The smell of damp leaves
whirls around me
There's a chill in the air
and a sense of mischief
in the sway of the trees

It's coming
*It's coming...
Riley Lavender Aug 2015
One of those days
where the tears sit
poised to fall

One of those days
where your heart
curls up into a ball

One of those days
where the need to retreat
is almost too strong to resist

One of those days
where you really
just need an
EXIT

One of those days
where basic human interaction
is a struggle

One of those days
where life just feels
like too much to juggle

One of those days
where your brain feels
like it's going to riot

One of those days
where you really just
want to be
quiet

One of those days
where you can't tell
if any of it is real
or all in your mind

One of those days
where you really
just don't want to be kind

One of those days
where you don't feel
too stable

One of those days
where you just want
to be
i n v i s i b l e

It's just one of those days
Know what I mean?

Your name
haaaaaaunts
the dark recesses
of my mind
And I can't
ignore it
anymore

When the day to day
becomes too much
you are the quiet calm
waiting on the other side
I fear the death
Of my emotions
They wax and wane
Ebb and flow
Eventually the tide, my tide,
Will draw so far out
It will receed back in on itself
And collapse
Riley Lavender May 2015
Lost
in my own mind
today

Do not
disturb me
