Somehow the time just slips away
And today becomes yesterday
I just need to get away
Stop everything and breathe.

I feel myself wearing thin
Always showing a fake grin
Yet inside I’m caving in
I’m stuck and I can’t breathe.

I used to be so full of bliss
How did things come to this?
I’m drowning in the abyss
All alone and I can’t breathe.

I tell myself to hold on
Just stay strong until the dawn
Then all of this will be gone
And I’ll be free to finally breathe.
the parentheses
of your lonely smile don't
haunt me anymore
I’ve got an axe to grind, so am sharpening it
on the wheel of my wit — hey;
blunt-force-trauma’s enough to a **** a man.

Who, by right, should’ve been an abortion.
I’d unflinchingly watch dogs
rip him to pieces.

In-fact I’d whistle
and call more dogs. But I
wouldn’t be the only one doing this.

If we were in space
I’d smash his visor
then ****** when he pops.

If this were to happen
it would, just mean that
I got there first.

If he were dangling off a cliff
to the bottom I would race
inflate a mattress to safely catch.

But I’d fill it with rocks and knives  
just to be sure.
To be sure, to be sure!
On drifting winds
fly fragile things
the memories gone by
the peaceful dreams of yesterday
on frailest wings they fly
A faded picture, in broken frame
before the blinded eyes
Ever different, never the same
a river that never dries
Memories that drift away
on oceans of nostalgia
the blissful present of yesterday
unappreciated
Simplicity and happiness
Ignorance and love
the confidence of childhood
no thoughts of beyond, above.
All have once missed
that of long ago
Seeking that which is lost
we search
although we know.

— The End —
