North Star
I know
I shouldn't ask you to stay.
You lost your light
The principle star of your sky
And none other will ever shine
As bright.
However, if you must depart
You deserve to know
You are a luminary
In my world.
A constellation that has guided me through my darkest nights;
A daystar on my brightest days.
Your light in my world
Bore lesser stars that have filled
My sky.
If you leave there will be light
It just won't be as bright.
What world will this world become without you?
There has never been a world I've known without your existence.
Three decades of a life
Which you have always inhabited.
Now I am to lose you to the queen, Night
She promises you a bed of slumber beside your beloved.
I just beg for a few moments more before this bittersweet twilight
To adorn you in my love, my respect, and gratitude
As you fall from my sky
To your resting place
A bed in the palace of Night.
Sandcastle
I've always been told
Time heals all,
But there are things
That need more than time.
It takes more than time
To build a Wall or
To build a bridge .
It takes little to no time
To burn it down.
A Lifetime is how long it took
To build myself up.
I fought long and hard
To be strong enough,
To protect myself.
It took years of abuse,
before I had the strength
To pick myself up.
I love the ocean,
but I can't swim.
I love to watch the waves.
Thats why I built my Castle
by the sea.
For years,
I let myself be swept away.
I finally realized
that a Sandcastle couldn't stay by the sea.
Untitled 26
I am a hostage under siege
the floodgates have opened up on me but the rain won't last forever
I know that I've seen better days
but I know that The higher powers
have Their ways
But I've always said it's either now or never.
This world may overwhelm Me
But it's never gonna scare me
As long as there is breath in my body I'll be breathing.
We Get Along
We get along the best we can.
A river of tears.
A cage of fears.
We get along the best we can.
My broken heart in pieces
I ripped it out.
I tried not to feel.
Love was always absolute
There was never any doubt.
Yet, still I cry.
Yet, still I pout.
The rage inside swells
For the truth does not bode well.
There are different ways to hurt.
We get along the best we can.
We get along the best we can.
I was frozen,
Was so sure that I'd be calm
That when the day came I would be strong enough.
When that day came, strength wasn't enough.
Explosions inside
Fears bubbling up
I put up a wall to keep them from getting out.
All my bridges burned,
In a disaster of my making,
There seemed to be no way out.
I became as a stone
I felt so alone.
Alone with only the voices.
The confused, angry voices
Of a broken vessel,
Whispering collectively
We get along the best we can.
We get along.
Divergence
Embrace me Hold me
This might be the last time
You hold me
Our roads no longer merge
And our paths are diverging
You've gave me empty
Platitudes of loyalty
But you're reaching out for something else now
You're no longer walking with me
Life is a winding road
Bending and breaking
Shaping and molding
But you're not longer with me
On with on this winding journey
All that we used to know is gone
If we were still even friends
I wouldn't have learned the art of letting of go
Your actions hurt me
Your words sting me
And all I know is the long shadow of
You
Going farther away from me
And I can't keep holding on to
Something that is not here
So embrace me hold me
Say your last goodbye
Cause I'm leaving you lonely
Your path is no longer aligned with mine
Your chasing something so far away from me
So I've learned the art of letting go.
The painful memory of you drifting away from me
Is like a boat out to sea
Floating aimlessly
And I tried holding on
But I kept drowning
Trying pull you in
Trying to keep you inland
And so now
With your path clear in view
Our road forks and
I'll walk away from you
Maybe someday we'll meet again a
But for now we say goodbye.
Embrace me Hold me
This will be the last time
I'm learning the art of saying goodbye
