I have this song
And it makes me sad
I think of you
And I know your dead
But still
I think of you
A faded image of
Straight black hair
Piercing brown eyes
A mischievous smile
Dark blue slippers
Pen marks on your hand
And a handmade satchel strewn across your shoulder
But it’s your smile
Your gorgeous heart pounding
Smile
It was so unbelievably infectious
**** you
:(


(Tear drops aren’t much use
When the boy who stole your heart is only but a memory, fading into lose
Forgotten parts. Which is why I write of you. Its the least I can do.)

You haven't visited of late. Not once.
You use to appear so unexpectedly and catch me by surprise, awaking with a flush of hot paralysis and then sinking into the abyss of reality.
Your there and I'm here
I'm stuck and your free,
while I linger within my clustered mind hoping that you'd find me and hold me in your gaze.
No matter how absurd the image may be, its the feeling of a possibility and chance that could never be but could have been, had I been with you.
I wish you could see me tonight and assure me that I was right.
You felt the hunger within me and the light that beamed when you were of reach,
but both of us were unsure of ourselves and our wisdom.
Well now I say to you, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry for being safe and scared and young.
Whatever I did do that made you think that we could be, it'll always be, because you were mine and I was yours. Until our end.
To my high school crush who died and visited my dreams for so many years. Where have you gone? I miss you

A whiff tickles my nostril hairs and dances down into my throat. A taste. Tinge or so of ash and fume, cloudy remnants, grainy shards. I listen. Deep heavy air. Colours encircled. I watch. It’s beautiful. Hazy glares clustered hues dispersing slowly piercing air. It’s a mass. Now no more. There’s smoke in the air. I feel it taste it and watch it dance. Strangely dense yet so light rising stretching flowing and floating. It’s paralysing. This smoke in the air. Now dancing in my throat.
Not sure what to make of this.

When he covers me with love
and plants himself whole,
a chance to grow and make life,
but he just says thats no.
I can’t  make him feel the urge, to grow and be so much more...
to love the lives you make and see them grow and grow.
No I can only respect his wants and move on with hopes of more,
until then i will wait and time will pass and i can no longer expect the same thing.
Why is he such an ***?

A darkness looms over me
Penetrating my soul
It reaches for the deepest parts
And smothers them all whole
No matter where I go
Or how I think
the people I'm with
Or the songs I sing
the darkness is there
consuming me
wringing me dry of all the good in me
But, I've come to realise
something true
the darkness harbours in all of you
Not just me and not just them
not just some but everyone
how do we rid of it?
How have they?
Do they not feel it in the same way?
I'm unsure and I'm scared to ask
What would you do? Had you this task?
Would you fight it? or would you pry?
to so many others who have dreadfully tried?
Or would you concede and declare yourself done?
Allowing the darkness to know it has won?
Your unsure? Great! that makes two
I guess I'll just take the latter
And be one with this thing
Empty and full
With it, it has replaced
My soul and my 'good'
Now a dark empty space
Its all in your head

Black milky skies
Coloured crimson nights
Risen above
Shimmered below
Suns aglow in heat and flow
It dies again to feel the sin
Of a human disgrace
Ignoring this grace
Such pity such regret
People are cruel and people forget
How it is to live how it is to be
Everything in feeling in body, in mind
to be alive to come alive and give a life
Who will ever know such loss?
When everyone just follows
Written a few years ago, my thoughts at the time.

— The End —
