My thoughts—
wandering
like ripples in your pond
so soft and comforting
You—
pondering
those ephemeral memories are
summer showers and mid spring reveries
not heavy, but welcoming,
Your thoughts—
Like storms in my once-calm ocean
Destructive and rendering
Your sanity waning, trembling
Like the moon before it sinks into the horizon begging
To see his lover once more
Your thoughts—
Like the sky when it weeps
For the lovers that will never meet
You—
No longer caring if your wings burn
You never wanted to try and save yourself, after all.
You fall.
Your thoughts—
Like storms in my once-calm ocean
While I lay with no notion
Of what you meant to say
And what lies you're caught in
Your thoughts—
In silence give you pain
Closing off your heart
All your words, your love, gone in vain
You never wanted to fly,
So you don't care if you plummet into the devil's realm.
You fall. Your thoughts overwhelm
Your mind, everything scatters as
Your wings bend backwards.
And you fall.
Quietly still,
You slowly sink in the pain
As it overfills, a handful
Of pills forced down your throat,
Choking you,
Yet the wounds remain—
Serenely still,
You're the emptiness at
The heart of a tornado,
Dully moving in the heart of chaos,
A vacant room
At the price of your happiness
The Omelas suffering child,
Collecting lost innocence,
It's your destruction you can't hide.
The venom in your veins
Strains your heart, embracing you,
The crows, they rip you apart as
They try to get you to fly again
Numb, is it safe to be sane
In the middle?
Who knows?
Give your soul to the crows.
Eerily still,
The storm inverts itself within
And this time the world is silent
Bask in your silence as you
Bask in your pain
It silently kills
And even the loudest shrills
Ring quiet in our abyss.
