Something More
Between each breath I think of you And write another line or two Finding words is hardly a chore Wishing we were something more
Between each toke I think of you Wondering how we could be less than two From trembling lips fire burns the ground And something more must be found
Between each drink I think of you The kind of pain you put me through The empty glass breaks on the floor So I must reach for something more
Between each cut I think of you The stupid shit you put me through A blood-wet blade slips to the floor And I need the help of something more
Between each chamber I think of you With your Goddamn games I'm finally through This one man roulette ends on the floor Not now, not ever, to be something more

Stronger
These days are long But these nights are longer I grow wearier as each passes But they all say I will be stronger
They think that this is normal The average case of hopeless heartbreak But they must not understand The toll it can take
For if they did Their attempts at comfort would cease They would know such words give no aid And only make pain increase
I do not need to be reminded Of the life and love and loss Like ones who would say “It will get better” As Jesus hung limply on the Cross
So do not try to console me With vain notions of ease The milk and honey of the world Cannot rival the black seas
In the raging pits of Hell There can be no redemption No light can pierce through Once in the mind’s benthic region
When love’s heat has risen All you can do is crawl When you reach the edge of love’s world All you can do is fall
At the end of love’s road You can go forward no longer When love’s muscles are torn There is no being stronger

Yea... I try not to re-use words too much, but "two" seemed to stick out to me.. thought to be honest, I find the first stanza to be pretty "weak"... But I wasn't in a great state of mind when writing it, and I try to conserve "mental state" in things I write... So if I make an error or a certain play/emphasis on words, I keep it in there afterwords :/
Thanks for the support though

Why I Cry
I cry because of the days we have And the nights that are sure to follow The way we always end up here Every day and every tomorrow
I cry because we lie so still Your head upon my chest The way you look as your lips come closer And we breathe each other’s breath
I cry because of the love we make All the nights we touch the sky The way the hours unnoticeably pass by When on the wings of love we fly
I cry because of the life we share The way this one has been made from two I cry because I love you And because you love me too
---Then it switches up, past-tense changing the whole poem---
I cry because of the days we had And the nights that were sure to follow The way we always ended up here Every day and every tomorrow
I cry because we lied so still Your head upon my chest The way you looked as your lips came closer And we breathed each other’s breath
I cry because of the love we made All the nights we touched the sky The way the hours unnoticeably passed by When on the wings of love we did fly
I cry because of the life we shared The way that one had been made from two I cry because I loved you And because you loved me too
