Eyes like sugar soft and sweet. Butterflies returning from their long retreat. The beginning of this feeling, this rush of wonder sewn up inside like a treat. Its just another I know. But this time ive grown. This time ill know. Running and staying. A teeter-totter balance. But if you dont return its just one more defeat.
This slip of injustice mixes with the beauty and the brow-beat and broken. The noises of the taken purify those left behind. Eloquent words written with a touch of poison thicken the sin and the words as they fall off the page and become left behind. Feelings and emotions swirl. Stuck in a room with no way out but a broken glass window and a door past the ghosts. Those ghosts of the past forever stinging no way out but up and over. Do you have the energy to make it the hope to strengthen. Or will it slide on by.
Lately, ive felt empty, alone. Like that moment at the end of a movie where everything goes silent, right before you start to breathe. This shimmering facade of waking up and feeling as if something special has been whisked away right beneath your feet. But, while something else has come to take its place, and you sat there watching it unfold the entire time, you still feel missing. Like the air has been knocked out of you, like a shell has taken your place. I know that it can't last forever, and this sliver of hope keeps me dangling on for dear life, but i know if i make the wrong move i may fall into this endless abyss of nothing...
The bitter-sweet taste slides past my lips as i take my first tingling bite. Soft and moist. There's this feeling in the air that hovers slightly while the crumbs fall silently away like getting a hug from the one person in this world who can drive those everlasting fears away. Those demons who threaten to cave in on us, who force us to run and hide like small children. Only sometimes, "Mom" isn't there to protect us, but its all right, because you know, you're not alone.
