Shattered
Zachary Ampora Apr 2013
We always tried to fall
Together
But when we broke
We shattered like glass.
Apart,
Lost,
And damaged.
But mostly,
Alone.
Because we fell together,
We crashed apart.
I dont even

Life is ridiculous
Zachary Ampora Mar 2013
Life is ridiculous because
With every tear that falls
A flame grows a bit bigger

So don't you feel awful for sobbing?
You're creating
A wildfire
I DON'T

Because life needs the excitement
Yeah, people're gonna die
But with each death
We see life

We get something that happens
And we gain the opposite
Which can be amazing
Like with losing a lisp
And gaining the confidence to speak

Or

It can be damaging
Because we often gain new friends,
So what do we gain?
A bully, an enemy, pain.

But

Despite a sea of faults
We keep going,
Fighting
Surviving.
BUT WHY

Because

We accept these faults
And hold the good dear
But don't let the bad disappear
As they will help us grow.

Life is ridiculous
But we keep fighting
Because under all the pain
We see beauty
I don't know what I just wrote I'm sorry

Falling
Zachary Ampora Mar 2013
You and me are falling
See the bodies dropping
Everyone is dying
Of this plague.

You and me don't have it
Everyone could be saved
If not for me.

I always mess up
I am always failing
I should be dying
Not them

But that's not how it works
We all know our quirks
I guess it's one of the perks
Of my life.

We never gave up
We never caved in
But we are slowly dying
Oh, no.

Tell me what is happening
Everything is changing
All the time is slowing
Outside.

No one's even breathing
Or is it just me
Looking around
all I see

Are tons of bodies
Holding the floor
Look around
And see a thousand more

We are not alone
They are not, too.
We should stay together
Cuz we're dying too.

The disease is spreading
Everyone is falling
Please dear stop crying
It hurts me.

We can only get better
Everything is all right
'Cept the fact that we're dead,
It's okay.

Baby, look around you
You're not alone
Look, see you have me
Til our end.

Come closer, dear
Zachary Ampora Mar 2013
Please
I need you
But
It seems you're getting
F  A  R  T  H  E  R  A  W  A  Y
Stop it, love
Come back again
I wish to smell you again.
You smell nice don't you?
Oh, yes.
The smell of
P A I N A N D A G O N Y
Come back dear,
I miss your touch.
Your silky slit wrists
They give me a tingle at every touch
Because
T H E P A I N I S G O I N G A W A Y
I miss your voice, dear.
The screams
The cries
The violent sobs of anguish.
They tell me
It'll be okay once I'm done with you
Because
Y O U A R E A M U R D E R E R
But not the kind you see in action films
Or in young adult novels
You are a weapon of mass destruction
T O Y O U R S E L F
Just stop looking in the mirror
dear
Then you'll see.
Just one more slit, love.
The pain will end
One more.
That's it.
