May 2016
moments of silence
I shutter
chest tightens
a breath after my mind in the gutter
lost itself to fake another
and hide behind my hurt

Here I fall from happiness
the ***** without a hold
I tense
and brace for ground
which races toward my body

Here I wake
a piece of meat
with a piece of cake
trying to prove my life's at stake
to save the one's I love

Here I rest at last
the spirit changes
far too fast
and I can't know how I should pass
this Love from me to you

So listen deep and listen true
before you tell yourself
what's to lose.
