The Binding

My hands refuse to still
Too fragile now to write you poetry
My walls are paper thin and crumbling
I can hardly breathe when I think of you and me
My heart refuses to keep time
I'm bound within my anxiety
Repeating mantras in my head
"I know that we are meant to be"

Breaking Point

Open mouthed and aching
No breath will come
Cracked lips refuse to speak
Tears will not cease
Eyes locked against the onslaught
Mind negating perception
Heart wavering
Failing

Half Life

How could you leave me here

To live this half life

If I could just breath your life into me

Maybe these nights wouldn't get so lonely

Because I need you here

These pills they don't bring you to me

But they keep me fighting day to day

Without you

They don't take away the pain

But they're the only thing that keeps

Me from giving up

You're the only reason I still have hope

You're my only reason

The Better Part of You

Bearing the weakness you build in your mind
Hiding the love of the stars in your eyes
You're not allowed to break down and cry
Knowing if you let yourself feel you will die

The Harbinger

It took me a lifetime to find you.
Fate is cruel to keep me from you.

These thoughts run through my twisted mind
Why can't I see?
Now I know why they say love is blind
A vision of the future
Unraveled before my eyes
Could this path be
One of fates greatest lies?
Could this prophesy be
What is killing our great rise?

This latent dream
Keeps my wavering heart aligned
I am the harbinger
And you will be mine.

Fickle Fortune

Has fate fallen short this time?
Do I deserve this loveless life?
Where were you when I was alone at night?
Seeing nothing but nightmares
Where in the darkness there is no light
Destiny becomes a bitter word
When you're so far away
And I know it hurts
I still wait without you.
