It’s when you reach the bottom
Can feel no lower down
No longer can see the Sun blazing over you

That’s when we turn our heads up
To the sky above
Seeing nothing but the starlight chandelier
Hanging over

And dream of flying,
   amidst it all

Of laughing and spinning our way
Dancing through life
In sparks of never ending beauty
Feeling weightless
              For all the world to see

For it is only ever in the darkness
That we birth our brightest dreams
Im not promising I can stay positive but I know I’m going to try my best when I can, and I know how I can get there, how about you?

Death

Death is something I want
          But can’t bring myself to take
Love
          Is something I lost
             But can’t seem to let go of
And time

         Time is where I drift, lost
                Not knowing any way or
                               place I see

     Forever stuck in between

When your world is breaking
You get ****** into a dimension
Of two halves
One wrought with pain and emotion
Hot and searing in every second
The second is emptiness, the loss and eternal void of vast space spilling in as if to drown you
The two are inseparable
And awful each In their own way

But they are always together
As I prepare for a final goodbye
For the curtain to be drawn on something I’ve loved for years
I can do nothing but sit helplessly waiting and feeling and sinking further inti this state of agony

It rains when it’s over
Not just outside, but in
Making a puddle
In the hole
That was once me

Just one

Just one
But I refuse,
Just one, come on
If it helps you can’t lose,
Just one I say
Needing a release,
Just one I do;
One works a treat.

Just one I say,
One when I’m low,
Just one when I don’t know where I should go,

One when I’m crying
One when you frown
One when I know I’m not wanted around,
One for each argument
One for each ‘I need time’
One for each part of me I now wish weren’t mine.

The problem with Angels
Is that - as they fall
Their wings,
In all towering beauty
Reach out, stretching;
Feathers and bone
To drag and pull
Away at those
Who dare to watch,
Souls ensnared:

“I couldn’t look away if I tried”

The end is waiting not a,
Huge crash- collision
Like onslaught,
-Earth bending, breaking
Shattering like glass,
At the bottom of a
Pool, is not a tidal wave
Goodbye, to friends and family,
Tilting, listing, moment
Of truth ringing like a
Gunshot in your ears
No, hearing nothing,
Silence, is screaming and
Bleeding - it’s not, all at
once like a,
Thundercloud
It is, creeping,
Numbness of tears-
Stains, like it will,
Never fade,
Forgotten- never until,
Life again; starts, stops, stalled
car in traffic the
End is waiting-
Not sudden.
