Wear a smile: sit down and breathe, friend.
Let your thoughts coagulate and let that sadness end.
You're not really here anyway: does what you see make sense?
Well, your eyes aren't open, and your body's really tense.
I went out for a walk today, I went out for a walk,
I saw my neighbor along the way and we began to talk,
"My friend!", he said, "please come inside, and view my grand contraption",
I followed him in and in and through and saw the beast in action.
'Twas then there came a whirring screech, a bright and blinding flash,
Marvelous clinks and stomping thuds and once my daze had passed,
"The first to see is what you are", my friend himself declared,
the first to see what I have made, and life is what I've dared."
While I'm amazed, I must admit, it gave me quite a scare,
Nothing I know prepared me for this- this golem made aware,
A towering and aw
I met you by the bomb-bay doors
where you were cherry red.
You said to "call me later",
but you won't last a day. Instead,
I'll meet you on the ground,
God willing that we land -
though don't try to polish me off
as soon as I can stand.
We'll meet up down the hall a bit,
sneak off and have our fun.
But you won't last as long as me,
three minutes and you're done.
But you'll meet me best of all as I lie asleep in bed,
and you hide me one more time, bar the stench of the dead.
A haze struck out today,
Though it's not here to stay.
I hope.
But now it's been quite near a year you've not gone on your way.
Yet as I stare at you balanced against the sky, you choke out even my thoughts-
So I walk away.
But!
You're now and always a tended fire,
And attention inspires... it makes you burn and burn.
So you do.
I remember smoking, and causing you to rise.
It was a pretty sight, however much I regret it.
(Nor does thinking back to those beautiful memories help)
But no combatant is willing to fight you, and you're too hot now to approach.
I could, perhaps, wait for you to burn out, though, I want none to die-
So it scares

The Unfortunate Case of a Sole Surivivor
'I'm not to blame', thought him, as he wandered through ruins,
For he still had his life, as though life- he once knew it.
All around, the stonework creaks,
Twisted, black, burned and bleak,
The crying of stone, burned so weak
Is enough to raise his chin.
Around, he glares, through hollow smoke,
Which clouds and blots and lives to choke
All who aren't aware that good has left the earth.
Nothing spotted, but yet, so lividly,
The loner turns, begins to flee
From beneath the home,
For well he knows he's not alone.
Chase and pursuit rear from his mind,
From a place with a friend from a different time
Where guard was not kept and lives fell be
Humans were not meant to traverse the skies,
yet they do so every day -
Nor should I be with you they say,
but have no doubt I'll find a way
to bring you where I see today.
For though I sit here placid and confined I am allowed the freedom of thought -
Free thought we sought,
though I seek not:
I seek not but for you.
And though I see far
I see, though, not but you.
Cold and desolate,
but I am happiest here
in the nether realm;
there is no wonder
for I know all I possess
in the nether realm.
Though I am in pain
longing to forget it all
and to fade away,
for all things bore you
when you are overexposed;
I have grown jaded -
happier to go
from the cold I've learned to love
than to be unchanged.
And when I am gone,
though I really have no choice,
I want you to grow.
