wisdom is pouring out of my veins and into your cups.

drink up me harties, yo ho, yo ho!
breathing in like the air is thickening
smokey eyes, broken eyes, blood shot eyes.
take one glance and know you belong
belong with me -- to me
stumble into the room and onto the couch
nobody sees you enter and the void only grows greater
the distance from mind to eyes to mouth stretches on
trying to decode what one is telling the other you lose control
seeping from your lips
words claw their way out, bursting to the front of the line
but the dam can only take one more drop
cascading showers of emotions sweep us off our feet
swept away, the only way -- cling on
but open your eyes, see who else is drowning.
we can see the path marked by the parting waters
your hand's intentions reflect none of your own
stopped before the breaking point a solid force gives you no where left to swim
words etched in stone
using your fingers as the knives
you find that once sharpened can not be blunt
you've made damage that you can not repair
every helping gesture slashing a new wound
but it's a part of you now and you can't hide it
keep your hands to yourself and maybe your bones can be replaced
but nobody wants to help the villain
show me you aren't the villain, show me you aren't helpless.
let me take what you broke and turn it into wisdom.
you deserve what you take.


none of this actually makes any sense, i'm not proud of my diction, none of it connects, it is jumbled and it is broken. i let go and took it step by step. i didn't better myself, i unraveled myself. but so many of my friends knit now i figure i'll be human again in no time.
