History

Heavy thoughts caress my brain.
I recall the first meeting.
On a sunny day, waiting on a bench.
No clue of what to expect,
nor the consequences for the future.
There she was, and I wasn't ready.
I was loquaciously nervous,
couldn't seem to shut up.
While she just seemed to listen,
taking it all in.
It was weird to see the time fly.
Hours passed in a heartbeat,
I wished my heart would've just stopped.
The rest of this story is history.
To be forgotten by the ages.

Hidden Core

Shed a different light upon her.
As I see through the surface,
revealing her true colours.
She seems to rise above her shadow,
escaping the boundaries layed upon her.
How does she manage to hide it so well?
Captivated my thoughts as I learn yet more.
The shell seems thick, but its cracks
can't be hidden any longer.
I'm so very aware of her.
It's like I perceive her every move,
looking to see more of her.
I can't quite believe that
I didn't see it before.
That fragile little girl,
that was hidden in  her core.

All Night Lights

I remember your lights glowing
and fading in to darkness.
They give halo's to my dead memories.
Lost between reality and my feelings,
I still know hos safe I felt.
Had no cares, had no worries.
As I floated in your room,
wishing it'd last forever.
The nights were endless,
while your light shone all night long.
You scared away the shadows
from the deepest recesses of my mind.
You took me in, took me over.
I just didn't resist,
and let love take over.

Etched Skin

Lost and with a heavy heart
he makes his way through the fog.
Her name etched on his skin,
more present than ever.
He ponders over his decisions
only to conclude he made the right choice.
To take the path less taken
is a burden few are willing to bear.
The barren wasteland surrounds his every step.
Stripped trees stand tall, but dead inside.
The end of life as he knew,
with the shattered remains lying at his feet.
Lost in feelings, he clings on.
Longing for a better tomorrow.

Longest Day/Hardest Night

The minutes tick away as if they were hours.
Every breath weighs heavier as I try not too let it show.
The moment draws ever nearer and it scares me.
I know it's the right path to take,
but I fear the pain it'll inflict.
I can't be the cause.
Yet my own actions lead us here.
The words I speak sound surreal.
As if even I can't seem to believe
they come from my mind.
It tears down the fabric of everything we were.
And leaves us with memories of how we once used to be.
Guilt pushes me down,
all I ask is to pardon me.
How the fuck am I supposed to feel
when everything I known lies broken at my feet.

In Time

The fire burns fiercely.
As trying to warm my doused heart.
I lived my life one hour at the time.
Though my heart skipped some beats,
it was always in the right place.
I never betrayed, not even in my greatest depths.
But I eventually realized that nothing could last.
Even the fire dies out and leaves me here in the dark.
Still I am not afraid.
After everything I had ever endured,
I knew I always kept learning.
I know I'm never alone,
that I will always get back up on my feet.
Life still carries on.
As do I until my maker and I will meet...

Pavement

Silently I enjoy the distant sounds
trying to pierce the deafening silence.
The summer sun shines like it's
a mere autumn day,
while the moon just sits in the clear sky
shining as if the sun's too weak.
The ground beneath me seems
to follow the rythm of my breathing.
The sighing wind rustles the leaves around me.
Everything feels so peaceful.
The cracks in the pavement ressemble my scars.
The withered lines seem like faded memories.
It looks so trivial
while it feels so heavy.
Moments like this are so very rare.
What ever happened to simplicity
and the blissful tranquility?
