When Love Bleeds

When Love Bleeds

By Nomar Knight

How can I take a chance?

To find a loving romance

When I know all too well

The pain takes me to hell

Like a vampire when he feeds

That's when love bleeds

Nothing but fallen prey

Don't know what to say

As if I'm stuck in my seat

Stinking of rotted meat

Like a zombie as he feeds

That's how love bleeds

I'm no necromancer

Can't get up to become a dancer

No coming back to life

As if my chest holds a knife

Like a ghoul when he feeds

That's when love bleeds

Wish I knew what to do

So I could move on too

But reality bites

Won't reach new heights

So as the monster feeds

That's when love bleeds

March forward I'm told

Try to be bold

Meet someone new

But they haven't a clue

Inside me it feeds

That's why love bleeds

Darkness for me Tonight

Darkness For Me Tonight

By Nomar Knight

I've been practicing letting you go

Ever since we said hello

The warm embrace that replaced words

Hearts beating like a thunderous herd

Watched what could be

Turned into it can't be me

A cruel fate dealt us a blow

How to cope I don't know

Fly be free from my love

Let your wings stretch from high above

No hope no joy only despair

Must pretend we no longer care

For the halls of echoes will bleed

If we wallow in love's greed

So fly away my angelic light

Only darkness for me tonight

Only darkness for me tonight

With clipped wings I cannot fly

Only darkness for me tonight

Tomorrow the sun may shine

The myth that you were mine

Reveals true darkness not light

Only darkness for me tonight

Only darkness for me tonight

Dead of Knight

Dead of Knight

By Nomar Knight

The wounds are too deep

Just want forever sleep

Suffocated by circumstance

Like I never had a chance

All the time we spent

Thought you were heaven sent

Emptiness claws and bites

Turned off all the lights

Looking for forever sleep

The pain cuts too deep

Though I tried my best

My soul can never rest

Walking dead upon the living

Filled with many misgivings

Surrounded by loss and gloom

The end came too soon

Nothing left but to drown in sorrow

For me there is no tomorrow

Good-bye my lovely light

All I see is the dead of night

Save My Soul

Save My Soul

By Nomar Knight

You crushed my heart and left me to die

An empty promise you made a lie

Told me you'd be forever true

Yet somehow I'm here without you

Come shake me out of this nightmare

Come show me you still care

Save my soul and shower me with light

Pull me out of hell's flames tonight

Like a dream you came into my life

We danced in rhythm like husband and wife

With you I flew and walked on air

Can't believe you don't really care

At least I know what hell feels like

Flames scorch skin with a hammer and spike

Never-ending screams expand the hole

Oh won't you please save my soul

Save my soul with your warm touch

The pain inside is like claws that clutch

Though some tell me to give time a chance

Can't help but know that we danced our last dance

The hurting will stop and the void will close

I will smile again though nobody knows

Every night I will pray to be made whole

Because an angel will come and save my soul

Some angel will come and save my soul

Please angel save my soul

This Ain't a Love Poem by Nomar Knight

To all those lonely souls who had their hearts stepped on. This one's for you.

This Ain't a Love Poem

By Nomar Knight

This ain't a love poem

Because I'm filled with grief

Since that deadly thief

Took you away

This ain't a love poem

More like a gripe or rant

Because I just can't

Make it another day

This ain't a love poem

No flowers or candy

Things ain't dandy

Don't care what they say

This ain't a love poem

No candlelight meal

The pain's too real

There must be a way

This ain't a love poem

Love letters torn

Just hate reborn

It's not okay

This ain't a love poem

It's a final good-bye

Though I don't know why

You broke my heart today

Broken Valentine

Broken Valentine

By Nomar Knight

I hold a cane

To explain the pain

Grimacing, panting

As if age is ranting

But truth be told

It’s not growing old

That bothers me

More an ache you can’t see

Staleness escapes my pores

A hollowed emptiness implores

By circumstance or chance

Keeps us from our dance

Can’t let on

It hurts that you’re gone

Come soothe me

Make us happy

Fits of laughter keep

A darkened soul so deep

Hiding from prying eyes

Drowning in a pool of lies

How much longer will this last?

Will it ever come to pass?

Be mine Valentine

Cut through sordid vines

Time is a heartless brute

Stomping on desire for truth

Allow love to bloom

Not like a bomb’s boom

But an angel’s choir

Filled with hungry desire

Until you’re set free

We’ll linger in misery

Lonely Echo

Lonely Echo

By Nomar Knight

I sit in solitude

Waiting for a sign

That I'm not forgotten

The sound of rocking

Back and forth

Keeps me company

A starless night

Tries to muffle

My mourning cries

Cold breeze whips by

Vague whispers caress

Awaking curiosity

I lean closer to the edge

Where heartache rules

Listening for your voice

I could barely hear

You calling my name

As teardrops fall

With pounding dreams

And outstretched hope

I rise to praise the miracle

But when sounds sling back

A deadly dose strikes

And I collapse again

Left to a merciless fate

I relive the agony

Of this lonely echo

Haunted Eyes

Haunted Eyes

By Nomar Knight

Haunted by the essence of you

I thought time healed wounds

But I’m still feeling blue

And if we don't connect soon

Another piece of me dies

Some folks have ghosts in their attic

Mine appear when I shut my eyes

No sense in acting erratic

Wishing I had a chance at goodbye

Something else inside dies

Thought I heard your voice

Cutting through pouring rain

Separation wasn't my choice

Don't know how to rid this pain

Can't believe it was all lies

Roam the earth with haunted eyes

Hoping this nightmare will end

Silent tears remind me why

Broken whispers won't mend

Once again something dies

If I could cast a spell on you

Make things better than before

I'd show how my love is true

If you'd only open the door

Then these haunted eyes won't die

Stop the Bleeding

Stop the Bleeding

By Nomar Knight

Loneliness calls on misery

When I open my eyes

And realize you're not here

You didn't mean to hurt me

Still I ask fate why

Why can't I have you near

I bleed from every crevice

Each drop spilled takes

Another piece of my soul

Loving memories leave me breathless

No matter how much losing you aches

I won't let reality take its toll

Never-ending hope breathes on

For I refuse to give up on us

Can't allow myself to end this pleading

I sit up till dawn

Without making a fuss

Praying for you to stop the bleeding

Know this

These trying times

Are draining my soul

Look Into My Eyes

Lately, my poems seem to have titles of songs in common.  Even though I hadn't heard the songs, I feel it shows how universal love is, though this offering doesn't have anything to do with a Bryan Adams song. Thanks for visiting the halls of Knight Chills. 

Look Into My Eyes

By Nomar Knight

Look into my eyes

See the pain of losing you

Sleeping in a garden

Waking in a desert

My thirst for you won't quench

Look into my eyes

See us holding hands

Barefoot on the beach

Watching how your hair

Swayed in the summer breeze

Look into my eyes

See them gleam with joy

Raindrops couldn't taint

Our magical moment

When I tasted your lips

Look into my eyes

See how they bleed

My broken heart melts

Nothing left to do

But wait for another chance

Look into my eyes

See the hurt heal

Wondrous memories remain

Lifting hope to the heavens

Delivering peace in our hearts

Alone I Weep

Alone I Weep

By Nomar Knight

Alone I weep for what we were

Can't believe how time blurred

Still feel your caress

Surely knew I was blessed

Our love was real

My heart you did steal

Alone I weep under stars

Eating candy bars

Recalling your tender kiss

Picturing our nights of bliss

Hearing moans fade in the dark

No way our love was a lark

Alone I weep for lost love

Praying to heaven above

That you'll find your way back

Without you I lack

Completeness and joy

So don't be coy

Alone I weep for another chance

Wish I could keep you in a trance

To hold you so tight

Mustn't give up our fight

You know we're meant to be

I love you endlessly

Alone I weep for all to see

How could you do this to me

Abandon courage and reason

Committed the ultimate treason

My soul didn't come cheap

And so alone I must weep

Poisoned Wish

Poisoned Wish

By Nomar Knight

Be careful what you wish for

When you open your heart

Vulnerability opens a door

Forever tearing us apart

We envisioned two lovers

Dancing in the night

Swaying under covers

Allowing love to take flight

But when fate delivered

What we hoped to be sweet

Reality made us shiver

Delight no longer neat

Trapped in cruelty's passion

Desire threw caution away

Not even infidelity's fashion

Could make you stay

We had much to lose

You chose not to break a dish

I'm left singing the blues

All from our poisoned wish

Foolish Schemes

Tonight ends my week of reflecting on Forbidden Love. I leave you with a cold message.  Keep in mind that not all relationships end like this.  Nevertheless, if you find yourself in this situation, I hope you do get to find happiness and if there's collateral damage, that's it's minimal and you can live with yourself. 

 Foolish Schemes

By Nomar Knight

Tell me why we can't be together

Show me why we're in the land of nether

Doesn't matter how I feel

Though I know our love is real

I'm shut out from your days

And it's not a phase

Cut down from your nights

Relinquished all my rights

Don't ask me to feel things

I know what pain brings

When are you going to show

If your love for me grows

You know this loneliness inside

I'm supposed to take in stride

But it kills my heart to see

How you're never with me

Forbidden love is foolish I know

Just want my feelings to flow

Yet every time I think it'll shine

Something happens to show you're not mine

Don't you see you're missing in my heart

Can't stand how he's keeping us apart

Why can't I be there where you are

Only you can erase these scars

Tell me why there's something missing

In my mind we're always kissing

But when I open my eyes I see

Our love is not meant to be

For your choice dug the hole

Though my soul you stole

Nothing else can reverse

This Godforsaken curse

I'm a fool we know it's true

I'll never get over you
