if there are bad times to come,
there might be worse on the rise.

to ensure that if the

there will still be a lit candlebra.

cosmic
Tyler Nov 2021
The more you understand love, others, and its power connecting with others,
the more they see the
part of themselves they still hate.
And they will hate you for it.
Cracking unseen decadance in a deep cave blessed by a pond, inside
(or rather itself), a mirror of
fire anger and pity;
pain abuse and loneliness;
loss death and destruction.
dipping into decades of refractions of
faces, and what lied beyond their eyes,
even more sullen than thine.
I've always known how I feel.
Love always reigned in my life.
The Touched, a community,
at this time plagued;
curse themselves to sleep.
A line of misfortune.
and with it all I still bask
in all of the cosmic confluence,
reaping its infinite knowledge of light.

this keyboard
is not a pen.      

it is a hammer
vibrating,
electrocuting
me slowly to death.

II. clock ticks

when did i become so alone?
when did the trials of my mind
leak and weaken my chest,
like some cancer?    

no cure
for a broken heart.
no task,
will satiate
this true loneliness.

i am young
and yet i will weep
for decades
from the loss of you.

i am young,
yet impatiently listen
for death's note,
the freedom, the yearning goodness, of my soul's true home.

deconstructive creation
Tyler Jan 2022
the neural pathways i etched,
plotting course to a proverbial gun-cabinet,
haunt me in this labyrinth.
some ideation in the fantasy
tastes too keenly of my premature sour superfluous sucker.
too easy, too early, of an out.
i say the same for you.
enjoy the there-after from the time here-before.
i will go eventually, but i won't,
i can't,

I found my fears
and gave into them
I feared losing another
person I cared about
I didn't think I'd know
fear like that again,
I thought I mastered
it before
I didn't know how to
fight it like before
so it took everything
while making me feel
safe
I felt comfort while it
occurred, some part of
me wondered if I'd survive
something like that again
I felt safe and it was secure,
I had my own arms to hold
onto dearly
Maybe that means it was to happen, for sure
but a part of me wishes you still belonged here- to see if we could survive together this fearful storm and gloomy weather

YOU WILL ALWAYS OVERCOME.
I AM A FOOL FOR BELIEVING THAT
MIRRORED REFLECTION.

I AM A FOOL FOR BELIEVING SO HEAVILY IN YOU,
A FOOL I WILL BE.
THAT THE POWER I HAVE OVER GOD'S OWN, THAT THEY GIFTED ME IN MY EXISTENCE.

THROUGH YOUR SUNKEN SHIPS
AND YOUR CUT FEET
AND WATER-LOGGED LUNGS
YOU HAVE BECOME AN EXCELLENT SAILOR,
AND I AM A FOOL FOR BEING SO PROUD YOU SAILED IN THAT CHAOS
THAT WAS THE WORLD IN WHICH YOU BELIEVED WAS SOLELY MY DOING.

FOR IN TRUTH, IN YOUR REALITY,
YOU ARE THE SEA.
YOU ARE THE STARS.
AND IN YOUR JOURNEY,
THE ONLY LOVE YOU EVER NEEDED
WAS WITHIN YOU ALL ALONG.

YOU ARE YOU.
SMILE IN THE WATER'S MIRROR I SO WISH
FOR YOU TO SEE HAPPINESS IN.
I LOOK UP TO YOU IN THE OBIQUITY
OF THE BEAUTIFUL VISAGE
YOU BELIEVED TO BE ME.

FOR THOSE SHARDS OF SHIPS
ARE STILL IN YOUR HEART.
I AM NOT A PERFECT SHIP MAKER,
I AM LEARNING ALONGSIDE WITH YOU.
I WAS IGNORANT AND SOMETIMES SELFISH IN THE CULMINATION OF YOUR HIGHER SELF.
YET HOWEVER IT HAPPENED, YOUR POTENTIAL WAS ALL I CARED FOR YOU TO FIND.
RESPONSIBILITY LESS LEARNED TO MYSELF EVEN LESS TO ANOTHER.
BUT ALAS,

OUR DROWNING BODIES,
THEY WASHED UP ON SHORE,
IN WHICH THEY WILL ALWAYS DO
WHEN LOVE AND HOPE IS
BEATING IN YOUR HEART.
after school, take your *** to church

confidence
Tyler Oct 2021
I have the most unbridled confidence in my love for you I know I reach out only to return with nothing but closed doors, But I'm never dissapointed. I am stalwart. I know as long as I am alive I'd take your hand in hold if you'd have me. I have faith that I am your brother. Have faith that I can be a lighthouse. And that I am a light. I can never give up those that I'd be lost without; without them on this blue beautiful earth.
As I come back to *my* senses. I miss my bestfriend. The hurt i inflicted from the hurt bursting from my seams. Its all too real to me. I wish I could apologize correctly, but my words as well as i construct them is all hopeless, I couldn't find all of them. And I earnestly hope you can forgive me for that. Yet I feel free. Ive let it go, and I want the balloon to come back to me, maybe it just needs time to learn to fly. I love you, and you all for reading that may have. This breakup is slowly breaking me back to myself. I hope you're listening above all else

there's some riddle here.
why did i never realize i loved you ad much as i did.
until the message of a story of the ocean hit so home.
should i confess my feelings as they did?
is it a day late, a dollar short?
i have so many questions.

the first is, how did i hurt you so much to warrant you gone?
i tried every single thing to not allow that to happen, it was my largest nightmare, i would, and will, sacrifice every single thing against you gone, yet it still happened.

i am still left wondering, why?

no retreat
no advance
merely
standing my ground.

tell me what it is there is to say
and with my sense I shall
find the truth to your love.

do you forget me with difficulty?
a room full of people
with the feeling
of one christmas light missing
amongst other starry hearts?
embrace that darkened part
and that light might still
go unshined,
a risk unmeasured.

i am tired of the shenanigans
i don't like any of you,
but my love can be
so easily abused
from the part of my heart
i left to you.

A void I fill with words?

Don't say nothing- no,
don't say no.
Do you know you are the one that I
would write for ? So there
in May, may I ? So I may have every of my page have your name ?
For I feel this consent,
yes- I do. so please, don't say no-
for then I may not,
even when I can;
and maybe even
when we should.

in a model of a family,
i might have been the big brother
who failed his little sister,
so much she swore me off.

maybe it is impossible to make right by you.
the best ive found i can do is give time
and hope to god.

we are cursed people, i've found out,
but we overcome.
the mind so in tune with the thought of another, did we switch places, just to see?

nothing is over until we perish, then, we are free.
i don't pray for that day
i hope to use all this body gives to me
until it finally gives out.
