I just cannot…
Words escape me, and my heart splits, and one half slides to the floor.
Remember when I made you smile? No… that won’t work.
I smeared away that smile like ruined lipstick.
Her laughter echoes in the remnants of my heart.
The equilibrium has been achieved. The heightening of emotions to the point where they all drown each other out.
Cancel each other out.
Now, all that is left is this numbing silence.
This blankness. Nothing.
The passion, a thing I was known for. Gone.
They sure picked the right poison.
I am fading.
What happened to all the color?
The vibrancy?
What is the point?
The pain…
That sweet and delicate feeling.
That one thing I know that tells me that I am still alive… has become numb.
Nothing remains.
Am I alive?
Am I just an empty shell?
Drained of life and vitality and magic?
We are at that point of liminality again.
The wind rustling through The Willow Tree.
The sun’s brightness blinds and causes the eyes to bleed with its revealing light.
The moon’s softness soothes the wounds from the harshness of the day.
Between light and dark.
Between life and death.
Between raindrops.
Where everything begins and unravels.
This is where I can be found.

Discordant Soliloquy
Chase Tomorrow
I say take a moving forward approach
and don’t let the events of yesterday
have that much power over you.
You are amazing and wonderful.
Don’t forget that.
Moments.
That is all that yesterday is.
A series of moments, now memories.
They are now ephemeral.
Trying to hold onto them will do more harm than good.
They no longer provide any sustenance.
The past is the stuff of memories.
You cannot feast on ashes or smoke.
Move forward and try to chase tomorrow.
There Was a Time
There was a time
when I felt connected to this world.
There was a time
when my heart sang
because of my dreams
and the hopes I had.
Now, I feel I am broken and lost…
adrift among a sea of emotions,
bereft of the things which made me whole.
I question whether I should fade away
like the forgotten and lost gods of long ago.
Our Story…
Sleep well my dear and may your dreams
take you to where I reside
deep within the Opulent Hall of Dreams
You will see I did not leave our love behind
Please, take my hand and fly with me…
This is our story…
Yours and mine.
When I think of you…
Many thoughts come to mind…
Of possibilities
and thoughts of what could have been
and what could be…
To taste your lips
and to touch your flesh…
To hear you speak
and to feel your breath…
Whisper those words to me
and tell me your dreams
