winter
                            reminds me of the
death
                      inside me
  •°”˜.•°”˜
You’ve hardened me
And every silver bullet
you’ve lodged into my heart,
I’ve plucked out,
Enduring the pain
And built myself an armor
Out of your betrayal.

And You are not a Phoenix.
Your tears
Will not heal
the open wounds
you have caused
With your trifling talons.
You cannot fix this.

With every step she took there was a little hesitation,
Since self-doubt and second guessing were at the base of her foundation.
Her eyes didn't wander in fear of who'd she meet,
So her gaze fixed upon the cracks in the concrete.
But would the world ever see her potential on display,
With her voice barely a whisper and her opinions locked away?

When did I stop trusting you?
I didn't even notice it.
When did I stop listening,
start thinking you were full of it?

Convinced I'd heard it all before,
read all the writing on the wall.
I'd smile, and nod, then close the door.
I won't believe you anymore.

Why did I stop trusting you?
I never even wanted to.
The sky, it just turned inside out
when I first lent my ear to doubt.
'Full of it' is an English phrase which means full of **** btw
Sometimes I think I love best
from afar,
observing impossible conquests
from behind crowds
of maniacs on sidewalks.
Sometimes I love through written notes
to people in far away places.
When up close, reality stops
the imaginings.
I dream of far better love
than I live.

Ungreased wheels on my chair,
No one to push,no one to pull,
Rolling, struggling to get out of the room
A room with no light and no direction.

A room with no floors,
Only heavy rains seeping into the ground
Fighting to pull the wheels, another round,
Stuck in the clingy clay swamps

No sounds, but the beating of the heart.
Deafening, piercing the drums with screams.
Thousands upon thousands of voices
Taunting and teasing but no one in sight

Oddity of friends gather round.
Droplets of blood running down the arm
Each gaining it's own name.
Razors become an invite to friendship

A bug in the corner, a man that doesnt exist.
Friends long sense gone
And notes left to yourself.
Become a ray of hope,  but nothing more.

Mornings light mocks the soul
A reminder that no one is here.
Courage and cowardice go hand in hand
As the blade sends the rsvp

**** the tears that burnt a hole in my soul.
**** the years that took away my youth.

To hell with tomorrow, and the days to come
Leaving it all on the sheets tonight.

***** the pain and the agony you dumped on me.
Going to obliterate the nightmares at satan's feet.

Keep your rivers in your dry pockets.
Moisten not the skies with your writings,
For it never mattered more than…..

Dreams of love, reflecting life.
Imaginary lies of a blackened mirror,
Promising fairy tales and forever
For the stricken fools heart.

Anger and disappointment,
Casting the looking glass.
Upon the floor perfect dreams
Scatter to the wind, thousands of shards.

Painful, broken memories
Piercing an angels feet.
Fallacies and wishes draining the life,
A broken dream at a time.

"If only", and "what if" mock the night.
Her happiness, not from love's spell.
As the tears drown the blood.
And the blood reminds the heart.

The enchanted heart dreams of its it mate.
As its mate longs for another's lies.
Walking to and fro upon the bed of glass,
Self made lies adorn the mornings glimmer.

As the remaining love and final prayer leave.
The weakend soul dies one last time.
A final farewell, as time forbids
And the lights fades one final time.
