Piper Brown

Your name is one I can hardly bear to speak
my loyalty to you never reaching its peak
My heart longing to bring you joy
my friendship is yours, my sily silly boy
...

the monster inside is calling my name
whispering to me that i am to blame
the day drawing near and almost upon
until the time where he will be gone
...

The ocean rages, tossing turning violent
Green specks thrown carelessly
Like an artist dropping a paint brush
White clouds circle in a lazy circle
...

the fear of the loss gripping my mind
this feeling is not like the others of its kind
my best friend, the center, of this bound pain
though my mind knows this is for his gain
...

Scarred heart
Burnt heart
Hollow heart
Rid of all promises,
...

I watch as you walk coldly by
Ice radiates off your posture
The tilt of your shoulder increases
My heart drops to the floor
...

There is a demon in the center of my chest
scratching it's way out, flying its nest
the darkness engulfs my heart and soul
tearing through the walls, breaking a hole
...

the night is, my love, is my time to shine
the darkness, my cloak, as to others of my kind
no one there to judge, condemn, to scream
a time to be me, no fault by others to be seen
...

Opening the door, my heart in my throat
I see you sitting perfectly, waiting
Forcing my legs to walk by you
Mumbling a short, “stay there.”
...

Walking alone
This life is not mine
Things flowing past me
I do not recognize
...

Waking up one morning
I bury my face in my pillow
Glancing at the clock
It yells at me “Borderline late! ”
...

Sitting in that church chair
She sits as one not alive
Her mind wandering not there
I watch her floating high above
...

The biting wind whips around me
I shiver and shift
Waiting, waiting, waiting
The minutes tick by, cold
...

Cruelty, our words harsh, unforgiving
“What’s on your mind? ” I say
Silence then “Nothing” my mind screams, “Lie! ”
Hurt flashes, my heart growing cold, icy
...

It feels as if my mind is torn
Halfway between black and white
Between wanting you
And not hurting you. She says
...
