I remember
That day when we went for a "small" getaway.
Still not summer
But it was hot enough that day.
That day we saw
Maybe the most beautifully surreal sunset.
Respecting no law
We just sat and stared at it.
Couldn't take our eyes off
The magnificent illusions of the sun.

We drove off
And the music begun.
On our merry way of contemplating
About planets and their orbiting
Stars and their loved nobodies.
We sang away to all the melodies.

Night was swallowing up our car
But we we're still marveling at every star.
And it's one of those only times I felt free
That's what freedom felt like to me.

It was also the first time I felt this type of love
Platonic
In love with someone's soul
Deliric
In love with the world
I'm in.
The only moment I had with no worry
And i thought this is the perfect moment to write  about it
One of my only happy memories.

It seems so ethereal now
So unreachable.
But to that moment I bow
Now I'm alone.
For that moment now I grieve.
There's none of that freedom left for me.
But the getaway remains
In our beloved rotting brains.
I've lost it all
Haven't I?

I really don't know what's with Friday the 13th
They said it's like Nightmare on Elm Street
Something bad will happen today, isn't it?
Let's see, I'll wait till 12 in the midnight

For me. .

Everyday is Friday the 13th since you left me
Darkness, nightmares, pain is all I feel and see
Come back to me baby, please annoy me
Only you can make my life lively

I love you Honey. .

13 letters this 13th of Friday
I hope you're always happy each day
These are the only words I wanna say
Come with me and let's run away

13 pills
5 in the morning
8 in the evening

I have to swallow them
One by one
Just to stay sane

They catch in my throat
Choke my screams on their way out

Keep my tears at bay
Before they fall

They slow the voices
In their chatter

Keeping the anxiety
From grasping and pulling at my heart
And pooling in the pit of my stomach

Or...

At least they're supposed to.

But my screams
Still stain the air

I still hear voices
Bouncing back and forth
In my skull

My heart clenches
My stomach tightens
With the anxiety that is supposed to be gone

And still I swallow
8 pills each night
5 pills each morning

13 pills each day
I know that this sounds like a complaint, but really I'm just struggling to stay sane through all of these meds and their side-affects. Poetry helps.

My hood was
            my graveyard...

They'll not remember me,
               as bones feed roses...

My wooden staircase creaks

      [a heart broken by feet]

and weeks the measure my neck

what month-long that noose stretched!

A hooded man in black

  shared a joke a pun the trapdoor
               I fell

   for the line

a broken neck upon

   a heart string
