Your eyes were icy and grey that day
but you knew I always like the cold
and when we had too much to drink
we joked about us growing old
Your hands were soft and your voice was low
as we sat alone in that crowded room
and when the man said it was "time to go"
we stumbled home beneath the moon
Your golden glow; warm porcelain
like pale tea in my favourite mug
I laid you down on a bed of clouds
and I asked you what it meant to love
Your eyes spoke to me which words cannot;
moonlight silver and powder blue
your gentle breaths upon my chest
said what it mean to love was you
Some place you've gotta be by iitz-Z3R0, literature
Literature
Some place you've gotta be
I know that when you go, I'll find you by the sea
there's no place that you'd rather be
I know that when you go, you won't stop to look at me
there's always some place you've gotta be
That night in the park, as we stared and we counted stars
as they shot across the sky
They shot pain into my heart, as we lied there in the dark
because I knew it was a matter of time
I thought that I had seen two collide, but they went on their separate ways
as they faded into the black
and that's when I felt it deep inside, that we were kind of the same
and that you wouldn't be coming back
I know that when you go, I'll find you by the sea
there's no place t
Here I am, alone again tonight
I've cursed my heart, and I've hoped to die
but when you smile with your eyes
I still put down my guns and I don't know why
And I don't know
where it is you want to go
And I don't know
where it is you want to go
One more night, singing in the dark
I squint my eyes at faces in the park
the sea of passing cars
And here I am, but where are you tonight?
The bars have closed, just me and the streetlights
And I don't know
where it is you want to go
And I don't know
where it is you want to go
I was one day short of drinking for a week straight.
The mysterious cuts and bruises that riddled my aching body were probably a mirror reflection of my insides.
My stomach was a poisonous swamp of poor decisions and lack of impulse control
while my liver was the poor whipping boy for the sins my nicotine stained hands had committed.
As my lungs seethed and surged trying to take in the stale, smokey air around me, my bloodshot eyes scanned the tomb I had locked myself away in.
Empty cans littered the small glass table; cigarette ash still clinging to their rims.
A stack of instant ramen bowls carelessly placed inside one another leaned preca
Perhaps I shoud've known,
when you took my hand and led me through the graveyard
of all the lost lovers
that once laid claim to your conclaved heart.
But I was unswayed; a bi-product of my desperation.
The wretched years that lay at the heels of my shoes
couldn't outstretch their horrible claws
far enough to stop me from moving forward with you.
And so we walked together, hands tightly clasped,
stepping over the ghosts of girls and bones of boys
onward and onward for what felt like a lifetime
towards the mists of uncertainty and unpoise.
And when the fog become choking and thick
and we became lost in it's haze
our little hands began to sl
I am the loathing and lonesome
but ever-yearning
I am the searching and sorrowed
but never learning
I am the careful and composed
but ever-alight
I am the friendly and followed
but never tonight
I am the hopeful and heartful
but ever-somber
I am the today and tomorrow
but never longer
Like mighty winds to a sleeping sea
that whip and whirl the waters to wake
two gentle hands have shaken me
in hopes that my sheathe of stone should break.
And should my hearth be lit once more
I pray the flame for years to grow.
To never douse through rain nor pour;
to keep me warm through ice and snow.
So I ask you now, O gods of time;
Heavenly things that watch from above:
"Please lend me strength, O thee divine
and let me keep my little dove."

Exhale.
This isn't a dream;
Though the lofty clouds seem too serene,
Though yearning lips seem too pristine,
I won't wake up when blue meets green.
An ocean of silver stars between you and I,
The motion of passing cars give life to the night sky.
Gazing upwards I breathe in and close my eyes,
wondering if I'll ever get a hello, let alone goodbyes.
Your sweet voice echoes through where a heart should beat,
Stolen away, in a locked-box shall it ever be,
Rusted, forgotten, forever locked inside of me,
or so I had thought - until I found the key.
Exhale.
This isn't a dream.
I'm torn in half.
I don't, know, what, to, do.
I can't vent anywhere but here. I'm too god damned paranoid.
My skin's fucking crawling and I'm ready to start cutting pieces out of my chest.
Just flip me upside down and unscrew my head - pour it all out, nothing's good in there.
None of it flows.
I think I'm going to puke.
I traded my love for empty security.
