“Life isn’t easy,”
That’s what he always told me.
He told me to
keep going,
no matter how cruel life is.
“Don’t give up.”
I know you said not to give up
yet,
it’s just so hard
for the path is shrouded in
darkness,
making winding turns wherever I go.
But
“I’ll protect you.”
for your sake,
“Don’t worry I’m here.”
I’ll keep going
“Come on, Matthew, it’ll be fun.”
for you’ll always be by my side.
“It’s okay, I’ll always be there for you.”
Right?
NO!
You lied,
you left me here
alone.
Please tell me why,
Keeping it hidden
Is harder than it seems
Gets so bad
That your running in my dreams
Always stolen
With empty vows
Who gave you permission?
I'll give my nastiest of scowls
You're tearing away my future
Holding it at bay
I've been nothing but good to you
Why treat me this way?
But now my treasures
Rest in the dragon's keep
Hands to your self
Or do you wish to see how quickly fire, from my maw will seep?
~~~
The dark, it's sweet
The dark, it's nice
A creeping affinity of the night
It's my blanket
It's my pillow
My warm embrace
I can't stand the light
I can't stand the sight
In pitch blackness, there I'll be
Say I'm safe
Say I'm sound
Were I'm lost, I feel the most found
~~~
Swallow it down
Hold it inside
Keep it at bay
Pain, pain
Go away
Come again
Some other day
Run, run
Try to hold
It deep inside
Do as told
Holding it in
Can't get away
Struggle and fight
Go, go
Go away
Tearing the inside out
Hurt bright as day
Pain, pain
Get away
Killing with
This little game you play
Eating away
Bit by bit
All that's left, that was it
Break, break
Break you down
Prey eats the predator now
Only one can wear a crown
When the sky is lit by the moon and stars
And the rain pours down like the tears of God
I will stand outside and get drenched to the bone
And freeze my heart because I'm alone
But though times are sad and I freeze to death
You'll never see my face happier than this.
I stood on the edge of the cliff, looking over the valley below. The sky was dark, yet the copious stars twinkled and glimmered like candles. Below in the valley the city lights burned, twinkling with a warm yellow glow like the fireflies I used to chase as a child. The lights were even brighter than they seemed, for they were surrounded by arching black cliffs that seemed to soak up all the light around them. A cool wind whispered over the mountains, tickling my delicate cheeks with its gentle arms. A solitary owl hooted and cooed with unpredictable rhythm, conducting the crickets that sang all around me. Their consuming chorus was joined

The Travels of Two Broken Hearts
We will paint each other’s scars
Try to remember who we are
We will wonder why our
Minds have wandered so far from our hearts
We will heal each other’s wounds
Though they’ll come back far too soon
How we wish we were immune
From this emotional monsoon
We will try hard; though it hurts
Run from this mental dirt
Some will join us; then desert
From our pain their eyes avert
We will hold on; though it’s hard
With our innocence so charred
And our soul is just a shard
That is covered with our scars
We’re not perfect; though we try
Our wings our broken, we’ll never fly
How we long for the free sk

thoughts on a friday in april
look, you are summer,
with your half-a-watermelon smile and
eyes like fireworks in the sky.
and you know what,
before i met you, i kind of just wanted
to be autumn, to make dying look beautiful,
to go out with a blaze of glory.
but when you kiss me i can feel
spring bubbling up inside of me.
and okay, maybe there are times
when we fight like winter, taking no
captives, leaving no survivors, but—
okay, there’s no easy way to say this:
I want to spend 365 days with you
again and again and again because
even though that scares me stiff,
you make me feel like I’m blooming.
