Tattered Journal

I wrote those
     darkest memories
In that tattered old journal
Ink slipped the stories
That only got told
In blood and nightmares
I let slip
The deepest of demons
And when
     the words were done
I took that
     tattered old journal
And set it to flames
Those darkest of memories
     now ash and cinder
Still burning inside
But for a moment at least
     a little cooler
And the nightmares
     a little dimmer

Save This for Later

​Close my eyes
Be elsewhere
Anywhere other
Than in this dark
And dusty room
This isn’t my body
Not in this moment
I’m far away
At least for now
There’ll be time later
To be back here
Nightmares
And dark
Lost angry memories
Those will be the times
I’m back in this fucking room
But for now
I’m somewhere under
A deep blue sky
Not trapped
In this dark
And dusty room

I Remember Too Clearly

I remember
All too clearly
All the things you did

I try
To let it go
To simply walk away

But then
Just like that
It all comes crashing back

I remember
All too clearly
All the things you did

I want
To let it go
To leave it in the past

But then
I close my eyes
And I see it all again

I remember
All too clearly
All the things you did

I need
To let it be done
To let it all just wash away

But then
I remember
Everything single thing you did

There Are Some Things the Rain Can’t Wash Away

There are just some things
That the rain can’t wash away
Not sins and not memories
History just can’t be undone

I still hop the train once in a while
And walk that sidewalk downtown
Sometimes I imagine
The bloodstains are still there

But of course they aren’t
The rain has washed them away
Far better than time has done
At washing away the memories

How quickly things changed
That sunny summer day
How much some things
Just seem to stay the same

I still love to stand out in the rain
With my face tilted to the sky
Hoping that there are things inside
That the rain can finally wash away

The Way You Justified It All

It always seemed so easy
The way you justified it all
No matter your actions
The fault was never your own

Breaking an already
All too broken boy
Because someone else
Had already broken you

You told your story
About how bad it was
As if that somehow
Made it all seem ok

Because they were monsters
To you as little boy
You thought it wasn’t your fault
That you had become one too

It always seemed so easy
The way you justified
Your sins against me
With the sins against you

Losing You Again

It’s getting harder to remember
What you looked like
I’m scared
That once I forget
You’ll be gone for good

Why is it
That the memories I want
Seem to fade away
And the memories I hate
Seem burned in, here to stay

Too many memories
More bad than good
And I wish I could pick
The ones to keep
And the ones to lose

I swear I try to keep you close
But when I close my eyes
I can’t see your eyes anymore
Please don’t leave me
Not again
