One More Time

Sitting, knees to chest,

Tears falling on my vest.

Screams filling from the hall

Oh how far we had to fall.


The love was there,

But know we don’t know where.

My charming love,

There was a time where i was enough.


As i sit and stare,

And the hall lights flare

I wipe my bloody lip,

And decide we need a flip.


One last chance,

We only need our romance.

But, only one more time,

Or its the end of th...

A Plight With a Dense Malady

Crawling through the tidings of an ill omen, I scry a better landscape


Haunted by trials of my own imagination

I plod hither and thither


Seeking a glimmering light within the cages of my soul

I divine a trembling glow far off

Or rather nearer and clearer than before


I swear off chemical resolutions

But don’t doubt that I will stumble again

“I don’t regret the poison that set me free”

B...

Last chance for you to answer

She kept talking and talking but what she was saying was not the truth.

I growled inwardly, "Kelsie! You have one last chance to tell me what you were doing with him?" She froze and I realized this wasn't the girl I dated, this wasn't the girl that promised we would be forever unless... She never loved me at all. She was just using me. I closed my eyes, the pain was effecting me.

"Get out." I kn...

No more chances.

(Was in my feelings and ended up writing this 😭—Also, not a poem but a short story)


Should I feel relieved, or should I drown in sorrow?


You were mine, yet you felt like a ghost—always near, never close, a presence just beyond reach. We were stitched together in hellos and goodbyes, and yet, those three words were always a tether, a quiet salvation.


I love you.


And I did. I loved you like ...

Last Chance

I always give one last chance

But one turns into a dozen

You promised to change

I promised to not take you back


While l thinking of you

You was thinking of being in someone else's bed

You convince me that you love me

I try to convince myself it's true


All l wanted was a happy ending

All you wanted was her

So yes l will give you one last chance

One last chance to leave...

Our Last Dance

You gentle words

Turned harsh

I never thought

Why?

Why would you

Say such a thing

Cutting me

With all your words

So tonight

I’ll get my spade

Dig our grave

You know it’s time

So wipe your tears

Darling

It’s time

Even though you made your promises

It’s hopeless

So let’s have our last dance

Let us die

Cause this is our last night

So look me in the eyes

As we cry

Cause it’s our last night

This is ov...

Before The Corruption Filled Your Body

I saw potential from the day we met

But you threw it away for a glass bottle

With a putrid smell, a burning taste

It’s swallowed your mind whole

Took your organs captive, slowly destroying them

The last straw was when you bruised my jaw

We know it wasn’t an accident

I didn’t fall, you tried to “whack some sense into me”

So that was it!!

I’m tired of the misery and injuries

Now you won’t see me ...

Last Chance

Back against the wall,

down on your luck and nowhere

to turn, rise again...

Last Dance

Last chance

Last dance

Love that feeling you get

Whenever just you see it.

Love him forever

Not an option

When he is your soulmate.

And your are his reason

I just hope it’s not just for a season

Our bond is strong

We can write a song...

Doomed

We've tried everything

but all to no avail here

in last chance saloons?...
