~Bent~

i've tried so hard
to fit this into the slot machine
but my coin is bent.
 
Someone offers
to lend me a different coin
-but i refuse.
 
i still search
for a 
bent machine.

~Beautifully Forgotten~

He was the quite type
The one who got stepped over
Left behind
Alone.

She was the wild type
The one who stepped over others
Always lonely
in her mind.

Together they were amazing
Fireworks they created
Time stood still
Consumed eternity in an instant.

Love, lost in a moment of lust
Eternity faded into darkness.

He was the guilty type
The one who hid in shadow
Leaving trust behind
A mask of sanity so carefully drawn.

~Quiet, Just Quiet~

The still autumn night
no longer sings sweet music.
 
No soft piano or
raindrops on my worn
 
rooftop,
no calm or solace.
 
No violent winds
creeping
 
through my window sill,
no hope, no promise.
 
We are the lost warriors
of our time.
 
We are broken
we are beautiful.
 
Suffocating.
Exhaustion slowly setting in.

~Hope Remains~

Fading, sinking, falling
into the depths of your regrets
there's nothing left but apathy.
A frail sense of indifference
at the cost of your arrogance.
Tripping over words
stumbling before you, helpless-
because you're open and
constantly dropping into the void
you've decided to take the world head-on.

...But place your hand in mine
let's attempt the impossible
and paint the flowers
with reds and crimson blushes
stained with passion
breathing life into lillies
crushed by the weight of past decays
trapped inside doors of sober bliss
we'll seek the path to dwindle in peace.
What we find will become our
perfect deluded wilderness.
