Save Me



They smear stains on my truest form
Scotched fingerprints on every crevice of my brittle soul
They fall like rain over any surface that defines the essence of my being
Weak knees quake
I don't ever breathe
I break

Save me

Space encloses me in an asylum that houses stray thoughts
They haphazardly attach to the cracks in my voice
Sinking feeling
I am barely living

Save me

Night terrors await from behind my door
They take me everyday and I can't sleep anymore
They nurse me against ghosts from the past
They whisper "It will always be just you and us"

Save me

They drive me to drink
On the verge of collapse I linger on the brink
The weight of the world crushes my shoulders
They throw bricks that hit me like boulders
The ground seems to open up so I barrow below
Time catches up and my heart beats slow

Save me

They drag at the seams of my clothing
They stire the dust waking sleeping dogs that lie
I suffocate cries under my pillow
The fear never dies
I am fading into darkness
I fade back into dangerous ways
I am crippled by any looming threat of silence

Save me

A never late reminder
Eyes hypnotised I want to step into a flame
Drawn to the burn
Captivated by the fire
That beautiful ache
My mind is a seasoned lair

Save me

I stagger and they strut
The blind leading the blind
Even the delusion leaves me behind
I look up for a miracle
I look down for the answer
And I find neither

Save me

A heathen who has not lost faith
I remain behind but I know I was never meant to stay
I will find peace only on that final cold bed in which my body will lay
Say something
Anything
The demons are no longer at bay

Save me
Save me

The cusp of this depression vouches to take me away

AURORA, DEATH AND BEAUTY

The gentle and rhythmic hum of the train soothed Aurora into a dull lull. As she peered through the carriage window, with one eye open- a picturesque field of grass spanning as far as the eye can see steadily came into view. What a beautiful and vast kind of nothingness she thought to herself. While others would have seen this and raveled in the beauty of nature and life. She instead saw the endlessness that is an affliction on all living things. We live, we die so others can live and die. The pointlessness of it all. Caught off-guard by the often absentminded straying of her thoughts, she shook her head violently to her left as if to wake herself from that dark place she knew all too well. Looking down at hands that were cradling shaky knees, she pulled up the right sleeve of a worn-out winter sweater. The grey stitches were starting to venture out and free loose thread that swayed along to the beat of the train. Aurora took one long breath in, closed her eyes altogether and mastere...

Prescriptions

Outbreaks of ominous sirens  Concentrated in corrugated iron ridges  Erectly cradled in water rusted discoveries  Publicly seeded in the devastation of black soil  Spitting busted grapes  A tornado of the rotten blowing torrent winds at cotton fibres  There's fear amongst the stiffly practiced  There's fear in the corroded defence of fan folded ton gues of serpents freely looting streams of lost words adrift in a heaven devout of faith My afterbirth is lost in the placenta of thought These umbilical cords wrapped around my head Crowned my temple in life symbolic Fingering circles in amniotic fluid Painting reproductions courtesy of stark silences Strangers to closed stores Stock taking emotion but the inspiration is free And the failure?? Absolutely gorgeous Ridding lite flares They rival us to fireworks Mingled reassurances Bless them for being wise enough to look away Like down town streets flowering rooms with crack pipes Gasp at the audacity You'...
