Literature Text

In my final hour,
I shall cast all aside.
My heart harkens
not to the sound of love,
but to my own demise.

Mere existence has
claimed all I once knew
of the subtleties of joy.

-Brian Shuffett

Grey

The rain ended abruptly, stalled my heart from beating, drenched in the memory of you. Broken nights of sleep, with painful visions that will forever remind me of who you really are. Contained in subtle misery; an inability to forget that which lingers in present dreams. -Brian Shuffett September 26th, 2011

Drowning in Darkness

It dies and doesn't care, Its done and over with it Just make it all come undone once more Take and take Break it into bits Suffocate the air Drown me in my tears Its done its dead Nothing is there to actually reach It falls to pieces never reaching its height And it dies Waiting for everything to fall apart Let go Its done why do you even cry? There's nothing but coldness deep inside. Am I here? Do I actually hear? Are the words reality? Or do they simply cry in fear? and is there anything? When agony drowns? Are you even the same? Your not… and everything changed It bleeds and cries just suffocating

Never Damned

Trapped you are, this beautiful monstrosity, taunted by the men around you. Darling, dearest to my heart, I plead to thee now; You are never alone, never damned for as long as I live and beyond. I will grind my bones to dust, if it were one of the ingredients to brew a potion to cure your madness. I would run on prickered forest floors until my shoes wore out from below my feet, if it meant you were never haunted by those demons. I would drink the blood of unicorns and rip wings off angels, I would damn myself greater than whores and penniless orphans, even if you did not ask. I would breathe the air into your lungs, if it allowed you to l

Hollow

Your lips move, uttering words that your empty eyes would consume to the void.

Ich bin

Ich bin, der kommt, ich bin, der geht, ich bin, der immer schon hier war. Ich bin, der wacht, ich bin, der spricht. Ich bin der Hauch vom letzten Jahr. Ich bin die Nacht und bin die Früh. Ich bin der Mond (die Sonne nie). Ich bin das Wort, ich bin das Buch, ich bin, der all die Worte sucht, bin der Fürimmer, bin der Moment und der die Zeit manchmal verpennt. Aber ich bin. Ich bin der, alles, der nirgendwo zu Tod betrübt und liebesfroh. Ich bin, der kommt, ich bin, der geht, ich bin, der immer bei dir war: Ich bin der Wind in deinem Haar.

Put it to Rest

I try to comfort you, But you stay silent. I try to talk to you, But you stay silent. I try to make you laugh, But you stay silent. I try to reconcile with you, But you stay silent. I try to be there for you, But you stay silent. I try to make you happy, But you stay silent. And every second, every minute, every hour that you stay silent eats away at me from the inside, I’m being ripped apart, tugged at, passed around, thrown out like a piece of trash. My heart is crumbling like the walls of a demolished building, it beats for you but you keep trying to suffocate it, you keep trying to drown it, you keep trying to hurt it - and it

I've loved but never been in Love

it looks nice, Hands held across the booth, soft-edged stars crinkled in the wilt of their eyes as they gaze to each other with the loveliest smiles. There's a warmth there, rivaling Venus That I can only feel glimpses of and some dark parts of me wonder if I'm capable of love at all Because while I have known this cloud-based feeling, Pouring storms of good intentions into the only world we share, hoping this time it will save you I fear that the only love I have is Word tied And writing you into metaphors and rummaging through screens is the closest I'll ever get to the Dreams I always wake up from.

Literature

This is love

In this empty room We stand together In silence In the darkness Our shattered hearts Bleeding together as one While the blood runs Through our cold skin This is what love is like Two broken people Sharing their pain Merging their empty souls We forget about the world Because we live in a world of our own United as one In an illusion of happiness

Despoema de amor

Deveria lhe compor versos perfeitos Que homenageariam todo seu ser Te diria que o meu sonho é te ter Mas fico com preguiça e não faço tais feitos Diria que desbravaria todo o mundo Somente pra defender seu nome Só que eu esqueci dele, to usando um pronome, Então é melhor guardar isso num buraco fundo Doaria pra te uma parte de mim Se necessário até meu coração Mas na hora do transplante eu daria uma de fujão É melhor a essa estrofe eu dar um fim Falarei então que até Lua eu te daria Mas agora de me lembro de um problema: Não consigo nem sequer puxar

Desire

Your smooth skin, It drives me crazy I want to touch you, And just maybe, You...will let me... The look in your eyes, It really drives me wild I shouldn't be surprised, That you're so tempting... You are all I can see... Desire... Taking over me Desire... Controlling me I can see... The light in your eyes, Every time you see me... The beads of perspiration, Are rolling down your face As you look away, I lean in for a little taste, Because you let me... I can see your curves, Move underneath your shirt And I can't place a price, On what this moment's worth... So revealing... Desire... Taking over me Desire... Always controlling me I can s

Our Last Kiss

If I had known that it was our last kiss, I would have inhaled you deeper within me. If I had known that it was our last kiss, I would have seared your taste onto my tongue. If I had known it was our last kiss, I would have scorched your scent into my skin. ... If I had known, I would have frozen time ...

I've felt darkness
closing in on me
Chilling shadows
surrounding me
I've had the poison
leak into my skin
And it corroded my heart away
Bled away, cut away;
Dark night of my soul...
