washing
over me.
I feel tears
building up.

I sit with you and laugh.

as I turn,
the feeling
grows
deeper.

my heart aches.
lypophrenia: a vague feeling of sadness seemingly without any cause

two brothers and a sister.
she is destined
never to know
them.
they are friends
(of course)
and close.
but he knows him
better than she
ever will.

who are you
who am i
what is this
where am i

my hand is no longer my own
my heart is too much my own
my forehead feels tight
the lights too bright

who am i
what is this
where am i

the movements i make seem odd
i am no longer in control
yet who is this typing
if not me

what is this
where am i

my jaw aches and my head throbs
i recognize myself yet i do not
i stare at a wall
it moves?

where am i

the back of my mind is my home
i feel trapped inside it
i strain against the bars
there is no one to hear me
happens way too often

time
time
time
it’s slipping away
why won’t it stop?
why won’t it stay?
time
time
time
please wait.
I don’t have enough

ocean blue eyes
come take me away
but my soft sighs
aren't heard today

in november i stopped dancing
december, singing
january, laughing
february, smiling
and so i shall continue
for you left me in october
and i’ve never been the same

on a night like this
i kissed your lips goodbye
for you were headed into tomorrow
and i to the sweet summer sky
