It’s quiet here
Nothing has changed
Can’t bring myself
To rearrange

Chasing my ghosts
Unearthing my glory days
Rejuvenating my heart
Trying to take the pain away

All these words you speak to me
They’re from another land
You don’t have to raise your voice

I’m going through changes
My life is up and down
I’m looking for an answer
It seems they can’t be found

A million miles ago you see
Star that I just don’t see anymore
Lost on journeys we walked on
Lost are voices heard along the way

I don’t know if this is the right way
I’m too busy walking in a straight line
I’m not sure if this is my way
I’m too dizzy living in another time

It’s been the loneliest summer without you
Without you, I have no one left to turn to
I don’t think I’ll ever be able to forget you
As I remember each moment we went through

I’m a lost cause, I’m losing time
I am nothing but a fragile spine
I want you, but you’re not mine
Oh I want you, but we’re not right

Poetry challenge: ABC Poem.
An unending dream
Bouquets of flowers
Candlelight delights
Dancing until the midnight hours
Every single day
Face of an angel
Giving more than I could ask
Holding you tight

This life is a dream
That’s just how it seems
Open my eyes just to see
That I’m waiting for you to wake me

Another day, turned to stone
Here without you on my own
Sad melodies falling down like water
Drowning in an endless symphony

Love, return
Light up my shadow
Let your warmth embrace me
As I yearn for your tender touch
A long and lonely time
I’ve been through more than I’d want to
So much anger, so much pain
The wounds are too hard to heal

That slow burn as we wait
While the darkness bruises the sun
I only feel you with and against me
As the clock begins to run

I can barely see your eyes
Hiding behind a ripped veil
You and I in harmony
Now it’s just an urban tale

Dig up the bones but leave the soul alone
Alone with a broken soul
Heart with a gaping hole
Dark twisted fantasies turned to reality
Kissing death and losing my breath
Midnight hours cobble street passages
Ridden with quiet, forgotten savages

It brings tears to my eyes
To see the world ripping at the seams
While I sit here alone at home
Thinking of all I can in my dreams
As I close my eyes
I think of my innocence
Being drowned in the sea
Of pain and violence
Tears roll down the eyes of corpses
Staining the water with blood red
Torn souls and broken hearts
The courage within torn to shreds

I never took you for a runner
One to leave it all behind
I never took you for a coward
One to ferry all the memories of our lives
I had put my name down
As you pointed the finger at me

I’m building this house on the moon
Like a lost astronaut
Looking at you like a star
From a place the world forgot
There’s nothing that I can do
The brightness of the sun
Will give me just enough
To bury my love for you

I didn’t want to be the one to forget
I thought of everything I’d never regret
A little time with you is all that I get
That’s all we need because it’s all we can have
One thing I never see the same way around
I don’t believe it as I slip on the ground

I sit here contemplating the future
But you’re all I think of
We try and stay afloat
But our love would always sink us
I pretend the problem’s solved
Once I forget the question
But you ask again
Because you don’t learn your lesson

In this competition of anger
We go almost out of sight
Your smiles that destroy
Only your ego is left
You lose us in your torments
When you came back
You weren’t the same as before
Your lies spoiled the person you could be

Bright undefined disillusions
Have painted my way
They’ve erased black and white
I see only a vivid grey
Left and right are hard to see
Wrong or right is hard to be
Uncertainty grows on me like a tree
Enveloping me until I can barely see

I’m thinking it over
The way you make me feel so wanted
But later it causes me shame
I want to lean on your shoulder
I wish that I was allowed
But I don’t want to cause any pain
And I’m feeling like we’ve got nothing to gain

Tonight I’ll find a wishing well
Tomorrow’s a new day
Tonight I’ll find a wishing well
Before it’s too late
I need someone to show me the way
Why do my dreams keep slipping away?
Spent a whole lifetime running away

What is time?
What is this thing that goes on without pause?
If it did not pass
Then where could it have been?
It must have been somewhere
It has passed
So where is it now?
It must be somewhere

The same old room
I’m waking up again
Windows offer no relief
I’m edged toward the end
My skin’s a book of sorrow
Composed of empty lines
Story of a withered youth
A story of decline
