The anchor is dragging, the knots have untied I’ve run out of places where secrets can hide I spent all my currency buying you time And treating your mountain as something to climb But the summit is frozen, the air is too thin And I am too tired to try and win win I’ve mended the sails while the hurricane blew But I cannot keep drowning to navigate you.. It isn’t out of anger, or closing a door... There is a quiet in admitting defeat When the rhythm of fighting just loses its beat It isn’t out of anger, or closing a door It’s just the soft whisper: I can’t try anymore! The cup has run dry and the well-spring is dead I’m packing up pieces of words that you said [Female Vocal enters, building intensity] I wished for a miracle, bled for a spark But you cannot light up a soul in the dark There is a quiet in admitting defeat When the rhythm of fighting just loses its beat It isn’t out of anger, or closing a door It’s just the soft whisper: I can’t try anymore! So here is the white flag, and here is the peace The moment the struggle is granted release I’m stepping away from the edge of the shore I’ve given you all... And I can't try anymore!

I CAN'T TRY ANYMORE
If I were given a chance to re-live I would choose the moment where you have not left yet Even to repeat that a thousand times Yet with theory where to re-live Means to create a thousand more of that instance nth of seconds that feels like an eternity And grief beyond belief Then there I'm relieved Even if I feel sorry for myself Who were shattered to be left without; A thousand fold Yet It's frightening Where my thoughts rendered Those sacrifices insignificant For me to be loved by you, Once again

Rewind
~for she who knows herself, best.. maybe~ Humans are renowned for mucking up progress, two steps forward, three back, meaning, net net; we move forward but we often forget to cherish, what too easy gets swept away, as non~progressive, old fashiond in this hands-free environment, a very fey useful place to inhabit, let us nonetheless, in a new age of unrelenting increased sun variant higher temperatures, *(which no one can deny)* curl our fingers about a PSD, a Personal Shade Device (or a ParaSolD) and as the mind roams, let us consider a PTD, a personal tongue depressor, a sort of mini-speech delayer of say 3 seconds, giving our overloaded brain a momentary pause before speaking an emotional epithet, a pause to reconsider, with variable lengths, adjustable to heart rate, BP, etc., when sensors (censors) register driving, pulling triggers, and *** being triggered, or to borrow a phrase from the advertising icons, 'The pause that refreshes" Mmm... Make a Moment into a Minute, before we whack a rude dude with our parasol(d)... just another ridiculous insight @3:53am <> Note the Word ParaSolD has been TM

The Gone Inevitable
Are you afraid? You're not alone. Are you hungry? Cold? You're not alone. Are you barely making it between paydays? I'm sure you can guess where I'm going with this. You may not want to connect with anyone. But just know: You may have been alone before. But things have changed; Your boat's not empty anymore.

Same boat
With friends and family near, Holiday cheer is here Even though it's been a trying year. And though we've shed some tears, With more to come I'm sure, Let's raise our wine, eggnog, or beer In honor of us for making it And in honor of those who aren't with us physically anymore.

Toast
Drowning in your memories, After getting abandoned. Unstable by my mind, As you remain persistent in my thoughts. Dreaming about you, As waiting for your retort. Started believing in unimaginable things, Just to make you forever mine. Loosing my smile my goals, Since you shattered me the most. Started hating from bottom of my heart, Thus, can't be loving you anymore. Though I won't be able to; As I become stable and happy with what you have left for me.

You left me
I cannot give anymore With the words in my brain That call me insane That makes me feel pain Something I can not explain I cannot give anymore My heart is too big But that’s not enough My mind is too sick Alone that is rough My lungs that hold air Are hard to compare To make me aware That I am still there They say you are useful When you are around Filling their needs Even when you are drowned With water in lungs Your heart on your sleeve Tears that leave stains You mind locked in chains I cannot give anymore And though my light is dim And my life seems grim A breath of fresh air A break from despair Where things seem calm Time ticks like a bomb I remember a day A reason to stay I cannot give anymore A light that was dim Shot off on a whim Filling with light Starting a fight My lungs fill with air My brain starts to care Winning the war I know I can say I can give more

I Cannot Give Anymore
After his exit from my heart and my life No contact no text nothing from his side Suddenly met him after so long My heart skipped a beat when I hugged him a long My hands trembled when I held his hand and looked into his eyes I got frozen when I looked him just tears rolled down from my moist eyes Heart asked; so what did you come back with I replied; his fragrance in me

His fragrance in me
I don't know if I stopped writing Because I wanted to make sure you Never saw the deepest parts of me Ever Again Or If it's because you broke me So badly. Cut So deeply, That it ripped out the deepest parts of me altogether.

Outgrown
fingertips against sore muscles constellations on skin star embedded irises reflect a universe within. stardust & moons cusp varied stages of wax & wane limitless yet weighted heavy upon my orbital plane. try as I might, I can't ignore as planets grow closer and comets soar the parallel gravitation I've tried so hard to ignore.

We can’t be friends anymore, When you are in my mind, All the time. When I keep thinking about, Your eyes and smile. Thinking about, The home we will never have, And the kids we will never raise, Do you think of me when, The darkness closes in, And the stars shine out. Just give me a sign before my heart dies like the sun at night.

Friends
The worst part is It wasn't the distance No matter how many times I'd visit You still felt like something was missing What you were convinced that I couldn't give you I had to shut that door So you would go find what you're looking for So you'd stop telling me you're going to make it work 'Cause after three months babe I don't believe you anymore

Do?
Mourning has started since you'd gone I don't know what to do In the middle of the people Losing yourself is too easy Everything and nothing is same Everyone I talk remembered me you What is the question I have to answer To do not lose you I'm talking myself so deeply Maybe I have schizophrenia My standing against the emotions Is collapsed in front of you Oh my impossible love I'm dying I want you to be with me again But I know we can't get together People won't let us to do So please go where you want Please go I don't want to remember you anymore

Clear blue skies so wide They might suffocate me Sunlight like knives Piercing my skin Making me wonder Why I should even try

dream
I took the first stick out of its pack, light it up and began to think back. The 'hello' we had back then, in the airport I went. I took the second stick out of its pack, light it up and began to think back. The type of happiness that has gone for long; as I realized your heart is a place I don't belong. Anymore.
