Listen…
Can you hear The chilling silence Of the slow Moving pendulum? Swing… Into the horrific scale of loss Swing… Into the tsunami of disbelief Swing… Towards the rising, crippling panic The irresistible invitation To stretch our limits Far beyond breaking point Because the world has Already gone there Swing… Into the crashing collapse Of knowing that I can’t go there That we can’t go there Swing… Into the knowledge That we might not make it But can’t not make it So what do we do? And who shall we be? Swing… Until all you can do Is swing Endlessly swing Let your body be rocked Back and forth Between Hope and despair Feeling and numbness Holding on and letting it all go Swing….

Alone,
Oh… Is this how death feels? Swimming In an eternal sea Of Nothing Heart ripped from chest Nothing to feel Eyes wide shut Nothing to see Reach into the void Of Blackness But there’s no one To reach back Only the empty echo Of something Less hopeful Than despair Falling Forever falling No one to catch you No one who even Knew you fell What’s the genesis Of unlovability? And is there a bridge From that to this? Give me hands To strike the match That burns that bridge Give me rage to Light a fire In my belly So wild and free It takes me Backwards And Forwards And Sideways To somewhere That’s not this Takes me into A Feeling of Something Takes me Away From this Dark & Hollow Alone How do you comprehend
The wounds of lovelessness? A pain that leaves no trace Only shadows that torment To birth belonging One must first Sit with its lack Let the sorrow seep Deep into your heart Let the unspoken years Of lost childhood Talk to you Let them make you cry Reach for a person Who isn’t there And never was Reach right into the void Let the tragedy inside It’s been at the door For oh so long Let it All in Take your time And then When you’re done Look the child That you were In the eyes Peer into your soul And remind yourself That you survived. |
