my letter of good parting

Standard

lets go with this.

at least 5 times a day– something inside the very fabric of my soul,nestled down in that deep hidden,lost,uncharted,plume of depth.. a fervor churns vigorously inside my obscure existence. the acute distraction, i implement daily, hourly, momentarily, to keep myself from withdrawing into a chaotic swell of sorrow and malady. The incessant affliction of disparate faces you wear so often. I cannot keep up with the changing of your tide, the swift motion of here now there, is it me or you. I cannot begin to paint the picture of where it leaves me in my own emotional battle.  You stagger back and forth; aloof; and unreachable. So much insolence to others, and yet you demand others to be so willing to accept you for your insouciance. Your shortcomings, your for lack of better word, insanity.

Pardon me for sharpening my swords, in the wake of your silence. you torture me with your carelessness.  and you sew me back up with vibrant delusion. only to relinquish me into perplexing moments of disarray.

your zeal has lost its luster.. your charm has eluded you; and left you to waver. you dont possess the obvious capacity it would take to love a woman as spellbinding as I stand.

i never wanted ill for you. only to see your world light up in the dark. to shine with the most glorious of color. to watch pastel sunrise slowly make sweet love to your warm skin. to know that even in your darkest hour; light would make its way into the tiniest, hidden, places in your heart. to know that because I could not be there; close enough to share the same air flowing through your lungs… that my soul could pick up and carry through the longest of nights. through the most arduous of days. to find you.. to enlighten you. to watch you in your totality.

but somehow i have shown to be inadequate in my feat to express compassion, and tenderness to you. I have somehow- not met your requirement that you so often dissipate so far away from me.

i must tell you it causes me a immense suffering. to walk with a fragmented heart. to feel the rigidity in the tone of your once rich, velvet voice. I feel as if, my own discern, has been sundered; lashed and left to lay; in defeat of a love–that has once again- proved itself soluble to the very root of her foundation.

that feeling; robs me of my happiness, because you so selfishly take from me; when you need; when you feel like i am deserving.. and that feeling; drowns any love; i will ever be able to hold onto for you; you suffocate me in this box. these walls.. lined with pictures of you; the casual aloof ring in your voice, the dust collecting like memories of an old friend; a tired story; a fairy princess who never made it out of the ivory tower.

but I will, again mend my scars with the the utmost benevolence, in the greatest magnitude of strength and conviction. you didnt know how to evoke empathy — and for you I feel sorry.

Changing colour

Standard

The leaves are changing colors
As September has it’s stay
The air is getting cooler
And I can feel it in my bones
Something in me was dead wrong.
But I chose to ignore it all along.
The leaves are changing with the seasons..
As I lay my love for you to rest.
There are things I cannot change
And I think a goodbye is best.
My heart fills up with hope
And god I’ve used it.
And I’m making this choice
To leave it.
The wind sends shivers down my spine
And as I woke this morning..
I got the answer I’ve been begging for
But got distracted by the time.
I was waiting up for you..
But I was worried about me too..
I lost it all on you.
I loved you like a house on fire..
I wanted to bring you back to life.
Now all of this forsaken..
And all of it in spite..
As October makes it way into the weeks ahead..
I’m sure I will be just fine..
I know with time..
A fickle thing..
Things that left the bruises …
Slowly lose their ache.
The scars will form with time to come..
I’ll be fine I knew I was.
And it will lose it’s luster
But I won’t lose my shine..
I just wish you had told me …
Because now it all seems like a line..
June was beautiful —
Colored with greens and blues.
Just like the seasons change
So did you…
And I’ll always sing your song
When I hear anathallo
Or when I see a pale pink sunrise
Alone at 5am.
But you’ve been gone so long…
And I’ve had to fill up all the cracks of you…
With pieces of myself …
there wasn’t much to grieve..
And the leaves are changing colors
As Septembers stay is over due
A whisper with goodbye
I just hope you know —
I loved you..
I hope you know I tried.

No sleep

Standard

What happens to me
When I’m here alone.
When thoughts of you so heavy
And I’ve no one to call
When my heart breaks in two
Over where you left me back in July
I’ve nothing left
But the tears left in my eyes
Welling with a sadness
Broken with disdain
What more could I tell you.
What more to make you stay…
And so I’ll lay my head down
Numb here with the stars
I have fought the good fight
I have come this far..
Didn’t you understand it..,
I am always where you are…

You come and go in waves.

Standard

I find myself lost in thoughts of you.
I can’t help my heart let go of you.
It doesn’t get better.
You come and go in waves.
Some days I can’t get out of bed.
Some days I walk around in a daze
I keep retracing all my steps
I relieve every second of you
I try to figure out where it happened
Try to see the day…
Where I lost you.
I’m drinking you away..
Today blurs into yesterday
Tomorrow I’ll pull through.
I think of you out there.
Palm trees and ocean
Sand and green.
I wonder if you miss me
Like I’m missing you.
And I don’t care how we say it
I don’t care if you paint it
Across a September sky.
I am sick of crying
I’m sick of loves that fade away
With you my heart so open
And now I’m left indifferent.
It’s been two months and 18 days
Since you took your love away..
And I can’t stop drinking about you..
It never goes away..
Some days I’m fine …
Other days I can’t speak your name …
Other days I don’t know
If I’m coming or going …
If this is real or if it’s fake…
My heart hangs heavy
On a hook inside my chest..
I try to move around you
But In the memories
Motion what I lack..
I’m still lost in thoughts of you.
I can’t make my heart let go of you
It hasn’t gotten better..
You come and go in waves…

State lines

Standard

My heart so small
A love close to call
Please Hold my hand
don’t let me fall.
I wanted to swim
I wanted to fly
I wanted to run
Pick me up love
I’m going down.
The green tree tops
Warm sun in the sky
I think of the summer
I’m suspended in time
Lift me I’m falling
Hear me I’m calling
I’m running
I’m flying
I’m swimming the sea
Mere are the thoughts
A memory to me
I’m chasing
I’m searching
I’m here in the dark
I’m bending
I’m breaking
I’m shining in stars
My weight much to heavy
A heart of burden I bare
I tried to forget
But you’re still right there
I should of just stayed
Where I was in June
Not happy
Not sad
I knew the song
I had my reasons
Yours were all wrong
I’m drowning
I’m sinking
I’m losing my grip
I drink til I’m sober
It’s all of I’ve got left
I’m dying without
The air in my chest.

Not one of my better pieces … Womp.

Standard

Were fading much to fast my love
I’ll stand here in this corner
And wait for it to pass
Weather another violent storm
My clothes are drenched with saltiness
I’m covered up in tears
I open up my eyes so wide
But my whole world is losing light again…
I can feel it slipping —
Deep and hollow in my bones
Were all just pawns of kings who lie to us from up upon a throne.
I close my eyes and take a breath
Hold it stinging in my lungs
The brightness of the sun.
Burns my wounded skin.
Embodied by the feeling
A sickness in my chest.
Here I stand as stone.
As I have always done.
My insides wrapped in knots
A slow burn behind my eyes
My breathing starts to quicken
It’s a nervous tingle in my toes
A sad way to go my love
As you turn obsidian;
And I can’t stop wondering…
I can’t stop wondering…

If you were ever here at all…
My memories fall to ashes
I sift through the fire
As we smolder there.

It burns my fragile fingers
Singed by loves despair
Id burn a thousand times again
If you promise me you’d care.

Your song.

Standard

My heart blanketed by cold.
My eyes swollen from the wake.
Pardon my indifference
I didn’t give my heart for you to take.
I didn’t see it coming
I didn’t brace to break.
My body tired from nights I lay awake
My soul has grown so weary
You left me to long in the dark
And I will never hear a song
That sounds the same as yours
I will never dance so freely
As I did in the shadow of your sun.
If we could go back love
I would not do what I have done
Sometimes you get caught up
In the swell of storm
Drowned out by the rain
And I will hear the melody
Of all the songs you sang
But i fear I’m losing touch
And my love, you never came …
I stood there waiting
Hands empty at my sides
When you left for California …
I only had your word
That here with me was where your heart was.
That I was where you lay.
I gave my best fight
And it still; not enough.
Colloquial I love you’s …
A call that never came.
My love, I would of waited
But I needed you to say…
I needed you to tell me …
That your pardon never changed …
Foolish discretion..
Heart strings woven in your name
The sounds of silence
Were too much for me to overcome
Why hold on to you–
When I know you’re not holding on to me…

8.11=1

Standard

Sullen sunshine.
Maybe I am scared
I am holding on so tight..
I can’t find the answers
I haven’t found where it went wrong
The indifference in me rising…
Your love for me decayed.
I wanted so much for you
I wanted to take the blame
Now you barely speak to me
And I can’t hold my heart together
I feel our moments
Losing meaning
As another heavy night descends
and I wish I wasn’t partial
To the sound of my breaking bones
Maybe I’m not able to be loved
Maybe I’m just drawn out here
Maybe I have a spitfire tongue
Maybe it’s just not for me
In all my lonely hours
Fickle with desire
Stolen by the sound
Soaking in misery
Absorbed by my hearts shame
I’m waiting for the day
I know you have the heart
But I’m hoping that you’ll stay
That you loved me all this time
But it turns out all the same
I’m broken like I’ve always been
I am only dreaming
And I know we can’t go back to June
But it’s the only thing I have
Keeping me together
I only have my moments of you
Before you grew so cold
What did you take me for ?
Was i just a temporary happiness
Something to hold to keep…
It doesn’t really matter though
You’re not losing any sleep

This is shit.

Standard

I listen to these records
Songs all named for you
The once sweet melodies
Are now all sadly tuned
In these hours in the night
Quarter after two.
I’m listening to the soundtrack
The one of me and you.
My hands they feel so heavy
Put my pen to page
My gaze steady at these four walls
I close my eyes tightly
And hope that my heart can take me back
To the moments at the cabin
I thought they’d surely last.
The crackle of the fire
You built me with wet wood
I hang there in your laughter
My mind playing tricks on me
I lay there in the darkness
The stale air clinging in the room
The sound of you breathing
Your breath too close to care
I close my eyes so tightly
Hoping I could stay there for a while
But something breaks the silence
And I’m not there at all.
I watched you as you floated
Across the tired floor
You brought a cup of coffee
And kissed my head under my hair
You sat there in the morning haze
As I drank the sight of you.
I close my eyes so tightly
To recollect the scent of you.
You played me the softest chords on your guitar.
And I’m back in Wisconsin
But my memory holds me there.
I can’t tell if I want to forget it all
Or live in the moments that we had
It doesn’t matter now…
The thought still makes me sad.
All I do these days is wander
In all my pieces of you.

Bullet teeth

Standard

I’m laying low
Catching bullets with my teeth
if I didn’t know better
Id say you had someone else
In between your sheets
But do I know it
All too well
As the spilling fluid
Seeps through the swell.
Tainted victory
Splattered black
I’ve lost my touch
You’ve turned your back
And I’m waiting for the sun to crack
Rest my angst
For my swollen tongue
My fingers hurt into my bones
Rip it open
Mine to give
But yours to take
But do I know you all to well.
You’re a chorus storm
A bleeding valve
My feet splintered under wood
Split me open shed my blood
I’m archaic
As the west was won
You can’t just come here
One and done
My body jaded
Swirling in your storm
Rest me here upon your shore
Let me stare against the night
Mercy lifts me and then I break.
Top to bottom
I’ve bled dry
Shielded maiden wane; her chest
Battles lost; wars won best
Shiver clamor down her spine
I hold her close
Her tears unkind
She sobs into my shoulder blade
But she won’t say what for she weeps..
But we all know what sickness
Has her weak.
Waiting for the sun to bleed
Out from a silver sky
Touch her skin
Illuminate her eyes
To give her solace in her great divide
Her heart emended a million times
She will falter and come to pass
She catches stars and puts them in a glass.
To remind herself they fade out fast
Forgiveness is her only stone to cast

And still she understands
A man so vast.
A fickle moment
A simple laugh
But she glimmers
Like a golden beam
And she knows her
heartaches won’t out last the year
As she waits for the sun to come
A battle lost
A war she’s won.
