falling

By liquid_emotion

I can't take the dreams
break me up
sweat
drips down splashing into
dialated pools of pupil
okay
okay
it's never okay
I'm not okay
electricity
pulls my hair up
runs through my veins
pounding pounding pounding
my heart
inside my stomache, my throat
can't eat can't sleep
it's healthy it's okay
it's never okay
talk
pouring out like
wine
sets the world spinning
into my grasp
caught
like a yawn forgotten
while I sleep
while I can't breathe
gulping technicolored air
down
down
falling out of love
with a passing idea

    Yea, fits the day. Fits the mood, it fits. I like poets like you. Its like some people struggle to keep things alive. I didnt read that in the poem, its just a feel. Tiger

    there was a guitar picking out a funky arpeggio while i was reading this... turns out it was the white stripes... but it all fits. pounding, breaking, arcane insane... how do we do it?
