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...
