Let Me Out

 

"Let Me Out"

~ ~ ~

Let me out

Let me out

So tired of the sound

Memories and pain

Keep pulling me down

~

As if the memories had life

And want to survive

These parasites living in me

Eating me alive

~

The pain so relentless

And it will be obeyed

Will not let my heart forget

Just how deeply

It was betrayed

~

Let me out

Let me out

So tired of the sound

Memories and pain

Keep pulling me down

Alone

 

“Alone”

       

Once I walked inside hope,

You know inside everyone’s dream.

Where love is quenched,

And nobody screams.

  

But a bit later I had to wake up,

Realizing the tricks and the lies.

Alone in the showers,

No one to wipe the tears I cried.

  

Alone.

No evidence of the friendship or love I’d shown.

A house of many friends and love left me.

Alone.

  

I learned that every heart can lie,

That all love can become pain.

And no matter your hope,

It can drive you insane.

Just a Pile of Sticks and String

"Just a Pile of Sticks and String" 

~ ~ ~ 

I never lied 

Never did I cheat 

I was there beside you 

Facing any defeat 

~ 

I held on 

You knew that I cared 

You knew that I loved 

I always was there 

~ 

Offered my support 

In every way that I could 

I stood beside my partner 

Because I knew that I should 

~ 

Taking on your burdens 

As if they were mine 

Because I knew together 

We would be fine 

~ 

I never once questioned 

Or demanded explanation 

For any our troubling 

Situations 

~ 

But in the end 

I was just your fool 

The one there when you needed 

All you had to do was pull 

~ 

Well your marionette is lifeless 

Just a pile of sticks and string 

That shivers now and then from the images 

The nightmares bring

Breath

 
 

“Breath”

   

I’d rather slip,

Into what I don’t believe,

Than suckle breath,

Of a life I can’t conceive.

   

Breathe in the moments,

Like they can’t be undone.

Breathe in the moments,

Unlived by anyone.

    

But we are the chosen,

Yes, we are the brave.

And all is always lost,

Regardless how we behave.

The Sheer Force of an Infinite Belief

"The Sheer Force of an Infinite Belief"

While there is truth in the startling discovery, in the awakening realization and unyielding belief that two is better than one.

There is truth that this belief carries with it an immeasurable joy that may best be described as blinding in its beauty.

Yet, within this belief, even in its infinite power, even in its limitless light, it is but a speck in the vast expanse of a stark reality.

In spite of the apparent unending power of an endless truth, or the sheer force of an infinite belief, that two is better than one.

  

There is nothing that compares to the utterly endless uncompromising void that is fact.

     

There never were two.

having said that, I still love this song...

  

  

Boys Like Girls ft Taylor Swift - Two Is Better Than One

withered

 

"withered"

   

A limb withered,

Sometime in winter.

I’m finding it hard to find,

A center.

   

The leaves descend,

Every time they always fall.

It seems that there’s none,

Who could deny their call.

I suppose it’s just nature after all.

All grows as all withers and dies.

In spite how the entire sky,

Will rain, will cry.

  

Delve too deep the shadows reveal,

The silence they keep.

Knowing will forever haunt,

Your dreams and sleep.

Emptilessly

  

“Emptilessly”

    

I know I can’t,

Surrender it all again.

With an unfeeling border,

Where can you begin.

I don’t have all the answers,

Nor do I know all the quests.

But my table shall set empty,

I’m inviting no more guests.

You can call me wrong,

Or hold me invalid.

But I’m not on life support,

Or an invalid.

  

I say go ahead and believe,

What you would believe.

If it leaves you emptilessly hollow.

Don’t search my words of any way,

To re-believe.

Emptilessly, is apparently a new word.  Can’t say for certain I spelled it correctly.
