Slipping away into the sea like forgotten memories. No longer able to grip the shores of time as it crumbles through my fingers. I let go to be dragged out into an abyss of hopeless thoughts. Swallowing my heart and bleeding this life away. Your final words were peace and they rack my brain as I slip away. The silence you give me is the strife within me. Being tossed around in the waves as I know it’s my final life seeing the hues of pink and orange as I say goodbye to this slipping breath. I give myself over to the ocean as it pulls me out to sea, no longer am I living, no longer does this world desire me.
Month: August 2019
Lies & Alibis
You sweeten the pot with all your lies and alibis. Never where you say you will be. Abandoning a heart that fatally loved you in a place no one else would. Being pushed away for loving from the depths of my soul. Being pushed down because I am finding more worth in you than you ever did in me. The trouble is you want the world to fall at your feet. No one wants to fight for a place in your life when you shoot your mouth off and scream at the existence of truth. Back away or you will find all you hold dear crumbled at the bottom of the sea. Drifting away like a soul on a life raft leading to nowhere. You crushed me into a dust of myself. Nothing left to be found as you scattered me in the wind. Silence is crippling me…not the grasp you have around my throat. That is peace. That is a place I want to be…in the hands of death as the lights go out on me.
Twenty-Two
Trapped by my own accord I slipped into a space of my own doing. I am the cathartic soul that has been strapped down to the grave of your existence. I can no longer understand your words, everything is in a blur of a fog that is just a memory. Vague and hard to comprehend, I wake to wash the dreams from my eyes to only see the other side is empty and cold. Nothing left next to me to hold. Dazed in a state of alone, I begin to rummage my thoughts and find the one place I was happy, truly, madly, deeply, delighted, with you. I wander the halls of my brain, opening doors to places I had forgotten. Places that were stored away for rainy days, each door I open is you. Your smile, your scent, your sweet disposition, but now it’s gray cloudy days without that face. Stumbling to my feet to erase the few minutes I just lived, I graze the being in the mirror, a shadowed self. A gaunt, tattered, barely living soul trying to escape a piece of this life that hasn’t always been good to me. Finding my way to the bathroom, I see the last stage of life sitting on the sink. Round and pink, dismal in a bottle, a future in a final drink. Downing the only love I have felt in days, a high of pure survival. One more than the day before. A hope that this will be the last day I have to go through this. Two, four, eight, twelve, fifteen, twenty-two.
Cold floor…slump…slow down…foggy…fading…exhale…sleep…good-bye.
Into the Night we go
Iron spikes rain down like the stars upon this dying heart. Piercing a troubled mind because of your delusional way of life. Scattered among the demised I begin to realize the warmth of my own soul. Shattered to feel nothing and blown into the air to feel the last of my freedom leave with each piece of me scattered in the wind. My fate is now in the palm of the ethers. The smallest of words are whispered breathlessly into my ear as I find the final grip on my tightening. Slowly bringing me to a dark destiny. The suffering that has been placed upon me was the beginning of a final existence that spoke to me while I was finding what was left for me. Staring back at the dark eyes that consume each piece of me, I lessen my grasp and succumb to the end. Now cold and blue, hemorrhaging my final good-byes. Seeing the light, I close my eyes. Nothing left to say, nothing more to do but let this dying world consume you.
Succumb to the Quiet
Quiet in your own convictions. Cradling a faith that was meant to succumb to your past. There is nothing to speak of when it comes to the depths of you. There is nothing but a shallow facade that is trying to be more than you can handle. You are becoming a truth that only rings of lies. Slowly seeking a face that will allow all the shit you spew from your mouth to eat up every bit of it. No one sees you but for who you are, a demon in clothing that only a pauper would wear. Wanting to be free, you will forever be chained to the life you lead. Unable to break away, you will see the pain that divides you into the moment you feebly pursue yourself. You are a daunting task that even you can’t conquer. Drink your death and say your final good-byes, all you knew is about to die.
Digging a grave within your own flesh. You can’t seem to rid yourself of the guilt you press. Dying to fight free of the trivial pieces of hell that continually bring you to a place of true abandon. Why are you fighting the existence you created yourself. You were hoping to share this nightmare with me but I saw right through the disguise. I can no longer be hypnotized by the demons that reside in your eyes. The swirl of your thoughts has you tunneling through your memories to see if you can figure out why you are the only one left in this land mind of cheap hate. Designing your final exploit into a world of dreams, you begin to see, all the trouble you went through was because you wanted to be free.
I found you snuggled into my heart grooves, trying to slumber through the hurt you shed upon me. The strife is all on you. I won’t let you survive without you knowing the suffering you placed on me. Night after night I run through a land of endless hell. Seeing the war-torn pieces of a life that was never given a chance to bloom. Don’t come looking to me for answers when everything you need is right inside of you. The bleach that runs through your veins is exactly what you need, a cleansing of the heart and a casualty of the mind. Sit in your own agony and begin to page through the book of your memories. Once you remember the beginning it will all be clear. Each piece of your life was nothing more than a shambled recollections everything you once held dear.
Casting your final fears into a place of rest, a grave of counterfeit fantasies, and a way of life to no longer be had. Ironfisted and hurt to your core, find your final place of rest, a casket of rotting dreams and demon flesh.
Catastrophe
The walls built up around me are starting to crumble. With the few words I convey to you, they need to be more than strife. My heart bears a hole that is hemorrhaging from the holocaust you left. The hell that pours from my eyes is just mere mirrors of what is yet to come. I haven’t been able to find the slumber I was promised so long ago when you showed up bearing gifts of a tranquil life. I begin to see the age in my face as a tribute to the hurt I have been dealt before I began a path with you. There is an illusion to this day and night. It is one of solid effort. Nothing left to swallow but a heart of tragic accord. Why would I follow you into your caged truth knowing each step forward will be my last. Night after night the shadows on my wall are dancing into the role of turbulent anguish. I gave you my solemn vow and you returned it by spitting in my face. Why did I see something bold in you when all you really presented was a life of pure hostility. You wanted to bring forth a soul with good intentions and all you showed was a dwelling heart on a string set adrift to find shelter in the first being you could grasp. Screaming with a death made in fury, I begin to gather my fate. In a basket of whithered reality, I bandage my heart so no one can see the catastrophe you forged within me.
You are the violent affair that I should never have RSVP’d to. I am returning to the sender with a note that will read, “You are the reason love has left this life of mine. You are the reason that I sit here and pine for an existence that you never held dear. Yesterday’s fate sits in tomorrow’s formation, and my final piece was made clear. You are the demon sent to destroy the tragedy I created with the first breath I drew as you walked near. Good-bye, you soulless victim of shame. I am no longer your slave to a beating heart but now a being living in your tragic fate.”
Goodbye, Goodnight, and forevermore, you are cast away to the depths of a heart that will never accept a word from you again. Slumber into your abyss…black as night and cold as ice…I cast you into a page in my book that will never be read again. Ashes to ashes, dusk to dusk, your death will be my final rage as I set the heart of yours ablaze. Placed into a cage, the cinders of your heart will sit, no longer to be loved, no longer to be spent. The tears that you cry will only be your own, as I sit and watch you die in a pain only felt by the one who tried to tarnish this heart of mine. Sleep you beast, cry yourself into a slumber that will never ease this torture I will put in place.
Deadly Disaster
Falter
Doused in gasoline I will torch my heart as you walk away. There’s a fine line between the hell you brought me and the hell I gave. There’s nothing more that I crave other the beauty of being your slave. On my knees night and day to show you the love I gave. Worthless in the night and bountiful in the day you are the one that walked away. I could do nothing right and I did everything wrong as I was left in the tortured life I lived. Severed pieces of my heart lay on the ground before me, still beating, still allowing the blood to flow. Just enough to keep this life in me. Weak in thought and sorrow in my veins as the love you pretended to give vanished with my silent death. Nothing left but a tragic soul scrapping the halls of a shallow bed of nails that holds me together one last time.
Collapsed now in a place of misery. The gravity of the situation is now crushing as the truth is known and bared to me like a death in my eyes. I was nothing more than a toy of vengeance for you to play with. A face of torture as you remembered why you came to me. Pale in memories and lost in truth, I down the elixir of casualties that I created from the last night we spent together. Forcing myself to swallow the potion, the final hell that keeps me bound to the floor in pain. If you could only see it my way. A heathen in disguise, an assassin of lives. I melt back into time, a time when a soul of less would have given more. I can’t seem to understand why the last piece of anguish is not the last piece of this life.
I found the danger in trying to be something you never wanted in your life. I found the hurt in trying to please a soul that only wanted to damage the very being who was willing to change their life for them. I can’t fathom the truth of you being nothing more than a rotting corpse in a world of sheep. The direction I fell was down a hole of despair and you continually decay my brain with words of deception and hate. You are grand in your disguise, you are the devil cloaked in lies, you are the very being I tried to stay away from but you pulled me in with the gravity of your eyes. Dark and soulless you stole the very breath I began to take. I was supposed to have the upper hand but in the end, you carved out a groove in my heart that pulled this lifeline and tangled it without remorse for the diminished spell of suffering you cast upon me.
Quiet, don’t speak. Allow this death to take hold of me. Screaming does no good, talking is a sham, the life you whispered was just a scam. The halo that crowns your head is now the noose that suppresses me. Gripping my final moments in this life and seeking the grave of silence. Don’t you come near me, don’t try to fix your wrongs, you are the last person in this life that I want to show me your total truth. You are nothing more than spewed untruths. The air I breathe is now shallow and full of despise. The more I think about the time we shared, it wasn’t you I loved it was me that I hated. Disasters and storms creep along the shores of the places I laid my head. I am now finding the freedom that I am about to seek, putting a flame to the fuel, putting a flame to the pieces that need to go, putting a flame everything that was me. No longer am I, no longer do love pulse these veins, no longer does it matter what I see. The demon in your eyes was just a reflection of me.
