Pain erupts in my chest
Like sadness has just cracked my sternum
With its cold, gray hammer.
I cannot touch this hurt
With tears or bandages.
I am simply bleeding internally,
Wondering why anniversaries cut so deep,
But it's not that I nearly lost myself,
Held hands with the reaper.
It's that you preceded me death,
And I wonder why in the end it was you and not me.

if i could lay out my sad thoughts,
there'd be valleys of it.

All My favorite songs are sad now
All our favorite drugs i do alone now.
Im weak, your death turned me into a zombie clone now. Death I fear now..life is different now.
Sulking in the absence of your being, i wont say your soul, its with me and it is saved now.
Ur by my side everyday, especially today..
its so cold out.
Snow jus falling down, wish it was you now
Mom jus got engaged yesterday n ur not here now..
I wish u were here for this drought..
Im still mentally down and out.
sad at the fact u wont be with me to blow congratulation clouds.
...get drunk as a family until time is no longer Found.
I miss you man, please stay with me.. don't let me drown.
I'll wear your crown .
one day ill be found, til then...
Love, the rebelious clown.

I imagine that the wind flowing through my hair
is your hand weaving through the strands,
as I stand
in the midnight air...

I imagine that,
alone in the place where I used to hold you close
as my tears begin to enclose me
in the midnight air...

The emptiness in my eyes,
The truth behind my lies,
The fall before my rise,
And the goodbyes;

It scares me.

The dark beneath my skin,
The light within my sins,
The voice that loudly sings,
And my broken wings;

It scares me.

The wounds I can't heal,
The pain I can't feel,
The loss I can't deal,
And when I am real;

It scares me.

The silence in my little talks,
The stillness in my moonlit walks,
The thought of separate ways,
And my numbered days;

It scares me.

The demons under my bed,
The words spinning in my head,
The blood in my sweat,
And my cold breath;

It scares me.

Dig deep
No *****
Dig deep
Facade

Dig deep
Hidden
Dig deep
Forbidden

Dig deep
Treasure
Dig deep
Forgotten forever

A caress from many years ago
Has left a scar behind
My body will not heal the wound
It is left there to remind

You stroked my arm with an open palm
You smiled while it burned
I craved for all the affection
Too late, my lesson was learned

Now I sit here and touch every mark
That’s branded on my skin
They’re rotting below the surface
Destroying me from within
