you break my heart
you reap my soul
with no remorse
and no tears in eyes.
The landscape of my mind is one of twilight,
Every moment caught in the stillness of my attention,
Fragments of light break the willow trees every now and then,
And I am all alone,
I hope you get my messages,
I toss them over the edge whenever I find enough time,
I love the idea of running,
If only running wasn't so far,
Everything is so far here,
Most of the time I simply gaze,
Down and down into that darkness,
Shadows twirl and dance before my eyes,
I find the notes from you there,
They drift in on a breeze and fill my mind,
Hello to you as well,
Battered and bruised
this heart takes a pounding.
As the mind goes into the spin cycle.
Taking no notice of time
that elapses regardless.

Worn and exhausted,
these lungs yearns and fights for...
Air.
Sweet air.
As if tomorrow would offer no more.

Unnatural and numbing...
Sleep.
These meds promise only the illusion
that all is good and well.
Encapsulated in high sheen gloss.
Shaped such to go down easy.
A means for a convenient albeit
temporary escape.
