Leaving Heaven
I'm not fit for the title of saint
For...I thrive with guilt and shame
I feel related to the fallen
I'd...be better off forgotten
Because it's growing on me
This...abomination of self-centered pity
I beg for the removal of my existence
Father...I don't wish to be a disappointment
-
I can't stand my broken flaws
I'm unlike any other angel of god
A soldier, a warrior- is what I am not
So allow me to let go of my cross
Even though it's all I've really got
But I realize that I will always be a lost cause
Emptiness fills every single thought / Hopelessness is what I have wrought
A clouded path I now walk / Reassura

Wings Of Darkness
I seek your help to become the unseen
Guide all of this pain back into my lies
Please, never let me experience this again
I need you to blind me from the light
Cease the false hope from shining in vain
Push back the blood and tears so I won't cry
My warrior
Sheath me between your hollow feathers
My defender
Keep me in your tight embrace forever

Turn every sad day into calm night
Burn the radiating sun out
Darken the dreaming sky
Let the fading clouds melt
Lock away this cruel gift of sight
I no longer want it
Shut out the world from you and I
I yearn for this
Take away this self-hatred
Bring back my in

It's my world
These are my shoulders

It's my life
These are the tears I cry
It's my truth
These are my last moments with you

When you said those words
My vision got blurry
I know
You're sorry
We couldn't be "us" anymore
It divides me
Double-edged love / I needed you so much
You're all I really got / Without you- I'm lost
When you walked away
I met the ground
I felt a ripping pain
A deafening sound
I won't get up again
This is my place now

This is me on my knees
Let me be weak
This is me breaking down
Let me cry out
This is me at my worst

Shadow World
It's enveloping my heart
And tainting my soul
I've been corrupted by the dark
A new power to behold
I'm too far gone already
Just give in
Accepting my tragedy
A new path will begin
Transform into what I dreamed of
No longer afraid
The road to peace will be victorious
A triumph so great
I closed my eyes for the last time / I watched it all disappear
I left behind my old life / I've become what I've feared
-
I know this path is one that very few desire
But what's done is done
Never again will I look into a mirror
For my darkness and I have become one
It's what I've always want

The Peace Seeker
Whispers that no one hears
The world is deaf from despair
The sun becomes my throne
As I watch reality become undone
-
Someone can be another person's hero
If only love existed
Dusk will break with a darker tomorrow
Another day of being two-faced
Every second- a promise is broken
Every minute- a tear is taken
Every hour- a smile is forced
Every day- a child is born
I stitch my mouth shut / I finally had enough
Silence is my sin / Truth is my friend
Seal my eyes wide / Lies can finally hide
I will witness no evil / I will force another smile
Anyone can be someone's demon
Because greed insists it
Peace is no

Time Is The Cure
Right hand of destruction
Left hand of creation
It's a never ending cycle
A fatal revival caught in a downward spiral
I tear down reality’s mask
As I build up a truth to give hope a chance
The veiled darkness decays
The guiding light fades
I let go of an old pain
As new tears wash it away

The sun always rises
The moon always sets
The rain subsides
The storm is put to rest
Clouds confide / Memories detest
Skies collide / Cries confessed
Light shines / Dark regrets
Pain hides / Peace professed
A new day awaits
An old night forgotten
Tomorrow I shall awake
To cradle what remains unbroken

Take care of me, but let me be free
Fresh water, food in my bowl,

That is all I want from you
Satisfied I'll forever be true
But neglect me, and I'll be on my way
To find myself a better place to stay

Don't want to come together

So I...will never cry

I was once told
That I have to be strong
But a child can never grow old
When reminded that every action is wrong
I didn't need to know
That strength was everything
I would have given up a long time ago
Because that is my hollowed instinct
Take back every single breath / Take back those moments I lived
I am not some stepping stone / I am not meant to have a torn soul
You can only push so much / I can choose to give up
You're the only one w

And take me back to my home,
I'm tired of this seclusion
Slamming lies into all I've known.
I'm counting eternal hours
Numbers in nocturnal sleep.
The glass in which we shower
Can't hold back what you keep.
I want you to help me dream
And show me how to act.
From a river, into a stream;
What is it that I lack?
The gleam of your necklace
Reflects all of my want.
Is it because I was reckless?
Is it me that they haunt?
Ushered into an unwanted grave
Bound in chains, drowned in steel.
I was made into a social slave
And died as if I were not real.

Damages have been reversed
I have so many flaws to be purged
Tempted for the gift of death to end this living curse
I plead for you to pass the torch
Hand over the destiny I've been waiting for
I can no longer endure this unbearably slow dirge
My burner
Send me off to the fiery abyss

Weep not for past sins
Leave behind those memories
Weep not for scarred skin
Forgive those memorable tragedies
Let go of that darkness within
Grasp onto serenity
Lift up the veil for the ending
Hold onto clarity
Choose peace over pain
Pick calm over chaos
Choose love over hate

Faces Of Mine
A smile once so true
It changed direction over time
I knew it was there because of you
But it was just belief based from a lie
Hope cannot be granted
And then stripped away
You have left my core tainted
With these wicked games that you play
May it be a lesson
Or turn it into fact and truth
Love won't be as important
As I use these scars as my proof

These eyes were once so hopeful
It was considered the rise after the fall
But my tears became unfaithful
As pain plunged out of my skull
No passion for the heart / No light for the dark
No love for the liars / No guilt for the defilers
No truth for the corrupted / No solace for

A peace that transcends

Upon me is the last dawn
Faded away has the last dusk

Mesmerized in deep suspense

My tears become so intense
These last moments of hope are vital

Accept the toll of my undying faith

I was careless as I fell
Mocking life itself
Every secret I held
Defined a broken side of myself
An inner slaughter I could not defend
A one-sided war that I could not fight against
My downfall is what I didn't want to prevent
I always lusted after the idea of
The Guardian is DeadTime unfolds, life moves onThe Guardian is Dead5 months ago in Concrete Poetry More Like This
from trading secrets to
empty spaces under mistletoe
It's that time of the year
when solitude lingers
where happiness once lay
When a six foot tree turns
into a pathetic branch
with a lonely star on top
Where presents once lay
bottles of whiskey have replaced
and Christmas carols are slurred
There was never an angel
as I was your light
or so you once said
There was never an angel
as you were my guardian
but that guardian is now dead

Like dying leaves in the fall
Brief and short, not meant to last
When the distant voices call
Fresh, white roses on granite stone
The cold, carved sound of my name
A monument over the dust of my bone
When I return to from whence I came
All that we truly own is nothing
All must it one day be given back
There is no such thing as remaining
Even the mountains will splinter and crack
All the gold in the world is nothing worth
When it can't buy you one more breath
For deep in the shadows, I think I heard
That the price of life is death

I found the sea was the farthest I could go
I scoured the earth, looking for you
But walking on water is something I can't do
I walked through mountains, I swam through streams
I looked everywhere for the one I knew in dreams
I crossed barren deserts and flew through a storm
Until I'd forgotten what it was like feeling warm
I've never heard your voice but I hear you every night
I've never known your face but I see you in the light
I've come so far, but are you just smoke in a mirror?
I only hope that one day the mist will be clearer
But if you've been calling and searching like me
Then go where

I'm not the hero of the day
I just know what's right
I'm not some selfless saint
Someone has to bear the light
I don't expect any praise
All my deeds are of the same kind
I need not your thanks
No relief can fill this void in my life
No rest for the wicked / No love for the abandoned
No hope for the innocent / No pain for the departed
I'll give you my all / I'll rise while I fall
I'll answer your call / I'll serve until there's no pulse

Never have I forced you to read my works!
So don't complain about their insane nature,
The pain, the lust, the unbound desire,
It's not my fault that I feel in such ways,
My emotions might sicken you now,
But it's just the way I see most days!
I have to get it out somehow,
Now that I'm at this dangerous point,
Or else my mind might implode,
Shaking, I feel my faith erode,
I never forced you to even be close,
You have all freedom to go,
Just leave me alone,
I ask you kindly,
Once, twice,
Leave.

Where the wildflowers grow
Where the s e c r e t s tend to hide
Lies a place, which few people know
An old, b r o k e n house
Fit for a family of two
Nestled deep within the woods
A young woman and her granny too
All dressed in red
It’s time to play
Little does she know
She’s got a new companion that’s there to stay
He watches from the shadows
A guardian of the night
There to keep her company
But instead brings fear and fright
He means no harm
A beast misunderstood
A sheep in wolf’s clothing
A faithful friend, if he could
The moon shines bright
Across the sunken path
She’s all by herself

Why am I here alone, once again?
I remember this pain, the aching inside me.
Once more there are tears on my face.
You promised this time not to leave me.
All your words made me truly believe.
“You are stuck with me” is what you said.
I awoke though to find you were gone.
As the days passed, I made new excuses.
Now it’s getting to long to deny.
Maybe this time you’re gone for forever.
All I know is I love you no matter.
But why do you still make me cry?
