I lost

Your eyes flow in my soul
Like the moon in the sky
Quietly I sit in the darkness
Only wish you were here
To guide my spirit home
Afraid and alone
I cry away the pain
A faint scream I hear in the distance
Voices in my head drowned it out
Tears in my eyes prevent seeing what it is
Your dark aura makes me feel safe
Your darkness lingers in my mind
I realize how much I lost
When I watched you walk away
For the last time
Empty is all I feel now
Desperately I search
For a way to regain all that is gone
But it’s too late
You left me
Because I pushed you too far
No Battle Cry
​
In this world where I never walk alone
With all these friends on my side
I prefer the company of one
Of all the soldiers that call me their princess
Of all those, who would lose their life for me
You’re the only one who stands out (of the crowd)
I never need you to go to war for me
Yet you do any way
Without the battle cry, you know
You protect me from what could happen
You don’t wait for life to strike me down
My gratitude is everlasting
My happiness in known
But the words used to thank you
Have never been spoken
I care too much to speak words of thanks
They would destroy how I truly feel
Mere words are not worthy of your nobility
There’s not one word that’s meaning
Is great enough for you
So to save us of redundancy
And speak words with no meaning
I say nothing
I’d rather smile in silence
Than to discredit your loyalties
So I shall give no battle cry
And you will trudge off to war
You’ll return with scars and a smile
And you will need to know my caring is too vast
To say anything at all
My Poems
I am Death​

I've seen it
I watch people die in front of me
Knowing that the tragedy
Was caused by my own hand
I rest nearby as the mother grieves
Their eyes are forever engraved in my sight
Walking in the darkness
I remain unseen
Though everyone is aware of my existence
I take lives because I must
The devil forces me to live as an undead soul
To take spirits from the living
Unable to know if they will ever find
Their final resting place
I am eternally cursed to do the evil spirits bidding
Many think this profession is my dream
However I fear this horrid nightmare
That I am forced to live everyday
My deed is not done
Until all the blood has been spilled
The fault is mine that everyone is dead
I work for satin
I am forever concealed
I am feared by everyone
I am death
The Dead Sea
​
A sea unmoving and still
No one dares to enter its waters
For they fear the poisonous outcome
Many believe this sea will cause death
When entered the body will float atop it
Once clear waters are tainted with blood
Ice cold yet not frozen
Nothing can grow on the shore of the feared sea
Few that have foolishly crossed it
Were hence forth unheard of
The air around it is dry and frigid
Souls bound here are swarming around
Only creature fit to reside here
Are the crows with blood stained beaks
Calling out a warning
Letting all those who come know to turn back
And all those who don’t will be devoured
By both the Dead Sea and the crows that dwell there
The dying
​
The saddened
Those who stand alone
The ones who only fear to live longer
This is all they know
They are the dying
Waiting for the curse of the end to take them
They wish not to be bothered by the living
Only want to reside in their resting
Tired of the life they had once lived
They watch as it passes by
Calling out to the reaper
That will bless them with death
As a cold hand of their last breath passes over
Their dead eyes will remain open
Watching both life and death for eternity
Forced to see the grief of others
And the gates of hell before them​
