With soggy sight and leaden heart Path is hard to navigate Stumbling on snakes slithering underfoot Faltering under hefty weight I want to feel light again For an hour or maybe two Since you vanished from this earth Found floating impossible to do Nothing hits senses like before Shackled by all I have lost Athough summer has graced us with warmth Surroundings are coated with a layer of frost Everything touched crumbles to ashes I am terrified to move at all If I step and the ground gives way beneath me Will be ****** to an eternal freefall I'm too puny to pull myself up from the dirt Only manage to splash in the mud Skin stretching until wounds reopen Apologies painted in blood An ocean of shame pours out my eyes Salty like the sea Taste is sour in my mouth Wish thoughts would just let me be I strive to stifle sorrows to no avail With any substance fingers can find No matter how high my body gets Unable to detach from my mind The pain in soul won't let me grow numb If going to work it would have by now Try distracting myself from the terrible truth Second of relief more than life will allow I cannot help but dwell on past moments Making my head stagger and spin Turning mistakes over and over in hands I am consumed by agony within I am hunted by savage animal Known by name of regret Haunted by ghosts all sharing your name Guaranteeing I won't ever forget

Soggy Sight
At the end of rain The earth is soggy Weather is chilly And faces are sun in the shiny Morning

At the end
trees luxuriate, dog’s life gets soggy and vain; isn’t the rain same?

What the rain did?
Steel-wool clouds The rain is milk, Soggy cereal leaves, Squish under my feet Sausage leftover legs, Soaked, Coffee puddles and Bones Pitter patter Fail, Words make me Rip em out, chew too long, Spit em out, Give out, Give in, Disposal Mind’s expression is Poultry heart, Self-cannibalism, Genius’s passage To the heart, costs, Cuts- Sacrifice.

The Sink
Soggy shoes, rain in blues, the frigid water splashing, on my toes; from heels it flew, walking here, just me and you. Poking fun, the water runs, from my feet, from our cheeks, my steps align, from puddles they lie, you cast aside a funny glance. One wrong step, feet and legs all wet, what a mistake, the ripples make, displaced by our steps within the rain, perhaps they'll be okay. What a gaffe, you just laugh, these soggy shoes upon my feet, the rain seems awfully cool, soft whispers said, it's been nice spending time with you.

Soggy Shoes
You wait in the elements, for a man who never comes. You walk to the bus stop feeling hungry. "There's a sandwich in my bag, but I have no box, it must be wet." Ugh. The elderly are getting in the way, The teenagers making too much noise. The bus is packed, It's very steamy, yet cold. You think about his no show. You ponder whether he still thinks about it. But before you know it... Your thoughts turn back to; The way my feet are cold and damp, The way my coat smells like a wet dog, The way my sandwich is soggy, and The way I waited 2 hours for a person who was never turning up. I am Miserable
