#collapsed
Alone in his room. Late at night, he’s collapsed in the corner. Tears spider down his face. The corruptive blade makes contact. It’s an addiction he can’t crack.

Don’t
The Calder cut a channel through the ancient stones of Elmet, sculpting minds of millstone grit in moorland weavers' kin. Poetry coursed his veins. Clotted domestric pain flooded his synapse. His shrouded fame collapsed.

you cannot force air into lungs that have long since collapsed; you cannot smile at the rain if it has always blocked the sun

living with it
i missed the times where we used to just watch scary movies and laugh through out it all instead of being scared; where we spent late nights on phone calls and text messages where we talk about everything and nothing; where we even notice the small things, where I paint our moments with a pen and a paper and you capture it with your camera; where we can just be happy by doing nothing as long as we were together; but we get caught up in the moment of our fights and misunderstandings; we started to focus on our differences and mistaken beginnings; then just like that our fantasy c o l l a p s e d with you walking away, leaving me behind with nothing; while you walked away with everything.

collapse
I took a step into my pained world and notice everything has swirled The buildings standing sternly now, seem to be upside down The blackness grows through my vision, and everything misses precision It seems everything is in slow motion and I swear I can smell the ocean I collapse into the ground, and I notice my head starts to pound I feel tears stream down my face, I close my eyes and everything erased.
