These Memories

by LiamS
written by LiamS

It was the middle of winter, she left in the cold
Taking nothing but her ring and my pride
Now it’s winter again, I’m still here
There’s an empty bottle with me inside
I’m holding up a lamppost with my one good arm
The blood there on the floor must be mine
And I would be alright now
I’d be alright, but these memories are killing me

When promises break, they shatter like glass
The rainbow never gives you the gold
Old love letters left out in the rain
The summertime always brings the cold
All things must pass; both good and bad
Day is always […]

Here we go again…

by LiamS
written by LiamS

I was doing very well. I applied to join the Navy, took the tests and aced them. Got told I had about a 2 year wait, ok, that’s fine. I knew that I’d fail the medical if I didn’t get off my meds soon, so I told my doctor that I wanted out because I was feeling better, and I WAS.
This was about a month ago, I suppose, although I’m not sure. Time doesn’t seem to move in the same way anymore. I’ve been driving people away, I’ve been called “inappropriate”, “offensive”… “a drunk”… I tell myself that I’ve always been the type of […]

Love and Hate

by LiamS
written by LiamS

I love her with all my heart. But I hate her for doing this to me. I love her for being honest about her feelings. But I hate her for not having those feelings. I hate myself for hating her. I hate myself for loving her.

Sometimes I think I’d be better off if I’d never looked at her a second time. It’s funny how that single act of going up to her and starting a conversation, has led me to where I am now. Sometimes I think I’d be better off if we’d never met, but then I wouldn’t have enjoyed the WONDERFUL time we […]

The Girl With Lonely Eyes

by LiamS
written by LiamS

This isn’t really to do with my suicidal thoughts… I don’t know, maybe it is.
But this website seems to be the only place where people “understand” my poetry. My “art”.
This is a poem I wrote about a woman that I was in love with. That I still am in love with. To make a long story short, a couple of months back, she told me that she didn’t love me anymore. Just like that. I honestly believed that we were going to get married. And then she does this.
I can’t blame her, and I know it would be worse if she had […]

Untitled poem

by LiamS
written by LiamS

Would you look upon another man’s darkness, and tell him what he sees?
I would not.
Though I do understand your anger. Angry, I would be too, if years of hard yellows and laborious blues had been scratched out by an easy black.
An easy, fatal black.
Tomorrow shall be a positive day.
Tomorrow I shall rise at 6am to go running in the park.
Tomorrow I shall tidy my living area, even sweep away the dusts of time. The aching grains of sand.
Tomorrow I will not smoke any cigarettes, or play my guitar, for I worry that these objects will kill me. One […]

The Other Side Of Hell

by LiamS
written by LiamS

When you just don’t care enough to carry on
And every road looks like the wrong way
You feel like you’ve got nowhere to belong
And you can’t get out of bed to face the day

When you drive away the ones that love you most
And you’re left staring into the abyss
You feel that you’d prefer to be a ghost
Because you know that you will not be missed

Then I’ve been where you are, without a doubt
And the way that you feel, ain’t no tongue can tell
It’s a darkened room with no clear way out
You’ve made it to the other side […]

Goodbye Tonight

by LiamS
written by LiamS

I’m filled with an emptiness, that’s tearing me apart
There is no tenderness, or love left in my heart
I gave it all away, gave it up without a fight
Now it’s the close of day, so I’ll say goodbye tonight

I can laugh and joke with you, play guitar and sing
But I will end up hurting you, with the pain I always bring
Good-for-nothing’s got to go; I’ll fade into the night
Don’t ask me where ‘cause I don’t know, but I’ll say goodbye tonight

Don’t search for me; lost souls can’t be found
Doesn’t everybody end up in the ground?

I’ve given all that I […]
