Ever

Ever
i were on your wind
a flyer gliding
an atom warming

the call
it will never end
to take sides
to choose a friend

smile
a vile sign of an empty mind
an abuser's crime -
would you look at the time?

dive
as the lies
and the truths
pass through you.

Flicker

When i was on fire
i burned for you

and once ashen,
i would, in a certain fashion,
rekindle the flame
so as to never fade,
to forever
flicker
in your
wild wind,

to be the same.

Immortal

Had i love for you
at one point
i would not let you go

seen i your face in moonlight
glow, grow, to take on
an extraordinary form

you were god to worship
you were so much more than
the flesh that keeps us here
you were mine

and a rhythm now suggests
its okay to let it go
it will take on a new life
express itself in a new way

but i cannot sense the loneliness
i have become
it feels like home
numb
home
run
gone
dumb

a part of nothing
cannot ever truly merge
we cannot feel the same
we will always experience
in our own way
and it’s a shame

if you could only see through mine eyes
if you could only sense with my soul
know what i know
i think you might find
that each of us is truly a world
unto ourselves,
utterly alone

had i love for you
i was immortal.

Sociopath

It was in the way i promised i loved her
then departed forever

and also in the way i ran from family
without so much as a glance back

and even moreso in the way i shunned a friend
throwing away years of brotherly love

and it will be there in the way i leave you
when i perceive you’ve turned against me
as you did today.
