The lonely knight wandered the endless dark valley and rotten carcasses,
heavy and exhausted he continued on.
He crawled away inches from death for the princess of his life,
his lover,
for he'd do anything for her.
She was his everything.

You'll be okay,
Take my hand and follow me into the water
Swim with me into the depths
Feel your body become the waves
Pretend to be the light that
Shimmers from above
Everything will be alright
Until you forget how to breathe
Suffocate and drown
- SkullsNBones

Under these stars

I lay by your side

Love is a metaphor.

Love is being able to understand, care, and give

unconditionally

I hold your hand in mine,

My heart would give its entirety to you

Love is a home and a safe place

To me you are perfect

I smile whenever I'm near you

Love is sacrifice.

Love is loyal.

Love is patient.

Love is strong.

With my entire heart,

I love you.

- SkullsNBones

Your mind is
p o w e r f u l

Your thoughts
d e s t r u c t i  e


Though your
heart is
f a i l i n g

you continue to
c r e a t e

Your lips are
s i l e n t

to the pain
you must
e n d u r e

- SkullsNBones

Swiftly I'm carried
by malevolence

Floating away on the
ferry by Charon

Thrown away by
the stained hands

Forgotten into
the darkness

- SkullsNBones

You gave so much
yet left too soon,

I took your love for granted
and now my goodbyes are
only my own.

I can still remember
our good times,
vividly and happily,
I loved that so much.

I walk in your steps and live
in your memory,
My heart not of sorrow
but of love.

My love for you that
never ceased.

- SkullsNBones

To live is to coexist

with your demons,

the biggest challenge that

has the strongest

people of all.

You are strong.

We are stronger,

together.

- SkullsNBones

Wherever we
travel,
no matter how
far apart
or
how far are
houses is,
you will
always
be my home.

- SkullsNBones

There's love in this hate
Passion in the flames
I'll be the monster that hurts you,
The lover of your desires
And you the change that makes me better
To be the guardian and swear to protect you,
Shield you and have you as mine
There's others that deserve you
Your sweet eyes and caring soul
But no one will love as strong as I
We tear down the castle walls
Storm the castle and conquer our siege
Oh of course, darling,
I still love you,
Though you're in his arms instead of mine
- SkullsNBones

We've come so far

Chasing butterflies in the sky

Wandering valleys and mountains alike

But as the road splits we must depart

And bid a farewell to our fateful partner

In light that perhaps we may find another

So dashing and handsome such as she before our conclusion

- SkullsNBones

Darling,
I'm tired
Tired of long nights
Yearning to be free
Tired of an aching heart
Unable to be pulled out
Oh darling,
My feet bleed from
trying to catch up
Darling when will
I be free?
Oh darling,
I'll be free when I reach the stars
Reach your burning smile
When I actually mean
something to you...

- SkullsNBones

I want to be
free
as the
birds in the sky

To feel the
breeze
brush against my
scarred flesh

To have my
heart
no longer pound
in fear

No longer
feel
my skin squeezing the
life out of me each and every day

I
want to
be
happy

I
want to
be
free

I am a
caged
bird yearning for
freedom where there is none.

- SkullsNBones

I drag my
feet on this
endless
road
with no
direction
and no
sense of
h o p e
a desire
for more
in this
empty
wasteland

- SkullsNBones

I can't bear you being in pain

Weep on my shoulders
and let me hold you.
Let me comfort until
the pain fades away
until you can see that
you are safe and sound
beyond my arms and
in this vast world.
I hold you by no bounds
but safety until you
are free to fly away.
That you may soar free and happy,
for that is all I want for you in this
miserable life.
Be free,
love.

- SkullsNBones

I was a king sitting on a

bed of stone

Without a crown,

without wealth and prosper

But then I remembered

the most valuable and

rarest gem of all

Her hand in mine I

knew I was blessed to

call her mine

- SkullsNBones

Fly away with me
allow me to extend
my arms around
you snd keep you
safe
make you happy
make you loved

- SkullsNBones

To you,
the past
defined me.

The way I spoke
offended you.

If there was such
a light as you
described then
why did you attempt
to change me?

Change my entirety,
change who I am.

Perhaps it was the
way I whispered
my anxiety and doubts
that scared you,

or perhaps it was
just your own.

I know now that
you cage me still
under your daggers
and soft feathers

I use my light
to carry on with
my life,

now ridden of
your awfulness.

But you continue to
push me down,

even from afar.
Oh so cruel.

It is not I
who needs to
change,
it's you.

- SkullsNBones

Goodnight little moths,

flying home to the moon

When the sun sets,

I welcome the stars

Little fireflies dance,

my heart intertwine with yours

The crickets chirp softly,

Our hips sway with the song

As dawn sets and night fades away,

Our lips touch one last time

Goodnight to the love of my life,

You are my night and sky

- SkullsNBones

How am I supposed to express

what I cannot feel?

To show love and compassion

where I have none.

What I don't speak

I show through tears

Tears of sorrow

and the pain I suffer.

- SkullsNBones

Assume
assume
to always
presume
makes me
feel just
awful
- SkullsNBones

I saw a man on a hill
Overlooking a valley that stretched over miles
With tears drenched on his cheeks

I knew by the shovel in his hand
And the mound beside his feet
He was sad

The gravestone was nameless
And when I peered over to see
There was nothing there

That's when I saw a man take his life
Falling thousands of feet into hell
But I thought he was an angel

He wasn't sad,
He was in pain.
And I didn't realize that in time.
So I took myself and stood on a hill
Overlooking a valley that stretched over miles
With tears drenched on my cheeks

I didn't know why but
I held the shovel in my hand
Beside the hole in the ground

I was sad
I wanted to **** myself
I hate myself

They didn't know,
That I was in pain.
And didn't realize that this time.
- SkullsNBones

You loved me
just like the
rest
Singing melodies
and soft
spoken words
Woo me and
entangle
me with hate
into your
web of
lies and
deceit

- SkullsNBones

Midnight is slowly slipping away from my life

Desperately I try to hold her close but she slips away between my fingers like grains of sand

The moon disappears behind the rolling hills that I quickly run to, wishing Midnight to turn and run into my arms

To feel the soft breeze brush against my cheek and the softness of her hand in mine

Our eyes that stared at the stars that guided us home,
now stealing her away from me

The sun rises and my body collapses and only then did I know that Midnight was gone

- SkullsNBones

Lay your
head
on my
shoulders
and let us
rest this
endless
war

- SkullsNBones

Words
are like
w o u n d s
that
never heal:
impactful,
deep and
something
you never
forget
- SkullsNBones

Empty home

White sheets over furniture

Stains on carpets with

Cobwebs in corners

//

Echoes of a life

Happy and loving

Now ridden and gone

Only memories lie here

//

Your smile and laughter

Now shadows and pain

This was once a home

But I linger no more

- SkullsNBones

You know they love

eachother when a

thousand words is

expressed through a

simple smile

- SkullsNBones

In the end I'm slowly dying,

This painful toxin stealing my strength

You hold my hand and say,

"You are not alone"

and I feel right.

In this nightmare I wait for you

For the love and courage you give me

I won't go until your hand is in mine

Together you make me strong

Together I make you brave

- SkullsNBones

Take me back to a place I call
home,

Where the hill rolls and the sun
shines,

The birds coo and the crickets
sing,

The hearth that burns with a uplifting
warmth,

To a place beside
you,

A place I call
home.

- SkullsNBones

Beneath these moon
and stars I love you
forever more
From dusk til dawn we
hold our hands
Our lips and heart
sewn together til we
ever part
- SkullsNBones

I'm awake in the moment
But I'm dreaming of you

My eyes may be open
But to me I'm right beside you

By wrist may be empty
But I'm waiting for you

I see your happy smiles
Clouded visions in my mind

What joy it brings me
The thought of being with you

- SkullsNBones

I watched her in the gallows,

Her fever rising by death's clock

Her smile explicit yet warm

I could see the pain in her eyes

Glossy and red with age

I held her wavering hand

Her candle exhuasted

- SkullsNBones

I grow
lonely
by the
second
without
you
here
- SkullsNBones

My stories
may be untrue
but trust
that my
bleeding heart
isn't lying
- SkullsNBones

I'm left to wander the night alone
Cloaked in darkness with my hands reaching
for a glimpse of hope

I feel nothing except for the robes of death
wrapping their arms around me in the cold

Quickly I call your name yet you do not hear
You are not here

You are there in a land of color
Vivid and full laughter with your mind
distracted on beautiful things

You forget the goddess you swore to protect now comforted by death's hold because
of your betrayal

- SkullsNBones

When words are
thrown at me,
hit me and drag me
down to my knees.

My mind is
dismantled
by the gleam in
your eyes and the
tone of your words.

You raise your
fist and demand
me to fight back,
but I cannot.

I have nothing to say.

Silence is my
best answer.

- SkullsNBones

Can you remember how

things used to be?

How the trees blossomed in green and

danced in the wind?

Your smile that brightened

the entire world and how you

loved the adrenaline of every

moment.

Can you see our fall?

How the red autumn leaves

have fallen and turned brown,

dead to the abyss

Your frown that scares

people away when you want

nothing more than the sun to

banish the clouds away

- SkullsNBones

You cloud my mind vividly,
dancing with me in the clouds
and holding me close in your arms

Your voice that calls my name
in the wind and your smile as bright
as the sun setting beyond my eyes

The emotions that spark my
body as your lips touch my bare
skin and your hands that brush me

The love and passion that
flamed between us and connected
us like chemistry

You were everything to me.
Like the setting sun and
the embers that embarked us,

I will never forget you,
how could I not?
