It's been so long Now my soul has withered.. Tired, my eyes threaten to close. And as my fingers start to shake, and the emotions in me start to break.. I pause — Breathe in, breathe out. Breathe in, breathe out. It'll be fine. I will be fine. I tell myself that as I turn towards the wall, Draped myself in a thin blanket, Tears taunting my voice to crack. I silently cry. And then I pause. Slowly but surely, I fall deep, deep, deep,... into a sad but comforting slumber.

The Last You've Heard of Me

It's been so long Now my soul has withered.. Tired, my eyes threaten to close. And as my fingers start to shake, and the emotions in me start to break.. I pause — Breathe in, breathe out. Breathe in, breathe out. It'll be fine. I will be fine. I tell myself that as I turn towards the wall, Draped myself in a thin blanket, Tears taunting my voice to crack. I silently cry. And then I pause. Slowly but surely, I fall deep, deep, deep,... into a sad but comforting slumber.

Twinkle, twinkle little star... How I wonder, where art thou. Up above the cellar sleeping, Where I lay half dying.

My drunkard father Comes tumbling down, Knocking down, high and low At this ungodly hour. He is soaking wet, As God's tears come pouring in. He is loud Fumbling about. He walks round, And the fear creeps in. I am afraid. 'I wanna live,' is what's on my mind.

Tipsy Knots

My drunkard father Comes tumbling down, Knocking down, high and low At this ungodly hour. He is soaking wet, As God's tears come pouring in. He is loud Fumbling about. He walks round, And the fear creeps in. I am afraid. 'I wanna live,' is what's on my mind.

Have you... —Ever felt a fear so poignant, that it twists your vision, your sense of justice? Have you... —Ever felt so afraid, you are compelled to hold something sharp, something that will give you a kind of peace? Have you... —Ever tried being alone, a child lost in the vastness of a big house? Have you... —Ever been so afraid of a knock, you dismiss it as the wind? Have you... —Ever felt the world tumbling down, as he took a shower, tumbling things, fumbling 'round, all heavy and drunk? Have you ever felt such a gripping pain, a fear that chokes, a punding heart? Every move he makes, your senses heightens, and he comes out and you come in, try to hide, lose him out... Fear creeps in. And he drops dead, asleep on the couch.

**My body cringes Like a spring, coiled. Pain engulfs A torrent surrounds Every nerve, every joint --- they tingle in anticipation. My mind berserks What I feel I cannot fathom Words never enough I cringe yet again, at thoughts with no answers.**

Whilst I type, my eyes run askew. To the direction of where the noise runs high, I listen to the palpable tension of what love was before destroyed. And there, you two were, in all your aging glory, of age and time, of what you would call "Sacred Marriage." But what happened after you lose your love? Did you two find unhappiness rather than the opposite? Like two opposing forces, your compatibility was worse than science. So, what happens, when your love tires? Or your heart gives up? What happens after? Did you both lose yourselves? Trying to find, the "sacredness of marriage" or was it bound to fail? Like a torn down house, with no use at all. You two, were like broken records of what once was a burning romance.

And today was a day I could not wait to forget. *For the scent of my putrid sins came tumbling down, And you were there, but with someone else. And I was here, dying from my flaws, But you were untouchable, like the sun that scorches anyone, leaving no one behind.*

*As I lay there, With eyes looking up in anticipation... I waited. And there it was. A beauty. Smiling. Alight. But just for a glimpse.*
