“Locked.”

I wonder if you resent me.

Our positions reversed.
Tables have turned, our love is the worst.
Numb to the life we live alone.
Addicted to our deprived little home.
Stars and their shades engulf my sky.
The signal that begins a night of you and I.
Dressed in our formal midnight attire.
An outfit of lust, of carnal desire.
Our dance of shadows and skin.
Our song of temptation and sin.
The peaking lights of the morning sun.
A sleepless night ended, tomorrow has come.
Stuck within sheets, our finale delayed.
Breathless bodies, begging to stay.
To eternally rest, where we decided to lay.

“Homecoming.”

Every day, I wake up realizing I’m older than the day before. The version of myself that exists tomorrow knows more than I do. The version of myself that wakes to the sun has already placed the night within the past. Despite finding solace within the past, I embrace the coming day. Blind to the comfort that I receive from the moon, I turn to face the coming dawn. When the day is done and the sun begins to set, once again, I find myself seeking respite within the night, only to begin a new day.

Hand in hand, we danced again.
And each new day, changed the way
I spoke and wrote, a brand new page
Filled with words of old, feelings new
How long have I lived my life based on you?
More and more, I seek the past
Feelings I once had, never did they last.
Fleeting as the night, sear me like the day
Begging you to leave, pleading that you’ll stay
Still I think of you.
Within each empty glass that stains my shelf
Is a life I lived with you, a different version of myself.
Never once did I regret, the moments that I spent beside your bed.
Or the times we laughed, the words we shared and said.
Infinite futures, created by words that I’ve drawn
This life I live, that I’ve decided upon
A life where you and I exist, but “we” are gone.



“It Keeps Raining.”

I don’t really mind the rain.
It calms my nerves and helps me sleep.
Plus, it reminds me of you.

Summer winds and winter showers.
Lovers left alone after hours.
He tries to smile, as she does so clearly.
He holds on tight, to her, he cares so dearly.
But time always ends, and things always change.
A happy young man, left standing in the rain.
She’s gone, she left, she hopes for the best
Or so she keeps saying.
He’s hurt, he’s alone, his heart was put to the test.
But inside, deep down inside
It still keeps on raining.

“Bored.”

He stares at an empty sky
Drowning in thoughts of her tonight.
Drunk off lust and affection
In a constant state of intoxication.

She smiled as she cried.
Realizing she meant more to him.
Joy erupted as she shed her tears.
Not knowing his passing whims.
Shook with glee as she held his hand.
Not knowing where inside his head
Where exactly in his heart, she stands.
Flights of affection, shiver in her fragile heart.
While he stares alone at night.
Wishing she’d tear him apart.
He’s done, he’s tired, he’s bored of playing pretend.
She’s broken, she’s used, she’s alone in the end.
She begs, with tears streaming down her face.
As he walks away, looking for someone else to replace.

“One and Two.”

Fell in love, but never together.
Promises broken by threads of “forever.”
Feelings for affection and attention ensue.
As he spoke in a cold voice.
“I’ll enjoy you for the time being too.”

Please just pretend.
That these feelings inside me
Will never, ever end.
Make me believe,
That you’ll always stay.
Tugging on your sleeve
Please don’t go away.
Falling apart, we’re torn at the seams
My heart became stained
While yours remained clean.
I took the blame
As we ran our separate ways.
Running to leave, it started to rain
Raindrops of salt, that washed away the stains.

“Broken Beauty.”

She cried when she spoke of the men who love her.
Tears born of an empty love.
And a heart that pained inside a hollow casket.

Will you be home tonight?
Drifting off by my side?
Or will you be in another’s bed?
Silently slipping through the night instead?
Your hands felt so warm atop my chest.
Your eyes like gems, barely open, as you rest.
Marble skin, and a smile that held so much pain.
As you begged me to keep you sane.
An empty night, no shining stars, just full moon’s light
Will you be home tonight?
Drifting off before my eyes?
Or will you be alone?
Under an empty moon’s light?
