when trauma failures to register

Purple pills and lines, lines lines,
Do it for the rush. Do it for the high
Tell me why my feet take me no where
Though I’ve been walking for miles
Life just gets harder and i just get higher
The tax in flights i write off and spend the rest of the checks
Filling in the empty spaces
Get me by today
Tomorrow and, another day
Purple pills and fuzzy trees
Make the best of things
I promise, remember you forever
In loving memory
The best of intentions
Still the water turns red
The injuries don’t fade
Like you thought they would
You start to realize, life is unfair
And healing, isn’t granted to all of us
We fade into the darkness
And find another way to be us
High on dust, we made a way
To be the best us
Making the best of things
When things go wrong
A part of me died
titanium eyes
a part of me never coming back to life.
[...And now my eyes are, titanium. I’m frozen, like a statue.]
I scold myself for dwelling on you, but, you’re the reason
The garden’s vines have grown over me,
And i remain lost, in this forgotten territory
Behind iron gates, the rust, and squeak open when you swing,
Hell, is not burning, or freezing,
It is, nothing.
Pure nothing.
There is nothing, I’m more terrified of, than the idea of
Feeling this way, for an eternity.
I’ve had plenty of, opportunity. To move, on, with my life and, try my hand, and happy.
But i just don’t want it anymore, because i can’t feel it.
I feel like, I’ve been sitting in a lobby, for, ten, years.
And at this point, what’s, another minute.
In the great big empty silence, that goes on, and on, and on.
And she says she wants to marry me,
Meanwhile, i can’t stop counting the tiles on the ceiling.
She tells me she loves me and… i just stare at the floor…. and say nothing.
I feel like a film, that’s had the audio corrupted, and this sweeping silence
Remains through out. As it plays, all the way through
On the big screen. For no one, to hear.
And you wonder, what’s she saying?
But all you can see, are her eyes squinting behind glasses, staring at the ocean.
What is she doing? It all feels like nothing when the actions appear aimless.
Without the words, the meaning is lost.
I’m like a ghost, floating in my own clothes,
Trying to remember who i used to be.
And i don’t know, who’s, life this is.
But it isn’t, mine.
I tie her shoes, i wear her hair, tied back. And i look at her hands,
I sleep in her bed at night. And i wonder, who is, she.
How could i ever go, on, like this. After so much has happened?
The more I’m awake, the more reasons i find, to end it.
And just as, i think I’ve found, peace. The, tide starts rushing in again,
The sun sets and, the coast goes cold. And my hands go numb
From freezing
And i can feel the icy air in my lungs
And i feel like an astronaut, floating into outer space, from somewhere far away.
I can only hope to wake up, in the morning, somewhere sunny
And less dangerous
Contentment is out of the question when, you exist on a never ending string, which keeps unraveling.
The little island oasis you find in your mind, is quickly surrounded and engulfed, by the elements.
It outgrows you, its faster than you, it chases you, and swallows you whole.
And this is the void, we live in. The big, great, deep void. So heavy,
And so, powerful.
There is nothing stronger, than it
It is just, a game to play that you’ll never win
Up against
You start to feel like, it’s your only friend
Though you hate it too
It’s the only thing around anymore
When it’s just you
