a mind discarded
Tag: poetry
stare through silence
belonging together
where we belong
bringing the past together
determine emotional split screen
“madness like focused seconds”
faces caught in the window
borrow these papers screening madness
focused to the past
drive faster and faster
reaching tomorrow
choose damage
choose introspections
shatter the voices beyond inscription
pushing value numb
push it past
push it through
a broken glass
burning dreams like faces
climb past the gates
Voices pressing me further through a world I can’t climb past the gates
Transpiring the ghost burning in my heart
Aching and damaged
Heartbeat…heartbreak…
Hearbeat….heartbreak…
Call through the tunnels decaying freedom ahead
Eyes stare through the violent tears
Walk towards the guidepost and they push past transpired dreams
When the sun damages every emotion aching to discard the future
Mistakes drowning through the turmoil
To climb the stairs towards heaven but they tear me apart
Watching the flames burn deeper and deeper
Skin pricked with visions silenced by the fear in my eyes
To walk the streets before they pull me through faces traced with rage
Drowning deeper and deeper
Conversations losing reality locked down through a voice
Breaking my pride apart
When everything feels wrong without you
To hear your voice shredding windows pushing me to escape
“stand in the form of Christ”
I’ve heard a hundred hours breaking from the inside
crushing a choice left far behind
i tried to understand the future
lay still across the sky
drop apart every word of regret
still i stand still as a witness to God
trapped at the table where my voice is discarded
but still I can’t forgive myself
ask for absolution to stand in the form of Christ
to be my guide into the future
when the disciples burn the candles
look towards the sky
are you every dream in my hand?
beyond every inscription from Heaven
we walk to stand still
children lost in the parade
every innocence pinned deep in value
to ascertain the turmoil written in my eyes
to glance at the table towards perfection
did I burn my prize too hard?
stories hidden with too much truth
when lies can’t be hidden in the dark
I can’t forget my mistakes
if they shine the light from heaven
will you ever listen?
“press a million doors open”
are we close to getting up
are we close to burning out from the inside
take a breath
I have found an answer inside your eyes
Break these lines tearing us apart
Capture my heart before it’s too late
Run away into the point where everything matters at once
Have you got inside my head
Have you turned me upside-down?
Did I lose grip with everything that mattered?
Did I forget how to live?
Did I forget how to breathe?
Sit up against the burning sky
Stand up from a million points of light
Are you the one inside my head?
Are you the one that got away?
Are you the one running back and forth through my dreams?
Wake up against a beating heart
Is it too late to claim my sanity?
Are we too tired to remember our names?
Are we too tired to dream into the future
Waiting outside in the pouring rain
Waiting outside with a burning instinct
Press a million doors open with your eyes
Shattered Mind
