Waterfalls

Who is this?
gasping your name
What is this?
quivering on the floor
Dry! Soaking towel!
I need to stay hydrated!
Cease! Searing Eyes!
Close the gates without leaks!
Once so strong...
where did these pieces come from?
who is this shadow, breaking beneath me?

Relapsing into hibernation
is the only cure to
ominous confrontation
because burning eyes
can only sear for so long
before becoming too tired
to fuel the fire, and cease to open.

and ruptured organs
are only a deathly pinprick
compared to continues beatings from a bludgeon
by a deceiving superficial friendship
Strange, how the stabbing pains
in my stomach are wielded by brutal emotion.

And now all I can do is thank the stars you love me
because I am too tired to call your name
but I keep pumping my lungs rhythmically
in hopes of hearing your voice again.
Because I am mortally afraid of dying
as long as your here to love me.

But heaving pain
eventually becomes light as straw
and I struggle...
to keep the oxygen coming,
don't let it...
become shallow and still.

Fly my tears on clouds
and through the broken window
I'll come in with the rain...

"Oh you gorgeous train wreck" She said
"don't eat poison for breakfast"
"You'll never soar with eagles" He said
"if you keep running with turkeys"
Oh, these people
I dangle from my neck
Never forget...

Because they are the ones who hold me
when I'm holding waterfalls behind my eyes.
