My Apathy

Submitted by LaVone on Sun, 08/01/2010 - 3:18pm |

winds that chill the bone
only emphasize my alone
giving form to an emptiness
for which mercy cannot atone

my ego taunts the pain
while my spirit takes it in
feels like i've lost it all
just waiting for a win

can i begin again
clean slate start from scratch
no more empathy in me
only Myopathy-my apathy lasts

too cold to care
but too stubborn to die

Disconnected

Submitted by LaVone on Tue, 07/27/2010 - 2:07pm |

Disconnected from life
Days like dial tones
Surrounded by people
But somehow so alone

Am I too far gone?
Should I hang up the phone?
Got me feeling like drake
Like Somebody else's clone

Like I feel all the pain
But I'm living in 3rd person
And can't find the code or buttons
To keep my heart from hurting

But I can't close the curtains
Cause the show must go on

And I said, "Never Again."

My pain becomes my anger
My mind disguises danger
Hidden beneath the surface
Of so many different strangers

I tried my best to tame her
But still she swallowed me whole
My conscience lies shattered
At the bottom of my soul

My heart grows cold
My thoughts become numb
My speech becomes slurred
Common sense goes dumb

I could blame the rum
But I'm not T-Pain
All I know for sure

Waves

Submitted by LaVone on Sun, 07/25/2010 - 2:38am |

Like moonlit waves
Across the waters surface
Everything is distorted
A perpetual disturbance

My condition makes me nervous
The symptoms chill my bones
Will I ever beat this sickness
Or will it swallow me whole

So I re-align my goals
While I question the purpose
Of doing such a thing
If the effort is even worth it

I go back to the rippled surface
From which my thoughts reflect

Open Soul Surgery

Submitted by LaVone on Sat, 07/24/2010 - 2:49pm |

This literary piece will be used to reach beneath. Beneath the heart, within the mind to discover the soul that grew old with time. I've spoken of sin, I've spoken of lust, I've spoken of hate...I've spoken of much. But the subject I haven't touched is one that most can't reach. It's the reason Jesus calls for witnesses rather than people to preach.
