Paths

Written from 12-10-11 to 12-19-11

Step by step
Day by night
Straight downhill
On pavement

Just cracked pavement
Streetlights blow out
One by one
Some shatter in the case

Others just go out
But still don't shine bright
Dark and open space
With turns left and right

With every step
Something from behind fades
But the option to turn back
Is nonexistent

In an effort to keep moving forward
Falling to the ground
Tears falling
Trying to forget the past

One look behind
Nothing is seen
Everything there
Is now gone

Turning forward again
Moving further into the dark
Becoming apart of the scene
Making this the present

Continuing to go ahead
Every single step forward
Is the reminder to forget
And making the past more painful

The present has now become the past
The past being gone
The future unknown and dark
Standing discontinues the process

Erasing and creating
Pointless
At a standstill
Past, Present, Future

Having a whole timeline
At one single point
Creates time to flow
And brings back thoughts

Memories of the past
Thoughts of the future
The present, though
Has nothing

The present has nothing to create
Nothing in motion
Nothing is nothing
Everything is nothing

If to take one step forward
Time will race
And crack
And all will be gone

One step back
Will pull every strand apart
From the nonexistent present and future
And nothing, even nothing, will ever exist

So now trapped
In one nonexistent moment
Nothing to say
Nowhere to go

One more look over
To see that darkness is
Darkness was and darkness will be
The time, or no time, for the rest of all

Window Pane

Written on 12-1-11

Tears falling

Heart breaking

Life has stopped

Time is eliminated

His words full of lies

Her mind full of faith

She believes and hopes

He speaks from thin air

The word "care" is used loosely

Unlike his grip on her soul

She thinks it's love

He knows it's not

Her mind is so lost

He being the mirrored map

She want to believe him so much

That she does

He doesn't realize what he does

To her heart, mind, and soul

But what he does know is this:

She will never leave my side

She stays by him through all

The pain and the laughter

From sunrise to set

The waning and waxing

He stay by her as well

But he doesn't see the pain, only laughter

No dark, but light

He sees her joy, she feels drowned

When the day comes

That she is so broken and lifeless

The day that she defines the living dead

She will have a gaze on her eyes, pale-faced

When that day comes

He will sit there and listen

He will hold her close in comfort

At least that's what she hopes

As she replays the memories

And the words they said

Her eyes tear up

And he is nowhere to be found

He wasn't there at that moment

The one moment she needed to be held

And told that it would be okay

He was not there

So she stood in the rain

For about two hours

So when people saw her

They wouldn't see the pain

He saw her and only saw rain

No tears, or pain

She was cold and hurt

He thought she was okay

If he had only known

She didn't stand there to be thought of as okay

She had come to say goodbye

But no words came out

She remembers that day

The pain she felt then

Was the pain she feels now

And she still hides it

She doesn't like that day

It kills her

Every second of that day

That day and one other

No one knows she's dead

They are blinded by her acts and scenes

She even blinds herself

Blinded and seeing at once

She stares for this reason

Stares and smiles

For she sees that this is a dream

And she wants to wake up

She knows that to wake up

She must fly far away

From the highest peak

To the lowest grounds

This flight will wake her up

And she can go on with her life

She doesn't believe this pain could ever be real

So it can be real, so she thinks

So she thinks of ways she can fly

Dreaming endlessly of waking up

To see the day that shines bright

The day where her pain goes away

She does realize that when she wakes up

The dream will be over and so will the people

But she will be where she belongs

Where she is happy

So from her bed she walks to the window

In her white gown

Still hooked up to the heartless monitor

Opening the window she looks down

She climbs onto the ledge

Pulling the tubes and needles from her body

Her family crying on the body on the bed

She jumps from her high peak to the low ground

The family ready for the declaration of death

They become speechless

The monitor starts to sound

Slow at first, but gets faster

Her eyes open and tears fill them

Everyone cries

She was awaken from the coma

Just from flying

She looks around but is saddened

She doesn't see him

Her love from the dream

Her love from life

The previous day he had died

Death from a broken soul and heart

They were going to pull the plug

And he would rather greet her on the other side

Then say goodbye from behind a glass wall

The family leaves the room to get her nurse

And she rises from the bed and walks to the window

She sees the boys in the reflection and says:

"Why can't I wake up?"

She then jumps out the window to become apart of the reflection

Both of them, together

As it was before

Before he broke her heart

And she slipped into comatose

Before he fell into depression

Because he lost his world

As she had hers taken

But now both worlds are together again

Two loves, one heart, worlds collided

No tears of pain, but sun and laughter.
