I feel that I'm asleep,
Nothing left to keep.
Go away!
Return..
Such unconcern!
But,it leaves no scars,
Stopped by no bars.
Except,in my head,
Areas all marked red.

Pump the music out loud!
Still,in a bustling crowd..
Escape all the stares.
Stitch up the tears.

A blink of an eye--
Sigh,Goodbye!
Fluttering lashes,
Cold-water splashes,
Damn,my head aches!
Can't stay here,awake..
Give me a break!

If i cut my veins,
And watch the blood seep..
How much will you'll weep??
It's just eternal sleep.

Questions..

(Questions of a victim of domestic abuse to a survivor...)

All's well that ends well,

Did you cry when you fell?

Was it as scary as this?

Did ev'rything feel amiss,

When you were so low,

After blow upon blow?

Did they silence your voice?

Was there even a choice?

How did you rise,

Broke free of those ties?

Will I ever be,

Like you,free???

Musings..(with Cheri on the bench)

What's done is done.
We had our fun.
Hearts were broken,
Harsh words were spoken.

Hitting out at all who matter..
Tearful voices,merry chatter,
Sun up,sun down,
We laugh,we frown...
Wind stays still,
No heat,no chill.
A drop of blood ,
Forecasts the flood.
Dancing trees,
Prancing leaves,
Swish,crush,crackle..
Raising every hackle.
The wheels keep turning,
Souls keep burning..
Another comment,
Beckoning descent!

To Walk Alone

Lonely in the bustling crowd,
Silent warnings,screaming loud!
Years before he had vowed:
To Walk Alone.

Unending days,eternal nights,
Constant,relentless:the fight!
Who,truly,can have the right,
To Walk Alone?

Step by step,he paved the way.
Grim by face,never to sway.
"All I want is," he'd say..
"To Walk Alone.''

Yet another age pass'd by,
Round the bend,hear him cry-
''Wasted,helpless,sad am I,
That shall be how I die
But till death I will try:
To Walk Alone.
