Taking A Moment
By Hawk O’Brian
We sit at the table,
holding each others hands.
Talking about nothing,
not following any plans.
This is our time away,
a chance to reflect.
A time to remember the things,
we should never forget.
We can’t look too far ahead,
nor can we look to the past.
We are just in the here and now,
making this moment last.
We look out the window,
to the world outside.
We can feel the tension,
being intensified.
See the people walking,
down the chaotic streets.
Doing a death march,
to desperate heart-beats.
Look and see the walls,
as they close in.
People trapped like rats,
and stretched too thin.
But we are alone now,
just you and me.
No one else is here,
it’s as quiet as can be.
We’ve waited so long to get here,
and life is way too fast.
Let’s enjoy the wonderful moment,
because it could be our last.
Alone in an Empty Room
By Hawk O’Brian
The room is now quiet,
all the voices have gone.
No more reasons to laugh,
no one left to sing a song.
The darkness surrounds me,
I’m beginning to feel it’s chill.
It steals away my joys,
and takes away my will.
I have nothing left,
I have reached my end.
No one left to love me,
no one who is a friend.
In the darkness is despair,
and it eats at my soul.
With every minute it gets worse,
and it’s taking its toll.
Everything I was, is dying,
and I’m just a hollow shell.
With nothing left inside me,
I’ve been condemned to hell.
My sins have been revealed,
and my weaknesses are now known.
There’s no reflection in the mirror,
nothing left to be shown.
The darkness consumes me,
and fills the hollow void.
I feel the anger, and sadness,
all happiness has been destroyed.
Now, if you should ever,
look upon my face…
the person I once was,
is gone with out a trace.
He is now gone,
his soul has been consumed.
What remains is an empty shell,
sitting alone in this empty room
Turned To Dust
By Hawk O’Brian
This is dedicated to Gisselle. It’s because of her, I’m still here.
You found me when
I had fallen down,
then picked me up
from off the ground.
When all the pain
had taken it's toll,
you put the light
back in my soul.
After all the things
that we’ve been thru…
I never meant
to hurt you.
I tried too hard
to hold on,
and fix the things
that went wrong.
You knew the pain
behind my eyes,
showed me the truth
behind the lies.
And through it all
you were my friend,
you kept me strong
until the bitter end.
Tears hit the floor, I’m broken inside.
It seems that love is like a suicide.
You gave me strength to love and trust,
When everything had turned to dust.
