Richard Pygott’s Poems2001 - 2007

A Bridge Too Far

This bridge which lies before me, I cannot cross.Even at best fall from grace,So I took the challenge,Spreading these arms like wingsAnd so I descended, and thenThe world stood stillImages of babies, Womenfamily, and father when he was taken illHanging, suspended in mid-air, Like SomeoneHad stopped a clock, then as if by magicLife began again, Tick followed TockAnd as my head neared the floorI began to pick up speed, and spreadThese arms wide like an eagle, or so It seemed, much higher now than before,Looking down at my shell, shattered on the floor.My wings now, not so longThey could not carry me to my destination, Only to death, where I belong.Walking upon huge white clouds, Daring to go where only angels treadAnd the stark realization, A Bridge Too FarNow I’m Dead, Dead, Dead.10/05/03

A Poem About Rhodes

When the sun goes down, where do I want to be, I want to be around you, When she goes down, I feel like I want to be, inside of you, when the sun goes downI wonder if I’m going to be able to touch you, Caressing your face,when the sun goes downone last night of the embrace

A Sadness

A Sadness by Richard Pygott 24/11/05 13:03

never before have I felt this sadness inside, part of me has departed to the heavens, part of has died, this, I never could have pictured, in my worst nightmares, I never saw it coming, that’s what makes me so scared, the future is bleak my friend, when will this uncertainty end?

Alcoholic Motorway

A poison so sweet, yet subtleCan you stand it, drink it, neck it?"Your a man aren’t ya lad?What ya got brains or muscle?"Just a few more won’t hurt, will it?The people you went to school with,Your friends crowded aroundYou want to stop, You know you've reached your limit.How much more are you going to push it?Your friends shouting out aloud,All synchronized, gathering momentumAnd now also a small crowd.And "Down it, Down it, Down it"Down it goes, Drown your sorrowsYour pains, Wade knee deep in your woesYour friends are sadly no longer with us,After that tragic night"Just one more mate, You'll still be able to drive, It will be alright"If only we'd have known,What would happen that night.The smell of burning metal,My dreams full of defected recollections,The reason, when sleep creeps upon meI cannot settle.The shouts, the screamsRaging in my head like a boiling kettleReady to explode, my soul, myMind racked with guilt, ready to implode.And as we crashed intoThe central reservation on the motorway,We come to the matter which has eaten away at meThe most since, even though it was my fault..I was the only one to walk away

All Because Of You

All Because Of You

All because of you,I can now see through,This barren place I call homeI can see youYou’re more beautiful than everPromise me you’ll be with me foreverEverything changes,Everything stays the same,I can’t believe how foolish I was beforeWhat I had was so lameI did all my best to smile,It now means nothingYour are my everythingMy reason for beingMy reason for livingIts strange how I fell in love with you soYour were there all alongNow I’ve got you, I’ll never let goBefore you, I was going nowhereAs confused and puzzled as a newborn childBut everything’s clear now,I can see through this barren heart,You fill it with pure joy and ecstasy,You bring clarity to life,A manifestation of my dreamsYou love me, for who I am

All I Can Do

All I can seem to do,. is sit here quietly, in the wilderness of home and think of you, how beautiful you are to me, and how I feel so alone, if this place was yours, id ask you to come home, the distance is so long, I cant run my fingers across your face it seems so wrong. Id never let anything of such beauty go to waste....

All Men Are Equal

All Men Are Equal by Richard Pygott

surrounded by pain, trapped in a world of hate, the majority suffer, only the minority gain.They no nothing of hurt, hungera bleeding heart, they know nothing of pain.and yet we are all "equal"as men of this earth,equal in that we are men,but nothing could be furtherfrom the truth

An Angels Love

An Angels Love  

Even though the time we spend together is short,I savor every moment as if it were our lastIt pains me every time I have to leave youWhen I come to see you, it’s also an escape for meEscape from the demons, my demonsDemons of past, present and futureThe train station, smell of stagnantDecaying hard cold metalThe train’s shriek like creatures in despair,Reminding me only too well,Of where I came from,And where I must returnIts pure agony without you by my side,You bring so much peace to my lifeSo much, you would never understandYou make the voices, the demons, and the evilLeave my soul, for a short timeWith you I am free, unchained from my prisonI am looking for him,For he has stopped answering my callMy cries for help, unheardThe darkness creeps upon me in the nightLurking by my bedside, taunting meCreeping like an evil weed, trying to consume my soulMy dreams are so evil,Evil isn’t even anywhere near, it is just a wordAn image speaks a thousand of them,The things I have seen are beyond words,A passenger in a boat constructed of yellow boneCrumbling at touch, slowly soaking up the bloodWhich the boat floats within, a river of bloodThe banks made of living flesh, twitching pinkDemons drinking the blood of fallen angels,Not even god has president hereA tunnel appears, darkness ensuesForever lasting darkness,I wait for the glimpse of light,The light of hope, love and happinessIt never comes,

He doesn’t care anymore...4/3/02

Anger Turned To Hate (for Porridge)

Anger turned to hate, Hate turned to this blade, The cold metal penetrating your skin, I push as hard as I canTill it goes all the way in.I’m gonna cut you, to near death, Severe your arteriesTill there’s no blood left.Rip out your heart ,While your screaming,Make your take a bite of it,While its still beating,Your like a cancer,A flesh eating diseaseI’m gonna make sure your dead,Aint takin no chances,I’m taking this blade till the end,Carve out your knee caps,Till you cant stand,No heart, No Legs,Till your proper fucked,I’m gonna kill till you cant beg,For mercy,Which you aint gonna get,Killing you is the beginning,I’m gonna fuck your corpse,Come at you in the hospital,And pillage the Morgue,I’m gonna whip that shit outAnd fuck you some more,You betrayed meAnd that’s the worse you could a doneThat why I cut you up with this knifeAnd not kill you with this gun

Another Sleeping Pill

as the rain patters on the window sill, the grey mundane days, reaching to numb the pain, another sleeping pill, the postman’s late again, the TV is bleary, soldiers, armies, ready to kill, everyday is grey, dead and dreary, we all keep robotically existing, doesn’t really matter which way as the rain patters on the window sill, the grey mundane days, reaching to numb the pain, another sleeping pill

Apparitions

Apparitions

People, some never go awayThey are always there,Even in the darkness they still exist,Never to be seen again, But they are always watching you,Sharp, Beady, Pointy demonic eyelids fluttering,Demons, forever demons, watching,Preying upon the young and innocentI have seen these demons,Like a curse, a thorn in my dark imagination,Apparitions I dare not speak of, they come to me,In the darkness,Outlined dark, demonsPoised like vultures within my resting chamberPerched, cloaked with black and bloodI would reach for the light, but it is too darkI cannot see the light,I want to see the light,The light has no regard for me at all,The ever-evading light,The light of love and peace.

Beautiful

-Beautiful- by Richard Pygott 11/06/03 16:03

I cant seem to make you see,Your are everything I've ever wantedYou are beautiful to me,I'll tell you 10 times a day,10 times a day,You'll smile and look away,What more can I do or say?I can’t seem to make you seeYou’re beautiful to meYour face, your eyes, your noseYour mind scarred and all becauseTheir vicious words, made you doubtYour beauty, but not me.I can’t seem to make you seeYour everything, I could ever wish for, Your beautiful to me.

Belonging to nothing

Talking, walkingAlone, exiledBelonging to nothingAnswering to no-oneUnwanted, unlovedSocially unacceptableLooked down uponNot spoken toDisgraced,People walk byIgnorance consumes themAll alone,Few take pity uponLying in the streetOn the cold, pungentStagnant floor'Can you spare some change?'No answer, nothingFew recollect seeing himLoneliness, soul consumingThe only thing to look forward to,Death, Sleep, No painFalling into a holeSleep takes over,The darkness,Unconscious, Not from exhaustionFrom pain,A life of painAwakening,Face like tar,Sticky,Face coated in rotting vomitLike honey drippingA fur covering his feet,A hound sleepingThe mutt awakens, looks upGetting to their feet

Appeasing his solitudeIn a prison with no barsThey wander, aimlesslyPlace to placeTown to town,Street to street,Watching the rat raceThe homelessThe race of observersYet not observedNor acknowledgedThe blanket peopleDraped in ragsA cloak of invisibilityVery existence deleted,From memory, time and spacePeople, not a penny to spareLet alone a thoughtMemory, timeThe dog trailsLagging behind,The seasons changingThe summer joins them In the struggleThe cold not so bitingNights more bearableGlowing warmthPeaking through the treesShimmering sunlightBoth lost within each others eyesThe mutt’s eyes re-reflecting the sunThe woman lost within themHer only love,Her only companionEternal guardianThe coldness returnsLeaves fall from treesThe sun, packed away earlierThe dark drawing in closerLike a shroudThe light retreatingHer face gets darker,

Her face, thinnerThe dogs ribs alsoDay turns into nightNight turns into dayThe cold, bitingLeaving its markShe awakens,The dog does notThe sun gleaming throughColdness that chokes the airExtinguishing any warmthEyes squintingA teardrop emergingTrickling,A one drop waterfallUpon the fur coatColder than the dog itselfFur waving in the wind,InvoluntarilyCaressing the mutt for hoursDead, dead, deadGrasping the fur,DesperatelyHolding, clenchingHer spindly fingers like a combWithering handsEroded by the wet, windEating away at her fleshShe sits waitingPeople passing her byIgnoredUnwanted,Unloved,DisregardedPeople, become a blurA hazy visionPassing left to rightRight to leaveA figure appearsFrom the centreDressed in a blackPerched upon a fence

Like a bird of prey,A black vulture waiting for death to arriveNot fully aware of our realityBegins to approachThe figures coat billowing like wings in the windShe feels warmth,Warmth like never beforeShe knows that face,Yet cannot recollect it from anywhereHe kneels, whispers in her earAgreeing to accompany himNot sure where they are to goBut she trusts him,Yet can’t explain whyShe stops suddenly,Casting her view,Back to her bed,Her dogResting,Stands upRuns towards her,She has to look back againShe sees her shellDeath has come for herIt is her turnDeath has brought her freedomBelonging to nothing04/10/02

Blade

-Blade- by Richard Pygott 15/02/03

It has come to this,Silver shining seamless bladePerforating my skin,With such accuracyMy life-force drainingThe industrial coldnessPenetrating my soulMy thoughts at endThe crimson stained tiles,My wet soggy hair,No one knows who I amMy mind lost in despair,This route I have chosen,Love is never just or fair,A blessing and a curse,A disease which we must all bear

Bringing Out The Worst In Me

-Bringing Out The Worst In Me- by Richard Pygott 22/11/03 7:33pm

You always seem to bring out the worst in me, I always try and be the best that I can be, But when I'm with you, Its as if I’m blind, I cannot seeRight from wrong, Wrong from rightWhenever your around, a cloud of darkness consumes meI can see all but the truth, the light.Although my mind cannot comprehend change, It seems strange that the whole while I’m with you, It does nothing but rain.You always seem to bring out the worst in me, I always try and be the best that I can be, But when I'm with you, Its as if I’m blind, I'm searching for the answer within meIv lost count of how many times I’ve criedNow I find myself moving on slowly, You no longer bring out the worst in meSitting, waiting for a new son to rise.

(Son is spelt as it is, for a reason, think about.)

Broken Toys

Broken Toys - By Richard Pygott 24/05/04 03:44am

As the wallpaper creeps offThe ever shrinking walls,A box of broken toys somewhere onThe cold hard wooden floor,Splintering with grief as The air is choked with My mothers screams and calls,A young blonde boy, his big brown eyes,Far too intelligent and wise,

For just a blonde brown eyed boy,Sitting quietly in the wreckageOf the actions of his fatherPlaying with his box of broken toys

Burned, Desire, Smile

Burned, Desire, Smile By Richard Pygott 8/12/05 03:04am

when I touched your face,you turned and looked, placed your fingers on mineyou took me forth to the skywe took flight to paradiseas our bodies became entwined,deeper inside our desire,burning with the time,like a candle in the darkan everlasting fire.you then took flight,and flew away,I was left alone, on my own, I had to stay,an empty place next to me,where you used to lay,the last time I saw your faceno words had to be spoken,our smiles, said all we had to say.When you touch my face, you’re so beautiful; I could weepnow I wait for you...'till you wake me, from my sleepand I'll wait for you...let my smile be, yours to keep

Death Medication

-Death Medication- by Richard Pygott 26/08/03 16:16

Time heals nothingUnlike what people say,I carry on existing It really doesn’t matter which way,Walking wounded, dead on my feetAs I stumble with this inside of meI turn to go up your streetAlmost forgetting its no longer my fateyour body, so tender and sweetmy mind deteriorating at an alarming ratehumanity mocks me, fate laughing in my faceAs I lose my head in my handsSitting on the bricks and cold mortarConsidering her demands,This time I couldn’t lie to herIts time to walk away, For it was not her that so easily went astrayTime heals nothingUnlike what people say,I carry on existing It really doesn’t matter which way.

Diseased Literature

-Diseased Literature- by Richard Pygott 08/06/03

Her face, worn and wearyFrom the slow passage of time.Her beautiful face, nowShowing signs of ageingShe wanders how she ever let it pass her by.No band on her finger, no white dressNo one waiting at homeWhen she returns,Lost without love, Lonely and faultless.Wounds which do not show, run the mostDeep beneath, within her in some darkPain filled crevice, Lost within the wordsOf an Enduring book, But how will she endure, nothing will everReplace the love that they took.Away, gone for good

Dying Star

-Dying Star- by Richard Pygott 16/06/03 14:59

I’m as lonely as the sky, the bright bright stars, the clouds.No love, no moneyCan stop me, from the way I'm feeling insideMy heart is lost, my soul sold.No woman by my side, I look to what remains of my life,Death is on its way, feeling old,If only I'd said yes that day,I might have you by my side, my wife.A family, a house, and A life I could be proud to call my own.Now I live in piles of refuse, a broken home.No children running, shouting aloud.I’m as lonely as the sky, the bright bright stars, and the clouds.The joy from this heart is gone; Trapped in the crevice between life and death, The coldness begins to fill the room, Sucking away any warmth in my heart that was left.Shivering vigorously, it’s so lonely and cold, I can see my breath, the icinessConsuming my sanity, my flesh.Now at this point, this very moment in front of your eyes, My death.Soul, heart, life, joy, purpose, gone, I have left.I’m as lonely as the sky, the bright bright stars, and the clouds. The end of the huge adventure, which beckons us all, death.

Easiest Thing

telling you I love you, would be the easiest thing I wish I could see your face, if I could grown wings, I would say it too, I wish I could see your face, your so far away, yet inside me, you have a place and in this place is your name, into my heart I took you in, your name? It’s....  ;)

Failing

so you come to realize your love for me is flailing / waning,the same mistakes by my hand yet again,same old story,I seem to be the maker of my own failing,there are no words to say how much I adore,but my words seem to fall on deaf ears,like blood splattering on my floor,for this knife is sharper than I,crimson tiles asking my whyI could not give anymore,

False Truths

-False Truths- By Richard Pygott

There is a time and the place for truth,Yet truth isn’t always correct, Just peoples perception of things in front of them, Truth is what people individually believe,One mans truth is another’s lie. And if you are true to yourself, Other peoples perceptions of you, Are meaningless, Be true only to yourself, For if you are, You shall be beautiful forever.

Far & Wide

The feeling I get when I’m with you is like no otherPure ecstasy coursing through my veinsWhen I hold you wrap you in my armsI don’t want anyone else but you, for you are like no otherWhen everything goes wrong, I look in your face and everything’s ok, You soothe meAn eerie sense of calm comes over meWhen I realized I loved you, I lost my best friendBut its ok, I gained something more, a loverYou...You were my best friend,There all along, right under my noseI was looking so far, I didn’t realize what I wanted was so closeBut your no longer are close, you’re far awayBecause of this, I feel great sorrowI miss you more than words can sayI love you more than life itself02/10/02

Fate At The Gate

I can feel it though, fate,awaiting,yet again, it lurks in the shadows,mocking and stalking me,every minute of every day,awaiting its encore,with bated breath it lies in wait,deciding my fate,to make me once more walk away,walk out on paradise edens,for that’s where I will meet my fate,to nowheredown at the gate..

Fatherless

-Fatherless-by Richard Pygott

His face,MineHis eyes,MineAlike, but yetSo differentHis mistakesI am his price,No son shall be there,When she is goneHe chose her,Not me,I was but 1yr old,Fatherless,Mother broken in two,Agony seepingFrom her pores,You were never thereNever a hug to spareA kiss, for your sonNothing at all, but moneyYour currency,Of a spurious loveAll you had to do,Was say those 3 words,That cost you a son,I have no father,No-one can replace,The Void within me,The space whereYour love should resideAs simple a thing as saying"I love you"Would have prevented,This heart from dyingMore times than once

First Love

-First Love- by Richard Pygott 11/06/03 15:47

I still love you,But I'd never take you back,Ever since you became a whore, a sleep aroundA slag,Still no replacement,Now I know what my mum saidAbout your first love,And how your heart feels dead.Part of my life, my soulI’ll never get back.It was my fault, I can accept that, But I hear you talking about meLike you want me back?You always put me through this shit,Spiteful hate spurned from love,As much as I want you to haveMy heart, I got to keep itIt ain't the damage you did to meThat keeps it just about going,I find myself at the crossroads of life and deathEveryone’s moving too fast,While I just keep slowing,I’m lost, I've lost my first loveI have another one to love now,But at what cost,If it all goes wrong, I wouldn’t know what to do,But just in case you were wonderingMy first love, My heart will never stop loving you

Gatecrasher (It Will Always Be With You)

As my body starts to shiverThe hairs on my neck ascend,I head towards the dance floorWaiting for the deck spinner to deliver,Praying this night in heavenWill not ever end,Peace and bliss all around me,Silence, all is stillThe beat drops,Paradise injected into my veinsBody moving, mind, it never stopsNothing else matters,Another one of those crazy nightsAnd daze

Genetic Disease

-Genetic Disease- by Richard Pygott 24/08/03  18:49

Hope trapped within these corridorsOf ventrically controlled warriors,Bodies passing like blood,Glancing without a care, Everything in the world can come to no goodFor you heart with me you cannot shareOf course I was to blame,Wasn’t that always the case?Things in my world will never be the sameIl never forget you, you looks, your hairSometimes I can still remember how you taste,I’m trapped within these corridors,Around me, my fallen fellow warriors, No peace too be had from god, no dove.This disease is genetic, We all suffer from it, For the, disease is love.

My soul,As deep as the worlds blue,As deep as the deepest canyons,As high as the worlds brown,Echoing the words from your lips,Repetition, over and over,Those words I so long to hearEcho, echo, echoDeeper than deepWiser than wiseYour love echoes throughout meMy soul, skyward boundThe great gates awaitingJudgment to be madeLooking upon your faceFrom high aboveI’m always with youWhen those eyes of yours restI’m there beside youProtecting you,My echo is with youThe residue of my soulLike a mutant stainUpon space and timePure emotion throughoutMy carrier is no moreNo shell upon my backMy vessel has ceased to functionHow can this be?How can life just end?When my love for youIs stronger than god himselfBut I fear death no moreFor I am with the angelsWatching over youI’m your angelYour eternal protectorForever watching, waiting

For you to returnTo my side,To be together with me once moreFor all eternity.13/10/02

Good Old Days

Good Old Days

I miss those daysI miss those nightsBoth of us,Blissfully unaware of our future togetherDancing at every opportunityLying, on the sofasWatching people lost controlJust talking,Dancing at every opportunity,Why does love seem to complicate things?Why can’t we be like we were?I’m happy being with youI just miss,Dancing at every opportunityBut now the future has changedI miss being with you at every opportunity9/10/02

He Will Be The End Of Me

-The End - by Richard Pygott 09/05/03

This chain around my neckBroken.My heart, once so, now whole againAs free as the wind, we now areBut nothing will come close, To the pain we've both tasted.The day it was over, into a dark holeI descended.Swilling that rotten fluid, Until my brain was rottingAnd half wasted.Bitterness consumed me slowly, Words I'd never spoken before, Or actions I'd carried out, Never before so coldly.Your were the source of my pain, hate and loveAnd yet I was the one who threw it away, All because of my insatiable lust.I look in the mirror, and do not recognizeMy own face, my own worst enemyCome to seek revenge,He will be the end of me

Letting Go

Can you feel me letting go, out of all the things we thought we knew wading deep in an ocean of tears, such pain and woe. This world is now broken, when we first met, my heart and soul were set alight, I was

awoken, but now everything’s changed for the better? I cant handle seeing you in person, so I’m writing this letter, I never imagined things would happen like this, I always thought you’d be the first, and last person I would ever

kiss, but now your in the arms of him, and me in hers, broken away from our own self inflicted curse, from the start we had already constructed our corpses, contained in a painful dark hearse, through no fault of our own, things just went wrong,.. we have gone separate paths and grown,

You have made me strongerStronger than you'll ever knowBut I cant take this neglect any longerThis is the hardest thing I've ever had to do,To tell you I no longer love you,The statement within itselfBreaks my soul in two,For I know how muchYou love me so,And your heart, I don’t want to breakBut this I cannot take much longer,My heart is bent, broken,Unknowing what to do,I only wish I could say those words and mean them'I love you'As much as you do,

Man Boy

-Man Boy- by Richard Pygott 14/08/03 17:14

What if I were to tell them allHow much I've Cried, Died and Lied.I don’t know and have Forgotten who I really am, A boy trapped in a man.My boundaries I cannot exceed, Desperately clutching at hope, Knowing all along I will not succeed.My dreams limitless, future events lurkingTo which I am only witness,I can see her now, In her long flowing dressBut I fear the man next to her, will not be me, I’m just observingLonging to caress, Her sweet faceBut I’m not good enough for this world,The docile rats in their infinite race,I cannot stand this world,Of hunger and hate, I need to leave this placeAs I stand afoot on the ground,Screaming and shouting my hurt silently out loud.

I sit in pain,whilst you do not answer the phone,I cant believe this is happening again,I know you may be sleeping,but I fear you are not alone,as I sit awake weeping,blood dripping from my eyes,clots of hurt seeping,my thoughtless words and lies,drove you to his bed,above me vultures are circling,an empty carcass approaching dead

Metal Motorway

-Metal Motorway- by Richard Pygott 20/03/03

Cylindrical Metal Motorway,Metallic in every sensePiercing my skin, The motorway of HeavenPumping through my veins.Clashing with my blood, Dancing with the devil, Peaking, reaching my brain.My soul no longer restricted, My mind set free, The only problem, This syringe will kill me.

Mum & Dad

What drives people apart? Matters of lust, of the heart?I look back at my life,Back at my mum and dad, When he took her for a wife,It makes me so sad,How nearly everyone I knows parentsEnded up like that,I hope that’s not what I do,Worst fear I got is ending up like my dad,When you left my mum, you left me too.My mother a child herself, left to raise me, I can’t remember a lot, but enough to hate you.When you'd drop me off at home, My mother going thorough hell, lost in her loss, But it wasn’t your home, didn’t matter anymoreNot your problem, a wife you left, but at what cost?

No closure, no goodbyeNothing at allJust love turnedInto fiery rage and hurtFeelings inside, the same as beforeJust doesn’t fall upon your ears anymoreDoesn’t mean I don’t still love youI don’t, I hate youPart of me diedWhen the part of you I lovedDied too

2002-11-15 10:30:37

No Part

it doesn’t matter if you or I lied,the plain matter of the fact is that you let me die,sleeping on the top of a disused block,I hope my message to you, is enough for you to take stock,you left me when I needed you most,that is a price even I shouldn’t have paid,no matter what the cost,and on here the concrete I laid,my head full of shame,for what id done, for what id became, a cost there is no way I should’ve paid,its obvious you left for him,the images of you and my best friend,a happiness that had peaked,haunt me forever, you were always weak, you just gave in,you making love to him I just cant take,your destiny is doomed, your future isn’t destiny,its what you make, and yet you murdered me in the process,not alone, but awake, I think of your faceits so hard like a command from above,you were my hardest test,for I cannot believe you were the one that I loved,bitter like a lemon now ,you were the poisonous zest,I should have known better,you were the true demon all along and yet,you seem to justify all this to yourself,and I know that on your heart you would bet,that its for the best,in your heart and mind its justified,that was alright for me to be alone,for me to die,I keep asking myself the question why?and yet you pretend and get on with life,and I cannot,

to think I considered to taking you for a wife,the torment and the chaos,is obvious that would have consumed my life with strife,I’m glad me and you had a Greek recess,for you will be no part of my success,

Old Picture Frame

I find myself looking through an old picture frame, images of past, still fresh, things will never be the same,why would you leave, why would you lie,without you I almost died,.I did all the silent talkingI never lied,

old picture frame, show me what you must,for others, I didn’t lust,I could love you forever , but,mine would never be enough

I find myself looking through an old picture frame,images of past,. Still fresh, things will never be the same, why would you leave, why would you lie, without you I almost died,i never lied,

One last glance, One final look upon you, Standing my final stance, I know you love me too, A strange world that allows this chance, One which cannot be taken, The price is not worth the riskBut what I would do, To be awoken by you, One last night, One last kiss.

why does everyone leave,alone and stranded I am left,suffocated beyond belief,I am left with no air to breathe,

trapped in my mind,in a world I cannot leave,how long will it take me to find?the reason for my suffocation,I’m left with no air to breathe,I have to learn and I have to try,to find the reason for this poison that riddles me inside,

why does everyone leave,alone and stranded I am left,suffocated beyond belief,I am left with no air to breathe,

trapped on the path to nowhere,soulless people greet me there,there stinging looks and stare,I have to learn, and I have to try,asking the eternal question,of how, when and why?my soul is full of wealth,I have to try to stop this feeling inside, for I can no longer hide,I have to be no one else but myself

why do I never leave,surrounded and stranded I am left,intoxicated beyond belief,I am left with no life to breathe,

The Great Curse

The Great Curse by Richard Pygott

love is a curse which afflicts us all, whether you like it or not, however invulnerable you think you are, it will eventually, wear down your defenses, and destroy what there is of your soul left.A cruel disease, passed on from god, they say that, to have loved, is better thatnot to have loved at all, I disagree.To have loved, and not be loved ever again,is more torture than the human soulshould be allowed to endure, it is true thatlove follows you around forever, but its pains,its heartache, its blood upon your chest,staining your soul for all time,it turns sane people crazy, time heals no one,not completely, some it helps, while othersit just, lingers in the air like a bad smellyou cant get enough of, forever in your presence,yet just beyond your vision,for those of us, whose heart was given fully to the first,there is no turning back, no redemption, no forgiveness,heart in tatters, soul in shreds, life in ruin,no escape, but for those who don’t love, don’t live.

The Lost Hours

The hours iv lost, The days I cannot recollect.All down to this liquorMy mind needs a rest, My body aches with the taste of it, My mind can’t cope with any more of it, Its straining beyond its boundariesSuccumbing to this poison.Infecting my soul, My mind isn’t soundMy liver aches, This glass of liquidMy savior, My escape, Yet when it wears offIt’s all the same.

Waiting By The Telephone

-Waiting By The Telephone- by Richard Pygott

All is quiet, all is still.The space inside your heartIs filling up, with something you can’t explain.Foundations cracking, unbearable pain.Only a few seconds now, before it travels up your back, Reaching your brain, your skull, and then, crack.Peaking, bitterness overflowing like a tap.Filling your veins, with vengeful thoughts, How much do you want them back?Hairs and souls alike, splitting like straw.Waiting by the telephone? For that call?The call never comes at all, yet you wait, Baited breath, for the inevitable, Could you reconcile, save it? Is it too late?Don’t let pride get in the way, Was it your fault?Were you the one that so easily went astray?Was it you? Was it them?Could you ever love them as you did, again?

What About Love (by Richard Pygott & Candace, Faithless)

I'm walking round like I’m dreaming,Just beneath my skin,.im screaminBut in my head,it all seems clear,I can never get out what I fearSuddenly, the space behind your eyes is filling up ,with something like peaceyour thoughts cease,And you give off this fake illusion, that can suddenly increaseBut I can see right through you, clear as the driven dayI know you so intimatly,Anger and MiseryThe very reason for my heart's fragilityIllusion and clearity,go hand in handFor my fake imageryHow will it be ,if u simply set me free, No more of this hunger ,can i stand.How can I move, if you don’t push meDo better than I can?Restore my ability, Break my fragilityTo hold my head high, To speak only truthWhere I used to lie, What about love?Goodbye to the enemyHello to the lover, It's been too longwhat about love, What about this?What about what we had, that I missWhat about dreams and the nights we used to shareCant believe I just had my last real kissIt’s your body next to mine I miss, The question, do you care?I ask, or try to dareI do no.Fields of fire pass the train, The sky is victorious,

But here comes the rainHere comes my hatredmy anger and painFriday is taking my home againAnd iv nothing but you on my mindAnd I walk and walk to nothing, But then its you I findThe grass is greener without the painI think that im changin, butIm just the sameMy sun is ascending again,. and iv nothing but you on my mindWhat about love

Who Am I?

if I could be anywhere at this moment,here is where I would not choose to be,everything in my life right here right now,my life, dreams and love have turned solventyou always reap what you sow,I always let true love pass me by,for the sake ad happiness of others,the answer to your question is probably why,I have no answer to your query,I wouldn’t even bother to worry,for all seems lost,especially my mind,who am I,I don’t know

Wilting Flower

from a deep sleep I thought I had awoken,but every time these eyes open,I arise heartbroken,your love your heart your warmth,away with you have you taken,lost in your own greed,for me you have no thought,the wreckage in which you sought,to justify your own happiness and guiltbut come spring, and you will begin to wilt,an ever dying flower, come winter,in the darkness is where you should cower,
