawl

— The End —
