With No Will to Go On

How can you trust
When they keep failing you?
How can you care
If they stop caring too?
How can you love
When you aren't loved back?
How can you live
If your life falls off track?
How can I know
When things will be alright?
For I am left crying
Having lost yet another fight.

Buried in Memory

Is there a greater wound to be had than what I have known?
It is a wound of having had but having lost.
I do not know how I am supposed to make it and go on alone.
But we all continue on no matter the cost.
'Tis better to have loved and lost then never to have loved at all
Or so they have always said to me.
Yet I cannot help but think that they are wrong for a recall
Of undying love, dead, is the worst to see.

Closing Up

I used to think friends were the key to happiness
But that was sadly untrue
The only place where you will find any solace
Is somewhere inside of you
All the pain and all the suffering out there
Has to be let in
Leave the door to yourself securely locked
Stay safe within

And the Silence Speaks to Me

Trust lost
And not a word was said
Status quo
Gone in my heart
Changed in my head
Unspoken truce
Over a war never mentioned
With battles left unfought
Wasted time
All of it for naught

Chrysalis Dreaming

It's time to give up
I clearly have lost
I held on for this long
But what was the cost

I gave all that I was
Keeping nothing for me
For I had known
There was more I could be

But today I am the same
Tomorrow I will be too
Becoming something more
Never could have been true

Nearing an End

Spikes from the ground

Only a hundred feet down

I'm already falling

Escape seems hopeless

From a pain I can't guess

But I fell on my own

For that which will not come

For that which will not come
I am waiting
Nothing else really matters
I must wait
If it arrived and I was gone
I would regret
So here for now I must say
Not to regret
Alone in the cold and rain
Just to wait
For that which I will never have
I am waiting
