Life-----

Bleak, dreading
Wake up calls at 4 AM
Nobody cares
You fend for yourself
Stuck in place like glue,
Yet shattered across
Never mended- a broken heart
All smiles, all fake
Everyone lies-
Including me
Searching for something
Reasons to live for
Time never stops
The world keeps moving as if you don't exist
Nothing changes-
One life is meaningless to another person
But to some, you are the world
Holding hands help you feel not alone
We are all alone
But life is what you make it
You do what you can to survive,
So live life, laugh your heart out, love the ones you're with.

Swallow

Three A.M. blinks on the clock
I lay staring at the crack above my head
The branch taps on my window
As the rain patters on the roof
I pull on my coat for a walk
I knew I couldn't leave my thoughts unsaid
I headed to the park to settle my mind
The swift feel of the swings allows my body to relax
I knew I needed to talk
I felt like I was in over my head
I have to leave the past behind
The rain continued to splatter down my face
As the tears came one by one
The idle swinging slowly reached to a stop
A shiver run up my spine
There's no feeling that can replace the embrace
Sometimes it takes a thousand tries to finally have won
But secrets always creep out
No matter how hard you try
Truth always finds a way
A silhouette stands by the side
Only a memory can define the shadow that awaits
They have come out to play
I wait for the darkness to swallow me whole
The swings begin to swing alone
Leaves dance at my feet
One last look at the moon
And I'm blanketed with the dark for eternity.
