Month: May 2016

will you ever stop reminiscing about the past (how it wronged you) or the future?

i cast off layers of doubt (memories of failure) with a blade of acceptance. 

 the words of the future (time advances (never escaping) without me) can never stop you

from turning around to look (gazing endlessly) at what once was. 

cast off your ignorance (bliss) to let yourself finally feel freedom. 

(hide away) conquer existence 

to reveal identity (selfless)

spotlight, will you follow me to my new beginning?
chasing me to the nearest end.
i’ll never get away from you now.
my every move.
no glaring emissions of events past
present
future.

spotlight, will you ever give up on me?
turn away and never return.
leaving me alone in the dark.
helplessly still.
will you return to enlighten
illuminate
shine.

spotlight, will you ever forgive me?
letting my sins play out.
prying eyes view misfortune.
shamefully present.
will you continue my desire
living
dying.

spotlight, will you ever fault.

what about the present day?
you think so little of it now.
scouring memories of the past,
regretting decisions of youth.

what would you really do different?
you don’t know what you do now.
with ambition and naivety,
bound to make mistakes.

when will you stop and look ahead?
things are better now.
knowledge and experience,
make new mistakes – be foolish.

i was there that night.
i didn’t know if you remembered.
i just remember my empty bottle.
and your hands.

i was so smooth.
i didn’t feel rejuvenated.
i just left that to you.
and your skin.

i was confused.
i didn’t know where i was.
i just trusted you.
and your voice.

i was tired.
i didn’t close my eyes.
i just opened my mouth.
and your lips.

i was set.
i didn’t see it.
i just let it happen.
and you soared.
