Lucas Pate Poems

Let the yelling,
fall upon deaf ears.
You don't deserve this.
They build you up,
...

'What a guy' you say
Playing it cool by day
You won't be around when it comes to be May
...

Temptation swirls, thick in the air
You meet it as if you were dared

Have you forgotten your last name?
...

Balance, equilibrium
Lone gone
Incapable of returning
No longer at a state of rest
...

Long days, grow cold,
Sleepless nights, grow old.
Sunrise, never duller
Sunset, lacks color
...

The mist swirls thick in the night air
Footsteps fall upon pre-occupied ears
Focused on thoughts within
Streetlights blaze a path
...

When you said 'I'm down, show me something beautiful', I came alive
I was feeling well
You were just as I remembered
You gained a British accent
...

I'll continue to hide behind this half grin and the few whiskers on my chin
It's the look you said I pull off best
Another summer is drawing to and end
Days are growing shorter
...

The precipice, the fall.
Your freedom, My death.
the burden of what i've done,
has grown to strong.
...

I am the ocean,
there's a storm dwelling in me.
Looking for my next victim,
who could it be?
...
