some of these are trash, some are kinda good, i just thought i'd dump them all here for no particular reason. i guess i haven't really shared any of this stuff with you guys, let alone anyone else really. some of these were written like two years apart, so there's some very different iterations of my mind writing these. sorry for the emo ones lol
charles[spoiler]both just young when we met
he grew up much faster than me
we've seen both the good and the bad
that's what happens when you're family
he would pick one fight too many
we always said he had his back
the main in white said he would be alright
he always returned for a second attack
there's a new hero in town
and he lives on manchester road
his brother lives on the ground
and his sister's in the clouds
he came to me with fights and love
this one's for charles
it came as such a monumental shock
he was the age all rock stars die
we all had one last day
i wanted more than one last day
he went peacefully without protest
i wish they got to see their boy
he lived a happy life without regret
only ever a bundle of joy
your hero's gone to sleep
he'll always be on manchester road
he's joined his brother in the ground
his sister's still in the clouds
he came to me with fights and love
towards the end of his life, he became a wreck
they say the boy was born noose 'round the neck
what do you do
when your best friend's gone for good
i think i'll sleep it off
just like he would[/spoiler]
blind[spoiler]a blur in the distance
can't see very far
in spite of my persistence
i can't tell what you are
don't forget what i was
cause i might lose my mind
consistently nervous
i'm slowly going blind
say goodbye to my kin
i hope you go on safe
farewell to your soft grin
i said i would be brave
but it gets hard
my eyes are giving in
my eyes can't see you smile
my eyes can't face the sin
and they're slowly giving up[/spoiler]
white lines[spoiler]white lines
bloodshot eyes
broken sighs
out of time
still in your prime
never works the first time
just a flip of a dime
if you're so inclined
we've never tasted happiness
not for lack of trying
you can close your door and lock me out
but i still hear you crying
white lines
bloodshot eyes
pins and needles down the spine
i can see through your disguise
gastric butterflies
demons exercise
shoulders heave high
not saying goodbye
we've never tasted happiness
god knows we were trying
you can close your door and lock me out
i'll always hear you crying
we've cut the cord and said our prayers
but destiny still blankly stares
at you
at me[/spoiler]
nowhere[spoiler]passing through the house you shared
marble walls, empty halls
lost attempts at erasing pasts
thought you knew him better
you dragged him on the pop-singed dancefloor
marble walls, disco balls
you knew he'd sipped the devil's water
but you let him kiss you under the dancing lights
there's a beauty deep inside you
you know he longs to meet her
but for all the poor boy knows
pain's kiss is much sweeter
a black gloss dress and hypnotic eyes
time made a local concession
some things aren't worth a memory
but that's no way to heal
there's nowhere else to go
he doesn't want to go
there's nowhere else to go
you know you shouldn't go[/spoiler]
tomorrow[spoiler]can't blame you for making me wait
after all, our time is borrowed
i'm tired of letting destiny dictate
but i guess i'll find you tomorrow
no point breathing this air
the atmosphere is made of sorrow
your absence is some kind of nightmare
i guess we'll meet some time tomorrow[/spoiler]
scar[spoiler]a week or two of happiness
until the muses have their way
a quest to stay anonymous
hidden truths you'll never say
a seductress' pair of eyes
and she won't ever run away
conspiring your demise
armed forces gone astray[/spoiler]
and here's some haikus, little snippets or just couplets that i haven't used yet :)
[spoiler]when the game is done
the kings, the queens and the pawns
all in the same box
to avoid conflict
i force myself to recall
that i once loved you
lost within her eyes
i seem to be forgetting
the devil within
a world in greyscale
morals are just conventions
good, bad, all just words
forever asleep
breaking away from the earth
we've always been dead
(that's it for haiku)
they'll see it's a phase
but boy, i know you better
don't be a stranger, or do
this one's on you
it's always five o'clock somewhere
but nobody wants to drink with me
she said 'i love you'
but i loved smooth jazz and money and not her
woe is not me
it is you
they shared a midnight bliss in the pouring rains
there's a tinge of britain in the way she speaks
his harmonies grew ever dissonant
and you were looking for a cadence
you embarrass me
can you find a new brother[/spoiler]
thanks for reading, if you did.
thank you
Ooh I like your writing, sir. ;] I'm a sucker for slick rhymes~
thank you
