The Dice Lands On One

I swim
in a sea of thoughts
and resent these mirrored walls
in my watery grave.
Mirrors reflect the face I despise,
my own.

I am ugliness.
Black and tears.
Shattered mirrors
shade my heart
in gray.
That ideal,
that flawless dream,
is nearly (and completely)
unreachable.

I cannot escape the glass.
It breaks in two as my eyes
bleed the truth
in reflections I shy from,
cry from,
want to die from.

There is beauty in
the abruptness
of silence,
as the dice lands
on one.

Emotional Prescription

Constant struggle
and continued trouble,
the pair of you burn yourselves
into the retinas of my eyes.
This prescription...
what a failure.
I'm still as blind as before.
The black,
is still black.
Blackest black
of the midnight before.
Anger,
my burning anger...
it stands,
illuminated
on my troubled mountain
of a lie.
Shaking the life out of myself
is reminiscent of how
my hands tremble
at the sight of
those ashtrays of excuses.
They're full of it,
like me.

The Attic

Old clothes

lay under years
of memories.
Ripped and torn,
they lay unworn
and unused.

The mismatched socks
no longer search
for their pair.

The shoes
no longer wish
for new soles.

The sweaters
have succumbed to moths,
their fabric punctured
by time.

The clock ticks away,
uncaring and numb
to its dilapidation.

The curtains' threads
languish, unraveled
and frayed,
undeserving of refashion.

Time,
you are unwarranted.
Change,
you are unwelcome.

The Swings

It's always been just me
up There.
The rush of wind
has been kind.
The sky,
much too generous.

Like Looking At Negatives i...

Dried petals
lay discarded and decrepit
on the floor.
Like the memories I used
to moisten with my tears,
those flowers
lay dead with years
of neglect.
Just a fading memory
of a mistake.

When the world fell down

And all we know is secrets, mouth stitched shut in this pandemonium.
And all we know is honesty, when all the world's a stage.
And all we know is ennui, eyes wide open under water.

Disapointment is a lonely road,
one that will not lead home,
it leads down these walls and in between the floors, back to what I know.

And all we know is lines, years of time etching through the marble of your skin.
And all we know is stars, watching the sky with unforgiving eyes.
And all we know is the day, the day when the world fell down.
And the sky cracked in two,
And the trees reached a little higher,
And the clouds took their invisible passengers soaring a little further,
The day love saved my life and took me home to you.

Hope is a lonely road,
one that leads to many homes,
it reminds me of empty calls and visits to friends I forget, back to what I thought I knew.

And all we know is friendship, a light in the middle of this chaos.
And all we know is light, perpetual in this dark-crowded room.
And all we know is faith, when they ripped it from your heart.
And all we know is the day, the day when the world fell down.
And the sky cracked for you,
And the trees reached their arms towards heaven,
And the clouds rode these weary spirits home,
The day love saved my life and I said goodbye to you.

life

life is hard

life is often scarred

life is what you make it

life is sometimes wasted

life is there

life is everywhere

life is everything

life is a dirty diamond ring

my thoughts too much

as i move on

my mind will escape me

into a place without you

its a place i don't want to be

my thoughts start to leave me

disappearing never to be seen

then darkening as you walk away

soon to be gone i try to think

my deepest fears

the worst of the hurts

all joining against me

my once worst thoughts

as my mind grows weaker

so does my heart

as i laugh on the outside

i bleed rich blood inside

my hidden thoughts

now bidden for you

the pain to much to bear

but now bearing for you

my soft unguarded heart

now hard and barred from you

these horrible thoughts

all about you running in my head

this pain you caused

to much for one to handle

this slowly dieing person

once loved too much

why does this hurt?

why do i still care?

because it was betrayal

because it was you

crying for help

dieing to be alone

these thoughts to confusing

these cuts not deep enough

all my worries come true

all these thoughts to horrifying

all because of you

all because of them

the world begins to darken

my body now weak

my heart beat slowing

those thoughts now leaving

my body now cold

the world now bleak

my heart beat stopped

those thoughts now gone

all because of you

this was your goal

all because of them

they didn't even care

all because of you

Lies

im alive but im losin all my drive
cause everythin weve been through
and everythin about you
seems to be a lie
a guiltless twisted lie
that made me learn to hate you
or hate myself for lettin us pass by
