If I could come to you ..

be there for you
speak no words,
just hold you
in my arms,
place my hand in yours ..

I would

◇

If I could be there ..

let you know
with my eyes
that all will be well,
just sit with you ..

I would

◇

If I could be at your side

take your pain,
caress the hurt,
kiss your tears
with my hand on your heart ..

I would

I'm straddling happy and cluttered, stuck on a broken plank on some worn down bridge.

Darling, you're just hurting yourself. But then again, just by thinking about you, so am I—looks like we're no better than each other, fighting a war with only casualties.

I'm tired, but I've bitten off more than I can chew and I'm just trying to swallow my collateral damage.

I hope you're well. I hope you're not.

"But it might also be that you are getting drunk on painful thoughts and difficult feelings and old regrets. But whatever you are overindulging in now, you need to stop."
Horoscopes always manage to string some chords in your out-of-tune mindset.

Two more weeks and it'll all be over.
But I'm a failure either way.

In a week, I'll be another year older, but I've never felt more naïve.

It's just sad how attached we become to pieces of cloth and brick that will only wear down or break away.

Even how we make homes of people who were naturally born nomadic.

I woke up to screams, so loudly and piercing I felt my heart stop

and seems as if it leaped out of my body,

I kept hearing it

and it seemed to get louder & louder,

a beautiful siren's hollow cries

and wails calling from the unknown darkest places

I've longs to forget

and in the mist of the midnight those screams

haunted me awake,

I felt chills

and fear like never before, it got closer louder even still

and my whole being froze,

I can feel the blood in me go cold and as dark

as I am I'm sure I was a ghostly white

when I felt another's present

and those screams seems to go on forever,

I couldn't open my eyes,

I was to afraid to see what might come next,

at best

I thought whatever it was it'd get me,

I hide under the blankets and seems the screams followed me,

I jumped outta bed with my eyes closed

and

pressed myself against the walls,

I tried

oh how I tried to call out but

the problem

was it was

I the one

letting out this uncontrollable

SCREAM!
