It's Cold Down Here on the Floor
10/01/2020 Abandoned by my stronghold
Down. Heavy. Lost. Uncertain. Hurt. Guilty. Scared. Unhealthy.
Even her emotions can't get it right. Lungs short, chest tight, pain about to burst with all her weak might. I still fought as the time ticked by. We had talked, you knew why; how could you not know why? Pills passed so easily; is that your way of saying "ssshhh, ssshhh"? Oh, settle now dear slow down the race in your mind that never really begins, and will never end. Aye, lover, f*ck you! A pat on the head and abandonment, I'm edging closer to losing faith in even your humanity. Where have you been? Where will you be? I'm at your f*cking door when you need me!

Hypocrite
Close my eyes, I've been blind, the pages flick by flashing like a movie clip. Visions of a journal, one from a deranged mind. It has always been there, slowly etching the papers away, yet hidden in disguise. She's always been gone onto a different plane, born from a soul extensively cursed. To feel all so vehemently. Their laughter resounds from the shallows, while the depths surround me placidly. Just a ripple, that's all she can be. Too much pressure, it's becoming difficult to breathe. Do I stay ME, or flee? Be what they want me to be just so she is perceived?
