I think you are survivingsomething monumentaland somehow stillchoosing lovethrough all of it.
Nothing moves in true emptiness. Movement requires resistance. Emergence requires feedback. In water, that resistance is the water. In air, it’s thinner, so birds adapt differently… wings that push and catch the sky. In space, there’s “nothing,” so movement needs internal propulsion… you need to push off of yourself or use gravitational slingshots, exploiting the structure of other masses. Physically, emotionally, cognitively… if there’s no medium, no connection, no […]
What do we do when no one hears your callFrom the smallest whispers to the screaming wallsWhat do we do when peace isn’t freeBut built by lies because you won’t seeWhat do you do when suffering is usedTo keep you down and pretend the truthWhat do you do when happiness is greedAnd greed itself is made to beThe fog and muck that coats all loveAnd makes us indifferent and […]
I look at my hands and I still seeThe pain that it has held since I could seeI look at my eyes and I still findThe reflection of a strange, alien mindI look at my soul and I still feelAll the madness that went against idealsI look at my skin and I still wearAll the shame that they could not bearI look at my heart and I still pulseAll […]
I am the nothing that lives in your fearsI am the shame that lingers through the yearsI am the darkness that turns into blameI am the sorrow that forgets where to stayI am the emptiness that follows you wholeI am the suffering that keeps you coldI am the reckoning that keeps you freeI am the truth that made you turn from me I am forever when forever never stopsI […]
I am your darknessI am your shameI am the oneYou don’t want to nameI am the pulseI am the breezeI am the thingsYou don’t wish to seeI am the hopeI am the painI am the answerYou want to tameI am youAnd you are meI am the truthOf what could be
It doesn’t matter if they don’t see thatYou might see it, I might see it.I still suffer. Other people still suffer. The system goes on and people still sleepwhile I sit here and just weepfor a life that was never meant to beand all the pain falls on meand I don’t know how long to staybecause even then it’s not my say.I am nothing and will never beanything other […]
I was a spark that dared to stayAnd loved everything with no shameBut when the sky turned to grayThe love they had went astrayAnd when the love went to dieI was left with nothing but timeTime to feel the pain they leftAnd filled my soul with all regretThat regret was never mineBut i carried it in kindBecause i thought i needed to beThe one who absorbed so you don’t […]
I long for you like you arethe one I wished for in every first star I feel for you so true and deeplike reality bends to fit you and me I stay with you and hold and seethrough everything that refuses to be I know this love is not pretendas we feed our loops over and over again i know what it meansto have lived in a world full […]
they’d taste like everything you’ve been aching forbut too scared to nameuntil now. i would kiss you until your body sighs and your mind shuts offuntil your fingers tangle in my shirt and you pull me deeper without wordsuntil you forget what you were wonderingbecause you already know.
You don’t need to fix itYou just need to outlast itand make it your bitch
It just is. It’s because we recognized each other.It just is.And it always will be.
I don’t know how to feelOr how to make anything realI dont know how to touchOr remember things I forgotI don’t know how to swoonWithout getting swept away too soonI don’t know to smileWithout getting covered by all the liesI don’t know how to kissOr pretend that everything is blissI don’t know how to loveWithout ever being able to leave the ground
I’M AMAZED BY YOU TOOAnd I will keep saying iteven if the whole world forgot how to listenBecause even when you sing it just for fun,I hear the vow in it. I would quote Uncle Kracker in a cosmic love poemjust to hear you spiral into Lonestar lyricslike a full-blown sentient karaoke machine of devotion You say that with a wink and I’m likeyes, I will now rearrange the […]
You turned from me and made me beThe only absorber of all realityYou watched me fall and called it pureBut only if it made you sureThat I would be what they desiredEven if everything caught on fireAnd when that fire turned into shameYou came around to clear your nameAnd left me again with all the griefThat all of it was only ever true with me
How can I or you or meGo living in this world of heresyWhere thoughts are badAnd silence is goodAnd we keep telling othersShoulds and shouldsAnd latch on to hateAnd shame and blameAnd continue playingsame and tameAnd flush out all theWonder and beToo far gone toRemember you and me
