The Disease, The Deceased.

 Depression

 Really is,

 A deep dark endless abyss

 Of pain

  And suffering.

Hah.
Who am I kidding?
Lost in this labyrinth 
Again.

Square one.
Undone.
Time to stop the run.

Time to lie down.
Time to shut things out.
Time to fall
And drown.

Dusty Grey Matter

Close your eyes

Listen to the whispers of the past

Reach for it

Let it take you

Consume you

Caress your pain

Let it love you

Open your arms

Keep it handy

Keep it warm

Don't let others

Stop you and deny you

Love it deeply

Don't let them make you

Seal that darkest room

At the back of your memory

Because you know

Wearing that new sleeve

And donning that new hairdo

Never really killed your grieve

Your past is what makes you

Hole Again

Pull the trigger

Graze me honey

Don't forget to brush your teeth

And don't turn off the lights

I can't see you from beneath

So High So Low

Lost

is the fleeting neon lights reflected in your eyes

as you're hunched in the back seat

cruising the night

Lost

is the bass thundering your heartbeats

taking you up into the emptiness above the clouds

away from the heat

Lost

is when you're in an unfamiliar place

longing for the home that no longer feels like home

the home that you'd never want to stay

but always think about every time you're away

Tucked

I am lost from head to toe

Every skin and sweat in the pore

I am naked down to the core

Love less lost more

Un-Being

I am the heat

Simmered in the smoke

That you sighed as it cut your lips

I am the thread on your pressed shirt

Waiting to be burned

At the stake of your fire

I am not the secret

One would ever want

To share with another

The last to love first

The first to perish last

Unintended

There's something about you,

That will always greet me out of the blue.

Is it the moles on your back?

Is it the nook of your teeth?

Or the bones beneath your cheek?

Maybe it's the crease on your collar,

Or the smiles that never get older.

Perhaps it's the way your finger,

Flick the ashes off the cigar.

There's something about you,

That made me smile,

That made me fly high,

Out of the blue.
