Dim the Darkness

Live free, live full, and die well… let your legacy live on

“And now you and I share the same life missing out, and so the story goes… If I had the chance I’d let you know, that I understand, I’ve let you go….”

-“Never There”, Sum 41

[dim-the-darkness]

If something feels wrong, realize why, see what makes it so, and get away….. if something feels right, then chase it with all of your undying will, until the air leaves your lungs, and enjoy it for every second it’s worth 🩵

The Pain

I fought for so long that I made a pact with my heart. A promise that it would love, but be torn apart.

I felt the sting and I needed more, but to say goodbye leaves me dead on the floor.

The end has come and I’m all alone, I’m defeated, depleted, and tumble down this mountain that I’ve been thrown

They try to help, they try so hard to care. They’ll never know the pain I bear.

They’ll read the notes, they’ll stop and stare. To do nothing but say goodbye with smiles, as my insides fill with despair.

Rage, anger, sadness, and pain… leaves my heart trembling, bleeding out, laying in the puddle where it’s been slain.

Everything was once pure, was once so sure… now terminal with no will to search for a cure.

These poems only release so little to what I feel. They give a whisper for help to the rest I hide, I seal.

When something is worth it to me in this world, it will tear me apart until it’s safe in my arms, wrapped up and furled.

But when it lets go and leaves without a trace. The last thing you’ll see is the goodbye’s to a life, with tears down her face.

My body is a wreck, my whole life has been shattered, but I guess this would’ve never been if I actually mattered.

“And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.”

Make each other happy

Music is the best to the heart, it revives it when it stops.

It’s the sunlight that burns through the thickest of fog in your head, the despair, the pain.

I found no mater how hollow and empty you feel, music will always refill your heart, even if it still leaks from loves painful cracks….

I hope you like this, it only gets more meaningful the whole way through. Enjoy

Love is a battlefield, and love is war,

Where hearts beat like drums, and where fires roar.

To see someone better than yourself,

To give something more richer than wealth.

When one fails to their selfishness of pride,

All things once well, gets left aside to die.

To ease a tear is to shed one in return,

Makes heavy to the heart, more fire to the burn.

Imperfection is key to survival of the divine,

So true beauty, unique, can rise, can shine.

There will be sorrow, with two minds to dwell,

But must intwine together to get through this hell.

Before you face this life all alone,

Remember in time everything good will be shown

Go with passion, with care, don’t be scared,

All that becomes broken, can be healed, can be repaired.

Wait for that hero, that savior to come,

So you can both be in pain, for each to numb.

I will not lie, this love is a battlefield, it’s a war,

But for in the end if it’s to have you, then it’s far worth fighting for.

“Each relationship between two persons is absolutely unique. That is why you cannot love two people the same. It simply is not possible. You love each person differently because of who they are and the uniqueness that they draw out of you.”
