Insomnia
Today is day three of restless, sleepless nights
I’ve called out of work, can’t focus, called out twice
I’ve taken my pills, but they don’t help me sleep
I’m tossing in bed, now I’m starting to weep
I’m crying and shaking, I sit down outside
Can’t control my emotions, I’m empty inside
I feel like I’m lonely, feel sad and depressed
No sleep isn’t helping, it’s all ’cause of stress
But there’s nothing in life that’s bothering me
I don’t care about me, hold my breath, count to three
I don’t care that you left, you are better off now ...

Subtle Thoughts of Autumn
The rain falls all around me.
Its gentle, soothing music like golden chimes.
There are colors in the wind.
Reds and blues, the slight breath
of leaves in autumn.
Like fingers lightly slipping down my spine.
I am deeply hurting.
A soft infatuation.
It stings to think of him.
I gently glide my fingers through my hair,
its sweet perfume of roses and snow
rushing to greet me.
I dream of falling snowflakes,
feel deep inside me the heartbeat throb
of sadness. I turn to leave,
and instead of saying goodbye, ...

can i see you?
hey! I know it's only been a week,
can I call you though?
I'm flying high right now, but I can feel the crash coming.
yesterday was day three again,
day three is the absolute worst.
well, that is until you get to day five...
you said you needed space for a few weeks to address some issues,
was that just a ruse?
were you hinting at coming back after your volatile season or hoping that would be my final push to go?
I want to respect your wishes,
so I won't call. ...

Selfishness
The choice you made was selfish
and it broke your mother's heart
to think that her own daughter
had chose to just depart..
As she spoke about the moment
you called and said those words
she spoke of how she trembled
to even speak a words..
When paramedics rescued
the life your mother gave
I saw all of the terror
from the choice
that you had made..
So selfish was the action
to just give up and die
I am lost from all that's happened
the tears I cannot cry..
What I...

work no. 3
i abandoned all hope today
standing in front of the time clock
watched the glimmer drain
from my baby blue bloodshots
in the spiders web of software
honeyed flies they caught there
skipped lunch for stockholder cruises
i won't answer phones anymore
carpal tunnel, finger tip bruises
i'm running out of friends to ignore

Predestined
In the atmosphere of autumn
blooms a quiet death.
The descend whispers,
listen through spoken secrecy of breaths.
The trauma torments optimism,
insulting an identity and crushing a belief.
Still, watch as hope persists
even in the face of ungodly grief.
The chill seeps in,
freezing the earth-shattering emotion.
Weighed down, fingers curled tightly to support,
as fear lurks in and the faith is in remotion.
The laughter is so murderous
it leaves peace unsatisfied.
Echoing small traces among the shadows
where it was...
blooms a quiet death.
The descend whispers,
listen through spoken secrecy of breaths.
The trauma torments optimism,
insulting an identity and crushing a belief.
Still, watch as hope persists
even in the face of ungodly grief.

as fear lurks in and the faith is in remotion.

Tomorrow will kill me
The life I led, or rather used to lead
no longer brings me joy or peace,
it would seem that the simple deed,
the one I thought would give release,
has instead chained me to my bed,
confining me to the hell in my head
forever tormented by the words I need to hear
and the ones I long to say
turning my soul black with fear
forcing my heart to shatter and decay
now, I face me alone and unarmed
while you seemingly remain unalarmed
as I sit, unable to cry anymore
as the world passes by and leaves me behind
if there's a way out,...

The Heart I Can’t Let Go
I know when I am in my head
Stare blankly at the wall
I look but do not focus
Don’t see anything at all
My mind it drifts farther away
And so I let it go
I wonder where it takes me to
A place that I well know
I feel it coming on this time
Although there is no why
Emotions that I’m so scared of
My thoughts and hopes to die
It’s like a runaway train
And I feel I’ve lost control
There’s nothing of my life left now
I’m thrown into this soul
For a moment I forget them all
My husband and the...
