self destructive

You walk through life

with your eyes closed,

holding hands with
addiction and deceit. 

You feel numb

as your blood chills. 

It thickens
and begins

to run slower

drowning your every thought

with a way to feed your habit. 

You have created a monster

so malevolent and large,

so vastly built, so ready for life

It's eating you from the inside out. 

You can't ignore it's darkness anymore. 

You give in. 

You let go. 

You cripple your soul.

You've lost control.

No one can save you now, but yourself.  

Destruction comes in many forms,

but you sweetheart...

are the greatest of them all. 

Sometimes

Most of our life is a series of images.
They pass us by like towns on the highway.
But sometimes, a moment stuns us as it happens.
And we know that this instant is more than a quick image.
We know at this moment, will live on forever and ever, no matter what.

gravity

Put your lips close to mine.

As long as they don’t touch.

Out of focus, eye to eye.

Till the gravity’s too much.

I’ll do anything you say

If you say it with your hands,

I’d be smart to walk away,

but baby you’re like quicksand..

suitcase full of demons

He has a suitcase full of demons

and it’s more than he can bear.

You can hear the sound of the plastic
dragging across the concrete.

And that endless wave of scratching

from their claws,

as they try to hold on to the ground, 

preventing him from going forward.

And he hears that sound,

replaying over and over in his head,

reminding him,

that no matter how far you go,

you will always have

a suitcase full of demons.
