dead thoughts and fever dreams
tarnished life bears no more meaning
parasite to peers and loved ones
invisible hope turned magnificent waste
these hands crushed and cracking
holding your lifeless body
begging for one last glimpse
lie awake at night wondering why
who could let their children suffer like this
who could let their children succumb to death
thrive under false hope
dread mistaken as a sign
complacent as long as they get to heaven

hark!
the time we spent conveying an end
waiting for days of grace and virtue
weep!
no solace in return, my eyes sewn shut
denying any sense of reasoning
frail!
shallow in his breath, missing all the hints
wishing you could tell me what was wrong
death!
he’s coming for us all, but why so unannounced
waiting for a timeless end
save yourself friend
please!
i’m begging you to stay, you deserve to be at peace
but how could i be so selfish
why!
must you leave so soon, how can i bare this room
nothing in my head to live without you
i can still hear your footsteps creeping in
i can still feel your heartbeat against my chest
everything goes away, except for this hole in my head
but i’m still here, lost in these memories of you
everything goes away, except for this hole in my head
but i’m still here, reluctantly
this life of anguish, tortured and beaten
my mind a prison, wish i could reset
all loved ones dead, gone
save yourself, false hope
dead and gone

so what does it take to make this weight feel
like nothing at all?
subdue
oh how frail it is, these last few breaths
silence
trapped once again, bottomless hole
drown
i can’t bare myself, so pitifully lost without you
lost myself, i only see black
melancholic anger, rationality disconnect
writhe in pain, suffer in times of peace
lucid dreams, still with me
what a cruel twist of fate
thoughts of regret
what more could have been said?
no clear communication
unfathomable diction
if there was
just one more thing i could say to you
it would be
how much i fucking love you

is it kindness
compassion
empathy
i think it’s a sham
too much reliance on one another for happiness
what happens when it’s stripped from our hands?
left wondering
what happens when all we’ve grown to love
all things we’ve made routines for
vanquish
how do we bare the suns shine
struggle every day
to be better than i was
see loved ones suffering
to watch them die
to bury them in the ground
flowers will rise from your grave
but just like you
they’ll wither away

i can’t seem to understand
the things that have been happening lately
i can’t shake this cloud that looms over me
the weight of everything
stuck in the past
clinging to these feeble memories
please tell me how to move on
i am a frail man, i fear change
is this acceptance
i fear it’s true
there is no closure, there is no one
who understands me like you
