Alone
Author: Jen Cummings
|

Alone
broken promises
shattered by lies
empty dreams
drained by loss
nothing
no one
not anything
is forever
like a rose
blackening
slowly, but surely
from lack
of nourishment
from lack
of attention
left alone
forgotten
wilted
so beats my heart
slowly, but surely
and still
alone

as I sit alone in the darkness
Author: Jen Cummings
|

as I sit alone in the darkness
of nights golden hour
I feel tremors
worming through my body
my hands feel icy
my heart races rapidly
my cheeks are crimson
my eyes glazed over
my attention becomes unfocused
my thoughts, quite unclear
my whole body seems to ache
I watch a candle flame
flicker on my wall
I stare intently, trying to gain clarity
of my mind, my heart, my body, my soul
and for the first time
in my entire existence
I realize
I’m afraid to be alone

Completely Alone
Author: Jen Cummings
|
|
Completely Alone
eyes clouded with tears
heart jaded by pain
mind aching from confusion
body spinning out of control
every time I get close
something pulls me back
destined, if you please
to never feel complete
to never feel love
to never be happy
and in my mind
I wonder why
why can't I break these chains?
why can't I unleash these emotions?
why can't I wander out of my darkness?
and what.. if anything
will ever really
make me feel
complete
or am I destined
to live a life
of solitude confinement
all on my own
completely…. alone

Consumption of Chaos
Author: Jen Cummings

Consumption of Chaos
out of my window
I gaze
searching the night
being consumed
by the darkness
and waiting patiently
for a glimmer of light
for a little shimmer of hope
for a moment of sanity
when perhaps my chaos
will become a little calmer
when perhaps I will find comfort
in all of my unsettledness
when perhaps my sun will rise
in the darkness of my night

life & death
Author: Jen Cummings
|
|
life & death
elation, excitement
fear, sadness
all rushed through
my mind, my body
my heart, my soul
from the very second
i heard your cry
from the very moment
i gazed into your eyes
so wide, so alive
so observant, so afraid
i wanted to protect you
i wanted to hold you forever
i wanted to take away your pain
i would've given up my own life
my very being, my existence
my heart and my soul
to give you life
i held on to you for what felt like ever
my heart ached, my body shook
a piece of me died, forever changed
holding you in my arms, watching you
hearing your last sigh
but swearing forever
to never say goodbye
