Archives

my dear i can only dream
of how beautiful it would be
to stay
in your thoughts
when the days are dark
and my thoughts are darker

alas
time slips away
memories fade
like faces in the rain
but yours remains
like a crystal
deep within the archives

for you are good
and i am not
for you are strong
and i am not
for you are lovely
and i am not

The Path

loneliness is a path
coated with the webs of times long gone
and memories you wished you could forget
the burdens of a former self
over flowing with regret
                  
wishing for change
wishing to be someone different
empty footsteps replace the person you lost
long ago
                  
there is a light
but the will to keep going does not come
it is broken, destroyed, frayed
like the hope of a new beginning
defeated and gone
                  
"not all those who wander are lost"
but that is not true
we are all lost
we are all looking for something to save us
we are all ghosts
wandering our own path

Loathing

it seeps in
venom turning to ice in your veins
its not fear
its not love
it consumes you
locks you in
a prison
your own personal hell
traps you
suffocates you
until you know nothing else
violent
agressive
loathing
it burns through every fibre
engulfs you
drowns you
but you're still breathing
sinking further and further
into the never ending depths
of the river

Isolation

eventually you give up
you stop trying
you stop caring
everything is just a blur
a mess
nothing makes sense
people let you down
its the only thing you know
the only thing you're sure of
you push people away
you become isolated
nothing motivates you
nothing excites you
its just a meaningless existence
filled with disappointment
emptiness
nothing

and then you're gone
you vanish
as if you never mattered at all
