A mourning hush Followed by an afternoon rush Into the dark unknown noise Nearly escapable Twilight seeps the curtain

Forgo the misery Misread My words of choice Shall not need this voice any long… Without the chords found right in…

Have a nice night You say With a nimble frown Living down for the moment Down to my last irrefutable taste…

Innocents a non existent memory A child with no smile Shattering eyes pierce A distraction from the pain Consequence lay deep within

The air draws cool Wisping wind Fragile leaves fall Trees bare A thought of you this too shall pa…

Slowly Eyes wide open Shut Repetitive ease Somehow I know tides crashing foa…

I’ll show you I’m not what you see Your interpretation My sorrow Weighs heavy

Not such Cynical perplexity Pain frail ruptured cells Timid throb Things not such

I think often of you Often of my thoughts of you Remembering you on the second stor… Hanging with tips tight Grasp

Wake to find you’re still alone Standing naked by the phone In a room full of strangers Walk with your back to laughter’s Cruel intent

No need to speak I see your eyes… A lifetime of love lost Poignant words Will not expel these exasperated e… So don’t speak another week

In the clearings Beyond the gallows long drop Where only vultures may pass A crow’s extended wings At a time when all is silent

A not so sudden quake in my heart Resonating through my core Bursts of shattering pragmatic tho… Distant from need Sleep is as if an enemy of control

Behold brazen dysfunction Disorder destitute Denied Defy Dreams definition

Adjust time on your clock To the buzz between your ears Fitting the wait On your chest Agonize the illusion of innocence

What is this something I have been trying to articulate So many ways yet they all sound th… Still no answers Found

Sorry you are late A melancholy has overcome you A resolve within me Nonexistent cure Crashing tides led you away

We share something few ever find An understanding Not needing Not spoken Felt

Is Is this the end I awake with this thought A final day Stones stacked straight

In my mind like a flood A force of nature A cognoscente reminder Love not too close Closed doors shall not emerge

Sit with this A fleet of infinite thought Dark moments retract Struggling to remember Figurative laughter
