you are the soundtrack to my life.
your breath is the rhythm to my walk.
your heartbeat is my refrain.
Liz Carlson Nov 2017
all they do is complain,
that life is such a pain.
all these things in vain,
please just refrain.
Corey Zornes Jun 2017
I am your headache,
gentle resentment
on a Friday evening.
I am four beers blunt
and two shots tired.
I am flirting with life
like a closeted man.
I am flailing my arms
hailing a ride home.
I am ready for sleep
but don't have dreams.
I am sorry I can't be
everything you want.

Nobody else right here
except for me,myself and i
yes i'm only one but not alone
a bare truth witnesses by my naked eye

Those silhouettes made by shuttering lights
comes from shimmering splendid nights
as i look
merely at the life size mirror inside this house*
i saw...as well as my shadows roving around at my real image*

Oh no! Not again.
How can i retain?
For me to maintain
my endanger refrain!
If you are not the one,
Then whose with me?
Co'z i want somebody to share
Someone who can dare
to understand the worth of we!

I will  lay down my pen for the sake of "Love"!
I will let my papers long for that Ink... for that dance with my words!
I will take that pain to keep the pain away for those i care for!

Silly.....Crazy....Manic!

Better than a hurt or a pain that i won't live with....
Better than a label that... will...

Let you down!

"F"
"Father, Father
Don't leave me here
Father, Father
Promise me you won't"

"Oh son, my dearest Son
Father is here
But please do not weep,
Father had to leave for us to live"

"But Father, my Father
I can't bear
For I was a child,
Losing you is my fear"

"My Son, my Son
Don't be scared
Father will return
And I'll drown all your mare"

"Father, Father
I'll wait for your return
Father, Father
Promise me you will"

"My Son, my dearest Son
Just wait in here
And promise, I will"

"Father? Father?
It's been years
Mother is sick
Still waiting for your return"

"Father? Father?
I'm afraid
You promise you will be back
But still, waiting here in vain"

"Father? Father?
I'm afraid
Mother is gone
I'm still here, holding the promises you will"

open the floodgates
water now broken
dead stone weight escapes
breath never drawn
mother's tears
let me hold It
stillborn nocturn
broken refrain

Hope is my refrain
because logic didn't work
and passion ran dry
and I wouldn't feel as bad
if our roles were reversed,
but I hate that you have it and I don't
so hope is my refrain

because I really thought I was feeling better
and maybe it is time
to search it out,
but I just can't do this
if I keep dreaming tangents
so hope is my refrain

because it's true
we're better off now than ever before
but it's still hard to see
and harder to feel
that my it is better than yours
if we were to compare,
but we can't
so hope is my refrain

because I'm the one on the up and up
but I hate that you still wear the necklace
that I gave you for luck
when you light another match
and burn another fire,
and I can't take that necklace back
so hope is my refrain

because we have to believe
that we all find ourselves
and each other
and there will be a smile and a laugh
to light up every day
and to that end,
hope is my refrain.
