Will you weep?

Love is simple,
Love is kind.
Can't tame these feelings
In my mind

Calm, Collected.

Sure, I'm fine.
Depression creeping.
I'm on the line.

Clawing, scraping,

Gasping for life.
Falling, fading:
My internal strife.

Should I reach out?

Can I break free?
The silver I saw,
I no longer see.

Holding my chest,

longing for breath,
this terrifying tango,
this dance of death.

Then you came,

nose stuck in a book.
My heart, my mind:
you cluelessly took.

My heart was in shock.

My mind insane.
Sitting rock bottom,
the whole world to gain.

Yet there you sat,

not knowing, entranced.
Our meeting, your smile.
It wasn't by chance. 

Now day after day

I wonder, I ponder.
Alone with my pen,
my hope: please don't squander.

Just give me a glance.

Give me a shot!
All I want is a moment.
It isn't a lot.

You don't know me.

Mayhap you never will.
It all depends 

what I do with this pill.

  1. Nice Brandon :) I love blogging poetry, I do it all the time with Just a Bunch of Amphigory and it can really calm me down or just put me in a good mood.
