Afterthought

Passage

I've cleaned out every closet but left yours untouched. Been feeling this lately, so let the low tones carry me down. To the floor, I don't even know anymore. Direction doesn't matter when you have none. We promised to bury parts of us to savor the memories. I never let go and kept them clutched …

Resonate

Don't be still, tender heart For love has finally taken its hold In once empty cavities Now overflowing with gold Keep beating for the first time The barren is long gone Though pain and trouble will stall This beat shall continue on Bleed compassion and empathy For no other reason but to be Truth and …

Steady

I am encased in light and warmth. Untouched by grace and yet, still saved. The land of milk and honey has escaped my grasp. But in return my hands no longer shake. Gone are the false sentiments I chose to believe in. Tipping the scales in my favor, I'll give it all away. I promise. …

Wither

Revive me so I can once again breathe. I keep going to sleep restless, keep waking up alive but not without sacrifice. I remember when you told me you couldn't stay to watch me burn. What does it feel like to leave someone you love? Because I can't seem to shut any door that leads …

Almost Giants

We found each other in a crowded room. Locked arms and danced our pain into beauty. Spun around like little tornadoes, not needing any reasons but just to do it. The things I should've said slowly slipped away. Out of my head, out of my mind. Burned like our clothes caught fire because we were …

Degrees of Separation

I know I haven't been myself lately. Problem is the self you had was never the self I was. Hell, sometimes I feel like someone else lately. I got used to numbing whatever that self was inside becoming what you had, what I thought was the only thing I had. So I cut the rope and …

Trust

Now I've been beaten, broken and shattered. Tattered these clothes off my limbs. Broke my neck on the fall down from abyss to more abyss. But these things have a way of changing don't they? Like looking through a kaleidoscope just less colorful and more gray. These words have a way of repeating themselves. It's like I snatch them …

Transcend

You're mistaken if you think these stitches will hold us together. I was born to fly, always running to die. I speak of death like it means nothing to me. But it means everything. The disconnection between my thoughts and what I see. I've never been afraid to die, and that's what scares me the …

Euphoria

Am I the only one who sold his soul without knowing the outcome? My bones lack empathy for the crows that wish to feed off of them. I'm not ready to go yet. Decaying can wait. The bottom isn't the lowest I've been. I assure you that hell isn't the end either. The negative space …
