On this island,
I'm suffocating.
Dying of thirst,
walking aimlessly,
with nothing on the horizon.
I need to go somewhere
not encased in death
or depression.
Somewhere I can't drown.
Somewhere the tidal wave can't reach.
Somewhere with sunshine.
Somewhere dry and endless.
Somewhere I can get lost,
and never be found.
With all unknown faces, new.
Not this trap I'm stuck on.
Everyone knows each-others business
but no one knows it.
I want to know
I'm unknown.

I'm like the tip of your cigarette,
red hot.
I'm your addiction
you cant get enough.
You have a bad habit
of smoking
to the filter.
Giving the cherry
no room to breathe.
You want more
so you use the dying ember
to light me up in any way.
I'm being used
over and over,
until your whole pack is gone.
And you're left with hot filter.
You try for one last drag
on your cancer encrusted lips
that you loved me with so much.
And in the end, I burn you
and **** you.

It's done.
We're finished.
We've changed with the season.
It's over,
I'm sorry.
A wintry grave
holds our
love.
The ice has thinned
under us.
Our bitter cold romance
never warmed
with Spring.
I finally did it.

I wonder how you are..
If I tried to talk to you
would you respond?
Glare at me with those
perfectly frigid eyes?
I'm told to give you time..
You're "probably still upset".
I'm sorry for being
the cause.

How does the universe heal
from all of the wounds
we've bestowed?

I think
it's because
the universe is so big
and what we do to it is so
minuscule
when put on a scale
with what it does to itself..
And what it's already been through and
is yet to experience.

The problem is
how big of a deal we make it
when its happening.
Rather then accepting and moving with
the pull of the cosmos.

I'm definitely
going through something
right now..
I wonder
how I'm supposed to
deal with this..

I think
I just miss you.

My life isn't going to stop
because of you.
I wont let it.
Sorry.

We are molecules
and atoms
on a zit
on the ***
of the universe.
Why do we
make big deals
out of anything?

Sometimes I just want to
reintroduce old habits.
Swallow that "friend" and
feel more secure.
Chase it with a shot
or two.
Numb the everyday angst.
Deplete the panic and anxiety
back to the depths of my mind,
now cloudy and calm.
There will be no more rain
for the time being.
My "friends" are there for me.
But reality has a way of attacking
and protruding through the clouds
like a missile
aimed directly at my center
and prematurely crumbling core.
