Are you still who I knew?
Or a stranger, a star too lofty to
Be reached?
I am earth bound and
You are ever a voyager
Into the great unknown.

This heavy feeling in my chest sinks
while eyes like wells swell and stream down in streaks
I lay awakened in the darkness
as it wraps around my sudden sadness
It holds me here, constricted;
by my own self I am convicted
to this cell, a hell I call home,
the only place I have ever roamed
The ghost of my past haunts me,
a never-ending reminder of what once was and what could be
Lost: in space, in time, in thought
I am the forgotten and distraught

Will my words suffer under the whip?
A lash, a word, a beating
Equates a phrase.
A back,  smarting beneath
The consequences of leather; and
"You weakling. I'll teach you
What pain is. I'll show you."
I am
Writing under the influence.

I wonder: should I try
Suicide
Again just to
Get your attention?

i don't remember anything that happened
         but i called you: why?
if i am trying to forget.

If the whole world be tremors that shake my soul
And thou my only shelter, I run
To where you surround my every inch
Where our hearts entwine in ways that bodies cannot.
Your eyes are not windows to your soul,
But a bridge to your mind: I cross, I am there;
let us commune with words that overturn instituted love.
Every breath is your soul's fluttering wings,
Every heartbeat an attempt to break out
From its ****** cage.
I am not captured in your arms,
I am freed, for my heart speaks
To yours with truer words
That overflow from my lips, in a kiss
They mix with yours to consummate
The galaxies of our embrace
And the world shaketh not.
