Inner War

There is a war

in every soul.

Plagued with corpses,

all their own.

Dreams and memories

buried with no headstones.

Working like a drone

starving the soul

Forgetting their goals

Strife, and asking for more

are the only spoils of an inner war

Black Light

There are so many lives

searching for light

Gentle in nature

and free of spite

But I’m a black light:

I toil because I know my heart is spoiled.

I’ll live till old age, just to spite my Death every day.

I’ve learned to forgive, because I’m full of rage.

There are so many lives

searching for light

Eager to grow

ready for more

But I’m a black light.

To Endure

I fight, with my mind

giving rise, to new lies

Weeping over imagined cries

but no one ever dies

Past lives coming back to life

slipping as they pull my sides

Still stuck paying time,

waiting for my time to die

Sleep my only ecstasy

but it always runs from me

I fight with my mind,

because I want to stay alive.

Nightmares

Nightmares,

It’s hard to sleep

Nightmares,

why can’t I breath

Nightmares,

please set me free

Oh, I miss my dreams

How they feel so far from me.

This pitch black sea

leaking out of me

finding peace by

drowning me in

Nightmares,

I sink so deep

Nightmares,

It’s hard to see

Nightmares,

It’s only me.

Lilac Skies

I can’t die, not tonight

not without a lilac sky

it came to me, in a dream

yet lingered like a memory

The day I die

will be beneath that lilac sky

it’ll whisper of new life

as it marks the end of mine

Grown

You ever feel,

this all happened before?

We never heal,

but always getting more hurt.

How it kept happening,

but now we’ve grown,

and turned our lives into gold.

Hell Ends

You’re the person I always wanted.

Sent to me, I feel like a lock that met its key.

I wish to kiss the air you breath.

It feels to me, you’d do the same for me.

I’ve always had this need and found relief in darker themes.

Some say I cut too deep,

Most don’t know what to make of me.

And it’s relieving,

these thoughts and feelings no longer missing from my being.

You see me,

revealing a hopeful feeling

that never stops repeating.
