Only I can seem to hear this bell ringing loud and clear In this silent room filled with stressors meditating quietly Unnoticing this echoing of chimes Drowning out any other sound Leave me alone; I wish they would Continuing to follow me and haunt my every move Watching over me like spies Mocking my every step As if I can do them any good Leave me alone; I wish they would Stealing away with my social life Parading around in my mind like it was their own Not attempting to tell the difference

Beginning a new stage in life Not sure where to focus Knowing too well each cut of the knife Survived the tangle of vines and weeds Like the strongest wilderness plant Letting them suffocate and drop to their knees Baking their leaves in the sunlight It’ll be okay, a few stitches is all The heavy-hearted sheets fitting the harsh beaten breasted A protection cocoon for the fragile and weak Not strong enough to last The cold winter’s blast Hold onto the broken For the impaired are despaired Fee

(I DO NOT OWN IMAGE) Join me in the circle; yes we finally won No more last requests, the series is done Completely exhausted our eyes and hair hurt A cheer for us fading as the new game approaches Way out of the league accustomed to playing in The team splits up in groups One against you; one against them Wearing you down at both ends, Both your arms and legs give in Crumbling you to the floor Standing there in the door is nothing A lonely head fright, some spewer of words Someone as opposi

Been trying to comprehend the lightning I’ve been trying to accept the thunder rolling While the storm has been long gone Not easy to admit you’ve left It’s one of those things we grin when speaking of it The truth lies inside this vice Mirrored proof still in its sheepish disguise Seeking relief of some diversion Not catching up to one No matter how fast I’ve run Palms losing grip; sweating blood Hiding tears of broken glass Shaking off everything you’ve done Hoping it would mask the pain of th

(I DO NOT OWN THIS IMAGE) The clock sweeping away the minutes Like a man scrubbing the floor All the bugs climbing the walls As my fears stab the door - My body growing cold The night seeming to be a bit long Reminding me of how you loved me The memories play their rhythm like song - The wearing of the leather Resembles the tears in the page As the ink stains my fingers My heart begins to feel caged - The wind howls in the window The branches tap o

(I DO NOT OWN THIS IMAGE) Emotions are like an ancient vase Helping protect what’s alive Keeping that unique flower inside Yet it will die if that armour is broken The tender trickle of the waterfalls Enormous splashes when people plummet Nobody sees the cement walls That entraps them on the summit Love is like a raining cloud Drowning plant life in muddy soil Entangled up in their own roots They begin to slowly spoil The frown upon circus clown Makes you laugh at all his struggles And enli

Just wait, you’ll see it That glimpse in her eyes A sadness that never before boarded her mind She’s unaware of what started it Not sure she can deny why it stayed This prima ballerina Ventured from home Way too far away He can hear the vacant laughter They do this every night The sinister evil lurks round the fire With grandfather medicine in one hand A belt in the other Bombarding up the stairs He hears the laughter turn into a holler They haven’t quite reached the age of innocence Yet the

Laying in your arms Dreaming away the night You were thinking This feeling felt so right It was nothing unordinary Nothing seemed too out of place Charming your way through the mask Of my extraordinary taste The most uplifting sensation Awoke me from my slumber Shaking like a leaf I could have started to roll the thunder Suggesting as I did You wouldn’t dare to interject For you knew this was no fib And know all about cause and effect So delicately worded You denied me...

I see the storm rising bringing with it the cold damp air Feeling the winds pick up in strength Smelling the sulfur in the air Watching birds perch on rooftops Coming in from the alke Noticing the leaves turning into saucers Ensuring that they replenish their health with a drink Safely scouring the land for valuables Every insect takes one last scan I glance around at the clearing of people As this gloom rushes over the land Only then do I notice a little less activity in the streets I guess e

Any day now, I won’t wake up To a tear-soaked pillow Because of you, I thought The night you died, how hard I cried Felt like a chainsaw broke loose Ripping me apart inside I saw the day coming After the accident happened You showed you were better Sending you home to bed Take Aspirin and call doctor in morning Then suddenly you were sick Nothing they offered you helped Each treatment you’d seek Made you go strong to weak Like the echo of a chiming bell Terrified and scared Both in a

Happy Valentine's Day to every and all Hope this day is a blessing to you and your loved Not just the day for love, but the day for friendships Today is an anniversary for those who really get satisfaction From each person around them That shares a smile or a hug Those who care deeply for them Those who barely know them at all But with a little kindness in hand A true tenderness intheir heart No one will ever feel alone When this day comes along Tod

We’re not so different, you and I You fell out of love I fell out of line Those clouds hanging above us Show the truth Some deeper than scars left Some let the light glimmer through Dancing upon our heads as they may Life still carries on Though as hopeless as it seems This tangible regret Trapped inside my shell Parking its wagon out front Waiting for the last soldier to come out Guns blaring, fists punching Seldom acknowledging the viewers Tightrope walking, horses drawing What will be the nex
