~

under pale moonlight
she leaves roses in her wake
demons dance in midnights hour
as gentle hearts must break
my queen of the underworld
i wait patient by your throne
and to say that i won’t love you
is the sweetest lie i’ve known

threnody

~

that is what keeps me
awake almost every single night
not the moments i felt weakest
not the times i hurt most
but the feeling of losing you
because i was lost in myself

~

~ i hope in this life or the next you can forgive me.

roses on your throne

~

every night in my mind
i walk the bridge of time
a world between our own
to place roses on your throne
i hang my head in shame
accepting of the blame
i remember the regret
just so i never will forget

children of the stars

~

to look out into that
endless ocean of stars
is to look deep into ones self
you are the eyes in which
the stars use to gaze back at their glory
you are an aperture of the universe
looking deep out into the darkness
to witness it’s own magnificence

midnight desperation

~

beneath an autumn sky
my heart calls on yours
in midnight desperation
i ache for your touch
nights of wine and worship
still linger on my tongue
like a phantom you walk my mind
every moment i’m alone

~

- it’s not that i haven’t forgot you, it’s that i can’t remember anything without you.

pursuit

~

pick yourself up
and carry on
no matter the storms
that lie in wait ahead
carry on you must
far in the distance
against all judgement
skies are clearing
seas are calming
and the pursuit of happiness
is always worth fighting for

~

icarus

~

she was all that
i had ever wanted
to be closer to her
just like icarus
blinded by desire
and without knowing
i had flown too close to the sun
the love i once thought
could save me
had burned my wings
and left me drowning at sea
gasping for air
as the waves pull me under
it was worth it all
for that moment in time
i was closest to you
