Something, anything

Give me a pole

Branch to hold onto

Some semblance of existence

Of acknowledgement

Good god give me a rod

So that I may see

May catch a glimpse

Of what's on the other side

Of what is to come

Because I see a road

Muddied and worn

With an end

No hill

No tunnel

Somebody tell me

Grip me by my shoulders

And tell me its all for something

That there is meaning

To this cyclic chaos

That my devotion

That my continuance

Stands for something

Anything

Hold me

Like a mother consoling her child

And whisper sweet nothings

Tell me the acclaim

The fame

Is not worth it

My soul

My life

My tears

Tell me, I will come out of it unmoored

The fool's ambition

Oh what fantasies

Such wishful dreams

Reduced to dust

By cowardice?

Incapability?

Or was it simply laziness

Sloth, if we want to guilt

Are my hands simply inept

Powerless to hold the success I so long for

Unable to feel the warmth of pride

Is my mind useless

To bear the knowledge that comes along with it?

Anybody

Somebody

Make me understand

What is the purpose of dreams

If not to achieve them

What is the purpose, if not to supersede them

I am in an empty valley

Begging for some semblance of truth

Help me see into the future

Reassure me with what's to come

Don't leave me to my own devices

Hog tied with no knife

Or am I simply to blind to see

The solution

The decree

We do what we can

When we can

With what we have

Brace for impact if we must

Silently pull the trigger we will

– Silvie

“Those lips that Love’s own hand did make, Breathed forth the sound that said ‘I hate’, To me that languished for her sake: But when she saw my woeful state, Straight in her heart did mercy come, Chiding that tongue that ever sweet Was used in giving gentle doom; And taught it thus anew to greet; 'I hate’ she altered with an end, That followed it as gentle day, Doth follow night, who like a fiend From heaven to hell is flown away. 'I hate’, from hate away she threw, And saved my life, saying 'not you’.”

— William Shakespeare (sonnet 145)

pictures of you

fell asleep to the voices playing on your old tv.

laying in your childhood bed.

always eating cold food in your hold.

i sat there and watched you destroy yourself.

and i would do it all over again.

because i know i love you.

that's why you left me here.

underneath the leaves.

underneath the tree in your old backyard.

lay me down where they sting.

lay it down on my body.

where it hurts the most.

i think i lost again.

and i know i’ll always want you.

and i'll still wait here for you.

until i see your face again.

Fall of the Fit

Oh how the beauty astounds me

Completely defies barriers

You needn't explanation

Justification

Of how it flies

Boundlessly so

Reaches the skies

The heavens themselves

You needn't care

Any sort of admiration

But oh do you call for it

Ache for it

Starve for it

A dog never fed, best possible explanation

Oh how it comes

Comes and goes

Just as the seasons flow

Ebbing and flowing

Up and down

Oh how it hurt

Terribly so

You see it

Dream it

Do nothing at all

But let it pass you by

Oh how the exhaustion

The utter desperation seeps into the bones

Settling deep

Clawing at the collagen itself

I cannot deny

Id rather die

Oh darling, how it has all come to this

Utter disgrace

– Silvie

“When a question has no correct answer, there is only one honest response. The gray area between yes and no. Silence.”

[silviethewaternymph]

No clue

What an honour it must be

To be able to look around

Exist without knowing

Grasping the impact you have

Assuming you have none

No resonance

No echo in the vast canyon you are

What an honour it must be to know,

That for one second

One aching moment

You had been observed

Perceived by eyes other than your own

What an honour,

A privilege it must be

To not know

Not care

Not pursue

The hurt

The wreckage

The quiet loss

Oh what a privilege it must've been, my dear

For you,

Oh so phenomenal you

To not want

Not think

Not at all

Of all that you are

[silviethewaternymph]

Unspoken

Unseen, unheard

I think it deeply imperative I impress this upon you

My endless adoration

Flowing eternally as Victoria falls does

Ever present

Unseen, unheard

Move, and i shall too

Melodies echoing in the vast expanse

Our bodies, molding to one another

Learning the rhythms of our movement

An eternal dance

Make me sway, my dear

Unseen, unheard

Your eyes shone in the low light

As if meteors sped toward me

Objects on a mission

Objects out of vision

Unseen, unheard

Let us speak the languages of old

Of new

Of the dirt itself

Let us reside in the bushes

Tell the tales of the creatures

Let us exist

Be for the sake of life

Unseen, unheard

Let darkness envelop us

Let it completely shroud us

For we are light, my dear

The very concept itself

Unseen, unheard

Let the world hear us,

The universe itself

Let it hear every groan

Every sigh

Every grunt

Unseen, unheard, unspoken

hitting the pavement

The hitting of the pavement.

The unknown

The trust

I hate they way it happens

How it forms

Slow, deceiving

Earnest, obsession

Roll the tape back

I hate having to hit the pavement

Not having a parachute

A person to break my fall

Meet me halfway

Or fall off the side of the building with me

Dramatic

Always with the dramatics

But poetry is Dramatic

So curse me as you may,

I will still write

I hate the comfort

The fluidity

The reassurance

'I'll never leave'......

The i love yous and the i love this

I loath it

I resent the warmth

Deception dressed as admiration

Or maybe

Just maybe, its my inability

To accept the warmth

To meet it half way,

Trust people when they say

Its forever

You're my ride or die

My will to survive

My everything....

one last time

Come on

One Last Time

Don't be boring

Come with us

Come one

They say with force now

Voice echoing in the deserted room

No one will see

Come on

Don't be like this

You know you like it

The floor trembles beneath me

Hot searing pain floods me

White flashes in my eyes

My heart beat

Its the only thing I can hear

I breath

Only for a moment

Only for one light moment

And it is ripped away from me

Gone

– Silvie

[silviethewaternymph]

tell me you hear it

Shhh

Do you hear it

The cracking of the walls

Caving in

Inch by inch

Click by click

Shut your mouth won't you

Revel in the silence

Except for the creak of the ceiling

Struggling to hold itself up

Under the weight of it all

I said hush

Do you not listen

Not long to hear what the silence has to offer

The suffering it disguises

Shhh

Do you hear it

The voices chanting louder

Dissonance surrounding me

You, us

Kindly stay silent

Let the feeling overwhelm

Let it wash over you

Oh let it cleanse you

Do you hear it

Do you see it

The light

Off in the distance

Footsteps racing

To fight a battle not meant to be won

Shhhh, do you hear it

The sweet torture

Bittersweet memories

Oh shush now

I hear it

Sense it all every touch and jump,

Recorded in the back of my mind

Every bruise every lump

Shhh

Do you hear it

The cracking of the walls....
