I miss the ocean
The solitude of sand shaded by moonlight
Washed over by whispering waves
I sat alone beneath that starless sky
But at least the ocean made music for me
And I could gaze out towards infinity
Now there is nothing
Only walls and silence
Will it stop?
Does it ever stop?
My mind's tired but I just can't sleep
My body's aching but it just can't rest
As I feel that familiar void seeping in
A dark cloud that suffocates my lungs
And I'm feeling like a third wheel again
And I'm feeling unlovable again
And there's no rhyme or reason...
Hey all, hope you're doing well and keeping safe. I'm Adhamm, and I've been writing for most of my life. It's mostly been short stories and poems, which you may have seen posted here before. But I've always wanted to write a novel. I've gone through several ideas, characters, stories, and...
Dedicated to the people I love, who have made my life worth living. Thank you.

You'll only miss them when they're far away
When they're out of sight, out of reach
When you're trying to fall asleep across the sea
You'll only miss them when you have to leave
And there are too many words you didn't say
I wanted to write you something
But I forgot what it was
A song for us to sing
Or a wordless chorus to hum?
It might've just been another lengthy list
Of feelings, activities, and passions to share
Another bullet left unread to burn on my wrist
Another moment frozen with no one to care
But...
What horrors stalk the sleep of the sleepless?
Visions of a world on fire and men in masks
Puddles of gasoline spreading the flame
A black corridor and a horrible sound
The walls closing in all around
The vast depths of the ocean as they swallow you whole
Your body paralyzed as wild creatures...
All it takes is one
One day, one person, one moment
To make this Hell we reaped worth it
The burn scars and the cuts
The mud and blood in the rut
Breakdowns in the darkest corner
Pain born from a crown of thorns
One girl to see something in me
One thing that's worth loving
One heart to connect...

"I love everything about you," you said to me
"The way you walk, the way you talk
I love how your eyes look into mine
How it never fails to spark that flame in me
That flame that makes me lust, that flame that drives my pen to write
Ink draining from the tip, filling a page with sweet poetry...
The best thing about life is the hope you'll find love someday
The worst thing about life is when that day never comes
There were so many things I wanted to do
If only I could've met you
I wanted to see the stars with someone
Watch them glisten and reflect in your eyes
Backs on the grass, hands...
It's over.
Don't say it, I know it's over
The stone that tipped the scale
The flowers that grew far too frail
All together now, all in the past now
All drowned out by the rain
Are you still in pain?
We have dreams when we're younger
All the places we'd like to go
The people we want to get...
If only for a day,
If I could have my way
The clouds would part
The snow would melt
This frigid winter would come to an end
And the birds could sing free once again
If only for a day,
If I could have my way
The ice around my heart would melt too
Someone would come along and hold me close...
I've been going around in circles lately
Gnawing at the ugliest parts of me
Trying to chew off whatever I can't stand
Let the sun blacken and blot
Let an icy Hell stretch out over land
The end of the world is en route
The seas shift and stir
These old scars burn and sting
The blood-black bile...
Little girl came down from the 13th floor
Just 14 years old, gone faster than that
Her limbs in all the wrong directions
Her school uniform once white, now red
A lady came down from the 3rd floor
Face like hers before it mixed with concrete
"Oh dear, what happened?" she asked with a curious...
A conceptual collection of poems, dealing with the themes of God, love, loneliness, and depression.
The first thing I've written in years that I feel even a little bit proud of.
Thank you for reading.

Are you feeling all alone?
Does it seem the world just shuts you out?
Do you hear God laughing as he pulls his wicked strings,
And the puppets on stage all amble away from you?
Does your soul cry for a mate,
Does your heart long for some warmth,
Do your frozen veins thaw at the slightest hint of...
There's a man at my doorstep
Who says he's got something for me
Who says he can fix all my wounds
Who says he'll help me let go of my sins
And be free of the chains that hold me back
He tells me he's the only one left in this world
Who still wants to give me a chance
If I just let him in
If I...
