Piano Man
As he carefully caresses the keys
Rhythms rip through the air
Sounds sing in the space
For he presses the wood with care
He closes his eyes to the world
Only feeling whats beneath him
All he feels is silence
The lights begin to dim
The auditorium is articulated
To eventuate the chimes
Curves in the room around him
Answer his sounds with rhymes
Those who watch the man
Have eyes drenched in tears
For the melodies coming from his hands
Have quelled all their fears
The instrument sings as he intertwines
His hands into the keys
Harmonies heaped from his heart
Put even screaming babies to ease
The audience stares in awe
As his song begins to pan
This will never be his last melody
For he is the piano man

My beautiful friend.
Hi to your kind soul.
The one that is hurting.
More than I could ever know.
I remember when your hair.
Was healthy and long.
I remember when your voice was able.
To break perfectly into song.
I remember when you had true morals.
When you strived for good.
But then the drugs hit.
You felt misunderstood.
They entered your body.
And altered your brain.
You increased dosages.
As more and more numbed the pain.
He dazzled you.
With his big ole smile.
He said come with me.
I’ll make you happy for awhile.
But what you failed to realize.
Is the devil hides away.
And makes you think.
He will be the hero to your day.
Your hair has turned weak.
And brittle and cold.
Your skin has dimmed in color.
You look torn and old.
Your smile has faded.
Into a frown.
All your friends are leaving.
Because you’re going down.
He’s intertwined himself into you.
Interlaced into your being.
The addiction spread like wildfire.
That’s what everyone has been seeing.
You turn to him when you’re lonely.
Sad or weak.
He’s your only friend now.
Your days have turned bleak.
I want to stay.
But your love has turned fake.
I can’t stand to be near someone.
Who isn’t dying by mistake.
But please don’t die on me.
My beautiful friend.
I know you’re somewhere in there.
Please come back to me again.

You were good once
I remember your smile.
Your kindness radiating off your skin.
I remember a person.
Whom I will never see again.
I cared for you more
Than you could ever know.
I grew up with you everyday.
I have the memories to show.
I watched you fade.
From good to broken.
Your skin turned fake.
Your kind words became unspoken.
Your appearance turned.
From beautiful to terrifying.
I watched as all the good parts of you.
Were slowly dying.
I know you can’t see.
The monster you’ve become.
Your mind is blocked.
And you’ve become numb.
I know my friend is in there.
Locked away.
In a cage full of thorns.
Unable to see day.
I wish I could fix you.
But I can’t help someone.
Who doesn’t understand.
That they’ve become no one.

why can't i hate you
how could you leave so soon
while my heart bled through?
you were everything to me
but never deserved to be.
why can't i hate you?
the memories burn too
i wish i was your everything
but you never cared for my well being
i've lost all hope for us.
i even protected your trust.
what is there to do now,
without you, i feel like a clown.
why can't i hate you?
your lies, i'm starting to see through.
i wish i could say i don't love you anymore,
my heart and should begin to pour.
i miss our sleepless nights,
the days when we never had those fights.
i miss the love we had,
i sit here now, just sad.
