Derrick Andrews Poems

My selfish, blind ignorance, may cost me the best,

Such a long journey, such a strenuous quest,
...

Memories of smiling faces,
Life and death now trading places,
You'll always be here, to me,
Only difference now, is that you're free,
...

A glance back at the past,
Even then it was fake,
We were not meant to last,
You're one giant mistake,
...

What is this strange feeling?
This meek, suddle emptiness,
It seems not to be healing,
To me, but none the less,
...

As life goes on I can do nothing but shout,

from the pain and the torture, my anguish rings out,
...

Everyday of my life, grows exceedingly harder,

My legs have grown weak, I can't go any farther,
...

Loneliness,
This hollow shell,
This silent bliss,
This brand new hell,
...

I lay, nonchalantly and acceptingly, upon a plain of fire.
Pain is all I know, all I feel.
I watch my wounds appear and heal instantaneously as if I were some distorted, human lava lamp.
Suddenly, through the veil of heat, a blurry silhouette shimmers in the distance.
...

Staring at my mirror, displeased and distraught,

reminiscing upon all the battles ive fought,
...

This feeling,
My suffering,
Not healing,
Just muffling,
...
