Breathe
Another sleepless night, alone but not helpless. I have my thoughts for comforting company. Let us drift in self less space. Many hours spent afloat on this mattress. It begins with a walk towards the past. What little things I seem to miss. In hopes of overlooking the scars I bare from this gravel road. Let’s travel, hand in hand, a perilous journey. Cold fingertips which seem to be sewn into mine as we take these steps. Kiss me in my dreams. Love me while I sleep. I see them standing around me in the darkness….lonesome beings without a beat we call memories. Waiting their turn to be reflected upon. Staring back at me as if I lived among them. Striking such fear into my heart…they hold no life inside. I hope to never walk alone, not into this dark and lonely night. Grip me tighter sweet mind of mine. Don’t you fail me now. Let’s not leave me behind this time. Take me to that place of happiness we once believed in. Where time strays…just momentarily from the souls we embrace. Please tell me it still exists. Pull me from this cold consciousness. My spirit I see, laying sound asleep in a coma of mental anguish. No distance is left between this journey and heartbeat. Every moment it grows so weak, my sweet soul no longer existent. Here is where I belong. Here is where I will stay..just for a quick rest…just let me…catch….my breath….
