I feel like I am drowning
Even though there is no water
To drown in
I feel like I'm falling backwards
Even though I am sitting
Very quite still
I feel like crying
Even though today
Was my birthday
And there is no reason to
Only at how it's so easy
For days to turn dark
What is it, night?
No it's not the night
I can't see the stars
And feel the breath of a better day
On the horizon
Eriko Dec 2015
The thickness building at the throat
And breathing spiraling
So that my head starts spinning
Realizing I have forgotten my coat

The room seethes of chilly air
I hate to be here right now
Staring at the broken pieces
Leaving only me to collect

Terrified to dare touch the shiny china
Shattered smiles and broken ribs
I simply stare at the spilled tea leaves
And feel the heat slowly fade

Staring at the broken memories
Terrified, so I close me eyes
How easy it is to sit with such hate
Feeling it's better if I just fade away

I would never want to be
a burden to others
Eriko Dec 2015
the crinkle of eyes
the trickle of meaning
lost behind intention

the aching of smiles
not knowing how to keep
the laughter within

the warmth of presence
the buzz of music
and rhythm of feet

the sensation of feeling
the pool of thoughts
like a fluttering dream

the pearly glint of  moon
the rustle of leaves
the last breath before

sleeping

a girl only of eighteen
sitting in a lonely room
with windows to personalities
she can only have dreamt for
meeting those she despised
and those she love
once when she feels comfortable
they decide to close to their panes
knocking on the glass,
they only walk away
so she lived her entire life
walking in and out of panes
watching as each window vanish,
and she sits in this room,
she decorated with paint
and words from authors
which kept her sane
the bright morning light filters through
and leaves pink flares
she presses her head to the walls,
and ponder which way to go
she needs the greatest downpour
of shivering rain which smells like
the pours of an ocean coral
she needs the greatest uproar
of golden reflections
which keeps her warm at night
which way is the door?
a hand extended to help her
to show her how to feel
very much alive,
and to get back on her feet
she's tired of meeting those people
which leaves her emotions sore

creeping darkened walls
slices of sunlight
cold cup of coffee
Eriko Dec 2015
a faceless runner
away from the slippery sky
the sinking fray
of thoughts beginning
to fall astray
whichever is true
I'm sorry for I do not
know what I really mean
and thoughts falling astray
like eyes gone dilated
--seeing without really knowing--
living lovely lives
which really don't
belong to me
so I run away
from the sores
and sail boats
which leave behind
those bruises
