Bleeding ears
Tinittus
Not from me, must be you
Noise pollution
Covering eyes and ears
Like you could look
The mirror reveals all
Who caused this pollution?
Species, for all to see
Never slurred or stuttered
Cold hard truth
Warmed by hands
With blood all over

Alone
Alone
Alone
I think I’m going crazy
Talking to myself
Questioning if I’m even alive
Hurting myself to see if I can even feel
Alone
Alone
Alone
Me and the sound of the air conditioner buzzing
Me and my million thoughts that all drown each other out
And it’s summer
I’m supposed to be happy
But I’m broken
Broken and
Alone
Alone
Alone
I just want someone to answer the **** phone
And I’m just so ******* sad
So so sad
And when people are sad they’re supposed to ******* cry
But my eyes are dry
Dry and sad
Sad and
Alone
Alone
Alone
I wanna see red pour down my body
The color to make me feel alive
Vibrant unlike my head which seems grey
Grey grey grey
Did you know grey is my least favorite color?
It feels so empty
Empty and
Alone
Alone
Alone
Like me
I’m my least favorite too
And I just slapped myself
My cheeks burn
And I want someone to reach out and stop me
But no
I’m just so utterly
Alone
Alone
Alone

what if
the world crumbled beneath my feet
and the sun
burned me to ash?
what if
the grass turned yellow
and lifeless,
while the sky fell
all around me?
what if
the oxygen i breathe
escaped my home
and left me gasping
for air?
what if
i lost it all
today?
do you know of my world?
my sun?
my land and sky?
the air i breathe?
my all?
my everything.
he has a name.
it's one of the most
beautiful sounds
my ears have been blessed
to hear.
the galaxy's stars
dance in my eyes
when i gaze upon him.
my heartbeat flutters
and pounds the air
out of my chest
when he calls me
by name.
what if
my home,
my world,
my everything
turned
into nothing?
the thoughts of losing someone
i never thought
i'd come to love
so much
keeps me awake at night.
what if
he left,
here today,
gone tomorrow?
what if
the love we planted
together
died
and dried up,
no salvation,
no remorse,
no more seeds
to plant.
my very soul
would cease to exist
because how do you survive
with absolutely
nothing?

Loaf to slices
Crackers to crumbs
Savings to starving
Space to crowds
Smiles to frowns
Every generation, worst to best
Returning empty-handed
Just like the rest

The aroma filled with a thick smoke
The campfire vastly burning the oak
The feeling of the soft breeze
The sound of the shuffling trees
The guitar, wind, and people singing
The two hammocks swinging
The laughing and gleeful smiles
The joyous break from life’s trials
The moon shining in the sky
The moonlight’s glare in my eye
The stars twinkling bright
The wounds healed to a perfect night

Why
does every word
you say
remind me
of a better day
