Turning tables
Spinning chairs
No worries
No cares
Round and round
You go again
The faster you go
The faster you spin
Out of control
Spiraling down the rabbit hole
Falling slowly
Into a darker depression
Going deeper into the black depths of the rabbit hole
Lost in Wonderland
No escaping, hitting rock bottom
Since the minute that you began....
Silverflame Apr 2019
The city's drowsiness
seeps into the bus,
leaving behind misty
eyes and empty promises
of a better tomorrow.
For a while, everything
seems perfect.
But I know I'm playing
a dangerous game
with this self-fabricated
pipedream.
It will eventually
burst and leave me
halfway there, enveloped
in a nirvana of despair.
Despite knowing this,
I still dive in; head first.

A lonely snowdrop initiates the dance
out in the woods on the bare ground
they emerge, one by one
as shooting stars on a highway
they embroider a blanket of white serenity
to embrace spring and greet her once again

pick up the blade they spoke to me
Put it against your skin.
Press the blade on your arm and feel the relief set in.

You’ll feel no more pain.
You’ll sense no more suffering.
You’ll finally relax your organs and sense your memories buffering.
You’ll finally be at rest, your demons won't speak to you.
They’ll lower you to your bed and clean up all your issues

You felt the light so close but decided to push it away.
To search for your own light, why did you decide to stay?
You’ve suffered enough pain but you chose to fight it.
I don’t understand your choice, that’s why I’ve never tried it.
You chose to put the blade down and clean your head of thoughts.
You decide to continue living and fight what life brought.
I don’t understand your choice, that’s why I’ve never tried it.
But I’ll remember it all the next time you try to fight it.
