I need you as a beacon.
A beacon of your love beamin'
And a heart that's gleamin'
Shed light over my demons.
Even while I'm weakened,
Me sitting and screamin'
Broken down and beaten,
In life, Love is the meanin'
I think I've lost my mind,
Don't worry I'm still fine.
It will come back in time.
As I walk this line.
You are out of your head,
You believe you are dead.
But I tell you instead,
You just got out of bed.
It all seems divine,
But it would be a crime,
To receive a sign,
That I have been confined.
Hold on to that thread,
Though your blood drips red.
But what has been said,
Is how you've been lead.
It's hard to conceive,
But I now believe,
Why you chose to leave,
Your reasons are concrete.
My heart you received,
Now I'm left to grieve.
It's easy for me see,
You're not meant for me.
1, 2, 3, 4,
You're tapping at my door.
1, 2, 3, 4,
You hope to talk to me more.
5, 6, 7, 8,
You wish to tempt fate.
5, 6, 7, 8,
We sit in this fragile state.
8, 7, 6, 5,
For love is why we strive.
8, 7, 6, 5,
Through broken hearts, we survive.
4, 3, 2, 1,
This world has spun.
Life of love has begun.
And starts in 3... 2... 1...
I hear silent screams,
confirming my worst fears.
I see blank faces,
dripping with falling tears.
I smell falling rain,
drowning my soul.
I sense loneliness,
keeping me from being whole.
I dream of security,
a man looking for love.
I walk in the abyss,
this road is getting rough...
Here I sit,
Here I stay
When the girl next door
Moves away.
A love lost
Not forgotten.
Even after buried
In its coffin.
A hope for love
Can still exist.
But cloudy days
In your heart persist.
Watch me burn
In fire so hot
Watch me burn
In what you can't stop
My screams of pain
Fall on deaf ears
You see me strain
With falling tears
Watch me burn
In flames so bright
Watch me burn
In a starless night
Self incineration
As the fire goes higher
My incarnation
of the bird of fire
Watch me burn
Engulfed so wide
Watch me burn
In fiery suicide
Leave behind ashes
After my combustion
But this does not end
My self destruction
If I told you; "I want you",
would it even change a thing?
If I told you; "I love you",
Would you think it's embarrassing?
If I told you; "I care for you",
Would you give me a second glance?
If I told you; "I loved you",
Would you give me a chance?
What if I told you that,
I was for you, and you for me?
What if i told you,
That you were my only?
What if I said, "I love you?"
I'm sorry, that's all I can do...
Another night alone.
So far from home.
Just sitting here, wishing on stars,
While I'm closing down these bars.
Now I walk this empty street.
And miles pass beneath my feet.
Drunkenly stumble to my front porch,
Slowly wobble and land on the couch.
Relax, and give into the night.
Impatiently await next dreaming sight.
Awaken the next day by rays of light.
Another day that I must fight.
This sinking feeling is getting old,
As I fall even deeper in the cold.
All I want is someone to love,
Hold her heart high up above.
I will be the one to defend
That broken heart you try to mend.
If only fate would be so kind
For her heart to meet mine.
I need you as a beacon.
A beacon of your love beamin'
And a heart that's gleamin'
Shed light over my demons.
Even while I'm weakened,
Me sitting and screamin'
Broken down and beaten,
In life, Love is the meanin'

I have zero talent when it comes to any traditional or digital art and I wish I did, but what I feel I can do to show my creativity is write.
Something kind of funny is that I hate reading books but i like to write things... Go figure
I feel like my strong point is poetry, however I have only started to get back into writing since my days in high school('09 Graduate)
i have no ultimate goal by posting to DA, but if somehow one of my poems gets published by some means that would be just great!!! But, the only way i see that happening is with feedback from some DA peers.
If you enjoy what you have read please watch for more and comment to help make the quality of my work increase.
Now, if you got a question I haven't addressed just ask me and get to know the guy behind the keyboard!!!
So, I seem to have a different kind of writers block... There are a lot of things i want to wright poems about... However all of these thoughts get jumbled together, and they become a chaotic mess in my head. Thus making it to create a coherent poem... My question would be if anybody has a way to help me with this craziness???? Please help me, the chaos if deafening...
