My Job

Day

Plunging into sheer darkness

A night that reigns victory

Presented itself unbidden yet brazen

Miles and miles within my eyes

Covered by nothing but black

Pages and pages of ebony word

Accounting for each and every misty fallen

Anyone would have waver at the very thought

Of a night that comes and inhibits their homes for a decade

Light

Absence not felt nor seen

When the eyes gaze upon nothing

But rooms and rooms of solid dusk

Gleaming cold shivering through a century of evil

Fear overcoming every shred of warmth

Marking the end that couldn’t have come sooner

Devoured souls shrieking within dead shells

Let me vanish, evaporate in this glaring eternity

For I cease to exist in your presence

 

More Than One Way To Say Goodbye

There’s more than one way to say goodbye

Be it breaking or healing

Either taking along a beating heart

Or leaving a shattered one behind

To nurse its wound

Stitch by stitch, patch by patch

Fixating on a shadow that refuses to follow

A smile that shivers with insecurities

And a love that will just not stay

There’s more than one way to say goodbye

Be it an empty bed in the morning

Either leaving behind that familiar scent

Or giving that one short moment of joy

Just to realize that

Misunderstanding, misinterpretation

Is all that you’ve been lead to believe

A heart that wants to keep believing

Slowly weakens and losing faith

There’s more than one way to say goodbye

There’s more than one way to leave and go

There’s more than one way to loosen your grip

But there’s also many many ways

To not break my heart.
