Hell.

Down here,
I begin to wash these days off
I hear your voice on the radio
and wonder if I could ever flip the
record over
This is the darkest hour,
where the roses begin to die at my feet
Where everything around me becomes filled and
empty at the same time

I have taken down all the mirrors in
each of these rooms
I cannot put a face on, or
bear the thought of attempting it
Every ocean swallows me,
all at once
and is still no match for the depth of pain I feel

If only I could crack my soul,
and let a little air out
I would deflate like a red balloon
Or if not,
If you let me go
I will float madly into the blue sky and
never
ever
come
back
down

Pain well painted

The next time I am depressed, well that depressed, I will remember this poem and feel worse...and stay away from red balloons about to be popped or let go. The ascendency of the last lines did what the words described like an entire otomatopean verse. Sometimes it's best to let go and give the pain to time ~~~ allets

You have an ability like no

You have an ability like no other to place yourself in the weathered shoes of others.

Kudos to you once again.
