Sensing a sixth
Sensing a sixth
so I went back to the place where it happened
where I had believed.
I'd started over.
A new beginning starting with the end.
I want to laugh
but I need to cry.
Honestly....
I couldn't tell you how I'm still here. How I'm still alive.
I lost everything I never had.
searching
wanting something
I cant explain why
I wanted nothing so bad
Chasing death
but he ran from me.
Good things come to those who wait. In my experience bad things do to.
It seems different now.
I can feel it.
Aurora of everything that surrounds me has been colored over.
Even the leaves the wind blows are ending up in the wrong place.
They don't belong there
Just like i feel I don't belong here
it isn't right
and in a way it isn't't wrong
Falling asleep
I'm walking in a memory.
Sitting in the company of my loneliness.
Wondering if my words are still there.
I know I wrote but most of that night is a blur.
I do remember the paragraphs left on the back bedroom walls.
The holes in the ceiling from the chair
after it shatterd the mirror on the vanity.
The crack in the bathtub from stomping every piece of electronics that had value.
Turning on the water ruining everything.
They were never around.
They didn't deserve anything.
Standing here in a coma-like trance.
Painted paragraphs on the walls
Bic pen around the window above the sink in the kitchen.
One is the reasons the other apologies.
Walked out the door that night That morning woke up next to a gas station out in the middle of nowhere
Now I stand here reading the suicide notes that bled through.
These messages I left for myself
I didn't expect to come back
This scythe tickling my neck tells me I'm right
Probably the worst day of my life
The closest I've ever came to death besides tonight.
Staring at these walls
warm light sets on my shoulders
A black haze creeps at my feet
I can see the shadows on either side waiting for a decision.
it's a game to them who gets me
Still I don't turn around
continue to stare at these walls
looking between the beginning and what could be the end
what did I miss.
Had i at all.
Knowing they see my thoughts
I ask them nothing
eacth pulled me in a different direction making my choices justifiable.
I was never good enough to be good
never bad enough for the bad
feel like I've died a thousand times
I've given enough
so much I ended up slipping through the cracks.
left in that small space
.life is easy
you two made it difficult
I don't want to see your faces
Do not want to remember them
you do not deserve to see mine.
my decision is this empty space
this little place in purgatory
this is my home
