What a time to be alive
So sure that every day is mine
"There is a time for everything!"
"God knows what life can bring!"

A worthless remedy for broken souls
To bring them back to feeling "whole"
The only day that was guaranteed
It was the day that had already been

I heard it once, spoken, in a hushed tone-
Was I awake to hear these words?
Was i in company or was i alone,
To listen to these words in that hushed tone?

"Do not go silently into the night"

Those words ate into an innocuous soul -
From the time I was young, to the time i was old
Those words lingered with a tenacious hold

I misspent time and felt so much pain
Life felt less the blessing and more a bane
I trudged endless lonely roads
And witnessed relations form and corrode

I existed to exist - obligated to survive
No star of any story, no one to thrive
I was the one who was seen yet unseen
Just another cog functioning in a machine

My words were heard but never heard
My future as futile as my spoken word
Silence fell upon healthy ears
Silence - the one thing we all fear

No stranger to temptation
Yet i find myself here -
This self destruction
Compells me beyond fear

Life's trappings cannot hold -
The fears of mortal souls,
Forced forward to an end
One will never suspend

So forth i will stride
Into paths indeterminate -
No longer denied
I will advance with morals forfeit

I took a walk down memory lane
Through moments of  happiness, fear and pain -
To look back and see how i've arrived -
Spurs me on with a stronger stride.
I feel that I've owned every mistake -
And healed moments where my heart would ache,
To view life through the objective lens -
Pulls me through days where it feels like the end
Echoes of the past follow me through life
To remind me of much kinder times.
Sometimes i feel really sad about the crazy decisions i've made.

I'm afraid
To say i miss you,
To say that i care.
To say that i love you,
To say i'll be there.

I'm afraid
Of those who stand
In our way, every day

I'm afraid
I can't give you
The love that you pursue

I'm afraid
They'll destroy me
And through me, destroy you.
Something i wrote thinking about the complicated relationship i have. **** you, WDK.

Abysmal eyes
The telling disguise
Of an unrefined
Disarray of feelings.

Here you despair
For the bond we once shared
It remains -
In disrepair.

oOo

Your voiceless cut -
Like knife through butter;
Sharp, deliberate, clean.
Tears welled in eyes
Mouth a firm line
(I still don't know what you mean)

You are stubborn and strong
(No, you're never wrong!)
And you lack the sense to see.
I never wanted to fear,
Yet we are here -
I ask now, how could this be?

oOo

You speak to me silence
A voiceless, needless violence
Silence!
- It solves nil

All hate -
This way will never dissipate.
Fouls years of love,
...do what you will
Had an argument with mum. Inspired me to write this.

What do i see in you?
I look beyond the lines.
For there are few people,
Whose smile reaches their eyes
Me contemplating photographs again.
