You may all consider yourselves warned.
Back on the Plaza, I used to expose everyone to my hideous, awful poetry. And I need to write it right now, so whoever's still reading can just bear it.
I'm sorry.
~~~~~~~~~~
Kalen
I'll never give up.
You can cut me with knives
Burn me with fire
Drown me in a thousand oceans
But I won't yield.
I'll never give in
If you curse my name
Tear me down from the shadows
Destroy all I have to live for
I still won't lose
Never...
If you tell me you love me
Send my mind into the blessed, chaotic depths
Whisper sweet nothings
And betray me...
Every man has a breaking point.
Sometimes, there's nothing left to do
But give up.
~~~~~~~~~~
Lost Springtimes
All it takes it one word,
And all my thoughts scatter
Like a million leaves in the wind.
How did I get here?
I walked with you all the way
And the grass was cool under our feet
The view was resplendant before us
Only a moment ago
Wasn't it?
But it's gone now.
You disappeared, and took with you
All the beauty of life
Leaving me in the ruins of winter
If I wait, surely spring will come again
Life will rise from nothing,
And I'll be able to see your smile
Hear your shimmering laugh
And know they're for me
So I wait for the spring.
Spring comes, and brings with it nothing.
Summer passes, then fall, and another winter
And another empty spring
Around me, the world remains empty
A crumbling ruin falling farther into darkness
I am an island in the middle of it all
Only ocean surrounds me, cold and harsh
And a thousand springs will not change that.
Without you, there is no spring.
