There’s No Vision In The Dark
Alone in the dark I sit, awaiting your effervescent light. Memories of your smile bring me happiness, then I open my eyes to nothing again. Without your bright, elegant distractions I sit forced to remind myself of my sins, therefore again the sadness begins. I remind myself daily, blaming myself for what I have lost, or was it something I never really had?
Where are you? I’d rather be blinded by your light than have clear vision in my own darkness. Now I sleep with my eyes wide open because it’s too dark to tell when they’re closed. I want you…I need you…we lit up the world when we were together…and then I feel the tap on my shoulder, I turn. Nothing…until a whisper in my ear says “We.” With that reminder I reached into my pocket, pulling out an imaginary object. Closing my eyes only to re-open them again, and there you sat, right next to me, in that now lit darkness. “Our” lights becoming one. A single teardrop trickled down my cheek as I smiled and said “You never left…” From then on I swore to never forget my own light, that I am beautiful.
Look At Me Now (Paint Edition)
A Past’s Deceit
Sad and depressed,
A young woman, with a lot of shit on her chest,
She’s kept her mouth shut and her claws suppresed,
Tired of the tears and heartache caused by her ex.
Lonely and ashamed,
A young man, keeps a smile on his face to appear sane,
He’s kept his lips sealed and his actions tamed,
Tired of the lies and betrayals of his dame.
Their fates meet,
Both victims of a heart’s retreat,
Neither able to compete,
With the pain caused by a past’s deceit.
