Camouflaged Grasses
Blood courses painfully in little knots
agony tearing me apart in marching muddy feet
leaving devastation and destruction in its wake
I wonder if recovery will ever be destined for me
soggy footprints heading off into the horizon.
I fight to restore the quietude that I had known
as I sit by the peaceful marsh which bathes me
in streams of empathy and absorbs the sound
of my broken heart hammering in unison
with the whispering breezes of soft harmony.
White herons hide in camouflaged grasses
while I bury shadows from my sorrow
serenity harbors my hopes for new tomorrow
and washes away the shame of the past.
Beyond Devastated
The world seems to be falling
Slowly
Crumbling
Under the pressure
I’ve forced upon it
There’s no way to fix this
No way to say I’m sorry
No way to make it up
You can’t reverse death
All you can do
Is be kind while people are here
You never know
When the words you speak to someone
Will be the last
I’ve learned that the hard way
I spend too much time
Thinking about
What I should have done
I should have apologized
I should have held you tight
I should never have let you go
Why did I tell you to leave?
Why didn’t the car see you?
Why couldn’t it have been me?
To say I’m devastated is an understatement
I have lost the love of my life
And you will never know
How much I loved you
Or how stupid I know I was
The Mariana Trench and the Asteroid Belt
So let's leave the lights off and forget about our sins
(You know we've both done things we're not proud of)
Sink into the blankets like they're ocean waves
Drown in each other's presence and the inky blue
I just want to swim next to you
I'd become your bed of kelp,
Your favorite fish or coral.
But this isn't working,
Because you'd rather be in space.
You accused me of holding you down
So you threw me into the Mariana Trench and never looked back.
I decided I didn't want to be without you,
So I attempted to become your sun.
But you wanted a star from a different galaxy and
Left me in the asteroid belt to forever be shattered.
Through all this pressure, lack of oxygen, and constant battering,
I'm drawn to you.
I guess you got the star you wanted,
Because I still feel the gravity.
Gentle Devastation
Hold my hand,
Pull me closer,
Whisper my name,
Don't let me go.
Not true,
You aren't mine,
Letting me fall,
Just for show.
You can't be blamed,
It may be awkward,
I understand,
I know.
Love chooses who,
We do not,
We wish we could,
But we only follow.
I look to you with love,
You look back,
With vacant eyes,
Cold as snow.
You're my everything,
I'm your nothing,
I won't forget you,
You'll forget me tomorrow.
Slowly you fade from me,
You try to leave,
But you're stuck,
At least for now, so...
Please don't push me,
Out the window.
(I know you want to...)
Destination
Its the downfall of the nation
We create our own devastation.
Our thoughts, our hearts our minds
Have begun to quickly unwind.
War speech
Before outreach
Words of kindness from few bleed
As the haters become more with greed
The evil grows
As every man knows but
What will be the legacy
Of mans destiny
Will it be renewed sustination?
Or will it be our own
Devastation?

Trying to Drown
One month.
One month since you went away.
They're talking about death and drowning;
About how they're friends.
I wish I could drown today.
I'm tyring to slosh on
Through the tears you left me in.
I'm just sinking and sinking,
But neighter heaven nor hell's lights are blinking.
It's not my time to break; I can only bend.
Empty forevers
Crash down like a tsunami wave.
I'm trying so hard to find solid ground,
But the sands and tides toss me around;
Not one part of me do they save.
In this one month,
I hope Heaven gave you a really fine crown.
It feels so damn empty without you;
Life gives me nothing to do
But live while trying to drown.
Immortal
I am a train, though I do not stop.
I am a log, though I do not burn.
No passengers, no ashes left behind.
Picture an ocean with billions of waves
all moving in the same direction.
Picture a drop in that ocean that
for reasons unknown
runs the other way.
They say that life is to be cherished, a gift
like sunlight against the clouds.
But if the sun never set,
we would only wish for night.
I am the fish waiting to be drowned.
The beast grown tired of howling
A life is but a passing blink,
gone soon after waking
Mine holds tight to the lashes,
pushing tears from eyes that will
never close.
There is no happily ever
without the after that comes first.
Devastating hope
The light within me falters,
as I look around and see
that the world we had such hope in
comes crumbling at the seems.
A mother rests in tears
at the thought of her young doll
leaving to the place she's never been,
they call her home.
A father, lying all in white,
as his children sit so near.
Praying to a God
that he may make it out of here.
Yet we sit here waiting
for the change to come at night.
But the days,
they run so long all we have left is to hope
that one day we'll all be blinded
to the life we sadly know.
Day 2
Starting my journey alone wanting something to fill the void
I turn to watching other in love
But the love is fake; only to please the other
Not caring for the others life
If one was to die the other wouldn’t care I wanted the love caring or not but the fear grew
The blacker the blood became sprinting through my veins
The disappointment would be seen on its face
Tears would flow between me and them
They would mix together and form a puddle
Which I will drown myself in after this is over
Maybe in another place where my eternity lies it will be better
But I doubt it because where I’m heading is to a castle of black surrounded by a plash of blood
