Overwhelmed

         which way to turn

slow burn

         up, down, sideways

darkness and pinpricks of light 

         anguish and fright

let me out of this cave

         save me

too much

         can’t hold it all

plate overflowing

         broken, throw away

today

         toss it

high, low, away

         stay away

not here

         not now

not ever

         no room

broom

         clean sweep

night weeps

         light

clearing

         fearing

fog lifting

         uplifting

soft sifting

         take it

make it

         change it

run with it

         faster, faster

found it

         plain sight

Ahhhh!

Running in this heartbeat

I wonder at your life 

and how you think about me...

Influences surround and I feel 

All this

Uncertainty and I just want to

Go

Away, away, 

Away

I want to get lost in your memory

As it shakes

Up the corners of 

My heart, maybe life 

Is as simple as 

A change 

of 

Heart.

I wanna run, and float

Away, away,

Away

On a tide of emotion,

the kind that 

Eases my mind,

and I don't want to ask

Permission but 

Forgiveness isn't likely 

and

I'd like to make my own

Existence shining

in the darkness

of 

Your eyes.

Is life really

as simple as that change of 

Heart? what's possible,

I think,

if my consience wasn't so

full of regrets in this life

Half-lived,

Will it ever be

Fully explored,

I wonder...

If an opportunity will make

Or break

Me,

A chance 

like this I want to take, and

Just

Go away, away,

Away

A touch

it's all I need

the warmth, 

to sooth the ache.

I feel lost,

alone,

hopeless.

I don't know what I'm doing.

I don't know where I am.

I feel lost

cut off

thrown away.

I feel surrounded by a void

of darkness.

I've been sucked into this void 

and it won't let me go.

I need help,

but no one can hear me.

I'm all alone...
