I highly doubt anyone still reads this since i neglected it for so long but I thought I would share some stuff I've been working on. First I'll share an exercise inspired by Gordon Lish's Fear: Four examples and also What Sarah Said by Death Cab for Cutie....so here it goes ( Read more... )

The way I see it over the years we’ve created something so great, too great to live on
Nothing in this fantasy world lives a day past greatness
No real happy ending
No lovers rejoice
My love for you grew so strong
Too strong that I couldn’t break it,
So strong that it cannot be stopped
A connection of your love and the passion we share for each ( Read more... )

Years of patience granted as you steal the oxygen from out my surrounding life, until I can no longer breathe
We’ve lost it
I’ve suffocated through lack of reimbursement
Fragile like the glass heart I hold in my hand
We’ve broken it
Scars left behind and memories forgotten
But never enough to say goodbye forever
Trying to breathe again afraid of ( Read more... )

And if for some reason I could make this happen, we'd all be able to sleep at night.
These tears I shed, wont seem to dry
But instead a stream heavy with despair flows from out me.
These tears won’t hit the ground flooding the past footsteps of my own sorrow
Because I cannot reach tomorrow
I cannot reach tomorrow
I'm falling over
Over ( Read more... )

Well, I don’t want to say “there's not much to say”, because there is, there is so much to say just so hard to stare it in the face and put it into words. It cannot be explained and it cannot be looked passed ( Read more... )

Nothing but scars left behind to serve as memories of you upon this unforgiving chest, where the sun will not rise and this pain will not rest

Seize this day from out my existence, turn these skies gray, and let me see the world from your distance.

End the infinite pain let me see let me believe, end this infinite pain that these tears can no ( Read more... )

Shape me into the man I should be

For I can no longer see

The future so dark and so cold

I am getting no where so sad and old

Let me forget my past take it all away

Let me hear your voice, let me hear you say

I’ll bring you back to the way things use to be
I want my life back can’t you see

Never had a worry in the world

You welcomed me into your little dark world

I made your world brighter

You showed me love and more happiness then ever

I cured you and you flew out of my arms

And here I sit in hell

Your dark little world

Finding out the hard way what life really is

This never occurred to me so young and oblivious

Now I sit in this ( Read more... )

I’m the feeling behind your nose

I’m the tension beneath your eyes

I’m the stray tear that breaks free

I’m the boy drowning in your tears

I’m the ground that catches them when they fall

I’m filling up with your sorrow

I’m sinking to the bottom of this tear-filled ocean

I’m holding on to nothing

Please tell me I won’t live this way forever

And a ( Read more... )

It’s 4 am now and I can’t help but dread the day that has begun

I don’t want to sleep knowing what the morning has already brought

I look to the sky and see nothing but darkness

From which all pain and suffering pollutes our gracious skies

If I could have one wish it would be to take your place

Steal your pain, and wash away your family’s ( Read more... )
