Rubble

I feel myself crumbling

Why - I don't know

It's just something that happens

Like how waters flow

Like the dimming of stars

Blackened by clouds

Rain pattering softly

Eternity enshrouds 

And when ends the rain -

Knowing it must

My soul shall replenish 

Yesterday shall rust

Hush now - for now

Echoes of fear

Attack not my thoughts

Reign terror not here

This too shall pass

I know that it will

Nothing lasts forever

Though there's rain on my sill

Wash it away

Or pretend it's not there

Maybe it won't matter

Or maybe I won't care

Rest easy - try

Echoes don't sleep

Thoughts needn't cycle but -

I always burrow in deep

My mind goes in circles

Each time that it rains

Still, I come back to the water

To fill up my veins 

How it surges in me

Acidic and vile

Now watch it spread out

Yet stay here awhile

Onward I'll look

Undiscovered I peer 

Caught up in the feeling

Of uncertainty and fear

Uncertain, yet sure

Life could never be so easy

Didn't I learn my lesson?

Empty out - let it fill me

Vast fractures covering

Echoing - I still don't know

Rain pours, demolishing 

Dust settles and starts to show -

Out of the rubble, better things will grow

Get Out Of My Head

Grind it into dust

End the torment, please

Torch it all to nothing

Observe the ashes in the breeze 

Undo all that was done

Take back every word

Obliterate every glace

Forget all we heard

Memories must fade

Yet they seem to refuse

Hearts remaining full of them

Echoes of my muse

And it'll only end in tears

Dear, I'm tired of trying to heal this bruise

Orion

Isn't it over yet?

Haven't we tried hard enough?

Act it all out again

Veer away and call my bluff 

Entreat the sky one last time -

Near enough to taste it

Orion dances on my head

Twirling in ways I'll never forget

Hold on tightly so you don't slip

Ice racing beneath our feet

New bruises peppering my skin

Gracing every sheet

Laugh it off - they'll never know

Enjoy each moment while it's here

Floating away with every breath

Twirling with you so near

I will never call your bluff -

Not that it matters anymore

Softly absorbing every lie

Ice seeping into my core

Don't ruin it yet

Entreat the sky - hold on tight

Orion's spinning wildly now

Falling through the variety of his plight

Maybe I'll sort out the story in the end

You'll understand every angle

Caught up in all the details

Harsh as opinions mangle 

Entreating the sky one last time -

Softly, quietly, as if it's a crime -

To attempt to hold onto something so sublime
