Lost In Space

Besieged the stars upon the sky
Painted dark as comets cry
I wish I may, try as I might
I cannot wish on stars tonight
Extinguishing novae
Apocalypse decays
Constellations erased
As I'm lost in space

descent

I reach thru shadows
a moment of warmth
a flame underwater
collectin light I cannot drink

I have fallen
into the space
where echoes go
to die

this is where I end

dear death

Take me home, I beg of thee.
Take my hand, and set me free.

Dear death, please hear my plea
Release me from this misery.

Sadness

Sadness is worst of visits.
She drinks all our tea.
Devours all the cupcakes
and never goes away.

Laundry Monster

The laundry seems to watch me from the shadows
A grumpy wadded lump of yesterday's troubles.
I can't bring myself to wash it out.

Awake to despair

I dream of sleep
I sleep to dream
Wake up
Repeat
Again

Shards

When i reflected
Upon the last year
I found the mirror
Cracked
Wherein lay
A myriad of distorted memories
Upon every broken shard
As parts of me
Lay scattered
Upon the wasteland
Of my existence

Dead

My body slowly becomes intertwined with the soil,
Feeding the worms , giving back to the earth.
I have never felt so free.

A Hold on Me

something’s
gripping tight
the air
suffocates

walls lean in
like whispers
and the devil's
knuckles knock

who is it inside
I’m fading away
lost in the echo
of my own voice
