drown in wine
the more I tried to fix things; the more they’d shatter - i kept running from something away from myself to let go would be to fall into submission, retribution to admit what i feel would be too much - vulnerability left behind i’m not like her now it’s quiet - no heartbreak, drama or fights the worlds spins silently now she’s been left behind.

Running
a number of times the bell tolls for who we are and what we became - you're the placid glimpse into my future I hold onto like an ink-less pen. tell me you need me, if you have the heart to. still, i wait - i pace. needing to know the right way to look, the right way to think. a backstreet stranger tells me you're gone but i don't listen, a flickering streetlight tells me I'm lonely and a patter of rain beckons me inside - but the sign of the lighthouse, tells me you still could be mine. dashing down the coastline, like a bitter dog in the flickering damp. drinking all I fathom to stay in grace. not a single word could revive you now. I stay silent. i let the waves embrace me with a withering sadness, as on my knees, i fall into the sea. the damp sand caresses my feet as they sink into sanctuary - I cower, praying to the moonlight you would come home.

If I had to give a reason for why I had to make her leave me – it was easy. For a start, I couldn’t leave her. It was impossible for me – yet to push her over the edge was the easiest thing in the world, to force her to hate me so much she would never come back. Now, the reason I wanted her to leave me was obtuse, narcissistic and insane – I blamed her. It was her fault I hadn’t made a movie yet, written a book, travelled the world. It must’ve been her fault cos it sure as hell wasn’t mine. After a drink, my savoir and solace – it spiralled into my lap that way, into ease. I didn’t even have to try, for in a way the intoxicated infected brain tried to teach me what was right – what I meant and what I could never let go. The darkest corners of oblivion took over me. It happened so much more quickly than I could ever imagine. She cut me straight like a knife, like I never could. Like all the years, all the days, all the affection meant nothing. It could never have been so easy for me and the rejection that dawned was something I was untouched by – until this moment. And it hurt like a razor skimming your ankle. Like a cut to the throat. Luckily, sadness fuels something else in me. A desire I was chasing, a desire to be everything I had ever wanted. I spent so long trying to break free yet all I’m left with is sadness, isolation and regret. I want you back like nothing I’ve ever felt before.
