walk with me
 
tell me
your
hopes & fears
 
i want to see
your reflection
in the starry skies
 
sweet sweet melody
when you sigh
 
you called to me
specially
 
abnormally
transforming
the blackness i see
 
but i embrace
the feeling
 
the terror
 
the shaking
 
as every second of
silence
 
is a decade 
of your judgement
 
just walk with me, darling
 
life is hardly much a thing
with your desire on the shelf
 
i'll save you from your higher power
if you
keep me
from
myself

can't help but wonder
when it all comes to the surface

the product
of all the things

you didn't do

the petty
inconsequential
choices
that
you made after

thinking too much

like grains of sand
but soon
fertilized by
the passing
of time

consume

& you're left
sitting
in the same spot
homeless now
and all alone

because

you think too much
you think too much
you think too much
you
think

too much

fiery
hardly
contained
by the body

that I see
swaying
and preying
upon me

a familiar
situation
as is your
demeanor

And against all
second thought
I dream
between her

but when she's
gone by daw

the liquor will
still be there

spinning with
the room

erasing
her stare

i need
someone to
tell me
just how
drunk i am

to remind me of the cruelty
i exercise in conversation

to lay around in bed
all day
& count the
breaths of
one another

to

make sure i
stay somewhat human

and to

make sure i
know that i am
someone
to somebody

i need to be called an
******* when
i am acting like
nothing less

to be embraced
in the coldness
i exhibit

though i long so
to warm you

validation
idealistic
romanticized
pessimism

i need someone to
make me feel

i


want



you

cigarettes &
the bottle
to

usher in
drab tomorrows

there's no
substitute
for
human contact

nothing that brings
the body to shiver
like the touch

nothing that makes sleep
sweep in quicker than
the heat of another

but

smiling is much
easier
when you're so
drunk you
can't feel
your face

thinking
waiting
whiskey
drinking

tossing
turning
turmoil
seeping

into
dear &
lucid
dreaming

& in
mornings
lacking
meaning

no one
nothing
void of
feeling

so more
drinking
reading
writing
singing

I can barely remember
how it felt;
that moment when
the blurred vibrations
set in

things make sense when
your feet don't touch the ground

reality was then a whisper
and now it is yelling in my face

reality is the cold tile floor
reality is the wildfire
reality is the car crash
reality is the hunger
reality is reaching for the pill
& the insatiable thirst for the bottle

reality is heartless
it is unforgiving

and the harder you try
to close your eyes
the more vividly you see

reality is always winning

and I'm
so very
tired
of keeping score
