Touching you was like static electricty in a dark room,
a makeshift thunderstorm in your fingers,
you had more noise in you than a little heart could handle;
so you came bursting open:
screaming, hands punching the air and gasping
for sanity; they said if you hear God it's probably purgatory
what would they call it
when I hear the windclap of your hips a sonic boom
and the quiet of your eyes like blood rushing to my head
in an anechoic chamber;
would they call it madness or delusion
or a mix of a little bit of both; could be alcohol,
could be love
because when I lit a match
in your darkness,
it burned the whole house down.

I fell behind because I was too busy pushing you forward.
we started at hello
and ended
in hell.

For others -
the darkest hours are just before dawn.
For me -
the darkest hours are when I am alone with me.
Doubt,
fear
confusion,
regret,
all visit as if old friends
to reminisce of times past.
To haunt me with mistakes
best put to rest.
And to share a glass of
vintage sadness.
For me -
there is no place of refuge
...no safe place to land
Just the internal struggle
which feels like an eternal struggle.
each new day
feels like a prison sentence.
hopeless
At times it feels my only relief
will be eternal sleep.
until then each day I survive
is scored as
a win.
