My past came knocking,

and it brought a battering ram.
River Reed Mar 2020
Fire casts no shadow
But soot may stain the wall
Your love burns so shallow
That I've no soot at all

Now I cast a shadow
As your flame burns another

How high must I swim to
So that I may be uncovered

Please...

Don't leave me to drown
Rather burn me alive
I'll be craving our sound
Beyond the day I die
River Reed Mar 2020
I can doubt everything, even doubt itself and the odds attributed, yet there are only two answers: they are or they aren't.

So here's a paradox in which you must know something that determines you can't know anything. Even this.
River Reed Feb 2020
Left in the dust
Missing our lust

The love
Your touch

The smell of your hair
Too much to bare

Naked is my heart
My chest: ripped apart

No more colours

Choking to drowned

Surround my being
Feel my heart beating
For I cannot

Where are my feelings?
Only thoughts

I want emotions
To feel unbroken
Flow from within
Extend my essence

It's midnight
I turn to face you
And you're smiling
Eyes shining as they soak into mine and
I'm part of something

Your number is blocked
For you
I cannot resist me
Resisting us

The bottle's been drained
Buying in bulk
I can't
Restrain
Refrain
Contain

From us
From it
From was
From capacity

So I'm giving up
Not on life
But on living
River Reed Feb 2020
It's too early

For lucidity
For now
For your memory

Endow me with unconsciousness
Capacity for unaware bliss
Atrocities are my waking moments
It's too early to be writing this

It's too early

For living
In melancholy
Amidst amiss purgatory

And yet
With these and without this
I'd be bawling
River Reed Feb 2020
The sun neither rises
So it dawns on me
Nor does it fall
So sets my capacity

Merely a spinning ball

For my immaculate dream
This cosmic scheme

Lies; beyond my control
River Reed Feb 2020
You only wake me from behind closed eyes

My pounding heart electrifies

Then I go to school
