If you know, you know
Content Warning - Plus, I'm okay.
If you know, you know
lights red
time green
step on future
end future
easy for me
to let go
to give in
auto collision desires
tyremarks
leave marks
erase soul marks
Selfish? yes
easy for me
not behind the wheel
under wheel
blackout
quick fix
no fix
pain inherited
by...
those left behind
if you know, you know
"it doesn't really matter"
one step
off the pavement
into nothing
the pull is strong
dive into the cold
loch, lake or river
pulled under
the undercurrent
erase the undercurrent
of sadness
powering my soul
chilling me
erasing everything
blue skin
easy for me
struggle for breath
struggle to stay afloat
pulled under
the lack of breath
the end
quick fix
Blackout
quick fix
no fix
pain inherited
by...everyone left behind
Selfish? yes
easy for me
not the search party
if you know, you know
one dive
off the shore
into nothing
if you know, I'm sorry
burden
may always be there
behind everything
but
hope is there
lift it
give it
burden
pain
suffering
weight of all
suffocating you
help is there
if you know, you know
reach out
under the wheel
under the current
doesn't need to be the end
"Everybody Hurts"
headlights
searchlights
don't need to be the end

Thanks for reading!
Author's Notes: More trickle-trickle- publishing. Trust me, I'm alright. Despite how it sounds. Just expressing, getting rid of some stuff.
For something different...
