There is a gravity to
sadness; it pulls me
downward into a
deep dark well.
I can't climb out.
It's my own private hell.
I pray for levitation.
I jump, only to fall.
I feel forgotten.

I put one foot in
front of the other,
and I will rise.
I move on.
Hope returns like
a long lost friend,
and I find my sanctuary.
I have 2 and a half weeks sober  I went to the hospital and had 2 withdraw seizures.  I fell and hit my head, I got a concussion and a small brain bleed, I am hopeful.
a quivering combust
from this disgrace:
in fuss speak low run fast
recover all you must
a key is now misplaced
them us them us
retaliate but never trust
the more you hate
the more to ask for
help
the more the less
alas
My lines are there to scarcely read between them but all I can is hope you do the math.
First it steals small names
   then dreams of cunning lust.
   It smothers white hot desire
   then steals my flaccid trust.

   It hides joys I knew and my
   hate I once kept in my head
   steals lovers not forgotten.
   It buries me before I'm dead.
i love love
painful love
tender love
every bit of your love
love that stains
love that hurts
love that heals
love that you remember forever
and love that makes you forget
the only real truth in life
and reason being here
I tried and I cried
same time every night

I used everything
to numb my head

from the smoke
to the drink
I closed my eyes
to help me think

you were here
but you left me

so who is this
who’s laying
in our bed
Come dance with me
Let’s dance up in the stars
Let’s tickle the moon
Let’s fly

Come dance with me
Let’s dance until sunrise
Let’s visit Mars and Venus
And all there is

Come dance with me
Into our future
Hold my hand
And walk along the beach

Come dance with me
Let’s walk by the Seine
Visit the Tower of London
Let’s see the islands of Greece

Come dance with me
Forever
