What Is Sorrow?
It's waiting outside in the rain
for someone who won't show.
It's being unable to finally let go.
What is sorrow?
It's a life that remains untouched
by the beauty of love.
It's the lack of strength to rise above.
What is sorrow?
It's a cry that goes unanswered,
a cry that no one hears.
It's losing the ones that you hold dear.
What is sorrow?
It's looking at your life
and watching it come apart.
It's a broken, weeping heart.
sadness over disappointment
your not here
but when your here
your not there
When we talk
its like symantics
Words come out
but they fly away
No memories
No moments to share
I thought you
were the one
but time has spoken
its clear now
maybe I should say
bye to you for now
be stong and be clear
for time has spoken
it is no more...
The Witness
but the more I try
to patch the wound
the worse it gets,
and the harder it is to forget.
Forget the terror in the eyes
of those whose peers have denied
them justice.
Forget the tremble in the voice
of those who think their only choice
is suicide.
Forget the angst in the heart
of those who seek the part
of themselves that resides within another.
Every suffering soul,
every scarred mind,
every broken heart
adds a tally to the sheet
and the tears I weep
that fall with the rain,
never to be seen again.
Torch In the Blizzard
How can it?
Her heart has locked itself away
From the world
A world it views
Through the scars that won't heal
The wounds that still bleed
The tears she still cries...
In a world so cold
A heart worn on the sleeve
Exposes itself to the icy gusts
Left in the wake of those who walk past
Without a glance
In its direction
Perhaps this is why
She hides her heart from me...
Have I been too blind
To see the world for what it is?
Should I follow her example
And hide my heart as well?
How, then, will she hear
The kindred heart cry out to her?
How will she see
My torch in the blizzard?
Ruined
Written on parchment
But the ink is blurred
From the countless tears
I've shed
Every friend
Standing by my side
But their faces are hidden
By the darkness within
My mind
Despair
her heart cry out to me,
not realizing that her eyes
reflect just what they see.
My churning mind is cast aside
by my lonely heart,
keeping me from love, of which
I long to be a part.
untitled (hoplessness holds me closely)
Hopelessness holds me closely
Trapped forever in its grasp
Loneliness flows steadily through me
I've lost all faith and trust in love
Treading slowly through the days
Stress and heartache weigh me down
My bones are sticking through me
My smile, murdered, by my frown
.
untitled (in this moment)
clinging from my lashes, only to fall
upon blue ink, the words become blurry,
did this once say how much you loved me.
where are you now, and where was i
i feel so sorry that i want to die
i wish i could just hold you again
mend the promise i broke back then
in this moment, my salty tears are warm
but soon i know, they will change to cold
The Island
in hopes that I find another person
to share this lonely existence with,
but all I end up with is the same endless solitude.
Sometimes I have visions in my sleep
of the one who will find me
and free me from my isolation,
and it's these visions that help me carry on.
Though I dream of the day I find the one,
this dream is but a castle in the sand
being slowly worn away by the rising tides,
yet I continue to build upon its feeble foundation.
Hopes and Dreams
in his dreams at night.
He wakes and wonders,
"Why can't that be my life?"
He wants to show someone
an accomplishment
to justify life,
but can't find an instance.
He thought he had a dream,
but now he's not sure.
Losing sight of hope,
his life becomes a blur.
