What does one stand to lose, falling into tides where they must choose?When the tests of our youth are more than enough to struggle through...How does one find there way within such a world? A dangerous place; one far from truth.To act and to fail;That'll leave you with nothing.To wait and to gain; Oh, that'll … Continue reading Haunted
To be afflicted by heartbreak's curse.To be dead or left on the wayside, there is nothing worse. Washing into these tides, solemn with regret,Wishing I had not put my pride to the test.There is nothing more to say.What ever happened to us that day? I was once the object of your affection, Now, I'm simply … Continue reading What I Could Not See
Introspection...Staring into my own reflection,I don't think I've ever felt so lost.My mind obsessing over every loss.The cost of my ambition,The sacrifice of my life's position.What is it that I seek?Is it power or something meek?Finding the words to speak is in no way easy.Either way, no one understands me.I've lost so much,Friends, family, love … Continue reading Introspection

There’s something I must come to terms with,A grisly fate I can’t escape.It’s hard accepting feelings I can’t quell.These works of a dangerous spell. There isn’t much I can deny.I know exactly where my heart does lie.But coming to terms with this dark truth;Is this something I should do?Because when I look into your eyes, … Continue reading Consequences of Love
There was once a time where I felt free;When I was climbing towards this awesome peak.The world was bright as I moved closer, towards this light.My future had never seemed so right. But then something changed;And I felt this sting of something strange,Of something I could not take, the pain of my own heartbreak. Take … Continue reading Take Me Back
I lost a piece of myself,Searching for something nearby.I lost a part of who I was,Looking for something by my side. I wallowed in the Darkness,Along an obscured path.Malign from the blindside,I denied the comfort of the Light. I let the Darkness invade my mind.And now, the Light has left me;I’m lost in a space … Continue reading A Loss of Self
