My Poetry

Affliction

Pull me back to reality.
I've grown so tired of this maze.
There seems no fucking end to it.
I will it away, but it stays.

The only thing that makes me calm
happens to be the worst of all.
Who would guess pain would help the pain.
Carnal pain makes the rest seem small.

With each and every wave it brings,
it slaps me back to here and now.
Sometimes it's needed by me so
there's no reason to disavow.

In my release, I see no wrong.
But that doesn't mean that it's right.
I would stop the hurt that I cause,
if my mind wasn't wrought with blight.

Loved & Lost

All I wanted was for you to be there for me
when I needed you the most.
I never demanded anything from you.
I just wanted to be close.

Forever will I remember what's been done.
Little was done for me,
and my true feelings weren't quite enough for you.
I only wish you could see.

I loved you with all my heart. You know I did.
But I just never got through.
I would have done anything for you, in time,
if you would have loved me too.

This shows what little bit that I know of love
when you think it was fake.
Well, believe me or not, I know it was true.
At least for my own heart's sake.

I'll miss you so much and what we could have had.
I'll never forget the way
you showed me a love I've never felt before.
I only wish you would stay.
