#caving
Down here, the river is king,
It’s path through the rocks,
Is how it does sing,
Tunnels and chambers,
Left only in it’s wake,
The beauty of nature’s,
Elegant mistakes.
Time does stand still,
And the air fails to travel,
Light dances endlessly,
Above the gravel,
But the majestic secrets,
This dwelling does hold,
Will reveal themselves,
To only the bold

I'm sad and hate who I've become
Everything is caving in
Because I'm all out of options
I don't know how to win
And if I'd face the awful facts
For one day in my life
I'd see that the only way out
Would be to end everything with a knife

Hope is shrinking
Light is dimming
Walls are caving in
and everything seems to diffusing into blue.
It's all heavy and dark
draining and enveloping.
And all I want to do is put a pause on life
to make everything stop moving on
dragging me along with it
as the abyss is plunging me
in like a dark hole.

Under dramatic
Anticlimactic
Words left unwritten
By long dead hands
And real horrors
Come in dreams
Chase scenes
Creeping things
Without respite
Without avail
Nightmare endings
To day dream prose

I miss you
my beautiful beast.
My angry muse;
a perfect reflection
of who I once was.
The last time I saw
the pale lines
that made up
you,
I lost it.
I was convinced you'd
be the last person I ever saw.
I was convinced
I'd die with you
clawing your way
through my brain.
I couldn't get away from you.
I didn't want to;
until I did.
Until I called some
friends I had not yet met.
They wanted to show me the way.
They wanted to know if I knew the way.
I did not my love.
I tried to tell them I hated you.
I swore I'd rid myself of you
but I always felt invincible
when you were killing me.
I couldn't stay away from you long,
could I?
When I felt I had failed,
when I knew it was over,
when it wasn't,
I felt sorry for myself.
I felt alone.
And we're not meant to be alone.
No-one's meant to be alone.
That's why I picked up where I
left off
when I returned to you.
They thought they'd flushed you
out of my system.
But no,
I know
where to find you
when the pity party
has come to a close.
Call it luck.
Call it fate.
But I needed to taste you,
and then to hate you,
one last time,
before it was
too late.

eyes open or closed, it makes no difference
down here the world is void of light
I sink under the earth's skin of dirt and hair of grass
into the bone structure that is the caverns of rock below
empty and silent
Handicapped, I'm blind to this world
Is it not strange to fall while climbing underground?
hollowness in my body mirrors the air I breathe
and stillness controls the atmosphere
of a tomb more lifeless than the body inside it
My mental state is the maze of boulders I can't navigate alone
lost half a mile in, how far up I don't know
but I crawl on my back and squeeze through physical barriers
deeper still and
I swear to you there is nothing like climbing up into the sunlight onto a ceiling of snow and pebbles that you looked at from below.

I'm caving in
So small none can see
Yet a glimmer of your image
Shines through my mind
Pushing me to grow
Into a beautiful flower
Extending my leaves and petals
Attracting butterflies
Attracting bees
They mirror his stinging words
His actions hurt me
Diminishing my image of you
To become so small
None can see
That I'm caving in
