The Choice

Hugging myself, I gaze out over the frozen wasteland. Winds whistles over the blinding white of snow as it carries new flakes down to the frozen desert of the earth. I can barely open my eye due to the extreme chilling rushing over my bones. You have trapped me here, in this twisted version of hell. The wind picks up, and sends me tumbling down a mountain of snow, which had not been there a second ago. This place is a death trap.
I reach out to you, but you turn and walk away, abandoning me. Your heart is cold. I want to help you, to heal you of your wounds, but you decline. You are dying...

Days, weeks, months and years
I’m still missing you, but I’ve stopped shedding tears
I’m passed the stage, where crying could ease my pain
I know you can’t come back, but your memory remains

So, take your hands out of my chest
‘Cause they’re doing their very best
To ruin me

And it’s a heartbreaking feeling
And I can’t stop reeling
This time I won’t make it out alive
And it’s like you’re still with me
But you’re never really
This time they can bury me alive

Getting up, getting to work
Going through the motions, like I’m fucking numb
Pretend I’m fine, but if you could read my mind...

so, here are a couple more old poems i dug up and decided to post. the first is one that came out of a period of intense creativity (ah if only i had the time nowadays). the second was a creative writing assignment that i never got around to finishing, so i apologize if the end is a bit abrupt. once again, any feedback is greatly appreciated :).

stargazing

i dream in broad daylight
of an old front porch swing
where i sit cradling my guitar
singing you a song
while your paintbrush splashes sunbeams
across my upturned face

paint drips
in rainbow rivulets
down your sun-kissed skin
your eyes are filled with...
