Hollowed Out and Hung
This heartache
Has left me so hollow
I only yearn
For another's embrace
For years I’ve tried
And infected others with my loneliness
Melancholy shining
Through my eyes
All the pain around me
This is what I died for
Oh god not again...
The sickness that you wrote
Engraved into
Every inch of my skin
Will finally be
The death of me
First Poem
Astral Projections
Clouding the taste of reality
Omnipotence
A gift to the man who knows his worth
Sight fogged by visions grandeur
Lives grown catatonic
Death casts a lecherous stare upon those
Whose eyes are drawn towards the sky
Eulogies given to those undeserving
Their words food for the cynic
A sirens call coercing them into twilight
An elevated state of mind
Sinking into the everblack
Devoid of empathy the goliaths fall
The dead congratulating their descent
Sisyphus
Over and over again
To the music we dance
Oh apathy
Dressed in pale silk
Bless this world with your misery!
I know the shadow you cast
All too well
So let others see
The suffering one experiences
When eternity is but a moment
And a fleeting heartbeat casts your hopes to the sea
I beg for sight
Won't you open my eyes
For just a moment
A moment of clarity...
A moment in which I can see
Through the gray In which I am drowning
Where are you?
For every star
In the sky
There's a reason I wish you were here
And with each cloud that closes in
I lament my sorrow evermore
O’ I no longer seek salvation in your memory
I merely wish to join you
So for now I will look back
At this life i have lived
And decide whether
To continue in the name of decency
Or set myself free
Choked
I strode across
That field of green
To find you gone
Choked strangled and killed by doubt
A doubt of your true intentions
But I won’t deny
I watched you die
All for the love
Of personal gain
And the worst part
Is I don’t regret
Letting you choke
On a plastic rope
Hung from the branches
Of a tree that you nurtured your whole life
