Something has now come between us

There is silence finally

Amongst voices

Sand

Spilling out

Between pockets of stars
Rhet Toombs Sep 2016
This agony is true

Let's hope it's really up to you

When it's very late at night

And you're laying down to sleep

I pray I'm not remembered as a ****

Or someone you can hate

I'm made of deep sweat and cigarettes

There is an ending here that I don't regret

The ending shriek of a dogs bark
As you jolt awake from this nightmare that isn't one
Rhet Toombs Sep 2016
Ribbons of your torn shirt unraveling in space

Trapped

Cold sweat

Electric violence

Tears idling on my face

It's midnight and you're proud

Eternity will keep

Your father only listens to perfection

Deeper infection follows

Your razor blade tongue

There are mountains that broke underneath your whispers to me
Rhet Toombs Sep 2016
Just for now

We will get out of this alive

Correct

Who you used to be

Ghosts steer me to a false past

And your face hasn't been clear since

This fogged window

A place for mourning

Insist on my departure

It's okay

And we're both afraid

And we're both apart

Can't seem to find my pace

My place

My safe way of going on

Maybe it really wasn't for me

And maybe your hand is clutching another's

I will feel rest and wither

A summer is spent on cures

Hands on my shoulders

Tell me to come in

It's all I have now

Sweet dying love

You are still the one

My body will break

Then the world will die alone

Maybe my lips will speak truthfully

Yours show pain from last year

That's why he thinks he loves you

I can feel the sadness grow tight

Lay in bed and beg for answers that only I can give

My garden grows

And you fall further, unaware
