The Drip Is Stale
The drip is stale
As yesterday was its cause
The memory of the morning after
Forces me to pause
Now is the reason, more than ever
To never go back looking at yesterday’s forever
The pain I have felt, stems from not one's simple touch
As all that is in me is something I have carried
Something I own, something I admit, something I clutch
My words are invisible, just as thought lies
My memory is so visible, it makes my heart die
I hurt when I think of the person
The one who is to blame
For all of my strife
All of my suffering
For all of my internal
Resting
Pain
In me I shall find him and guide him to a better state
In me I shall find him, after all, he hurts just to wait
He is I
And I am him
Standing where the walls are thin
Standing where sky caves in
Praying to overcome this self inflicted sin
I challenge this person
Let the killer come out
So I can smother him
Subdue him
And never let him force doubt
In the mind of myself
Where my torture takes place
In the mind of myself
Where an illness takes shape
Lies another me that I try so hard to control
Lies another me who hurts my tortured, weathered soul
I will ally with this demon that rests within my mind
I will convince this spirit to come out
Praying peace, he shall find
In a shared state where two minds now collide
The low and the high finally meet with every waking stride
Get a grip I tell him, and he asks
Where and how?
I hold out my hand to him, as I, am him, now
The pain disappears as the hurt meets the strong
My life becomes one, and I realize it was only one
In my life
All along
