Crashing



Limitless steps into the emptiness

I find it hard

I find it endless



Why bother to extend towards nothingness

You offer naught

You offer pain



If everywhere I turn becomes a brick wall

I smash my skull and bruise my soul



The attention I seek eludes my sight

Do I ask too much

Do I try too hard



You know the feeling

You know the symptom



And you still blindly inflict it upon me

You…

Chalk Ghosts

Black board

Blank slate

Begin again I say

Start from nothing

build something

begin again I say

Are you listening

Do you hear me

Repeating words and phrases

Lost in thought

chalk mark ghosts

hard to erase the past

Needs and wants

desires and attempts

Sadden the soul of the bearer

Begin again I say

Take that risk

Make that move

Get knocked down

Begin…

Just Knowing

You took the time
You took the moment
It crossed your mind
I made an impact

A second
A blink
A flash of recognition

Just knowing it happened
Just knowing I exist in your thought process
Even if as a faint smudge of remembrance

Has made me smile.
