Kathryn Irene May 2020
I haven't slept, nor do I want to
For fear of being casted into the roaring seas
And crashing into the high rocks
I fear the roaring heartaches and
Sudden images flashing like lightning

In this ravenous storm my heart slumbers
The tides caressing my eyes to close
And swiftly take me into the arms of the sea
Unfathomable things collide in my mind
My thoughts poisoned with fear

Swept into the cold, tethering darkness
Gravely I embrace the poisonous serpents that
Poises around my ribs, and fills my lungs with water as death fills life
Loving figures turned fiends and
Worser still myself and I

The hurling tides now may begin to calm and
Hold me in it's arms, calling as it speaks
Soft etches across my neck and open beaches
Tender warmth embraced in the lighthouse's chest
Safety and happiness wraps around me, the waves pulling me further into my darkest depths

I fear it's not just a dream, only a dream I cannot obtain

Fly away with me
allow me to extend
my arms around
you snd keep you
safe

Darling,
I'm tired
Tired of long nights
Yearning to be free
Tired of an aching heart
Unable to be pulled out
Oh darling,
My feet bleed from
trying to catch up
Darling when will
I be free?
Oh darling,
I'll be free when I reach the stars
Reach your burning smile
When I actually mean
something to you...

There's love in this hate
Passion in the flames
I'll be the monster that hurts you,
The lover of your desires
And you the change that makes me better
To be the guardian and swear to protect you,
Shield you and have you as mine
There's others that deserve you
Your sweet eyes and caring soul
But no one will love as strong as I
We tear down the castle walls
Storm the castle and conquer our siege
Oh of course, darling,
I still love you,
Though you're in his arms instead of mine

I feel so nauseated
I hate the smell
that consumes me,
but I yearn to breathe
I feel trapped and sick
when thinking about them
My desire for happiness is so strong,
my weakness is used against me
I feel poisoned,
heart against mind
I'll die of a broken heart

You'll be okay,
Take my hand and follow me into the water
Swim with me into the depths
Feel your body become the waves
Pretend to be the light that
Shimmers from above
Everything will be alright
Until you forget how to breathe
Suffocate and drown

I saw a man on a hill
Overlooking a valley that stretched over miles
With tears drenched on his cheeks

I knew by the shovel in his hand
And the mound beside his feet
He was sad

The gravestone was nameless
And when I peered over to see
There was nothing there

That's when I saw a man take his life
Falling thousands of feet into hell
But I thought he was an angel

He wasn't sad,
He was in pain.
And I didn't realize that in time.
So I took myself and stood on a hill
Overlooking a valley that stretched over miles
With tears drenched on my cheeks

I didn't know why but
I held the shovel in my hand
Beside the hole in the ground

I was sad
I wanted to **** myself
I hate myself

They didn't know,
That I was in pain.
And didn't realize that this time.
