Napalm City
Unknown Soldier May 2014
An old soldier,
tormented on a tired battlefield,
finds peace
reuniting with an old lover.

He's been fighting so hard
Fighting so long
Fought until he thought he won

Now he knows
The fight is never over

Only when he gives in
Can he truly stop fighting
Only when he gives up
Can he finally find peace

Familiar sting
Unknown Soldier Dec 2014
My heart still feels you,
I didn't know it could

Now it aches so deep,
It makes me believe,

I will always love you

Because
Unknown Soldier Nov 2014
I want to be madly in love with someone

I want to fall head over heels for them,
I want to run in the wind with them,
I want to be lost with them

I want to fall into a chasm far below this earth where nothing exists outside of us

I want someone to adore,
I want to create something otherworldly outside of this life,
I want to be caught up in our own state of being,
I want to explore that world,
And the one that surrounds us

I want the light to shine on us,
So that when were together,
Nothing else matters

I want someone whose presence I can enjoy,
Whose thought brings me joy,
I want someone who locks me in a stunned gaze,
I want our silence to mean a thousand words

I want someone to laugh with,

I want someone to feel this way,

I want the world in her eyes

Boom De ya-da
Unknown Soldier Aug 2014
The whole world is dying
Our system is corrupt
Broken

Were dying off and its our fault
Were killing each other over words,
not knowing the meaning

For reasons that can change
Day to day

Yet still we look up to the sky
Screaming
begging the question
"Why?"

A life lost
Unknown Soldier Jun 2014
All this year I've been crying,
Mourning the loss of my life,
Inside slowly dying.

What do you do,
When you see everything you worked for fall?

What can you say,
When you can't bring yourself to end it all?

Why do I keep doing this?
Why do I only cry?
Live inside a sweet kiss?
Simply because I don't know why.

The happy ending is that you're still here.

Were it for you
Unknown Soldier Aug 2014
You can find me in the stalls writing lines of how I'm a deteriorating shell of my former self,
nothing but a faded shadow,
a hollow casket of myself in a prison cell

I'm back to my old ways,
Too scared to run away,
Too scared to stay,

Yet somehow I miss the days gone by,
Not for the moments,
The people,
The person

Help me get your heart off my sleeve,
It's been roughly a year and I can't hardly breathe,
Don't worry about never being mine,
Lest the tears of what could have been,
Stain the silhouette of time.

If you only knew
How much I love you

Then maybe some day
Some how
Love would find a way

— The End —
