Feeling like I wanna cry

I never even had a chance.
Getting older, everyone is gone.

Internal conflict while I lie in bed

While I have grown
Some memories grow hazy
But I have always embraced my crazy
Time I was to bold
I know this now that I am old

Delivered with a large dose of dashing hope,

By a Thread

...Holding on to a sliver of hope
That the day will bring good fortune
Though I fear I'm at the end of my rope
And the fall below is grand.

hopeless in love and life,
at the end of my rope--

to cease all pain in
sweet oblivion. to be
no more, to be gone....

And when I flung my

But You Promised

...I’m trapped in this nightmare,
A never ending dream of violence. 
Is it because you don’t care,
That I constantly receive silence?

As the Rumbletide ripples in a cup of Joe*
The lap desk that holds it is vibrating, too…
The window is shattered, my boots bumbletied
The knife pricks my n...
