Suicide 06/14/2010
 
My hand begins to tremble

As my finger starts to squeeze

The barrels to my brow now

As I rest upon my knees

Tears slowly seeping from the corners

Of my eyes though unable to

Openly cry. Throat dry

Because I can’t control the war that rages

On inside that which is I

Take a shallow breath, release a sigh

As the hammer falls and the bullet fly’s

Ah, the pointlessness of suicide.

 
Trail of despair 03/27/2010
 
Living in a dream land

Realities become too much of a test

Longing for freedom

But none is found until the eternal rest

Smoke fills the sky

From the lungs of all ages

Damaged is hope

It’s burning like brittle pages

As our vision becomes blurred

Because we choose not to see

Tinted has become everything

Once held sacred by you and me

So line up for the slaughter

Buy your tickets now

No longer a point to be made

By questioning how

One too many steps have already been taken

Down the dark staircase toward our end

And there’s no backtracking

When the devil’s called you friend

And nothing at all can be done

When it’ll all be over soon

There’s no Jake with his bean stalk

There’s no reaching for the moon

 
Alas 05/24/2009
 

Long I have fought,

Knowing I could never win

Tainted with too much passion

And sin

Though I remain hopeful,

Heart always true

Living in daydreams of

Me and you.

But alas it’s all for nothing

You’ll never be mine

Because an old copper penny

Has no place with a shinny new dime.

 
 

The summer lingers on, yearning

As the wind sighs, blowing country grass to and fro

The sun shines from up above,

As clouds cast their shadows upon the world below

And the cycle continues moving slowly

So willing eye’s can see, embrace life, every breath

And its beauty

For if not you’ll wake one day filled with regret

At having never tried, at having never met

-life and all it’s wonders, life so wild and free,

And above all else you’ll remain forever blind

To the knowledge of me.
