Thoughts creeping into my mind
Ever so cognizant of the time
Ticking seconds echo my despair
Choking thickness of this foul emotion-stoked air
Corner of my mind screams for reprieve
My soul demands we no longer deceive
In the end I want to breathe
Free of the burdens of strife
This chaotic endeavor you call life
Stepping into the tub of warm caress
Bubbles tickling these once perked breasts
I dream for a moment I may not follow through
Remembrance of a time with you
Tendrils of dark places pills can’t help me to escape
Sweep away the moment of pause in which I partake
Refections of the blade -A poem once made
Echo deeply within my mind of one that can’t be saved
I take this blade of poems, deep
Turning bubbles red as finally you hear me…Speak

    Gasping for breath amidst the tidal wave of human frailty. Desiring time to fix what we've let time wear down. Strange how sweet this notion is, thanks. Also, apologies if I said brother prior to this & it not be true, ma'am? Either way, gj.
