Racing down this road
at 120mph
we’re speeding through time,
faces blur, words slur
forgotten days, forgotten weeks;
we’re speeding through time
at 120mph
I hope we don’t get caught
by the blue flashing light;
we’re speeding through time
at 120mph
just you and I in the front seat
touching now and then;
we’re speeding, we’re flying
we’re defying the rules,
until you throw this car
into full reverse;
we’re back, back [...]
It creeps out of dark corners
it slithers into view
it crawls into my head
it slides beneath my radar–
this monster, it coaxes me
it unravels me, entices me–
you are the monster,
you are the creeper,
slithering, crawling,
unraveling, enticing–
you are the burning in my body,
you are the monster in my head,
you are the taunting in my bed–
you are the monster
who taunts [...]
I feel alone, small and fragile,
my red hot salty tears drip,
drip, drip, drip
from my eyelids
down my cheeks
past my parted lips
trickling over my jawbone,
disappearing–
I am alone, delicate and broken,
my old, once red hot tears
have fallen, like brave soldiers–
I am afraid, afraid of solitude,
unaccompanied like those buried
deep beneath the soil we walk upon–
I am terrified, frightened and [...]
Rip the ties to our hearts,
tear at the strings bound so tightly,
wrench our lives apart,
pull our halves apart,
tug at our seams
pry us away
and let us forget;
forget and pretend;
pretend we no longer ache;
ache for the other.
Something rough, I’ve read it through once to make sure I didn’t typo… but otherwise, pretty raw.
I don’t want to edit this until I get some kind of feedback on it, I’m feeling very critical of myself at the moment, so I can’t trust my thoughts on this! What are your thoughts?
You’re swimming,
swimming through [...]
Do you remember the first time
you held my hand;
gently teasing me, you held my hand
daring me to say no–
Do you remember the way
we would hold hands,
so innocently young
so in love–
Do you remember the way
I’d look into your eyes;
as if the answers lay within you,
begging you to show yourself to me
entirely–
Do you remember the first time
you [...]
Her eyes droop and close,
a ragged cough, a forced
breath–
her frail hand, worn and beautiful
clasps his, in hers
a practiced movement;
laced fingers, slotting together
like old puzzle pieces–
his lips move, but he does not speak,
their hands gripping one another
tighten briefly–
her eyelids half-open,
lips part, unsteady breathing louder now,
she coughs,
and closes her mouth–
his body frigid momentarily,
and then he loses it,
abruptly [...]
