For Each that Linger

With every breath I breathe

I still don’t want to move on

This pain is water

The sense is nicotine

Why are you such a burden on my life

Why can’t I stop inhaling you

The pain you take isn’t worth the pain you give

I want to quit but my body doesn’t

My mind is stronger than you

I will quit even if it takes me till the grave

Standard

Grains of the Wind

Can you see the pain behind my eyes

The tyranny of the lost

You say you can understand what it means to lose

The feeling of abandonment

The feeling of a part of you

You won’t understand how I feel

At least not until you’ve lost a part of your Soul

This feeling has been here all my life

Just let me pass in peace

Standard

To the Vacancy in life

“Oh how you’re so happy and cheerful”

I’m really not, the violent implosion under it all is tearing me apart

The difference is I stay optimistic and hope where there is none

Of course I don’t want to exist, but I have to

Of course I feel dead inside, but I bury it

Of course I feel alone and apart from everyone, but I hide it

Of course my heart and soul mourn, it only shows when I am alone

Of course I’m depressed, I just hide it away

Of course my mind stirs, I just don’t let it out

Of course I wish I had someone and was someone else

Of course I’m vulnerable, but I overpower it with laughter

These are the demons that lurk in my shadow

I am and always will be the person you see, just the Strom inside is the part that hides

Standard

Belonging to the Ocean

There is a sense of serenity in the moment of closing your eyes with the sun beaming down, lighting the back of your eye lids. The sound of the waves crashing against the sand, the breeze cooling to the touch. The smell of the ocean and the taste of the salt spray. The heat against the skin, exciting your cells to darken. Your toes sift the sand. That is the moment where nothing else matters but the happiness in the moment.

Standard

Clouds with a Chance of failures

To boast a breed of iniquity

To banter the thought of disbelief

To reach the pinnacle of disarray

Never to see what is forward

Never to see what was

Never to see what it is

To belong to the mundane

We react but never change

To the unwilling a stage we go

Pick your story and not your act

Standard

The Indictment of Following your Heart

The moon rises to the west

Each tinker of light a star

The cool breeze that pushes the trees

The damp grass under your feet

The darkness hiding your fragility

Born into chaos the lamp is lit

The mile marker is set

How far are you willing to go through the night

Each tempest thought to carry

Each memory to forget

Each pain to endlessly endure

The twighlights decent to a dawn of purity

The night feels everlasting

Will tomorrow ever come?
