The Beam

Everything crumbles
Yet the support beams
Still stand to let you know
What you once had,
As if to taunt and tease you
The supportless beams are the
Only thing left in your haunting, lonely,
Blind, and mildewed world of self hatred
The raunchy smell of death is enough
To make you violently vomit
You look for a rope to end it once and for all,
But instead find a memory that was once
A happy pace in your life
Then it’s a race till you realize, eventhough
The rope would have ceased all the pain,
One day your life  will have an even flow
And for some reason you still remain
At your sanitys breaking point, a different
Beam blasts blindly into vission, a sunbeam
Then a warm, secure, gentle hand reaches down
To pull you up out of your deserted, tainted,
And stranded world to start everything
Brand new,
A new
You

Seconds

A minute passed is
Time that cant be grasped
Like a disgraceful word said is
A breath that cant be taken back
A life that has not been lived 
Will wither away
Why for did I not ask all
The questions I had to say

Searching

As I lay in this sea of
Disease filled, murky, and
Much too familiar water substance,
It seems to be so still and foul,
I can’t help but to dwell if I will
Ever rise above this some what
Self- inflicted hell, this place
Where sanity is nowhere to be found
Where are you my sturdy ground
Will I get to you before the ship
Of soul-less souls makes another round
I need you to save me before I
Drown
