34/M/Missouri Infatuated with words I can’t hear an open book you’re not. Reading your lips seeing emotions that don’t fit. Hearing what you’re not saying as a consequence
lost the world Forgot to care Falling out of the unfamiliar Felt strange like I had been there before thoughts quietened My anxiety felt at home At peace Their opinions didn't matter Didn't care Stacked them high as I could Just another brick in the wall Separates them from me Laying here in the sand Hear Floyd above the waves Ocean crashing into me Making a little more sense each time Wish you were here to feel this Like walking on the rails at midnight Never noticing the train Alone Free And in reference to another one I was finally Comfortably numb

Midnight wave
That dream again recurring melodies of waves lifting my spirit the harmony soothing Making me more comfortable than I've ever been daydreaming in a dream gazing at the scenery tips of my fingers wading in water Cool to the touch Seems perfect and it is It's hard to explain As if each eye sees something else an overlay so to speak because it's cloudy and then not I can see the sun's rays but I can't feel its heat dog days of summer But common sense is telling me I might need a jacket It's bright out I almost have to squint The water reminds me space Unending There's a mist sitting just above I imagine it the same color blue The air is heavy but no humidity Everything around seems still Floating around in the atmosphere Surrounded by clouds I fall I see myself as this is happening Face to face I don't know if he sees me He looks lost in thought Yet completely aware of everything Time almost pauses maybe just waited It's us concealed by mist at the bottom of a waterfall A nightmare or I cant tell it's a scary kind of beautiful And That's it

It is what it'll never be again happening as everything climbs and falls back down. I'm here cause I wasn't because you're not yet If there's us then there's them talking to the same sky saying that us this hell To it It is heaven

Heaven
Happiness is nothing in the light it’s not what i see not the one at my side nothing that occupies space happiness is what’s there when I close my eyes a lullaby sung by the night that let me forget the world remembering exactly who and whomever I am If it’s just a dream then tell me your nightmare. Joy and pain numerous feelings new emotions I could never explain. There I never felt lost. There I’m not alone I’m safe Happiness is a dream to me

Numb to the facts I'm immune to this second-guessing confusions the answers I once had colliding in my head catch fire exploding even without hesitation nothing I can do to stop it once saw the pictures glimpses of a hopeful future but now adjusting an antenna sitting watching my reflection reflecting failing my view I can't put it in perspective fog maybe snow clouding my view all I'm getting is static The fallout taking over my screen pounding my head til my knuckles bleed I don't flinch I can't feel anything there's no tears already on the floor at my side uncertain of what lies ahead speaking of the future as if it were already past tense I broke my own heart I'm dying. Gave into letting go A single memory falls off my cheek Chest barely rising watching this blurry scene My past the only one who remembers What it was like when I used to be me

Rabbit ears
I don't want to write the light anymore estranged from myself I don't want it no I'm not happy I'm absent hearted handcuffed to the tracks no bravo no encore Didnt care for the movie much less the god **** replay feeling the ties start to vibrate my back numb from the steel got a smile on my face the key in my hand it saddens me all i see a piece of scrap paper, pencil two worn out hands The rest is all in my head

I think I can
Is it worth it I wonder Trying to look past the obvious Going thru it Over and over Taking credit I feel I don't deserve it Was maybe once Didn't see that you weren't Genuine feelings no mistake I fell over Learning nothing by looking at the cover Hard time remembering Understandable Repetition subtle hints Left undiscovered Selective memories Hundreds of me I used to be Countless others I'd never let happen to you Situations not necessarily circumstantial Always without words my end Multiple choice Was you I wrote in Confused I'm not Delirium I'll cut my ear off

Starry night
1849 laying down at night thinking wondering if it’s worth it to think about hoping it’s not all what it seems wishing for the moon to hurry bringing The tide up past my feet waking me hopefully another life still me dreaming dreams crawling out of bed no recollection of anything how do I know how do I know I’m not someone else’s dream again and again being woke seems like it took all night but really just a few seconds is this it the end why would it be different just a glimpse a lifetime in a moment mine or yours is it over if I’m there but here shouldn’t I feel it is it right to say I’m mine when ours makes more sense -ywsm

1849
I fell in love with the way your body flowed but overlooked the rapids in the distance so now I'm trying not to drown hoping instead I'll just be swept out to sea
