In Absence Of I

Been trudging down this desolate road for decades, The vultures are circling but the body still persists. Life, love, and everything precious eventually fades, Still pretending there’s more to a life than this. The proverbial pen is starting to run out of ink, Feels like everything has been told in this story. Keep tapping the […]

Candles

Walking until the pain in my soles, Might eclipse this pain in my soul. I do not feel the pain in hot coals, As I do just being alone as I get old. I drag myself up endless stairways, Trying to elude a burden of shame. Haven’t been to sleep in many days, Still too […]

Relapse

This overwhelming emptiness is killing me, I have never felt so replaceable until now. Although I know that I’m not good enough, All that I’ve ever asked for was a chance. When all I’ve had to hold onto is a dream, As your voice is clearly filled with doubt, I feel like I have wasted […]

Nothing For A Nobody

I have never felt this defeated before, As the will to live eludes me these days. Many brick walls have beaten me down, And demoralized me to just quit trying. I don’t feel the desire to live anymore, No drugs in the world can keep me sane, The only true resting place is the ground, […]

The Inevitable Heartbreak

Detached myself from this world, Gave away everything I ever loved, For just one moment of happiness, One moment that never appeared. Traded my heart away, what for? This sorrow fits me like a glove, Prayers are only a drawn out wish, For waves to carry me out of here. Tired of playing the childish […]

Erased

I’ve been asking myself for a reason to go on, For so many years now that it repulses me, I’ve been erased from so many other memories, That I can only erase my own to make it alright. I’ve been questioning and denying God so long, While my faith remains unfulfilled and empty, How many […]

Land Mines

Some days I feel the need to call, To hear the sound of your voice, Just so I can rub it in that I’m okay, And I don’t miss anything about you. Instead I bash my head into a wall, For ever making you my first choice, Since you never really cared anyway, And I’m […]

Immoral

Laying next to the empty shell of a girl, She’s old enough to be called a woman, But still too young to want to grow up, There aren’t words to make her change. I can’t even show my affection anymore, Without her insults getting under my skin, To think this is what she considers love, […]

Beneath The Sun

Standing at the entrance to an open door, Greeted by the silence inside of the room, Another April has come and it too shall pass, And I’ll still be here lost and empty handed. This disappointment I cannot stand anymore, All of the things said about me are all true, I’m too cold and bitter […]

Wishing Well

Sitting in a dead room ten shades of black, Been slowly picking off all the old scabs, And piling them neatly into a sacred spot, Saving them for a trip to the wishing well. Trying to remove the knives from my back, Once upon a time I’d cry, now I just laugh, Disloyalty and mistrust […]
