Blight
04:39
|
|||
|
cavernous mind
always taking me to darker places.
struggling to
find my way out of this labyrinth.
the only way I know
how to navigate
is by going further in
and learning of each blighted path.
tell me there is
a better way
than drowning myself
in the deep recesses.

Despair
08:56
|
|||
|
reaper of death, sweep me off my feet
lay me to rest, an eternal sleep
carrion birds, devour the meat
the soul divides, and the blood will seep.
fathomless illusions
cold-hearted retribution
shatter my petty delusion
of natural resolution.
through
the cracks of the earth
and into a realm
where there's no rebirth.
this overbearing situation
this tawdry look at life
I can't remember the last time
I looked myself in the eyes.
harem of ignorance
global degrading radiance
catalyst of deprivance
empty of consequence.
now look me in the eyes
tell me I'm wrong
tell me they're lies.
this degeneration of man
should be no surprise.

Glimmer
06:10
|
|||
|
the glimmer in your eye
is what separates me from the dark.
makes me feel whole in
a sea of incomplete hearts.
you were the single bolt
of energy needed
to create the spark.
my life now feels more than
just the sum of its parts.
the earth rotates beneath our feet
but my heart only moves for you.
with a soul that glows as bright
as that wide open ocean blue.
of all the fish said to be in the sea
you're the only one I would keep
and you are the only one that makes me
unafraid of the unknown, of the deep.

Unbearable
06:05
|
|||
|
unbearable is
the agony of living in a permanent state of writhing in pain
from the chemical reaction created by these feelings of my self worth
amounting to the grains of sand left on my palms
when I narrowly escape from the quicksand
of deep depression.
still choking on the arid climate
that never seems to leave me be.
my bones wringing my flesh
into burls.
untwist this flesh that feels like
rubbing salt into a wound
whenever it is
inflamed by my circumstances.
struggling to
alleviate the symptoms
of anxiety's grip on my chest.
I've survived another unbearable day.

Stutter Through Dark
07:11
|
|||
|
heart racing, awake before sun
lying in wait I can't handle
eyes stutter through the dark
internal systems dismantled.
counting the cracks in the floor
from one tile to another
careful system of back and forth
one foot after the other.
I am always staring at the door
scared
unable to reach the knob
it screams for air.
unprepared to leave
time surmounts
waiting to snuff out the candle
it flickers out.
through the brightest black
steady stream of unconscious thought
rapid movements cease
unprovoked pain becomes lost.
wind fills lungs in open air
the sky seems clear today
uninterested in what's below
or natural decay.
walking through the arch
shooting at the breeze
gentle bedside manner
to put my mind at ease.
no desire to part
from a soul of shape
eternity in heart
through time and space.

Dim
09:03
|
|||
|
there is a time
you find yourself
surrounded by
lights from
spirits so good
they change your life.
eventually I crumble
at the dimming of a light.
the aching regret
brings me to my knees.
we all cry
when angels die
suddenly
stricken with the reality
of our own soul's worth
and mortality
we sometimes forget.
I dissolve today
the third angel to return.
spirits never dying
only reminding me
of earthly legends
never forget.
