Thank you, :]Welcome to my page ;
I will mostly be posting poetry/song drabbles and rough drafts. Feel free to comment just know depending on how I'm doing I may or may not reply, but I appreciate each and every person who takes the time to read my little rambles.
Burning a candle, moth to a flameYour simple smile, ever in vain
Clotted words and moonlit skies
Half for the pain, ever in lies
I'll watch for you
I'll stay for you
Bones stick out like broken twigs
Every word you say is like a half hoped wish
Steer you along through clouded seas
Ever so close and yet far out of reach
I'll watch for you
I'll stay for you
It's enough you say and now it's done
Everything broken down for some fun
Wish you'll think of me once in a while
But half hearted nostalgia was never your style
I'll still watch for you
I'll still stay for you
It's what I'm made to do
I breathe for you
A brave little soldier, face written in painFamily order is shoved in his name
He grasps to hate like it's his only chance
And brings himself into this self destroying dance
A hand to his chest he seethes with his eyes
It's a fair share for anyone else that tries
Weep little soldier, you tried hard
Alas the youngest brother never gets far
Crowned in a pool of redAnd a bed made of porcelain tiles
The cold grasp of water long since warm
Embraces and holds me
It traces my ribs and tells me it sees me
Even lulls me to close my eyes
I awake in a tub stained crimson
And wipe away silent cries
(and even as the night turns to day and most turn away
I feel my heartbeat in each divot, each cut
an essence dripping from my being
that from I can't accept or run)
I think I may be a dogChained up and howling in pain
I feel as a mutt made for licking wounds
Serves only to bite in vain
Or maybe I am a deer
With an infection in my brain
It’s eating me now, it will turn me inside out
Until I cease from withering away
Or maybe I’m just roadkill
Tragically ended and discarded aside
Now people wrinkle their nose at me
And only hurriedly avert their eyes
In the end I know one thing
I’m horrible and twisted and a disgrace
Because no matter how hard I try
I always seem to only end up creating hate
When the world is too heavyThe lights shine too bright
I look towards outside
And escape misery’s plight
I turn to the sky, which hangs above my hands
Birdsong fills the loneliness, like covering a brand
I fall back down, pleasantly lost among the leaves
A close my eyes against the backdrop of towering trees
Misery loves company, it’s what I’ve been told
But even for lonely, I won’t grant it the hold
That lifts off of my shoulders, every time I decide to roam
I become free with every step, for nature is home
