Our body won't keep us in for long.
Our body is rejecting us, but we refuse to feel it.

Our body is telling us something, something deep within our reach.
Our body is telling us to go, go within our needs.

But we refuse to feel it.
Our body is rotting, the days the wind blows the dusts of us go.

Our body is telling us something...

Deep within the self, not one can fulfil by self.
The smoke is clouding my vision of you
          You're starting to become less clear
              I feel you fading away
       You're voice I can no longer hear
A nightmare I can't wake up from
        Endlessly chased by demons
                It's Scary
       You used to rescue me
Now I'm drowning in the deep sea
        And there's no one here for me
                  Someone Save Me
       I lay here kicking and screaming
Wake me up from this dream
        I want to come back to reality
              There's gotta be more than this
      This nightmare, this dream
Where you're no longer here to help me
      Just make it all go away
              End My Suffering
      Right now, today, in this place
I'm dying, it's happening
         This is my fall from Grace
               *Someone Save Me
I think all this time
I've just grown fond
Of the idea of being something new within you
Instead of just the skin that brushes yours
I want to become an out-of-place oddity
Of your interior
A twist in your spine
A nervous twitch in your shaking hands
An off tempo beat in your heart
Something much more personal and unique
Than I can express on the outside
You've become a fire in my lungs
I just wish to return the favor

I read poetry by candle light,
It won't be wrong,
But if I might,

Stay here long,
Stay here bright.
Be my song,
Be my night.
Breathe: in…out. Lighter with each
breath. Floating like a balloon
in tune with all that has not been reached,

Quick.

Bare soles covered in earth;
flourishing. Legs intertwined
in vines. A natural rebirth,

Quick.

A refreshing wave from head
to toe, forming roots beneath
my feet. Skin begins to shed,

Slow.

Driven by the same desires
Trying to outdo time
Dying to achieve the bounty
Racing through the tracks
Rash driving, causing crashes
Simple desires, not simple anymore
Indifferences and lack of emotions
Relationships drifting away
Melting like the glaciers
Submerging in the icy cold waters
Human bonding seems to be fragile
Ragged threads giving away to the weight
Everyone fighting a battle within
Imaginary demons slaying the soul
If only we could salvage the remaining
Not being in the race against time
Taking a path which suits us
For we are destined to a certain amount
Not more, not less; enough to balance
Our life is precious, join the adventure
But not the adventure to outdo fate
Desire to live, without the external pressures
Taking out time to love enough
For love is never enough, no matter how much we share

You said I was your everything on Monday
You said you missed me on Tuesday
You said you liked talking to me on Wednesday
You said "fine" and "sure" and "lol" and "ya" on Thursday
You said something came up and you couldn't see me on Friday
You said nothing on Saturday
You said nothing on Sunday
You cancelled on me again.

****** me with your madness
Pull me in with your spiraling illusions
Paint swirls beneath my eyelids
trickle words into my pores
Make my breath a choke without your power
Make the screams come out my ears
Hot words swell on my tongue
Send me from this stiffening reality
in, to the elastic world of light
or is it darkness
the image is not mine
You pasted it to my eyes
You remove it
Or forever I will pace my castle in the air.
