When Darkness Falls

In the darkness
My demons come out
To play with my head
And mess with my emotions

But when the light shines
They all flee
To stay in wait
While the sun shines

But I alone know
That when the moon comes
With it the haunts too
And sleep is a far off dream

Phoenix and Ashes

Everything that I know is falling apart
Millions of pieces I cant begin to patch
Relationships lost forever and good
Loves that I will never hold slip away
Sand in my hands, I watch it grain by grain
Until only one remains, and that is a small hope
One not large enough for these wholes
One that cannot possibly fill all of me

Everything I know is falling apart
Millions of things I wish I said
Relationships lost forever and good
Loves never known smolder out
The flame lost, only ash remains
And I must try and find the phoenix
Among the ruble and the many pieces of me
Will I find hope, or just another you?

I am in love with poison and I cant stop drinking it.

Reasons

Because I am tired
Because being awake hurts too much
Because you’re too loud
Because the sun is too bright
Because the bed is warm
Because it doesn’t talk to me
Because I don’t have to talk back
Because life is so simple behind closed eyes
Because beyond that door is too far
Because my cat is on top of me
Because you wont leave me alone
Because I am happy at this moment
Because I don’t want my dream to go away
Because Russian has too many rules
Because life has too few
Because I have writer’s block
Because no one’s online
Because I am bored
Because there is school
Because it’s just too damn easy
To keep laying right here.

Cliche

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Hopefully I will be alive in the morning.

Can You Hear the Dead

Silence can echo
I swear it can
Louder than any heartbeat
And making more impact than the gunshot

After the smoke has lifted
It settles heavily

Silence can echo
I swear it can
And when the carnage removed
It lingers still haunting

Louder than the sobs
And the falling tears

Silence can echo
I swear it can
In the hearts of the ones we lost
The ones we didn’t know

After the accused go to trial
And in the moment when the gavel strikes

Silence can echo
I swear it can
That day back at school
With a few gone forever

When no one looks
Back at the empty desk

Silence can echo
Can you hear it?

Story Of A Girl

I’ll tell you a story
Of a girl so lost
She couldn’t find herself
And when she searched
It was in vain
For what she was
Was long gone
And all that was left
Was a broken soul
In need of love
She refused to take

I never meant to make you cry
No tears were meant to fall
My intentions were full of heart
But sometimes that’s just not enough

I never meant to make it bleed
No blood was meant to be shed
My intentions were full of heart
But sometimes that’s just not enough

So what do you do
When you’re all spent
And all you’ve got left
Isn’t even enough to wake
And what will you tell me
The morning after
When all your promises
Are dropped with those tears.

I never meant to make you leave
No bags were meant to be packed
My intentions were full of heart
But sometimes that’s just not enough

I never meant to make you break
No cracks were meant to grow
My intentions were full of heart
But sometimes that’s just not enough

So what do you do
When you’re all spent
And all you’ve got left
Isn’t enough to make you whole
And what will you tell me
The morning after
When all your whispers fade into the light
And all I can see is the truth

My intentions were full of heart
But sometimes that’s just not enough
Wish it was
But sometimes it’s just not enough

Burning Embers

The sparks fly up
While embers burn
I thought that they were angry
Thought that they wanted my blood
The many years of running
From the light of them
Afraid of their warmth
Afraid that it would burn
And only after you showed me otherwise
Only after you threw a white-hot coal my way
Did I learn otherwise
I learned that they only wanted to comfort
That their light was wondrous
And that together they cannot burn
Learned that I wanted them
Wanted their tingles all over me
And the weird glow that it gave me
That motivation I was lacking

I only hope that it gave you as much as it gave me.

Apologies

I would like to apologize for my lask few posts, I was kind of breaking down. All better now though, and hopefully my poems wont suck as bad as they did there.
