Hope

Tayla Graham Nov 2013

Hope

It's 3 o'clock in the morning.
I finally finished my mourning,
Of you grandad.

I can only hope the other side is better
Where people don't pretend
And happiness is never constricted.

Till the world is old and dying
You forever will be great.
Immortal in my juvenile eyes.
Immortal in my aching heart.

Decline

Tayla Graham Nov 2013

Decline

Frosty air contrasts the steamy window.
Us together?
Big swigs of hope followed by long snorts of despair
Us a pair?

Throbbing hearts and shattered smiles.
Us inseparable?
The decline of our worries became the decline of
Us.
Single.

Lonely

Tayla Graham Nov 2013

Lonely

Darkness falls on summer days.
Why do I feel so lonely?
Family, friends and lovers few.
I shouldn't feel so lonely.

Is there anyone to fix me?

Happiness

Tayla Graham Nov 2013

Happiness

Black again.
Corner walls pulling me in.
Swallowing me whole.
I refrain from human contact.

Doctor, doctor what is wrong with me?
Yellow and round, 12.5mg.
Is this the form of happiness?
Swallow.

Lows are low, dense and confusing.
Highs are more than that, the best of times.

Darling pill are you my happiness?
Seems to be.
I need someone to save me.

Baby

Tayla Graham Nov 2013

Baby

I can feel you breath against my neck.
I can feel your heart against my chest.
Breathing in, moaning out.
Whisper my name.
I hear it echo in my hollow thoughts.
Thinking nothing, feeling everything.
Baby, I never want this to end.
