Youth
The warm spring air that hugs your body as you skip down the stairs, out the door, and around the corner to the ice scream store.
Colorless
Perhaps if we were all colorblind, more lives would be saved, not tragically taken
Emotionless
You'd want to keep me
I'd want to be kept
Oh, what a disaster that would be
If I let myself love you, I would only end up with pain
I'd be left with a fist-sized hole in my heart, with your name written all over it
And later you'd regret the trouble you brought me
Because you'd realize that it hurt yourself more than it hurt me
You never meant to do it
And you said you never would
Yet here we are
A disaster plaguing ourselves
Brought about by letting our hearts feel
The Fight of Silence
"I love you"
The silence you spoke after was louder than the words themselves
Yet so much was said in that time
The time which seems to be eternal
The time that holds regrets, pain, and confusion
The time that makes me think I mean nothing to you
I walked away, letting the silence win
Moonlight
There's nothing better than the feeling of your warm embrace after a long day, sitting underneath the beaming summer moon.
Deadly
I did not know what death looked like until I stared into his empty eyes.
Forgetful
Please don't remember this
Is what I told myself
I wished for times of bliss
Of days spent in the sun
But I came upon darkness
Invisible to everyone
Please don't remember this
The lonely nights in tears
Wanting only an end
To all my living fears
Please don't remember this
These memories are far from fond
Maybe if I move on
All the memories will be gone
The Pain of Life
I am tired.
Of talking
And trying
Worrying
Lying
Praying
Crying
Forgiving
Forgetting
Remembering
Overthinking
Wanting
Needing
Feeling
Breathing
I am tired of the pain
Of living
And losing
Colorblind
Black
Means darkness
Evil
Funerals and deathbeds
Black
Is the color of the night
Where demons lure in eternal shadows
In darkened alleys
Nothing good can come from black
But White
White
Means purity
Goodness
Peace and harmony
White
Is Heaven
Cherubic faces of innocence and joy
Where happiness frolics in fields of daisies
We were brainwashed from a young age
Racism was present since grade school
When you see
black
You think
bad
When you see
white
You think
good
Yet these colors have so much more meaning
Than simply
Black and White
