Song of the Summer
I sat there
the piano kept playing.
the keys just not pressed down.
they said the chords sang their own song.
of twilight and gun barrels.
pointing them towards the stars.
and shooting round after round.
to a night that could very well fall down.
but those crystal chandeliers.
they mock my love.
and so do you.
and I'm lying to myself
for hours on end with a clock
that I covered in tape and pictures of you
and me
and other people
because I snap photos of other people
hoping to understand something about myself
Hoping that I'm not turning into the bloody wreck that you are,
that I don't share the same twisted
"U know you love it.
And u know you love me.
And when I do it."
I do.
"What?"
And it's an addiction of the most horrible root.
I long I could throw away and have someone else take it.
But you keep recurring.
And we keep on meeting again.
And ill be right back where I started.
Amazed by your beauty...
But to stupid to say.
"My beauty?"
Trapped in this cycle of love and hate.
"HATE?"
I tried stopping it.
Just breaching all ties with you ...eager to restart.
But it doesn't work
It never will.
And I am just accepting the fact that I am in love with you but too shy,
....to brainless to do a thing about it
Happy?
I admitted it
I am the orange blanket at the foot of your bed
I am every song inside your head
I am the moment where you sang to me,
But never again, will you sing to me...(again?)..
It hasn't snowed in weeks,
But you graced my dreamless sleep
And I saw you (and I saw you)..
I know that I'll never ever see you again..
I am the tired train at the rainy station
I am the perfect song without instrumentation
But maybe this is all a dream, the silent film with the breaking scream
If only you could remember how much you would mean to me..
I am the plans, were canceled out
I am white hope without a doubt
I'm writing, but I can't expect
the guilty sun sets
as my hands grip cold steel
barred windows shut out the world
and emprison my mind
the solemn walls close in
and my gaze shifts to empty picture frames
shadowed visions of time lost
they haunt my soul
the valentine falls from my hands
"your's always" drowned with tears
acid born anew in my eyes
corroding my very existence
the dark veil cloaks a hostile sky
i'm at the corner of misery and despair
a blunt dagger stabs me in the back
and the wind laughs as i lie bleeding on the road
the ominous clouds cry shameful tears
and the world takes shelter
left fazed and jaded
i drop my head
Open wounds
Healing from trees full of life
My roots are healthy and I'm lonely
Your leaves are turning
And I want you to show me
Show me if you'll do me a favor
Change both our lives
And hope for the better
And better now then never
I've done my part
Leaves change colors and fall
Autumn changes everything
Everything could change with my one call
My flowers are blooming,
Metaphors again take over
Let them
I want to watch all their faces when they hear the news
I want to end like something out of a fairytale
And you do too
I want you to relax and let nature run it's course
I want you
From now on to think
I'm taking my memories with me by AutumnsFallenSky, literature
Literature
I'm taking my memories with me
As I sit here, I'm not alone
boredom is setting in,
and you're not helping
you keep yourself amused
I just wish it was with me
but that's ok...
you never wanted me anyway
you're not the same anymore
the girl I loved...
she would never do this
so please just let me
keep her in my heart
let me, walk away
forgive me, for leaving this
allow me, these memories
forget me, because now...
I'm gone

bed linen for tissues
of course i can't sleep
my sheets are drenched
smelling of the beach
minus the sun and sand
i cry these nights
thinking of us
i can remember a time
when we would ride phone lines
and your sweet voice would fill my head
with sweet sonnets of satisfaction
and my heart raced
with every precious word
but now i'm simply left with dial tones
and static memories of your presence
it started so perfect
its downfall was calculated
measured and carried out
with heartbreaking brilliance
but there were signs
phone calls cut short
three little words
were going unreturned
but i am illiterate to these
blinded by inf
Take this breath away,
It's not worth it anymore.
You found me face down,
But to this ceiling there is no floor
Just a river of blood that runs
Away from an overlooked carcass
So far from forever,
Ashes scattered over a landscape,
But I was never there,
I saw the pages turn into six days remaining
A crimson-binding spine,
Crooked in October twilight.
And like an arson to my heart
I stood awake before falling planes
It was lying before the rows of unsaid nightmares
But a course runs backwards.
I pour into an empty confessional
And all those times,
No one was listening.

Our Sky is Burning Tonight
Seven-thousand miles high.
Among the clouds, with you, I run.
If this was my last,
It was the best
Night I've ever felt
This heart flood these veins and beat this fast...........
After the rain has past and the bitter nights long gone.
Now is all we have,
The heaven's raining song.
This is what I live for.
You are what I live for.
And dream to the clearing sky somehow.
You and I are all that matters now................
Your beauty says it all, as you said your last line,
And above the mist, glory rose and we lay frozen in time.
And woven into each others arms.
Letting the thought sink in.
Deep in our hearts,

Sunset Sky Suspended
Beckoned, reflection skyline,
Bleeding orange and crimson into the flaming, rising clouds.
Another night hand in hand.
Holding you from the wind.
Catching you as your heavenly wings spread & break.........
Running across the never-ending shore.
And you, free by my side.
My feet are burning a sunset red
And we capture it in the fleeing instant of the day's last light.
The sky along the horizon
And looming above our heads
Is bleeding darker into night.
Losing myself among the dunes,
Among the craters on this moon.
In your eyes, infinite skies,
Like the one above as I run and try to...
Catch a star that just happ

Forever Forsaking Romance
Here's to long walks & short lives
Wasted finding the perfect romance.
I felt love slip off this tongue,
but when it hit you, it was black with hate.
And any word I speak grows wings of the curse.
They rained intoxicated from the sky
As I poured fathomless vain tears upon the earth.
In dissembled hopes, it would weep for me
As I have spent so many black nights...
To holding your hand, and it crushing mine,
With the other, you tore out this heart
And left me writhing in defeat.
Cursed be your romance.
Cursed are my remains.
Through the romantic bliss of ignorance,
Everyday I feel the pain.

Forgetting I Once Held Alive
Staring out the window.
The morning has clouded my view of reality.
I can't remember what I look like.
This mirror has faded, the place I look is
Silent, my reflection is lost.
I have waited so long that I've forgot the way the dawn smelt,
I've forgotten how to open my eyes.
And see you setting the universe ablaze,
For my worthless gaze.
Please forget me, as I have lost these memories.
I looked towards the sky last night,
And tried to remember what yesterday was like.
It's been so long.
It's been so long since I've heard your voice.
But in the distance it lingers.
Consciously, i step out this door.

Explanations Fall Short
Now is not the time.
But never is the day you'll see through these eyes.
No, you only fall,
The first time,
Every time.
I tried to tell you,
But revelation unraveled through the afternoon.
It could have been better
If we could shift these minds out of the inertia we longed for.
Blinded by midday light & societies eyes.
Ask & lose yourself (in me).
I can't expect you to understand...
The heart is mended, but the wound is deep.
You tried to find yourself, but you only ruined me......
Depart this damage and leaves these thorns.
Walking away from this disaster, I don't believe in what you say.
For I believe in nothing anymore.....
Bullet holes and wounds and the most destructive start.
All you ever wanted was to burn your way
Into my heart........
Wallow in the misery, how pathetic is this self-pity.
For you, and anyone else, pushing you away,
And ruining myself...
So i raise my glass..
here's to long walks and short lives
Wasted finding the perfect romance.

Alight the Darkened Sky
It's not supposed to happen like this.
I could've never prepared for such a shattering blow.
To the chest, through the heart
With a rusty knife.
In the twilight,
The eight o'clock air,
I denied you this and you severed our love.
And I loathed this romance,
Driven down my throat.
So tired from screaming the truth,
So tired from you lying to me.
Yet you believe everything his forked-tongue could ever breathe.
And for this, I hate you.
And for the blow that hardened the ominous glow painted on the sky.
You kissed him.
And you loved it, so you did it again.
You loved it.
You love him, and you fester this sin.

Today marks a year that I swear was a lifetime.
You left, but you took my world with you.
So now I am alone,
My insides out of reach.
And thinking of you just let the void swell.
I felt myself bursting on the inside with my nothing at all.
This skull exploded because I want me back.
I tasted the bittersweet air,
Tainted with remorse.
And for a moment, I loved it.
I let hostility breed inside this mind
And my heart was black with silent self-deception.
You are gone,
And I am still waiting in the rain.
I am still waiting for the sun to shine into me.
Lonely, tired and denying your absence.
I am hollow without you
