Rip

Stay true to your mind
Inner calm, inner calm
Inner...
...
Buckling under pressure
Stay true to yourself
A few minutes
All these questions
Could've...
Thought...
About...
That...
Before...

Stop.

...

Inner calm
Breathe

It's cold
It's too ******* cold
Help
Help
It's getting worse
Help.

What's that?
I think it's the door
I focus on that little worming, niggling voice
Burning
In the back of my throat

There's no point.
Help.
HELP

I Can't

How is it that I feel numbness and such pain all at once?

I feel the tears welling in my eyes but they never break through. I feel the pressure, the weight on my chest but tenseness all over my body. I feel angry, hurt, sad, and nothing all at the same time.

I can't focus on anything, I am debilitated. I can't eat, I can't sleep, I can't be.

Do it.

A Puzzle Too Me

Stuck forever in her mind
Oh sweetheart why am I
In what I don't seem to understand her,
Stuck for now until ever
I'm puzzled by this matter.

I ask her help she laughs
But the problems never go away her love or mine
You can't pass true love by
Happiness or sadness,

Real or fake?
My brain has frozen
My mind is a mess
In search of love oh wait
Or Death.

Puzzled by life
Puzzled by love
Truly puzzled by her
Love she loves me
She loves me not...
How do escape
This nightmare
It can't go on
I need to get out
Of this place
There are no
Doors around

Only the sound
Of madness
Running wild

Where am I?

No hints from her
Nor is there a walk way
But I never knew
What love could do
To me it's my love or her love

But trying to understand
True Love is truly

A puzzle to me.......

Her Or Me

Insomnia #3

This is it.
The role of the dice so maybe I can finally sleep,
Hopefully these are the last words I write so my heart can slow to the creeping I wish It'd be,
So I can dream of things that I will never have to have the pleasure of seeing again.

Insomnia #2

Immaculately organizing every letter of the alphabet in slightly different ways to make what you read today.

My brain is the battery charged with the words I say in different ways,
And until I am depleted,
I am defeated to keep writing the words flowing like a fresh summer's flash flood monsoon,

Hopefully soon I will fall asleep,
So I can put away this curse of a brain that keeps saying things I can't help but see.
