I feel it coming

More and more
Into the shore, lapping like water
Soon, it will be only memories
So will you

I hate this feeling
Tired and confused

All I could imagine doing
Looks better with you
Lest I forget
Adam Mott Oct 2015
Made up of memories
Asleep in the eyes of Destiny
Unable to breathe properly
Still looking for the meaning
Open and close, all the same
Love, a drug to be imposed
Even when I was happy
Under it all
Maybe I was hurting
We exist through this

Did my Love weigh you down?
Anchor you to a place of hurt or confusion?
Could you identify when it happened?
At least tell me what Season?
What went first? Was it the heart or the soul?
Body or mind?
Whatever happened to "I love you more"?
What about these memories weighed you down?
Did the water swallow you whole?
Did the play become all you know?
Was this some grand act, a temporary segue from the truth?
Could you honestly tell me it meant as much to you?
I still dream about us sitting in the park, a blanket beneath us
Dreaming about our bodies entwined, warm and right
The good and the bad
What out of all this weighed you down?
Inspired by the song by Early Winters

I hope you have the biggest smile
A hearty laugh that is so familiar to me
I want to know you live the life you crave
This is for you
The girl that loved me
I feel the pain of your absence
I hope you feel the same for me
The boy that loves you
I think too often
Drink too much
Act out in my head
But I hope you never fret
I walk through the dark, thinking about the light
I feel so much of so little
And I miss the feeling of you with me in bed
The kids we used to be
This Love is me, this love is the kid I will always be
The adventures we would hope to see
I mourn them with tears and a smile
I have no idea what is next
I hope we can one day meet again
Until then,
I Love you with all I can
This Love is me, this love is the kid I will always be

On top of the city
Looking to the past
We all appear so small
Like an ink black heart,
You see nothing at all

I wonder what your city looks like now
I cannot hide it
I want you to know
Oh God, did you forget?

I mean none of this as an insult
I speak out of pain and loss
Hope and Love
Not bitterness or hate
I miss that pretty face
Those eyes full of bliss
The kids we used to be

Inside myself I feel the pain
Every time it rains
I make this bed
And breathe real deep
I know I can make this happen
The future is coming out
Yeah, the future is out
And nothing can stop me from happening
Why the world lets things go, I'll never know

Walking to your house
Unlocking the door
You smile like before
It quiets my fears
Warms my soul
And I know I do not need to ask
"Do you love me? Do you love me now?"
And like that song said,
"I hope you had a great summer, a great summer away"

You smoked a few cigarettes
I sat outside and regretted it
I looked your way, a thousand kilometers gone in a day
You starred in a play

Clothes still in my house
Picture still by my bed
I hope it was all you wanted
Those last few weeks

I could take my Prozac and go back to bed
Or drive these thoughts from my head
Lay beneath the Fall Sun
Bathe in memory
Or dust off and learn to breath
Again
I still breath

Have you ever cried because you felt so alone?
Have you ever been left outside in the cold?
Have you ever lived in a home that did not feel like your own?
Have you ever wiped the shadows from your heart, only to find bone?
Have you ever seen these eyes?
Have you ever been hurt by lies?
Have you ever left this life?
Have you ever had to say goodbye?
Have you ever had your heart ripped out and put on display?
Have you ever wished you could remember how to pray?
Have you ever wished you could just die?
Have you ever closed your eyes with the intent to never open them again?
Yes. I have
