» Poem: Only Pure
Only Pure

it's late
a sleepless state
think i'll use myself as bait
for these figures that wait
so many ways to die
none come easy, why?
she looks at me, and sighs
just as long as we have this bond that ties
us together
live or die, today, whether
tomorrow never comes, with her
everything fades, this is better
than to give into fear
closer by the day, hopefully a year
will pass and still hold you dear
liquid forms, floods, yet a single tear
isn't enough to break us
as long as we have trust
all concieved will be just
a step into the future, thus
our story has begun
last song of sorrow, sung
still holding back, holding my tongue
last toll of the bell, rung
save me...
set me free!
help me fight, not flee
open my eyes, to see
that you're on the other side
it's time to turn the tide
stretching beyond, open wide
for all their shit, put behind with stride
my one true accomplishment, your face
shows through, keep the pace
before i fall behind, just in case
fearless becoming feared, a taste
of reality, this time is like no other
no room for 'fuck-up's', why bother
it's not worth it, why hurt her?
she doesn't realize, but in my life,
she's the only thing that's pure...
