Below Zero

I felt you if but for a moment Although brief, it was real As tangible as the ghosts we once felt Lofty ideas with a touch of despair Not without its jet black stains I bit down on the bullet until it left me sane Fracture my jaw, I'd rather not speak About all the …

Retrograde

Anticipation leading towards the edge of a cliff Down to the deeper valleys of what we don't know Careening off the mouth of the beast Lost in all senses, stuck in disbelief Where was the sun when every cloud came down The sky is falling, the sky is burning And we're all just fading now …

Concrete and Mud

I feel as though I have nothing to write about. Like I've spoken every little thought into the air. Written every collapse over and over again. Recycling memories to show some greater purpose. Akin to feeling a hell of a lot more worthless. I've heard some say that life finds a way. We can always …

The love the sun holds for the moon is my only weakness. Beams of light shape your face, the most beautiful thing. Time won't ever stop and I've felt its …

Chest Compressions

We're no longer quite like ourselves. I've watched from the depths of my mind, the slow passing of time. We learn to live in spite of ourselves. I no longer see my own reflection, we crawl in separate directions. I've seen this fire dim and catch light. Scattering my thoughts through the smoke. Wish I …
