what holds on

beyond breath

and heartbreak

something forged

that can’t be given

nor can you take

secrets so heavy

through the crypt

and into the grave

death is in bloom

as they cull,

under the moon

an angel of harvest

to dying hearts

a plenty

you can’t take back

what wasn’t yours

in the beginning

many masters craft

but don’t have enough hands

for the building

many minds think

but don’t have the thought

for believing

and many people die

to find out their beginning

starts right at their ending

what am I,

besides lines of vines

entwining

fate, freedom and feeling

what is a destiny

that isn’t fulfilling

what happens when words

stop being so compelling

and the heart stops

being so forgiving

preserved roses

they say

show me where the treasure is,

am I dreaming or dead

they say

show me where you hide it,

is it heart or head

they say,

show me how you picture it,

no lies, no less

and I say

that I can’t give it to them

not now, not yet

#take it #break it #fake it

everything is white

Been sailing through

pipelines and dreams

from the pillows in the bed

to the kitchen sink

you’re the shepherd and

I’ll be your sheep

you’re the ship and

we’re all gonna sink

you’re a nightmare and

we all gotta dream

please,

i don’t wanna fade

#draft #private

i can’t tell their voices apart anymore

my heart and my spirit saying the same things

from the same hurt place

i’ve seen enough movies

buried enough bodies

this is wrong

this is wrong

this is wrong

go away

memories that refuse to fade

there is no forgiveness

only farewell

you are a thousand goodbyes

soft, pretty sand

madness as

my heart stops,

and drops

like rocks down a hill

falling to a place

it’s never been and

never return, will

by will, will

this season of

sadness begin

and turn the wheel

and cycle me

from this dry well

to a place where

I begin to heal

season’s

at a stand still,

frozen instead of

change

while I’m broken

but can’t feel

when

will

it end

#caught before the fall #fly on the wall

she dances with roses

and she dances in the rain

petals at every step she takes

as she paces her pain

she dances with clovers

without any luck to gain

the petals at her feet brown,

the sun sets to set again

she dances, princess of the night

one step, then two

blossom, to bloom

and bloom to

wilt

#short lived flowers

all that remains

will fade to gray

the blurry face

the alleving pain

the misspoken name

and my careless mistake of

thinking I could trust again

#silence #retrospect

i awake each morning

to my guilt and

a soft, redeeming hope

and while its demons

who take me to bed,

it's the angels

who fuck real well

death was a waiting room

#told them to hold my chair for later

gone barking at the moon

dreaming of graveyards,

dancing with ghost

and dry bones

these lurking eyes

continue to see me

and I've been leaving

breadcrumbs hoping

to keep them instead

of leaving them behind;

these lurking eyes,

remain fleeting,

but omnipresent

enough to tell a cut

from a tie,

to settle in blood

or to wither and die

or praise the sunset

or set fire to sunrise

these..

'what if we get there,

and it's too late?'
