I Wish You Wouldn't

I wish you wouldn't.
Tell me those sweet words
In that rough voice
That softens just for me;
Tell me that we'll find a way
To weather this storm
And start our life as one;
Tell me that it's ok,
Tell me it's alright,
That we're far from crazy
For living by faith and not by sight.

Leave taken

I miss the light in your eyes.
It once told me, you are mine.
Now all I see is the cold depth of death.
The leave taken without regret.

Don't Bother to Wait

I have nothing to say.
My fears are not based in stone,
But my trust is quavering at your tone.
Is there something I should know?

And if you want to leave,
Please.
Just go.

Him

He lies as though he is
In the comforting folds of sleep,
But I see his eyes are open
And they wait for eternity.

Heartburn

There is no escape.
When what breaks silence is silence,
And your loudest cries are never heard,
And they come from within :
Where there is ravaging and destruction,
Tears, blood and endless spots
Of blackness undefined
Tinged by a forgotten red of scraped knees,
Wounded heads and more.
Where you find that realisation
That there is no one.
No one to hold out a hand
To say that they understand
When they are in a war of their own.
And one puff of that repulsive smoke
That clears the mind feels like rot in my soul.

The Blackness

I wear a crown
Of shining black thorns,
And revel in a gown
Of black bejewelled nights,
And in my hand, a sceptre bright
Holding the crescent moon alight -
I say, Love me. If you dare.
Or push me away. See if I care.
One hug will not suffice
This thirst you see in my eyes,
One push might kill all
But the one I hold aloft.
And this crescent moon will shine,
From the jaded sceptre I hold -
Lives of sorrow and regret,
For love is not to be told.

Listless

What is it that I find in your eyes?
A longing for some paradise,
A longing for something far, far away,
Or is it a longing that we stay?

I don't know now.
I don't know how.
But the depth in your eyes -
It sears my soul, brands and takes it own.

One piece you left,
No attitude, no heat.
One piece you left,
It is that I keep.

One piece of you,
No pretense, no chitin.
One piece of you,
Mine, no hiding.
