Please
Defibrillate me
I'm Dying In my pain
Please
Defibril1ate me
I'm dying In my heart
I've had my heart hurt
For so many years
Denying myself
The growth I deserve
No longer helpless,  
Defenseless. I'm free
To live my life now
So somebody please
Please
Defibrillate me
I'm dying
In my soul
Please
Defibrillate me
I'm dying
It's my heart
I've turned so cold
Away, withdrawn
Always frustrated
I'm here alone
I need a partner
Can't do it alone
I need a jump-start
Not some doggie's bone so
Please
Defibrillate me
I'm dying
In my dream
Please
Defibrillate me
Come, flying to my heart
I told the doctor
Just leave me alone
Don't need no x-ray
Pills? Oh, no, no
I need a real love
To heal me again
A ton of love, love
Not one etched in sand
So, please
Defibrillate me
I'm dying
In my pain
Please
Defibrillate me
I'm dying
In my heart
It's my heart, dying
Dying

they don’t believe me
they don’t believe me
they don’t believe me
they don’t believe me

maybe if I repeat it enough it will lull me into some sense of calm
it will become a fact, not a knife through my chest
Isobel G May 2016
I feel my whole body soften
like wax when you hold me.
Your kisses set my skin on fire
and your eyes defibrillate my heart.

all I need is a jump start
to get this engine roaring
check the tread on these tired old tyres
so I can get this show a-rolling
defibrillate my heart
awaken my sleeping senses
always so slow to start
but I know I can jump those fences
Olga Valerevna Oct 2013
A heart attack mentality went coursing through my veins
The ****** gathering adjourned and scattered to my brain
I felt the weight of heaviness crescendo all at once
But hadn't the capacity to offer a response
But then the moon ascended on my shoulder with its glow
And helped me hum a lullaby it taught me long ago
I feared I'd be incapable of singing anymore
Of holding out throughout the day the melody's encore
I made it here, the night has come to keep my veins in tact
To stabilize, defibrillate, to seize the course's path
I'm here; you're still here.

Dead in bed
mourning my death
in living amongst the living

but I live
and so I keep asking

Where is that sliver of light
that's meant to slip through the shades
and give me that last morsel of hope
to chew on for days and days
until it's mush, but I still gotta chew
because that's all life has to offer

Where is that rush of emotions
that can defibrillate my dying heartbeat
and give me that last reason
to squeeze and squeeze till it's beat
because there is no other way
no other meaning

But I could live in a world with no meaning
devoid of reason
without definitions to cling to

Because there is too much meaning in this world
All your symbols, all your f** standards
make me less of a human,
and there is nothing worse,
there is no way worse
to live in a human's world

Come together then fall apart
Defibrillate this broken heart
Draw lines to bridge that gap between
Where I end and you start

And break the laws you set in stone
Wind and sand and dirt and bone
Confound your own confusion
A house isn't always a home

Open your mind and forget what you know
And I'll forget that I don't know any better
Just know now that you're not alone
We are in this thing together

So show your inner deep down cracks
Share your secret inside laughs
And I swear I'll see the humor too
I feel funny when I'm with you

Then we'll go out and paint the sky
If you're my girl then I'm your guy
Can this joy be kept on ice?
"I'm just so happy right now,
I could die."

And everything's all out of order
I've called back the army that guarded my border
But you can't invade land that's never been owned
Are we together,
Or together alone?

It's never mattered
It matters not to me
When I look into your eyes
You're all that I can see
And all that I can know
And all I'll ever be
Is a man staring back at eyes
Forgetting how to breathe
Three or four lines borrowed from favorite songs, and one movie.

I’m your addiction
Strength 3
Get real
I’m stronger than that
Robusta
Strength 5000
Breakfast blend         
I’m your one cup cataclysm  
Though you plucked me
Though you gouged out my fruit
Though you drowned me and dried me out
Though you packaged me up, purchased me
Compressed me
Boiled me alive
I seep into your skin
Defibrillate your heart
Fair-trade
Overthrow your brain  

History will absolve me before Loose Women

Dying Star


A falling star; a dying heart.
A step too far for a shot in the dark.
A burnt out car; the ruins of a castle.
You cannot defibrillate love inside a hospital without a chapel.


A smile without fidelity;
Two eyes of glass.
A poison without a remedy.
Never take them back.


Clouds of clarity;
Give to charity.
Peace love and empathy…
Embrace the misery.


Let the sunlight shine,
Or find a place to hide.
We are all ugly on the inside.
Every day becomes a night.


Try to find your Feng shui,
Or find your own path.
Who can say,
When it is your time to begin again or to turn back?


Plant a foot;
Plant a seed.
Plant a thought…

Just make sure you succeed.

Losing yourself in the music

The speed

The lights blur past you

You scream the words to your favourite song

At the top of your lungs

Crying

Wishing he were still here with you

Not back there,

With that shot glass

Full of *****

And that other boy,

That *****

Leaving you all alone

Leaving you behind.

You thought he loved you back,

Didn’t you?

Newsflash: he didn’t.

And you’re left

Driving,

Crying,

Screaming,

Beating the steering wheel.

But

Then you see it

The car

Pulling out right in front of you

That car

Full of people

Coming home from graduation

Laughing,

Singing,

Smiling.

You try,

But you can’t stop.

It’s too close

And getting closer.

Time seems to stop

And it freezes

Like your heart seemed to

When you saw him.

Anger

Disappointment

Fear.

It all pumps violently through your veins.

You hit the car

T-bone it,

Hard.

Screams,

Tears,

Terror.

Not all of it your own.

Seconds later,

Sirens.

You feel the hands

Pulling you out of your car

And you look up

Through bloodied eyes

And see

The gurneys across the road

You sent them flying

Across the freeway

And the bodies

They’re everywhere.

Only one is left breathing

And she’s in critical condition.

They try to defibrillate

But her heart stops.

You thought you knew pain

But this was worse.

The overwhelming guilt

The shame

It weighs on you.

You knew better than to drive drunk

But you were sad

And driving always seemed to help.

Not anymore.

Nothing can help you know.

Not even his love

His sympathy

His remorse.

All that matters now

Is the gun in your hand

Pointed at your temple

Finger on the trigger

Heart beating wildly.

You remind yourself,

you deserve this.

They were younger,

Much younger.

Had so much more to look forward to

And you took it from them.

All of it.

You monster.

You pull the trigger.

The lights go out.

— The End —
