The Hopeless

Comprehension,
Despair is the quickest way to go;
Selfishly,
Drawing lines across our veins

In silver pen, we write farewell,
How well we thought we knew,
The hopeless,
Them without center

We are swollen; empty
When the void met the vice grips,
They were destined to sink ships

Selected into these services,
You called upon me;
I don't even know who you are

So tell me who you are -
Without using any words;
I have an idea from where I'm standing,
But how I long to feel your burn up close

And they called us sarcastic, needy and plain,
You to me only exist as a blain

You are one;
You are hopeless.

Love

Undeniable,
These senses sweep across me
My feet so far off the ground in floating into an abyss,
Where the ceiling is painted in water,
I can feel how warm you can be

Indescribable,
These words fall from my mouth as my eyes can hardly believe what they have become
From the days of pain,
Where every blessing was an extra gain,
There is no ceiling in sight

Understated,
You were never less than a thought away,
The city lights, the city nights
We hit the town with our feet scraping by,
And I feel these emotions writhing through me

Search the world for something true
Leave the planet for the things you can't believe,
Because of love,
I have to let everyone else in on our secrets

There is nothing quite as socratic as knowing this could've been a work in progress
And the writing on the walls say our faith won't wane on us

The Shadows of Years

Loving you is my favorite habit,
To your heart I am an addict.

Being near you brings me to life,
From where I was
The only thing I had left to lose
Until I met you

Everyone always thinks "I need to be remembered" but truth be told,
That thought process is way too old
The only thing that you try to do
Is become unforgettable,
And when you die your soul will hear words that are so regrettable.

I've been chasing the wind like a frisbee, my soul has been searching for a place to land
I can only pray I arrive safely in your hand

In between us used to be bed sheets,
But the world has evolved into separations of broken communities

The Darkest of Ages

Don't worry, I'm going nowhere
I said through the tunnels you'll see nothing and your lights are out,
But my hands they hold you so well beyond the sea,
My vision is blurry but still I see

It's love through the blood I spilt upon these open blades,
And in no remorse,
The sun doesn't see me anymore
The sickest of men and I'm falling apart,

Where we once danced
Our eyes so blinded last stole a glance
You are so dear darling,
Your departure abrupt and the rivers flooded the gates

So now I sit in the darkest of ages,
Relapsing as I call upon myself to stand up without a spine

The Lightest of Times

The stars never burned so brightly,
So they say it will be the end (of the world)
Well you can't consume me with your unusual fears,
I won't dread my time left if there is much to go;

Oh it's unusual to perceive the clocks as winding,
As the words are binding,
The words we say last won't be
(3,2,1)
There's no going to be "nothing left"
But if he descends then you know it was always him,
To whom we hymn;
I'm under the impression that this pressure won't get me under you
No one can get me over you;

But these stars never looked so right
I guess our time is now.

Make It Home

You just left
But it seems like its been so long,
So let me know when you get home this time,
And let me know you'll be alright
Because every time I see you break
I'm wondering will you make it home tonight,
Because every time I hear your voice,
I pray "this can't be the last time"
Because I'm in love,
I'm in love

You're not picking up,
But I keep calling,
My heart keeps breaking,
Because I know you're falling
You said,

Let me know when you get home,
Tonight,
And promise me you'll be alright,
Because if it's the last time I hear your voice,
I need you to know
I love you, I love you, I love...

I swear when I get home tonight
I'll fall to the ground and pray you're alright,
Because when I hear your voice I know
Everything is perfectly fine

Little Angels

With silver spoons,
I can get use to this feeling
I want to keep holding you
Because this is a feeling a never want to let go of

So how do we maintain our lungs functions
When we speed up our breathing, slow down our speaking
And refrain from thinking?

The whole world knows me better than they say they do,
With the sounds of wedding bells, I cannot hear you when you pull me down,
This will be the life of me

With silver spoons
We are born again

Three Little Words

Away from here,
These waters wash
Compel the tides,
Exhale the smoke
Those burning trees;
They needed me

I live exhausted
I die alive
I'm not scared

To be yours,
Holding your hand,
Three little words
Escape my lips
I'm not afraid
Need you know?
I love hearing
"I love you"

When Dying Leads Us To New Heights

avoid all interest,
a life void of any care, these people will die
we continue to see the scars they lay upon us
seven inch blades they will take our lives;

how much does it take for us to keep breathing, oh shallow breather?
what does it take of us to keep bleeding?
I can not become the blood of you without these counters
seven inch needles they will give our lives;

ambitions missing the point
hallow hearts, hollow heart,
oh how hollowing

avoid all intent,
a death void of any care, these people will live
we continue to see the scarves they lay upon us
seven inch holes left from our lives taken;

how much does it take for us to breathe again, oh hollow breather?
how much blood does it take for us to start seeing?
I need all of the blood in your counters to keep trying
seven inch hearts won't stop beating

painlessly you made your mark,
shallow heart, with the depths of an ocean
I will keep swimming with my back to the sky
I may reach the end of the world dead, but at least I can say I did try

Never Give Up

Father, I need you to see,
the weakest sides of me,
I need your light to help guide me through this fog,
as I am blinded by the darkness,
I need a way around

Due not to who I am, but who I am not,
these things are in danger by the disgrace we have mourned,

If You take me back to the place where I knew my life
would You allow me to see You once again?

Between them I lay and there You stand,
scrawling down words that I could never bear to hand,

Due to your weakness, the clock is running low,
with the children you gave us, the crops of their lives are others seeds to sew,
I couldn't be found lost in Your words,
I spent too much time trying to be lost in her worlds
and if You see me now,

I would never give up for anyone else's crown
I vow to never let this die,
as it eats away
my life is slipping to grey,

and I'm ever grateful for this life You gave

Send Me the Ocean

Why do you have to be from a land so distant?
Why can't you see me when I break down?
My hands wanted to stop working but you gave me reason,
A hope and a prayer to land on

So why is life a game to us who don't want to play it?
I fly by to see the sun one more time today, so give me the time and space,
Because living is hard when you fear your own face

I need you here now, because the things you say make me feel like this is so close to home
So send me the ocean,
It will be one less place for you to not be,

If we are on the same page,
I'd lay my head upon your chest
Knowing not how it played out
Being blind won't stop me from seeing you,
So I won't let two thousand miles stop me,

My dreams were vivid
You two belong together,
And I grant you the world to try to stop you
Because love doesn't stop when the world does

Send me the ocean,
So we can swim together and get lost in the vast
Take me into the open
So these sober tears can be my last

Legacy in Words

In the last words I say to you
You scream I do
Marry me and we can run away, from bullets and projectiles sent our way and we can fall in love and stay in love and nothing will ever stop us now,

So I guess I'm not enough like you some say,
And I'm holding out, biting my tongue, hoping for this to work one day

If you say so long,
I understand I did this wrong,
We fell in love,
And you can't stop the heart can't stop the heart because it only stops itself

You are the dream I saw last night
And when I woke on up, you were gone in a fright

This is the first time I say these words,
Marry me, I swim with you in the dying sea,
Because blindness was lost and now I know
It should be you and me.

Legacy in Touch

This poem is for those who still want to see me do this. I love you all.

You believe I can somehow keep doing this,
Strength through endurance,
Patience without lust

Falling so fast you twist me down so well
I'd behave but I can stay alive from this grave,
Can you see it was the world to her I gave?

Well the city you see so much of is the place I'd like to stay,
So let me be involved in your train wreck so love can kill me this time,
I will watch over you every day

So why can't I drive this car into the fires that burned you down?
I can't hear your voice now I'm growing deaf,
My ears are burning from your pained words,

Worlds keep clashing away
Just memories hold me like waves,
And I'm hoping you'll stay
