I break away when you’re gone
Didn’t know I would need anyone this much
Eternity, well that’s not long enough
Cause baby, you’re the one
You’re the one I want to wake up next to everyday
You’re the one I want to kiss
in the pouring rain
You’re the one who makes my heart race
You’re the only one for me
There’s a humming in my brain
A pounding in my chest
A ringing in my ear
From the voice that knows me best
And your eyes
Pull me into my demise.
Like glowing embers they burn
Around the center of gravity
Your black hole it pulls
Me into insanity
Here I go
Down the rabbit hole
There’s a scream inside my soul
A tie on my tongue
Heat rises in my bones
An alarm goes off in my lungs
And your eyes
Pull me into my demise
Like glowing embers they burn
Around the center of gravity
Your black hole it pulls
Me into insanity
Here I go
Down the rabbit hole
Can I be saved?
Can I escape?
From which vile should I drink?
Fill the glass to the brink
Will I ever wake from this dream?
Your illusions are so cunning
And your eyes
Pull me into my demise
Like glowing embers they burn
Around the center of gravity
Your black hole it pulls
Me into insanity
Here I go
Down the rabbit hole
The way you look at me
With those big brown eyes
Makes my stomach dance
Makes my head light.
When your skin brushes against mine
I know I’m in too deep
Because my lungs get tied
My tongue grows weak.
And when you pull me in close
I know there’s no escape
Because when we’re mouth to mouth
You steal my breath away
Hearing the words
Of the universe
Piercing through your lungs
Enough, time to hold strong.
Desire
Urge
Confusion
Words
Shattered
Silence
Falls…
Pressure
Lungs
Breath
Tongues
Lips
Fingertip
Climax…
Delusions
Swirl
Lies

He could hear the ticking echo through his ears. When the minute hand moved he felt the stinging in his heart which grew stronger and stronger. He knew he was running out of time.
His breath felt like thunder, shaking in his bones. Each step he ran was a race against the hour hand.
Tick.
The pain in his chest brought red dots to his eyes. Stumbling on the pavement he kept on because he knew he had no time.
Collapsing inside their cage, his lungs began to cave. Every breath was forced and shallow. The doubt began to fill in the hollow thoughts. Would he make it?
Tock.
He lost his breath. The pain spread from his chest like a virus. The world before him began to blur. Like a blind man he kept forwards. His feet like cement, the effort to keep moving torturous. His whole body ached, but he could not stop now.
Tick.
A cry escaped his lips. Everything was cloaked in darkness. He was so close. Nearly there. But time keeps ticking and his end was near.
Just move forward. Don’t give in.
Tock.
His heart began to beat in time with the second hand. Each heartbeat roared in his head. His rib cage tightened, restricting his lungs, and crushing his heart. No longer could he continue on as his legs buckled underneath his weight.
Her arms reached for him, but she was too late. By the time she revealed the watch attached to his chest, the hour and minute hand ticked together as he let out his last breath.
With a sob she took the device in her hand and removed the brass watch from his flesh. The golden numbers spread around the face was covered with a brass rib-cage.
Just a little something I cooked up after this week’s picture it & write photo. Check it out!
All words have already been said
What more can I say to describe the way you get into my head?
You bring me to heaven
The moon
Then back again
To finish me off with the heat of your breath
On my tongue
Into my lungs
Keeping your eyes on mine
Your gaze is my kryptonite.
You’re hotter than the sun
My skin burns under your touch
But your eyes
Like cool rays of ice
You keep me hot and cold
Begging
Begging
Begging for more
There’s so many
Thoughts and feelings
I’m experiencing
Right now
And I’m trying my damnest
To get them all out
On to paper
And into words
Truth be told
I have no idea what’s going on
In my head
In my heart
I want to blame it on others
But for what?
Why am I so stressed
And upset?
Does it have anything to do with you
Or am I just imagining it?
That must be the answer
That it’s all in my mind
Because when I talk to you
All is fine.
Then what is this panic in my lungs
The frustration
I am numb
with?
Is it all fabricated?
Why am I so dramatic,
What is wrong with me,
What is the source of these feeling
That are pilling into me?
Just write them down
Write them down
Let them all out
Once I am done I’ll have nothing to worry about.
But what if they don’t go away?
What if they lay inside
And start to decay
Rotting my insides
Day after day
How the hell
Am I supposed to live this way?
It’s Okay
It’s Okay
It’s all in your mind.
It’s Okay
It’s Okay
You just need a long night
rest
A good, rested sleep
That’ll melt away the stress
The grime,
The death,
Be gone
Be gone
And never come back.
My heart is strumming in your hand
You play it like a violin
You’ve got my soul in your grips
Going to keep me hanging on your starship
Reach into the galaxy
Pull out a star for me
Burning in my chest
Where my love once rest.
You’ve got me under your spell
You play the craft so well
Hey there music man
Can you lead me out of this wonderland?
Down the rabbit hole
Bring me some tea
Go in for the gold
You’ve kept me empty
You play your harmony
Using my melody
As you pluck at the strings
My lungs are humming
I feel the music lulling me to sleep.
Reach into the sea
Play that harp for me
Once upon a time
Do I get a happy ending?
My life strums in your hand
You play my heart like a violin
I’m just a puppet to you now
Dancing on stage for your audience.
These are actually song lyrics believe it or not inspired by the music on Ermilia’s Listen & Write <——check it out!! Oddly after inspiring this writing, the lyrics don’t quite fit with the music :[ Oh well!
You’re right
I’m cold
I have a heart made of stone
So why is it that you love me?
So why is it that you stay?
Is it because you think you can melt the ice away?
Well you can’t
I’ve built up a wall
So tall
That you can’t even see
The other side where it’s me:
The Ice Queen.
Where I don’t feel pain
Where my heart is heavy on my tongue
My mouth- sewn shut
My lungs are filled with frost
But I don’t feel a thing
Because my whole body is numbing
If you think you can warm me
You’re wrong
Even if you climb over the wall
I’m gone
Sure I might be there physically
But me, the real me, was never inside my body
I am winter
I am cold
I am ice
I am frozen
Summer won’t thaw me
Spring won’t warm me
Fire won’t melt me
Heat won’t heal me,
And you?
You can’t save me.
