Ren the Ghost

I generally post my poetry first on mastodon, and you can find all the entries tagged poetry here. Sadly my hands aren't doing that well, so I'm not gonna fix capitalization and such...

Poem

The roof's been caving in
and the music is all gone
at night i lie awake
and look up at the stars

Something feels all wrong
and i just don't know why
at dawn i try to sleep
but the stars are much too dark

A shadow's in the light
and it's getting closer still
at day i always feel
haunted by that gentle kill

For the sky is caving in
and the music is all gone
in dreams i see a home
we'll build amongst the stars

Poem

And on this road
i found
something rising high
above
and i knew
in my heart
it'll always stand tall
even though
i am
lost in the dark

and if the light
shall reach me
beyond
the limits of the world
i shall not fight
as the crows
fly
and the victories
shine me
alight

Poem

I don’t think you have what it takes
I don’t mean to be rude
But i think you’ve been running too fast
And you’re running out of room

I think you should give it a rest
You gave it a go for too long
Now it’s time to say give up
And just go home

I don’t mean to burst your bubble
But I hear you cry at night
And I think you should know by now
You can’t make it through this fight

So I think you should realize
Your boundaries and your walls
There are mountains you can’t climb
But there are places to land when you fall

So I don’t think you have what it takes
But I don’t mean to be rude
I love you too much to stand in place
While you seek your own ruin
