Sunshine and the tide

by macey   Dec 20, 2006


The sun beats down its sharp sensation of heat...... My eyes watering from the persistent glare..
The skin on my arm glows red from repeated abuse, until the layers resistance fails and flakes of me fall off to signal its defeat....waving the white flag....I surrender..
It may as well be seven below as I wont let myself enjoy the warming comfort.....
Where do we go when hot and cold collide to leaves us numb?

I wish you would remove your hands from my mind and let me be whole again...
If you did, would I even know... or would I be so absorbed in my self made hate that being released from my burden would go unnoticed by my selfish soul?

Punished internally for my sins of the mind
With hands in dark hair I wallow in self pity...
The tide up to my quivering bottom lip.....as I dog paddle in life...
I struggle as my feet slip on the moss covered stones underneath.
Grasping at shadows in a lack luster attempt to stay above the water...wanting to let go and slip away with the rip...dragged under....gone..

The rescue team cant find me.....hovering above as I lay just under the surface....unable to break through for their help...
Bubbles of life escape as I fall away...
I let go of hope and the ropes associated with the word...
I slip away,falling down sharply.....
The call of the sun is no more as I'm over whelmed by a darkness of which shadows would fear to tread..
In that moment I am Gone..
