So here's my soul,
Coupled in verses...
Penitent
I’m apologetic…
You don’t know
How I yearned to tell you
Desolate comforts;
You showed up too late
I didn’t mean to,
But I did it.
I pulled the trigger
But you placed the gun
So gently,
Carelessly, on this flesh
You didn’t care enough
Enough to even aim correctly
But it doesn’t make it right.
You will never understand these words
Understand that these are for you
I place these on my shoulder
Does that night ring a bell?
It’s a siren
Rustled in these waves
That drowns the memory with progression
I am nothing but a night to you
A muffled confusion
A distraction for those lonely hours
Silent stares with undisclosed presumptions
I’m sorry you never cared
For actually thinking you did
Forget who this face belongs to
I’ll overlook the moments
Pushed into an uncomfortable isolation
This is my formal goodbye
Me and this feeling
A final ending to this misfortune…
Wrongfully exalted
Rescue.
Rescue what you believe to be alive
And what yearns to breathe
Through these pores of skin
That cradles us
In this magnificent place.
That shelters us from prolonged fear.
No one will blame us,
No one will blame us…
Our air is growing thin,
But how tasteful it would be
For one last kiss!
Oh, so weak…
You used to be a game,
A mere pawn to fondle
But have become my privilege.
I feel shamed when the words of my mouth
Cannot find a way
When they have no where else to run
But towards your sympathy.
I’ve held so many faces
Known so many hands
None held as tightly…
No eyes as engrossing
Piercing, with an ardent glow
The craving for those eyes…
I could almost hear you breathing
Through the end of this pen,
To the beginning of this moment
Bathe me in your essence
Drench this endeavor
With simple moments
Twisted words that have no ending
Initial eternity...
Peace
I want to kill you
Tear at the edges,
And work my way in.
Isn’t she lovely?
With her broken smile
And battered bones?
I like you better this way
Pulled underneath,
Unable to breathe
Such a wonderful look on you.
A horrid mind I’ve developed
I’ve held you in
Too long…
I can’t leave you
No matter how I try
Forever tangled in your web
Indecisive tranquility
Restless mendacity
You’ve poisoned my ability
I’ve locked devotion away in a box
Do not tamper with it
Your poison is far too real
I’ve become immune
It’s encircled me with its defiance
Taste of deceit
Smell of insolence
Feel of emptiness
Between these fingertips
Smother me with mar
Strangle this indecision
I believe in serenity
I’ll just sit still
That’s how you like it
Medium-rare
I’ll make you bleed.
To prove you’re real…
Sheltered suffocation
Violent embrace
Believes in peace, Bitch.
