Breathe...
Breathe... Breathe.......breathe....breathe..breatheBreatheeee
Where has all my air gone?
Did you steal the oxygen I so desperately need?
Or has the air lost its life as you did?
Nothing hides in plain sight like the broken man of yesterday, stepping through each day as if it were a doorway into the infinite of repetition.
Work numbs the brain and drugs dull the pain.
Words comet across the sky
Bursts of flame and rage trailing behind
Brilliant array of blues and greens to twist my world round and round towards the blackest pit the world has never known
Dedicated to those we have lost
Drowning in the sorrows of my fellow men
Staring at their souls' dark and bitter end
I come to the conclusion
And have left no illusion
Death makes friends when we least expect
While the devil befriends all who stand *****
So rigid and so proud it makes them fall
For centuries we gossip and lie and stall
Until we break into little tiny pieces
Shattered and broken, all breathing ceases
Tantalizing is the use of harmony
Deep is the need to explain
Silence is never a friend
Words crash down like an autumn rain

Sense is fleeting and often askew
A sign could mean nothing
A word might change the world
Interpret each without knowing

Losing a battle of truth
Winning during a loss
Kindness ebbs and flows
Eyes painted over in a gloss
Hello, can you hear me?
I sing to you from miles away
While driving in my car alone
Towards a newer, colder day.
I never imagined silence could hurt
Until the day I realized a month went by
And no words had filled our conversation,
Just the emptiness of space and sky.
Alas, I cannot let this end.
It would tear me deeper than before,
It might leave me helpless and broken
Crying you a river on my bathroom floor.
Struggling to breathe in this very empty room
I swore I would stay and prevent this doom
So here I stand alone again
I scream your name inside my soul
Begging for you to let me in
And all I hear is silence cutting deep into my ear
I know now that you loved me out of fear
Fear I might break and shatter along the floor
No longer worried if I should breathe
****. You. ****. You.
