If you hear it just once, then it's an air strike.
Twice, means it's just a sonic boom.
While we wait anxiously,
deadly silence fills the room.
Those moments in between
feel like a lifetime.
Especially when
someone's life maybe on the line.
If we end up hearing the second sound
relief fills our hearts,
even though they just skipped a pound.
For at least we know that 2 sounds are just meant to entice fear.
While 1,
is meant to tear down
maybe a few lives
or maybe an entire town.
So, with windows open,
we wait
we hope
to hear that second sound.

I don't chase words, nor do they find me.
We meet halfway
and dance in synchrony

Pass me the hot Cheetos
while we Netflix and chill
Order the pizza
while I get a refill
I'll choose the movie
And you pay the bill.

Open up my wounds
Drench me in my sorrow
With every waking day,
hand me another pill too hard to swallow
It gives me thrill
A taste of a dark state of bliss
For who can resist
another opportunity to wallow?
My very own mind made misery
A haven from the first sign of glee
Take me there
so I can go nowhere
Lock me in
the sanctuary under my skin.
