"All In A breath"



Suddenly...
That moment...
The realization hits
A single tear falls
Betraying my will to hold it in
Emotions do their best to flood my senses
The sharp edge of a gasp
Like shattered glass
Steals my breath
A steady silence comes calling
A still embrace
Light fades...
Lost within the darkness that has moved over me
It wears like a heavy blanket
The truth chases away any lingering happiness
No sense in asking questions
When all that follows are lies
This, simply put...
Is an ugly part of life
Breaking something that once was solid
Pulling the thread that has come loose
Watching a beautiful tapestry woven shred
Eaten away by the acid of words not spoken
All vanishes before the waking eye
As communication breaks
So do the heart strings supporting itself
Piece by piece chaos digs its claws in
Holding hostage the life I had come to know
With such heartache
It seems like life now solely exists upon the head of a pin
I have to remind myself to breath easy
To pull in the calming air
So I don't lose myself with in my thoughts
And be consumed by the deeper parts of such twisted darkness
I force myself to pause
Hold tight to my being
And exhale slowly...
