Dawson S Oct 2020
I wish I was floating
Above an ocean
And listening to the waves break
In two small pieces, my soul lives
Learning to cope with the fact
That I can’t separate them
Ocean,
Pull me apart
Dawson S Jan 2020
A person’s absence
Shows me the way
To the ruins

Where my skin feels loose
My eyes feels heavy
My intentions are to say goodbye

I want to leave the ruins
The way you left
My fear consumes the idea

It’s easier to stay and face the music than to leave and release vultures on my coherency
Dawson S Jan 2020
Together doesn’t carry the same weight
And I stare into your eyes
And the heart begins to fade
I feel it deeply within my chest
An empty canvas
An empty mess
You say to me that you feel numb
I understand
I come undone
I wish you’d tell me what eats away
At the gentle soul
At the words you say
Dawson S Nov 2019
Wandering woman
Wandering face
Keep on looking
For that place
Spinning head
On and on
Change instead
I don’t belong
Dawson S Aug 2019
Sadness finds another door
An opportunity, perhaps
To make you feel whole
In all the insecurities
You hold close
But closing the door
Only reveals another
Wedged under your life
Like the deep engraving
Of a choked up routine
Dawson S May 2019
I realize today
That emotion is always fleeting
As are the people
And the places
And the meanings
You were always meant to leave
I was never meant to stay
He wants to move on
She takes it day by day
And as I wait for the next ending
I can only hope for a new beginning
Dawson S May 2019
I will never lie in bed the same way
I did when I was younger
I will never appreciate the silence
The way I did when I wasn’t afraid of it
And as I roll from side to side
I dream of these times
And I squeeze my eyes shut
Revealing the loss I’ll never share
