Armour

Emptiness. Unlike this word, the real feeling is nearly indescribable. Feet not touching the ground Under false pretences, the smile hangs around There’s no point me pretending I can feel a thing Waiting to see what the next day brings Because what if it doesn’t come Then I’ll be the one apologising No guilt felt if I was lying.

The promise of fresh rain Running down the sides of my face But today, not so Instead like a suit of armour, I bare no insides No swords collide Just a question of time Where and why Have my Emotions left me? What you see from the outside Is not what is on the inside.

War On All Fronts

Wars had beaten their path through this land Felled humans souls that turned hope In shining young eyes to a dimming glow.

A God-like hand reached down to lift them Ready for them to hit another low.

By default design they defaulted to hungry howls, Human spirits exorcised out by broken wills, Inherited by the inhumanity incarnate.

Every object of human desire lost its meaning Like a single word wrapped in a blanket of black A Union Jack. Never to reach home alive.

Only a faint knock of war Reaches the front door Of a pale lady, no different from your nan Except in her hand   Lies the letter of a final resting place.

War. War. War. A holler backs me away from the frontline where soldiers stack like a wall. A wall to turn fearless fingers to a hesitating stutter of breaths. A bloody body rolls on past, laughing in my face. Drats. The torch runs out of the light that has seen me through so much of this darkness, bleeding condolences to the old me; cut-throat excuses stop me from going out to see who I need to see: the old me

Before this bloody war took us from young boys To childish men Digging in an attack with no defence This was how it was supposed end. Fires toxic with confusion Burn all hopes away A broken bullet wound was better than staying out there Where another day was another day of waiting

I haven't felt my best recently In fact it has been this was for months I ride the rollercoaster, I want to get off Stay on the ground for a little while Try to find that lost smile Buried after months of erosion The edges of myself tearing away

Where to begin? My tide is always out And I've been waiting for it to come back in The ebb and flow I don't know Stuck in an eddy.
