.

You take my loved ones away
You could do it any time, any day
Leaving a pain in my heart
You make the breath of life depart


You make the body decay
Their presence you cannot take away
You will make the great fall
You will take us all


You tear lives apart
Always breaking a heart
Eventually you will be here
I do not fear
Death

Untitled

Like a ship I sink,
Jump while you can.
A chain with a broken link,
I have no strength.

An eagle with a broken wing,
I cannot soar with you.
A canary who can not sing,
I can't speak my heart to you.

A tree without a breeze,
I'm still while you sway.
A hive without bees,
I'm empty.

In the Night

Searching for a treasure that's nonexistant,
Reaching out to everything that's distant.
Searching by light of the pale moon,
Praying I find it quicker than soon.

The wind whispers quiet answers,
Shadows move like tiny dancers.
I stumble over rough terrain,
Looking for home to hide from rain.

The wind whispers your name,
Stars tell me I'm to blame.
You took it all and more from me,
I'm not okay but someday I will be.

Untitled

All these memories inside my head
Sometimes I think I'd rather be dead
Than to live without my true love
You are my shining star so high above

I'd give it all to turn back time
To those days when you were mine
You were happy and our love strong
Something must have went terribly wrong

I'm on my knees begging you
Tell me what I must do
To hold you again
Please don't let this be the end

Sinking in the Night

The night is dark,
Blacker than my heart.
I scream out, no ones there.
All alone, this is unfair.

I'm slowly sinking,
What was I thinking?
You could never love me,
You're too far above me.

Untitled

Mindless thoughts running through my head,
Sleepless nights laying in my bed.
Always find myself wishing you were near,
What makes you not want to be here?

I was everything you wanted but you didn't know,
I'm all alone and hurt that you just let me go.
What if I told you I was sorry and wrote you an apology,
Would it ever change the way you thought of me?

I lay here a thousand  pieces broken,
Yet I still hold on and keep hoping.
They say time will make it heal,
As time goes on the pain gets more real.

Everything around me fades to black,
I know you'd never take me back.
Maybe that's why I cry myself to sleep,
If you'd listen you could hear me weep.

They say there is plenty of fish in the sea,
They don't understand that you're the one for me.
So I'll let the ocean currents take me away,
Praying I end up near you someday.

Where do I need to go hide from the truth,
That I will never end up next to you.
I'm not what you want or need,
Run away and don't look back as I bleed.

Consumed in thoughts and emotion,
I'm sunken and drowned in the ocean.
You soar above the waters and look down,
Just for a moment to see me drown.

One day you'll want me again,
I won't even give you a second glance then.
By the end of this poem I wrote to you,
You'll realize that I'm already over you.

Sunday Storm

These puddles collect rain,
With no where to drain.
Water gathers until they swell,
Could be a curse or a spell.

Clouds become dark,
Similar to your heart.
Thunder continuously booms,
It echoes in these empty rooms.

The wind whisps and blows,
Takes pieces of me as it goes.
Looking for a place to hide,
Waiting for this to reside.

Consumed

Like a bright star in the sky,
You direct me where to fly.
You keep me floating, soaring,
Now to you my heart is pouring.

Your words run through me in every vein,
Your vast love dulls the endless pain.
In your absence my lungs are collapsing,
You make time stop passing.

-Joshua Scott
