I need a stronger pulse To recognize I'm bleeding Wouldn't my heart convulse If it has strength remaining? Slowly, I'm bleeding out Bleeding the time I have left to see myself My skin is growing cold The ground beneath me is feeling warmer If I could move my arms I'm sure they'd be around you You're probably alarmed From the things that I might do Hear my breath grow weaker... No, it's never enough No more dishonest pity I know I'm not that tough But I prefer the gritty Please explain how to love In a way fitting for you A soul pure as a dove Of course, that's never been tr...Read more
Our memories The world sees Once in the past Arrived at last And now we're here Our path unclear To make amends Another end Through tear-filled seas A gentle breeze What we've amassed Had fallen fast I choked on fear But you were near My precious friend Came back again #poem #poetry
Echoed are the desperate calls In cruelly dark desolate halls Wishing only for any pulse Yet deeper and so my heart dulls Darker than a grave still mourned With your joy life had been adorned Grief has my memories deformed For your absence they have conformed If I had Just one word One word to say That you would still hear 'Return' is what I'd plead I'd be begging on my knees Even goodbyes would be a treat Unanswered cries are all I bleat, now Just another one I'm just another one Just another person under the sun Of no consequence Is this where it ends? #poem #poetry
The stories that your loved ones know Their laughter and their tears would flow Ashes of your childhood home And those of your loved ones now roam You trapped yourself in misery Ending a cheerful history Replaying an unpleasant scene Wishing that you had never seen You know time only moves one way That's what that lot would always say It's time to stop facing the past It's time to smile again at last Still cherishing their memory Like drinking from a saltless sea You're minding where their hearts would be And trodding ever carefully Love and time undo the pact Leaving your heart s...Read more
Shellbeast-shaped hole in the side of the wall Does it bring you hope, or does your world fall? Granted you're not keen on destroying things You couldn't bear the images I see Found a square key to fit a hole waiting Circle-shaped in your cranial plating Why can't I give you these lookstubs of mine? Seeing things solely in my pan, entwined Things in my world are hardly found in yours It's agony to hide what I adore Reaching the final ticking of a clock I understand you're not the one to mock ======== @writenRevolution I hope that this will still suffice for you #original ...Read more
Now playing to the tune of your heartbeat Cradling the thoughts your troubled mind may excrete Wait for them to ripen for something sweet Then returned to you as a refined treat As each note rings so too will they marry Once discordant, now to the contrary Though how your heart sways may still yet vary Be comforted it's not stationary #poem #poetry
Finding a future where things aren't the same Saplings grow buildings and die in the rain Water expands and destroys what it loves Freezing it makes it regret what it's done Flames will breathe life where all hope fell apart Ashes remain as the end and the start Humans who'd try to find peace before war Somehow end up striking life at its core #poem #poetry
Nestle my sweetness in a cherry pit Guess we will see now if it's one you'll spit A moment passes spent in careless thought Pit in your throat and so spit you may not But still, to kill you brings me glee I'll put my sadness in this pit Swallow it whole and then admit All my sadness goes easily On a whim I've become carefree There's no mourning efforts repaid #poem #poetry
