Pinnacle
Hello dear friend,
It feels like it's been a while,
Take a seat beside me,
Have a rest to talk idle.
What's been on your mind,
Where have you been,
How many lives have you impacted,
Where does it lay on the border of sin?
Tell me what it's like,
Living day in and day out,
So many choices to choose,
Inside that chaotic head, just thrashing about.
Sometimes I wonder,
What it's like being you,
Feeling so human,
Working for a one man crew.
You have your religion,
And I've made peace with my gods,
But tell me now love,
What're the odds?
It couldn't have been,
A ten to one,
My bets on the angel in the outfield,
Where the eastern quadrant

-I've never--I'v
I've never:
-I’ve never been one to believe in miracles,
God only knows I’ve tried,
I’ve been sleepless day in and day out,
Since the day my mom died.
-I’ve never been one to believe in heaven,
Or things I just can’t see,
Angels, ghosts, and demons,
Are all things I believe are part of me.
-I don’t believe in love,
Because only now fools can see,
It’s a dangerous path to tread down,
Full of tattered promises and disease.
-I don’t believe in promises,
Noone has ever given me hope,
The one I trusted has left me,
And I have slipped out of that rope.
-I don’t believe in anything,
So why
Love like weather by StrawberryGemini, literature

Love like weather
Through the storm and rain,
We're like the weather,
Often cloudy and sunny,
But go good together.
We're like spring,
When it's full in bloom,
Budding like flowers,
Fresh from the rising gloom.
Our love is like the summer,
With hot afternoons,
As the humid wind touches our skin,
And lingering kisses seem to loom.
Our friendship is like fall,
Crisp and fresh,
The air around us always,
So delightful and fresh.
The distance between us is winter,
So bitter, harsh, and cold,
Like a lake froze over,
We lye under the folds.
But I fear not for our love,
Because one day winter will come back,
And when it does my love fear not,
Be

Memories
What's left to hold onto,
When you didn't give me anything,
Every now and then,
I wish you were here.
To see my failures,
But also to see my accomplishments,
See how far I've come in such little time,
And over come my worst fears.
What's left to grasp,
When everything's been blown down,
But still every now and then,
I wish you were around.

Time long passed by StrawberryGemini, literature

Time long passed
Like glass we break,
Shattered into pieces,
Day turns to night,
The sunlight creases.
The dust of ashes,
From remains long past,
Sift through the narrow tube,
Of this hour glass.
I sit here slowly,
Watching the time pass by,
Day to night and night to day,
With not a single reason why.
If I could sit here forever,
And watch everything unfold,
There would be millions of stories to tell,
And I could be happy as I grow old.
I look at the sky now,
Wishing you were here,
I hold your memories in my heart,
And keep your voice near.
It is a token to remind me,
That never am I alone,
Because with you,
I am never just skin and b

Now that the morphine has settled in,
And the pain is becoming numb,
I raise my hand up to my face,
Looking at my thumb.
I've never felt so desolate,
Nor so insecure,
Never have I felt so worthless,
Nor so impure.
I can't feel my words,
They won't form anymore,
I can't feel my emotions,
Because this pain has hit my core.
I've been begging,
No, I've implored,
That this pain will dissipate swiftly,
And what's left of me will be no more.
Talents wasted from writing,
These words of the purest form of agony,
So just take the front row seat,
And you can watch me bleed.
Lacerating my skin,
Down to my very blood and flesh,

Faint glimmers
Holding onto faint glimmers of hope,
Her dreams fall through,
Through broken dreams,
And empty thoughts of you.
Running from a past,
She could never understand,
Finding herself lost and confused,
And in the arms constantly of another man.
Tired eyes,
And the bottle to her lips,
She holds the whiskey close,
As she lets it tilt back for another sip.
Oh girl,
Can't you see that life is cruel,
But oh girl,
You can't always play the fool,
Baby,
You know I love you,
So just let go,
Fall into my arms, and I'll hold you so.
Sitting on her bed,
Staring blankly at her phone,
She looks at the clock,
A half past twelve, and

Literature
Affairs of the heart
Show me the world,
From when it was black and white,
And surely I've got enough insperation,
To color it from the love between you and I.
Call out my name when things seem desolate,
And I'm sure to be the reply in your echo,
Calling to you when you need me,
Loud and clear.
Dream the mightiest dream,
Of the affairs of the heart,
Wanting to keep you here,
But striving for us to no longer be apart.
Surely I trust,
When you wake up,
All of this could be true,
Because it's what exists, between us two.
