Coffins Full Of Blood

April 7, 2019October 21, 2020 Leo Diarmuid GreyLeave a comment

We tried to love everything and it all died anyway
We didn’t try to run but escaped anyway
Everything not saved was lost
Here we are, there we are, where we are

We tried to curl but we couldn’t bend that way
We didn’t try to curve but got moved that way
Everyone not loved was lost
Be they dead, are we dead, were we dead

Bodies stuck in the sky
Dream catcher
We’re stuck on the ground
Heart snapper

I think my sisters are dead
But my brothers are all good
We dug up all the graves
The coffins full of blood
We sprinted through the streets
We fractured through the forest
And on the highest ground
We watched the end of the world

We decided to run when the night turned red
We had decided to repent, but we were red
All of us woke, the only awake
They can’t get up, they won’t get up, they’re not one of us

We decided to search but we found nothing
We had decided to excurse, but nothing
All of it wasted, dissolving
Apocalypse, Apocalypse, Apocalypse

It’s a blood moon every night
Heart shaped
Our skin glows scarlet
Dream raped

Everything crumbles as I walk I’ll never be here again
The world I delved into dissipates
The sacrifices I have made
Go to heaven with a smile on your face
I’ll be lost

We know it’s ending it’s ending we know it’s ending feel it ending, it’s ending
Just keep running keep running it’s running we’re running it’s ending we’re running
World is ending and the world is on fire the world is ending trees on fire
It’s the end of the world

Oh Liam,

The times I’ve wanted to text you

Thought I might end up with you

Certainly wanted to,

Don’t think I deserved you

Couldn’t have been more clear-cut

High fives that end in a hug

A smile over a coffee cup

Should’ve asked you out,

Don’t know what that was all about

I think I nearly did –

But then you got sick –

And what I wanted for you became not me

But for you to realise everything you could be

Lee-Yum

You’re as beautiful as the words that you sing uh-m

Lee-Yum

You mean so much to me, oh

Liam

Never give up(,) no matter (what) you see, love

I never had the chance to meet you,

But I can’t deny I’ve seen you,

Certainly wanted to,

Really didn’t mean to

Faint smell of felt and lead in the air,

Blue eyes and auburn facial hair,

A voice as soft as is fair,

I wish that I had asked you out,

So long as you had heard me out,

I think we could’ve worked it out…

I was so worried when you got sick,

Felt the block of cyber, slip,

Worried about you everyday(yuh)

Lee-Yum

You’re as beautiful as the words you sing-um

Lee-Yum

You mean so much to me, oh

Liam

Never give up(,) no matter (what) you see, love

Oh, Liam

You’re exactly what this world needs-um (Liam)

Because you’d NEVER give up on ME-no(ah) (Liam)

Through DARKNESS, THROUGH THE TREES (Liam)

Don’t ever give up on him

(Liam)

Oh Liam,

The times I’ve wanted to text you

Thought I might end up with you

Certainly wanted to,

Sad to see you leaving

Echo

June 29, 2018 Leo Diarmuid GreyLeave a comment

The crystals shake in their chambers

Vibrations from my voice

I don’t care if this cliff

Gives

Aurora Borealis

Is nowhere to be seen

She has lost her sight

And mind

Patterns don’t exist

If love cannot breathe

Our love against the cold

I couldn’t win alone

We found hands to hold

Reaching in the dark

Paper hearts

Playing with fire

It’s just one more day

Not a lifetime

My spirit watch it sing

As it whistles through past times

A summer bursting with colour

Skyscrapers and blue quays

Death had never been duller

Then night stretched from under
(Northern Lights Erupt)

(Echo comes into effect)

We found hands to hold

Reaching in the dark

Paper hearts

Playing with fire

Every star

Every wish

Only you

We’d found hands to hold

Holding through the dark

I couldn’t fight off the cold, alone

One set of footprints in the snow

Paper hearts

Playing with fire

Glaciers

*Peacefully paced, footsteps in snow*

…

*Cease*

“If I…”

…

“Let go?…”

…

“Let go…”

…

“If…”

…

“Why?…”

…

“Promised…”

…

*Holding back angry tears*

“Liar…”

…

“Why?…”

…

“Snow?”

…

“Blood?”

…

“Bleeding…”

…

“…Snow…”

…

“..Then why are you letting me go?”
“I don’t know what else to do.”

“So that’s it then? Just leave me because you’re confused?”
“I don’t want to hurt you anymore.”
“This is hurting me. This is the worst possible thing you could do to me?!”

“I’m sorry.”

“I love you.”
“…I love you too”

When I left you, you were young

But now you’re older you’ll –

Know when to run, and when to love

(Careless laughter),

Probably end up, with a happy ever after

You’re now so wise, in disguise

And you won’t ever again be tricked. By. Lies

Feel your father at your side

Couldn’t be there again this time

Learn what I meant

Learn why I left

I can’t let. You. Stay. Young.

It wasn’t easy, letting you go

But you need to respect that

you’ll never know, my sorrow

(Dad’s disaster)

The harder you look, harder the answer

I gave you life, I gave you strife

Now repay me with with your future life

Feel your father at your side

Couldn’t be there again this time

Learn what I meant

Learn why I left

I can’t let. You Stay-

BURN

Shape life over a dozen times

Move right, only to,wards light –

Freedom kind and freedom wise

Be shy and be alight

Run faster than the night

Love harder than you fight

Stop. Asking. Why.

Back To You

March 12, 2018 Leo Diarmuid GreyLeave a comment

I’m older now, but I’m still wrong

I’m bolder now, I’ve still lost

Let me cry into midnight blue

I’ll find a way back to you

Find a way back to you

Find way back to you

Back, to, you

Step by, step once step back

Allow it in before you let it go

For its final time pretend it will be okay,

That it wont be gone alone

Step by, step once step back

It’s sorry you can’t see it anymore

Its given in to whats to be done

Pain took its life and it took you too

Stand by, stand tall stand up

Allow me in before you let me go

For his final time pretend he will be okay,

That he wont be gone alone

Stand up, stand tall stand strong

He’s sorry you can’t see him anymore

He’s given in to what he’s become

Pain took his life and it took yours too

And I’m falling, deeper than I’ve been before

And I’m sinking, lower than I’ve been before

Step by, step once, Step back

Falling down, deeper than I’ve been before

Stand by, stand tall, stand up

Sinking down, deeper than I’ve been before

Step by

Back to you

Step once

Back to you

Step back

Back to you

Stand by

Back to you

Stand tall

Back to you

Stand up

Back to you

Step Back

Back to you

Snowdrop Cliff

March 1, 2018March 5, 2018 Leo Diarmuid GreyLeave a comment

You don’t understand loneliness until you’ve exhausted someone who was nearly in love with you to the point of abandonment..

Arch my angels

White light..Late night…

Stepson…

I’M NOT

Snowdrop Cliff

My love may melt the snow here

“The snow is the cliff, my dear”

I have loved and lost a life here

“The life was never yours to lose, my dear”

I have come to leave my life here

“Don’t leave yourself because everyone else does, my dear”

Death and other angels

All weep in this spot

Edge of the cliff?

Worn and strained love

Love

Love…

(FLORENCE)

I’M NOT

Snowdrop Cliff

My snow may melt the love here

“You’re part of what you fear, my dear”

I have lost the life I loved here

“You’re looking in the wrong places, my dear”

I have left to come to life here

“Remember everything you’ve learned so far, my dear”

(Don’t mind if we never go)

(Never go home)

Fall into cloud

Sunder into shroud

Fall into The Grey

The snow city is so far away

(FLORENCE)

I’M NOT

LIAR

Fall into cloud

I’M NOT

Sunder into shroud

I’M NOT

Fall into The Grey

I’M NOT COMING BACK

The snow city is so far away

“I’M NOT COMING BACK FOR YOU”

…

The worst thing about leaving is nobody looking for you

Never let me go

It’s time to dye this snow red. Pour us into this cliff where our essence is strongest anyways. I’m here to empty you out of me. I’m here to empty us out of me.

All of the lies. When you said you would stop lying. You tried to, I know that.

You can’t force love.

“Can I disentangle us?” I wrote. You certainly weren’t there to. The fights we had, you’d vanish, gone, for days on end. You didn’t seem to care.

The breakups where you always expressed a desire to stay broken up. And I pushed for us.

I can’t force love.

The names you called me. The way you acted when you got drunk. “I’m sorry. I was flirting with him.” The promises you broke.

I trusted you with a bonding promise. I implored you to never break a promise while my hand held yours.

You broke them.

The memories. I helped you change environments – workspace, friends. I kept you alert, on your toes. I helped you tell your father you loved him on new years eve.

The standalone pieces of my heart, my heart, that I thought I’d found when I found you

I broke them.

Count yourself lucky that you aren’t stuck remembering all of the light times. I count you lucky that you get to act a fool and a victim after everything you’ve done to me.

I have never been easy, nor have I been clean, but I have and always will be a sacrificial, loyal and healing spirit. You, the only person to ever say different, cannot take that from me.

Snowdrop Cliff, I know who I am, I know where I stand.

I will never write about you again.

February Snow

February 11, 2018 Leo Diarmuid GreyLeave a comment

It’s been cold,

January snow

Ironic that for our favourite weather,

We are alone

I think of your cheeks,

Hot pink, burned from frost

Like settled ladybugs,

Lovewords that I have lost

You’re good at keeping warm,

And all I know is surviving through Winter

But you’re not safe where you are now,

And I’ll be dead before Easter

…

It’s still so cold,

February snow

Time not spent together,

Away from home

I think of your smile

Do you remember a time?

Anything at all?

Lovebirds that cannot chime

May your face wrinkle,

From the laughter someone gives you

May your hands find,

Someone to pull closer at night

May your hugs comfort,

As from Pooh

May your lifeline seek,

A succesful rhyme

…

I am so cold,

February snow

This snowdrop cliff

Never let me go

People Just Untie Themselves

January 30, 2018February 22, 2018 Leo Diarmuid GreyLeave a comment

Lights all lost, this snowdrop cliff,

Heroes gone, awake in the rain,

I have been abandoned, yet again

City below, forgotten feeling of love,

Cathedral where I cannot breathe,

Not safe enough to sleep

Fallen once, fallen twice,

Given up, I’ve Given in,

I should never (have) let you in

Wind, I need you to howl right now

I need to know, I need to hear

I can’t hear with him still in my ear

Just rush at me,

Push me out, knock me in, move me

Pass right through me

I am haunted by happiness

I can never let go of the past

Too much punishment, too fast

Always to be beaten dry,

Always on the end of a fist,

There is no saving me from this

Fallen once, Fallen twice

Given up, I’ve given in

You never (even) wanted in

Wind, I need you to howl right now

I need to know, I need to hear

I can’t hear with him still in my ear

Just rush at me,

Push me out, knock me in, move me

Pass right through me

You said you’d find me if I disappeared

Where am I? Where am I? Where am I?

I told you,

I deserve all the pain I’ve suffered

But I know he lied

I know he changed our position

I know now to always trust intuition

But I can’t help (but) listen

I can’t help it, I miss him

I need you,

Wind? I need you
