你的風

在這一且
每個字
我的愛
被風帶過
撒滿地
秋天葉
而我哭了
我的心
救不回
慢慢忘記
只知道
那空位
以前有你.

War of Words

Where did your words
Gain the power that they did
To hurt me, inside out,
Striking me down,
Bowling pins,
Perhaps you have been
Saving all your dark memories
And used it all in one attack on me,
Because I am the only one
To have gotten this close
That you mistook for some other enemy
Trying to invade your soil,
But I wasn't, I was simply there
Trying to understand you.
And thus I tried shooting back,
But I can't seem to hit the mark,
My words can't end the war,
And you kept going
With your artillery,
Never ceasing fire,
Bombing my heart,
Because all your care about
Is winning,
And as the smoke gather
Up around you
You lose sight of the purpose
But perhaps it's your 'foresight'
Because you never wanted
Anything more than someone
To put down, to kill
Inside and out
With your words.

Today's Rain

The sky is still so ever gray,
A two dimensional gray,
The clouds are scraped flat
An intangible ceiling
That rains down cold
That I feel in my bones, still.

Anchor

It's blame because you withhold it
From me for so long, then throw it in my face,
It's blame because I feel the need to defend myself.
You make me out to be a colder person than I really am,
Out of your love, I can only find negativity in myself
And that's not the way it's supposed to be.
Nothing you say makes any sense, except for your silence
Which tells greater truths than you ever will.
If you ever had the notion for salvaging,
You would not let your silence push me away,
And all the things you've ever read that I've written,
You only gleam its surface,
Just like the way you act and behave,
And I lost all my trust in trusting you.
All the sacrifices you made, I pitied,
But they are hard to swallow
Because if you had held me in such high-esteem,
You would not have treated me in those unkind ways;
They were just excuses to make me shed tears for you,
Tears I no longer know if you deserve.
You threw an anchor in my heart
And I once wished you'd stay,
But all I feel now is its weight
Sinking my spirit and my love,
And I can't remain this way
So I've got to sail away,
But I'll never forget the mark your anchor made.

Rapt

My thoughts are kites
Whose strings you hold
And you're running off
With them.
