Again

You can feel yourself slip again

Your chest starts to tighten

And your thoughts slowly blacken

It is a subtle process but it is happening

Will it be worse this time, wondering.

You do not want to lie in that state again

A promise you make to yourself

Now and back then

Every time you cry without reason.

But here you are, prating

Once again, to bury that side of you

That will always be hurting;

Once you have creeped into the dark

All your broken pieces are terrified to go back.

 

But I tell you, whether or not

You are sliding into Hell's mouth

Once again and once more after that

I will be here pulling you back up;

 

When you are tired of looking for light

I will never tire of your fight.
