“Untitled”
Heaviness, Adrenaline
You touch my hands
and let them linger.
My fingers cold, clammy
The air is heavy
Time is still
The tables are turned
But not really
You read into me
Your needs craving my own
I give you my hand
and you take me
The world is empty
Life is suddenly clear and real
I am with you
Yet I am so alone
You have brought me to the edge
and left me alone
You take from the surface
but you go no further
This is all a game
We are both players
Alone in the world
Together but never really
Joined for a moment in time

“UNTITLED”
Life behind cold cruel walls passes
unnoticed
Long hours of time mixed with memories
Dreams are dreaded and thoughts become
anguished
Sunlight fades among all tranquilities
Depression creeps in silently and strong
Friends and family lose their grip and fade
Beliefs that seemed right turn dreadfully
wrong
All alone until remorse has been paid
A lonely window to the outside world
Everything that’s left of beautiful eyes
Words of meaning twisted and curled
By to many drugs and fairytale lies
Thoughts of death are spoken selfishly
By kin who love you unconditionally
