'Darkness'

Darkness falls,
bringing with it
a world
not of smell, or sight,
or touch -
but sound.

The taptap of my shoes
running on
the wet footpath
and the falling
of my tears
echo for miles
in this world.

In this world,
the trees sigh
as they turn
deep in slumber
and the lone frog
sings its sad song
to the marshes,
harmony to my heart.

I belong here,
like them,
like you.
In this world,
where the rain blankets the
softly sleeping mountains
and my bleeding soul.

But long after you are gone,
I will remain.
Locked in a world
where light spirals
into sound.

'Daybreak'

mauve on cream, red on white.
please help me get through this night.
Sadness falling, thick and fast
Unacknowledged, hours past
I understand: it could not be
but all the faults I see in me
convince me that I am not strong
I didn't think I'd last this long
But as I nurse these broken wings
something deep within me sings
My pain its beauty, not all gone
it's all you ever frowned upon
Dark drops of anger stain, sink in
I know now I will never win
But just like night fades into day
maybe my pain will go away.

Zero

I am your zero

I’m nothing to you

You’re leaving me

Your love was never true



Let’s just be friends

You implied, fainting a smile

But I can’t be your friend

And live in denial



Denial of my love

And of my broken heart

I took down my pictures of you

And that was just the start



I can’t stand to be around you

It’s causing me pain

If you’d never left

I’d have gone insane



I am your zero

I was in love

I tried to make you happy

But it wasn’t enough



You had to have it all

You wanted more

Why’d you do this?

You didn’t love me you ---!



My blood falls

With every word you said

My mother did the same thing

And now my father’s dead



This knife represents

Your deadly sharp tongue

I almost hung myself

So I could be done



I am your zero

I hope you had fun

The next time I hurt myself

I’ll use a gun
