June 20th

It was summer solstice
and a full moon
The longest day, the brightest night,
The darkest blood was leaving you

And you were leaving me.
I felt nothing,
I felt everything.
The air leaving my lungs made no sound,
but inside my mind I was screaming

Don't leave me

July 2016

Are we all

Slaves to the pain

Helpless against its current 

Washed up on the shore

Stripped, again, of everything. 

Are we destined to be lost, 

Specks of light in a night sky 

Drifting further and further into 

The void 

God, I have felt you, 

On nights when the stars are so close they almost kiss me. 

God I have seen you, 

In the richness of the earth and the sweeping branches of the trees 

I think that I've tasted you, 

In the salt on my lips 

And the sand in my teeth 

Washed up to shore 

Tell me I'm not alone
