Week 1

it's been a week
feels like a year
since you have
left me here.

you've gone away
i wish you'd stayed
i wonder what
i could say.

i couldn't lie
i'd rather die
than lie until
i say good-bye.


i know that you are in pain
i feel it again and again
every day feels
like the rain.

i miss you so
why did you go?
i never meant
to be your foe.

Things I Never Told Him

i never told him how much i care

losing our friendship, i just couldn’t bear

i never explained the many things

that push me away, every day

there’s confusion inside me

but it is rightfully so

that he got sick of it and had to go.

i never revealed the secrets inside

that tear me apart, making me want to hide

it’s not you, it’s me

i mean it. no, really.

i’m falling apart

i’m lost in the dark

i need him back here

right beside me.

i know he is mad

and oh, so, so sad

but these are the things i’ll never say

now that he has gone away.

In honor of my best friend. Missing you. 

Rising

raised from perdition,
with a heavenly vision;

a chance to receive a holy grace,
or fall, an angel, down from space;

granted the choice to save us all,
or with us perish as we fall;

a love so great to erase the pain,
or memories so deep- our souls they reign;

beauty and peace? idealist views,
hatred and anger: they make nightly news;

surrender yourself to your broken fate,
there's no time to lose, no time to wait.
