  Together

  

  By stopevanescence, Gainesville, FL

  Sometimes everything goes blank, In my mind, it’s like a prank. I’m not quite sure what to do, There’s no getting over you. Bridges build, it’s time to cross. Great way to avoid a loss. Red or yellow, I choose green, Fast enough to cross the scene. Pickup truck, you s...

  The Study of Mathematics

  

  By stopevanescence, Gainesville, FL

  The inspiration arose quite suddenly. As I was tempted to drink rays of sunshine, I remembered that they always exploited my spirit with happiness, illuminating the darkest corners of my inevitable imagination, and released giggles, along with the possibility of truth slipping off my tongue. Alas, t...

  Correlation

  

  By stopevanescence, Gainesville, FL

  And breaths like thunder roll in devastation, An uphold of a meek temptation, And slender vessels fill in hesitation, Entwined into a stimulation, Of thoughts like brief improvisation, And nothing else will make an emulation, Of warm and comforting sensation, Why ending like som...

  In The End

  

  By stopevanescence, Gainesville, FL

  In the end, Who knows? Who knows? I guess its pointless counting rows Of years and months and weeks and days, And minutes turning into haze. Perhaps, one day I will awake. And darkness will embrace my sake. As perfect as his hands can be, And arms still wrapping around me. As priceless as t...

  Dream

  

  By stopevanescence, Gainesville, FL

  And then, the sun sets and I dream Of perfect minutes Slowly seem, To catch me, throw me Let me soar Through your embrace forevermore. And then, my eyes close like before And when they open, I adore Your presence, being Like a dream My offbeat heartbeats meaning more. And all of me me...

  Wishing For Last May

  

  By stopevanescence, Gainesville, FL

  I need to grow a pair of wings, Explore the sky from day to day. To get away from all cruel things, I close my eyes and dream of May. A time when wishes bloom and grow, When Earth is soft and wind is warm. A time when you are all I know, A time when hurt could cause no harm. A time whe...

  Dear Truth

  

  By stopevanescence, Gainesville, FL

  Dear Truth, Forgive me; I’ve traded you for happiness. I traded you for those translucent sap green wings that took me higher than the depths of sky, and sapphire waves of desire numbed all strands of common sense. I traded you for laughter that trickled down my vocal chords, and flipped my s...

  Control

  

  By stopevanescence, Gainesville, FL

  I wonder what becomes Of those who care And drown In altruism, unreturned. Choking on fear Of unconditional love And empathy, ungranted. Losing control of sound and motion, Trips you underground Under the tender Skin of your heart. Falling head over heels ...

  Awake

  

  By stopevanescence, Gainesville, FL

  My eyes are wide open, My mind refuses sleep. Every star already lit, My lips try counting sheep. Thoughts twirling and rushing, My mindset in neon, The memories crushing, All chances of sleep. While love is a feeling, So splendid, revealing Seems common, yet thrilling I say words to many...

  More Than Just A Game

  

  By stopevanescence, Gainesville, FL

  I want the world to change... The probabilities of this are sleek, And certainly my thoughts are slipping from within the range. I wish equality embraced our mindsets, And altruism hovered, gracefully and eagerly Around, but just the same These unsculpted wishes, Are no more than specks of e...

  Clueless

  

  By stopevanescence, Gainesville, FL

  Rushing and stepping, Taking and thinking Acting and making Decisions for granted. Over and over, I feel like escaping I feel like forgetting I feel like I've chanted. Lines, over and over A rush to the head Of memories, unforgotten Stories untold, Truth hidden, Lies blinding Thei...

  Gone.

  

  By stopevanescence, Gainesville, FL

  So quiet Quiet I can barely hear Something stirring up. Maybe rushing from behind me Or hiding in the layers of the future, Swiftly drowning me in it’s embrace. Butterflies with razor sharp wings sweep me Over my head. I laugh, Drowned in the perfection of expectance. And cry, As I wa...

  God And My Monster

  

  By stopevanescence, Gainesville, FL

  I’m just hurt as hurt can be. There is something huge, evil and strong inside of me, and I think I might know what it is. I’m alone, lost and scared and I have no clue what to do about it. I can feel that animal inside me. I think that he is a monster. A huge scary monster clawing up my insides ...

  Stronger

  

  By stopevanescence, Gainesville, FL

  They say what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. If that was true, I’d have the strength to hold on tight, For many seconds longer. I hear her voice, so crystal clear Like morning sunshine, Or an autumn breeze She keeps me holding on, the future very near: (So close, yet slid...

  That Kind of Guy

  

  By stopevanescence, Gainesville, FL

  I feel so alone, regardless to the yelling, arguing and occasional cursing of my obnoxious classmates. I don’t think I should have taken art class. I don’t fit here. I would say I’m too good, but that would be crossing that thin line between confidence and arrogance. I’m as always in my own...

  Confessions

  

  By stopevanescence, Gainesville, FL

  Slow feathery whispers Fall from your lips, Soft, sweet, simple. Slowly I see you confess your sins. Somehow steady mistakes. Misunderstandings, ideas Pressuring you, surrounding you. Somehow steady mind flow, Confusing you, upsetting you. You think you’ve reached the he...

  Falling

  

  By stopevanescence, Gainesville, FL

  Falling is a funny word. What does it mean? The definition is Infinitive. Like dropping from a lighthouse into the ocean sea. And hear the cry of seagulls as you fall. Like diving streamline Into a shallow pool. The sting of chlorine hits your eyes and lips. Like jumping o...

  Don't Let me Go

  

  By stopevanescence, Gainesville, FL

  No, stop don’t let me go. You go to fast I can’t hold on much longer.. You leave too many things behind, Too many priceless things behind I don’t have time. I don’t have time. Don’t throw me into Something i don’t know Don’t force these things to change Just ...

  Breaking Silence

  

  By stopevanescence, Gainesville, FL

  i am talking to you you are all gone i can hear a steady beat inside my head the blood pumping in a rhythm through my mind over and over again like an invisible source of powerful energy hidden somewhere far too hard to find or like an unexpected corruption the thought of something murking ...

  It's that feeling you get

  

  By stopevanescence, Gainesville, FL

  Its that feeling you get when Your heart skips a beat. When you laugh till your abs hurt With the first friend you meet. It’s that feeling that keeps you ahead and alert As you open your wingspan Lifting yourself above any dirt. Ignoring the boundaries Touching the sky. Taking a chance, w...

  The Last Time

  

  By stopevanescence, Gainesville, FL

  Its been raining for at least twelve days now. It's dark, impossible to see even a meter away. Sometimes it's quiet, miserably silent, and all you hear are the splatters of raindrops from the trees, brought by a slight passing breeze. But that's only sometimes... Most of the time the ...
