Clasping

Oh God please tell me you’re invested
That the words you’ve said are trusted
And the light in your eyes was not reflecting
Transmitting MY glow when they found me smiling
Show me the life I’ve diluted was not in vain
Authenticate that your feelings will remain
For when I heard your empty voice
My heart whispered “so wrong your choice”
Your inconsistent frame of mind
Is demanding my feelings to run and hide
My skin is parched for an embrace
Don’t let this chance fall from grace
If my grip for you I ease
Never again will you touch my sleeve

Salvation

As the venom poured out of my mouth
I watched its fumes enter your body
I watched it reach your heart
It covered your soul and stole your strength
Your body quivered from the sudden attack
The guilt exploded in my heart
Releasing through my eyes
Guilty for my weary heart couldn't ingest the poison
Guilty for choosing to save
My drowning soul
My rusting heart
My dying life
Where were you when I
Screamed, cried, begged and pleaded
As my smile
My light
My love
Quickly faded?

Consequence

Stepping on the world below
As my fingertips reach for
the warmth
The light
The life
Of the sun
Hungrily needing to feed my soul
Desperately wanting to melt the ice that shields my heart
Selfishly fighting to fulfill my desires
Crushing my world with the weight of my dreams
Blinding them with the dirt from my feet
Marking them with the negligence of my steps
As the sun moves further and further out of reach
I grow tired of
Dreaming
Hoping
Believing
That the sun will meet my needs
