when it all goes down, find me.
words, words, words
i need to hear your words.
a voice that speaks comfort truth.
find me.
I'll close my eyes,
you. you. you.
blink back the tears
strength, battles the fears
release.
inhale. exhale...
breathe, we all learn to breathe
when it all goes down
fight
give. learn. love.
I'll search for you,
survive, battle for you
and when it's all done
rest. learn to rest.

within the eyes of you
autumn black Oct 2011
I looked through you once
I never expected you to vanish
I was so caught up in your stories
I didn't want to let you go
I never wanted to let go
The sky caught your sorrows
The stars let you steal their light
You swore that one day you would give it all back
It gave you hope
Hope that you thought would patch you up
Give you the breath you longed for
The completeness that was trapped within your sleep
Only in the dream
You smile
It came so easily
And faded so quickly
You never knew how it came and went
But you've searched years for it
Never knowing how you would grasp it
But always trying
Always trying
You were meant to try
So
You
Closed your eyes and sighed
"I'll get ya this time."

it's a faint scent that always
carries me back.
i see only a glowing blue,
a blue spark given to me by you
subtly catching tired eyes,
gently whispered lullabies,
singing, twisting, encrypting
everything i say.

nevermind, that my dear
it's really hard to stay clear.
i'm floating in and out of memories.
dreams stolen by lonely company.
it's okay though,
perhaps they need them more than i do.

it's fall again.
eyes in full swing business
orange, fiery chaos.
breathe deep. cool and fresh,
  October air.

how can i tell you,
when my chest is a dusty,
ill ridden fissure.
hollow, empty
echos.
echos.
walls painted with unbelievable
smiles
depression compression within these dark places.
is it too late to call your name?

im back now.
tattered and worn
open book, tired of language
Sleepy eyes, close themselves.
Should I compromise?
Maybe just let it happen..
meek, but never weak.

goodnight, good night.
music interjects.
a perfect time to start over
cool and fresh.
