apparently only two
a stronger soul would say it's few
a weak one like me, will start to see
all the things I've come to be
every sip becomes quicker
every gulp getting a little bit bigger
a smile forming in my face
happiness is absent, though a giggle escapes
a distraction to say the least
a sudden darkness starts to creep
what I thought was a solution
starts to invade
stream of memories
unprovikingly plays
I start to numb
my heart beat drums
as I take one glass more
to keep them at bay
cheers.

you haven’t been sleeping enough,
I see your eyes flickering in the dark
the bed has been nothing but rough
the visions of her won't stop

the stars have dimmed you say,
replaced with a deafening gray
a sorrowful sight it was

wishful that the ocean will calm for you,
but the storm is pushing through,
it’s deep and there’s nowhere to go,
an armada of emotions sinking painfully slow

no one to turn to
her words cloud the sea
never again become blue
how will you flee?

the waves does not allow you to sail through
no lull in the night
a squall behind you
a searing pain
ensues

Take me away
From all the broken promises
And shattered walls.
Take me back to when the world
Was still bearable.

Turn back the time to when I fell in love with you,
And I was happy about it.

Tell her all the beautiful things you told me.
But please, mean it this time.

If I forget,
Would it be easier?
Or will my heart start
Longing for something it does not remember?
Something that created a disaster
Based on the scars you left
Shane Rowe Oct 2018
Are you against me?
Answers are not always what is heard
I see
You are a mess of words,
Do you hear me?
Tied together with a longing
Strong enough to bend steel
Holding onto a belief that
Someday might not be as dark as today
Hold on, my dear
Even if the whispers are getting louder

Panic
Do not
Panic
I am full of it
Sick of it
Panic
My brain weary
A fear stills me
Panic
For tomorrow
Might not come for me

I am nothing
I feel it feeding
Off of the silence surrounding me
Panic
I tell myself over and over and over-

It deafens me,
Ringing constantly
It is always within
An incredible sense of
Panic
I dread that it will never leave
A friend that I will never meet
To ask if it can ever be
More than just
Panic
My anxiety is here tonight.
