I am undone by your
eyes
burning through my
lies.

Should be gone
but instead I am here
leaving scars like
a human normally does
and falling hopelessly
in love with
death.

Not a face, but an eye,
a single glowing eye.
Watching you and I.

We think it cares, but it doesn't.
It just floats by, disinterested.
A glowing eye in the sky.
An illusion of something that cares,
blind to love and heartache.
Unaware of suffering,
ignorant to it all.

The light it shines, is not real.
Shallow, hollow and devoid of devotion.
Empty of emotions.

Every night, it watches you and I.
Watching but not seeing,
a single, glowing, blind eye.

Are you my springtime,
Here to drive away the cold hands
That envelop my heart?
Warm the earth
So I can blossom.
I promise this time
I will grow towards the sun.

Photos are fragments of time,
never meant to exist,
parables of the past become a talk.
Do you get the gist?

A sorrowful and joyful experience,
as you gaze at your life,
from another view.
We're all animals in a cage,
clueless and content.

In our fragile existence,
one thing is secure:
A mark in time at our final hour.
Is time meant to be shattered in this way for our own use?

i worry about him all
the time*
i told you and
you shook your head like
you knew all too well

eleven nights later,
you tell me to get some
sleep, you say i worry about
you all the time


and i'm starting to think
it's code for people who
are trying to say 'i love you'
to someone who doesn't
love them back

do i even make sense?  when the **** did my life become a ******* love triangle?  this is ridiculous
Confusing poems
Are too hard to really read
So I stick with these.

don't**
ask me what i think about poetry
i never think about poetry
but
sometimes more often than others
words will creep into my skull
and dance around my soul
they'll bicker with each other
and grasp at each others hair
until i am forced to release them
from the damp of my fingertips
and exhale them
like the dense clouds of smoke
that they are
