The Antagonist I Needed

My hand will be extended in gratitude to you. All of your incorrigible actions, help me see what I never wanted to grow to be. So quick to speak, so slow to listen. You were the antagonist I needed. My jugular was never too far for your shank. Thank you. Thank you for always being there to make me question why I ever confided in you. A burden will never be carried for leaving it all behind. The distorted picture that was painted was auto-biographical. I could barely see your frame. Thank you for the blurry image, thank you for helping me focus mine.

My Heart

Trying to cast a Shakespearean shadow with a light made of such simpler times. There is no way to portray the same shade, when you have only seen a fraction of the same darkness. These thoughts hit the paper but they'll never be as glorified, nor would I ask of that. Others may attempt to turn their cube into an iceberg, for myself I won't allow it, wont allow myself to sink to your level. I'm not weak but the battles can't compare to your wars. The most I can give is a promise to carry your touch with a spark, and make sure these prose come straight from my heart.

Although I may not say it first
It will be said with meaning
Sacrifice is a two way street
With one side bleeding
Replacing what doesn't exist parallels searching for ghosts
Your venal nature haunts this room
It seeks me out. It lurks my dreams.
The selfish ways, you'll just deceive
Claw through anyone strewn in your path
Remain blinded by your thirst, you feel the cup is empty.
However you've been drinking from my glass all along.

Here In the Ground

I've never been this honest with myself. Truthfully there has never been a reason. Self deception has been my right hand man. Violence was never meant to make me stronger. I only saw myself one way and this world has allowed me to change. Yet again. And yet again I have formed into a new person. One that constantly strives to be something more. Previously blinded by the hoax of mediocrity. I will be more. And as the leaves begin to die, my perspective will no longer lie. Living life through the deadened sounds of nightmares I once had. Even though I will die alone, I'll know my place in the ground.
