Inspired
Places you’ve never seen
A face I yearn to meet
Are you with me
Are you with me
I feel you in me
I see me in you
Us, we
A whole one
We divide by two
My words are drawn to you
A string from your tongue to mine
In sync, off beat
Keep the music flowing
Nobody wants to know us
Everyone wants to look
Cast me out, form a shadow
Engulf my heart in snow
Melt the ice with your breath
Our body language, a test
It’s been over a month since you found her, and only hours since your bed and clothes have disappeared from my life forever
It’s been a few weeks since I was paralyzed with heartbreak, but I still cry a lot
I am so overwhelmed with time and emotions and events.
I am just one stagnant soul watching life unfold fleetingly and abruptly, and my heart and mind and body are all one lost gooey mess it feels like
I don’t know what to make of the thoughts in my head but you’ve left a bitter taste in my mouth
A bitter taste im grateful you left, I needed to hurt from you one last time
One last time to confirm that I will always be better off without your bed and clothes around, your scent and habits
I am naked and alone
I am vulnerable and yet brave and strong all at once
So much hope and inspiration
And so much fear laying in front of me
This is a beginning to a new end, a page turned.
Hello
It’s always nights turning into mornings that make me the most sick
The most unsettled
And I love and hate these nights because I have always had a tendency of letting my pain consume me
But this time is different
Because there’s parts of me fighting back
And I am at a war in my heart and mind
As I lose sleep and can’t eat
And fight the creeping thoughts that attempt to pull me under
I always go under
But the water is less deep this time and I can touch
Making a breakthrough
A Blessing and a Curse
Wandering souls in the early hours of the morning,
Sunset, sun rise
The earliest and latest cries
Come from the wandering souls of the night
Attached to brains and hearts and warm
bodies
So lost, hopeful and less at once
We sell our souls for understanding and compassion
Only to have them returned time and time again
The angels that walk this earth are the beautiful, wandering souls of the night
Will give love 2 million tries with hopes of making some minuscule difference
In the lives of people who don’t make these mistakes twice.
Drowning
Yelling underwater makes your cries sound so small
And yet you keep yelling as you’re releasing the air that makes you float to the surface
Sinking
Sinking
Sinking
And you think you’ve got this under control,
Except your pleads are becoming so faint
Almost nonexistent
And everyone can walk on the surface except you
Because you’re sinking
And sinking
And sinking
