Life
Hope starts to fade
Light is eaten by dark
My dreams seem to dissolve
Eaten by nothingness
Fear is nearby
Silent and waiting
Drowning out my thoughts
Silencing my aspirations
Thinking in the dark
Thoughts turn to action
Dreams creep up on despair
Silent and swift
Hope eats away at fear
Hungry and vengeful
Light fights off dark
Blindingly powerful
Actions turn to routine
Routine breaks down
Dark eats away at light
The cycle begins again...

Freedom
Freedom
I’ve got you,
And you’ve got me.
At least that’s what I thought,
But now I see.
You’ve let go
And I’ve been set free.
I’m lost in the silence,
Learning who I’m meant to be.
Drifting through time,
Waiting to feel.
What its like to be alone,
Wondering when this will feel real.
Searching for the answers,
Finding nothing but pain.
Looking for the clues,
But I don’t know what I’ll gain.
Pushed into the silence,
Its time to be me.
I’m standing alone,
Its time to gain my own identity.
I’ve got you,
And you’ve got me.
At least that’s what I thought,
But now I see.
You’ve let go
And I’ve been set free.
I’m lost in the silence,
Learning who I’m meant to be.
Drifting through time,
Waiting to feel.
What its like to be alone,
Wondering when this will feel real.
Searching for the answers,
Finding nothing but pain.
Looking for the clues,
But I don’t know what I’ll gain.
Pushed into the silence,
Its time to be me.
I’m standing alone,
Its time to gain my own identity.
Its All You
Its All You
Jolted by fear,
holted by intimidation
i wait here for you
i wait to hear my name
this moment frozen in time
i stand stunned under the stars
praying to feel fine
praying eventually you will be mine
the smile on your face
the shine in your eye
the two things to show your kind
the two things that will keep you on my mind
you hold my hand
you kiss my cheek
these feelings i have i hope their true
these feelings i wish that i have for you
life feels so different without anyone there
my mind needs someone mentally by my side
i wait for you to join me here
i wait for you although you're my biggest fear
as scared as i am i know the truth
taking a risk with you is all i can do
i walk alone thinking of you
i walk alone wising i was alone with you.

Honesty
Honesty
I don't care what you say
I don't care what you feel
I don't care how it hurts
I just don't care cause that wasn't real
You pushed me to the edge
And now I've fallen off
Floating through the sky
Thinking is that all you've got
You silenced me when you left
And I was heart broken
But now I'm back for more
And not going to be outspoken
That was how it was
And this is how it's now
You changed as a person
But to be truly honest, I'm a lot happier now
Life is never complete
It's a lesson I have learnt
I must enjoy my life right now
Because right now it's all I've got.
I don't care what you say

Memories
...Memories...
Sitting on my bed
Its dark at night
Thinking of her
And all the things we did right
These memories come through
Painfully clear
Its everything we've done
Everything I've held dear
My mind is clouded, dark and numb
Not being with you
It was my greatest fear
Now that its happened I don't know what to do
I smile at the world
Keeping a happy face
Hide behind my mask
Hope no one will see my disgrace
These mental scars
They take years to heal
Cut deep through my mind
Taking only moments to feel
People speak of the future
It seems so near
If only I could move forward
Forgetting the events of this year
Talk of moving on
It seems so right
But with these memories
They hold on tight...

Screaming Memories
Screaming Memories
Screaming to get out
I hear myself cry
Shut it up tonight
Ill let this one slip by
Emotions fueled by memories
Haunt me in my mind
Am I the only one to feel this
Can I be the only of my kind
Bury them deep inside
As a man should do
Some say this should help
Although they don't have a clue
Poetry at its simplest
That is what I write
Feeling my emotions
Is something I don't like...

Life
This is my first poem in a long time. it was written when my relationship at the time was breaking down. only to end a few days after it was written.
Life
Hope starts to fade
Light is eaten by dark
My dreams seem to dissolve
Eaten by nothingness
Fear is nearby
Silent and waiting
Drowning out my thoughts
Silencing my aspirations
Thinking in the dark
Thoughts turn to action
Dreams creep up on despair
Silent and swift
Hope eats away at fear
Hungry and vengeful
Light fights off dark
Blindingly powerful
Actions turn to routine
Routine breaks down
Dark eats away at light
The cycle begins again...
