chalkboard scribbles

By to love a psycho

akward instances are profound
as the silent steps fade
a thought is born
chalkboard scribbles
meaning hope
being erased by invisible hands
as frantically you keep on writing
too slow to save it
it dies
and all hope is lost
as you slide to the floor
dazed
not knowing what will happen next
not wanting to initiate a cause
it's over

    so many emotions, thoughts that follow each other never fully showing themselves or demonstrating complete cohesion, but always fully comprehended by the one experiencing them. I have a lot of these moments, and you've gone and captured a chapter's worth of diary material in a few lines. Wonderful! ~downstream~

    AS I pressed on reading every word, soaking every moment in.. It felt like giving up "all hope is lost as you slide to the floor dazed"
