Drip drip
Can't stop
Hurt
Help help
Gone
No goodbye
Please please
Hold on
Too weak
No no
Can't be perfect
Don't expect it
Why why
Can't I be
Always trying
Fail fail
Too much
When I'm with you

Rugged mindset
Eroding away feelings
Or maybe just joy
Either one destructive
Blown away
Bit by bit
Until what's left
Are these words

Must.
Not.
Lose.
Control.

Blistering boundaries
Wordless worry
Lightly laying
Just you and me

Sharing stories
Of occasions
Almost abandoned
Just you and me

Kissing kids
Holding hands
Forgetting fate
Just you and me

chirp chirp
Cried the cricket
Of my mind.

chirp chirp
Everything's alright
Be brave
Keep calm.

chirp chirp
Lose focus
Surrender together
Care.

chirp chirp
Settle down
Escape memories
Share hope.

chirp chirp
Cried the cricket
Of our love.

A year
A month
A week
A day
An hour
A minute

Any second
With you
Is great.

Sanity serves only I.
Get out and get in.
Join or disregard.
Let strength be not an issue
Nor others intimidate
Find the wisdom in care
And love will come near.
Shall then you see what's pure?

Away away away away
Or stay
In this horrid madness.
Where everything screams caution
No longer number one
But you must confront.
Lie, steal, cheat, and beg
For nothing.
