Holding my breath tight
Struggling to keep up the fight
Losing air in this underwater prison
Down into the darkness I go
Lights fading, my mind is detached
memories come in a flood upon me
Grasping on to what little is left
My life slipping slowly away
My past forgotten, future ahead
Just a few more seconds, I'll be dead
Just wanting to right my wrongs
Wishing I could see the new dawn
Struggling to keep up the fight
Losing air in this underwater prison
Down into the darkness I go
Lights fading, my mind is detached
memories come in a flood upon me
Grasping on to what little is left
My life slipping slowly away
My past forgotten, future ahead
Just a few more seconds, I'll be dead
Just wanting to right my wrongs
Wishing I could see the new dawn
Literature
You're it
There's a reason why connect the dots is a children's game -
it prepares you for the bigger games everyone has to play
when their insides finally outgrow the outside.
I call this game 'connect the hearts'.
There are no instructions
and a million possible choices.
Chances are,
no matter what you do
a connection is made or broken
...it just isn't always the one you want.
Sometimes I know I'm not headed in the right direction,
but that doesn't make the selection any less valid;
just a bit more painful.
There is no such thing as "child's play" -
there is only practice for future failures.

you're my penny...
so sorry
'bout the stumbling
darlin'
dying to retrace
every step mistook
and your skin
with my fingertips
though I long
to damn distance
and hang my hat
up on regrets
it's not the miles
marked & measured
you find lacking

I'd like to last
a lifetime
some strange synonym
for always

I'd love to be
the last time
you felt you found
your place
but I've more than

dear
I fear I formed
those fault lines
and if I must
I'll disappear
to put that smile
back on your face
this is

how it feels

hibernation love song
wanna bury your
stillbeating
heart in the yard
kneel down
and press my face
to grass grown cool
with shades
of green
you're the wild life
like light
now strange
and scattering
the sound of trains
whispering distant
every evening
bathed in dusk
and I'm just
dust too much
touch
to the back
of your throat
sunken
sunk in skin
and tastes of
settling
sometimes I imagine
you're how I'd want
the snow to be
falling
free like birds
who change back
into bears

I really like this one.
It's about to tell the story of a life without actually telling one
..or being that long.
Oh, and in the line "My past forgotten, future ahead."
Did you mean "no future ahead"?
..because to me that would have make a lot more sense
for where this poem went and with the hole "I'll be dead" line.
