Confliction lives in everything and the battle tires me.
My name is all I hold, until death does us part.

It's a million endings condensed into one being.

I cannot live without regret but that I will regret

Embodied my surroundings I fall a victim to them.
Will I rise a sole individual or fall to the earth having lived everyone's lives but my own?

And then what comes of my existence? Nothing but severance.

I will love with all I am, and for I know not what that is I will gift you everything.

Bask in the suns starlight
The sweet solid abyss,
If the crescent is what you wish for
It’s the crescent I shall gift

I know not many words of anger
For silence echos the way
I will pave my footsteps toward you
And pray those steps remain the same

I am lost without your guidance
I grow fearsome of the beckoning light
If I cried you a river would you sail it?
Or watch it gleam at the dark of night.

And if I met my dad before I was born
I would tell him
"Let her go"

"Let her live, smile, be loved"
"Let her be hurt without your touch"
"Let her laugh with others"
"Cry tears with others"
"Let her life be hers to clutch"

I know I won't exist
And I know you will have lost her
But better for me not to breathe
And better for you just to grieve
Than give her the life that cost her

I drag myself back, further cracked
To this feat
I cannot help but envision
The poison I must reek

Left as lambs to all slaughter
Change is all but skin deep
“Well you’re your fathers daughter”
And with those words
I weep.

For every silence I take
My breath rattles the earth
You avoid my gaze
As if I’m midst casting a curse

You weren’t turned into stone
Yet my heart weighs heavy
So I’ll lay down and sink
Into the dragons cold underbelly
Orchid Oct 2024
I just don’t want to lose him

“My darling I know,
And your love is beautiful as it buds
As it grows
But for every Rose that spouts
From the ground
There’s a million thorns
You must bear
As a crown”

All I know is to run
And chase
Lay idle and glum
Invoke pity
In which I am known to succumb
My attention is glazed
To the onlookers hum
Yet where is my friend?
My gold-haired chum

"He's gone"
Unfound
My heart is a drum
Left beaten
I yell amongst the onlookers shun
"He'll return"
I lie
To indulge in the numb
Night rattled my mind
So I'll wait for the sun
