10,000 Wails Away

Uncategorized

This life can throw you, in mysterious ways,
Toss you around with the weather, where your ships lie at bay.
Rough oceans meet the shore of your subliminal mind,
Where you’ve laid your trauma to rest and left it behind.


Water belts down from above, onto the graves of your past,
And washes away the tomb that you had formerly built to last.
Exposing thoughts and projections that you kept in disdain,
And flooding them back into reality to cause you pain.


In the wake of the storm, debris scattered amongst the shore,
Collateral to the life that you had once before.
At one time it seemed easy to build a fortress of stone,
But alas, you’ve come to realise that you can’t build it alone.


You meet someone peculiar, and with hope for a chance to reform,
Only to realise that to get to them, you need to venture back through the storm.
Accompanied by violence on your journey through the squall,
The inevitable odd flashes of doubt to where we’ll end up overall.


I know it’s hard to see the good through what seems like an eternal endeavour,
All I can promise you, is that storms don’t last forever.

I’ve been kicked, beaten and burnt at the stake,

The sorry lone victim of his unfeasible hate.

Whenever the chemicals took hold, and he shifted his gaze,

His pupils grew wide with an undefeatable rage.

I used every little ounce of strength that I had left,

To defend my heart before it was theft.

But it was shattered into pieces that I couldn’t recover,

And I left them with him when I became the insignificant other.

I went away for a while to be with my self,

But my trust for people deteriorated, along with my health.

Awakening anxiety ridden by day, with a force that drew me back to bed.

And the screams of our memories circling around in my head.

I eventually moved on to a man that I felt kept me safe,

He taught me how to heal and again to be brave.

But before long my heart was brought back to me by the one,

Sewn loosely atop a silver platter that glistened in the sun.

So I strayed from the path that I walked with my head held high,

And ran back to the man who once wished I’d die.

Although he was back to his old self, and in love again I’d fall,

After a week of bliss I realised that he hadn’t changed at all.

The future we had envisioned was all traded in for a hit,

And then I began to understand that our old flame could no longer be lit.

I stumbled around, still wounded, trying to find my old ways,

Still hoping that he’d get clean and come back to me someday.

But then something unexpected happened, and caught me completely off guard,

You came out of nowhere, and in your hands held my heart.

No sign of a single stitch, and no pieces were out of place,

You planted it in my hands, and quietly studied my weary face.

Viewing my tortuous celluloid, through the windows of my eyes,

You witnessed a lot of my pain, as I held your hands in mine.

I tried my absolute hardest, to heal first and make you wait,

But turns out it’s pretty fucking hard to ignore an undeniable fate.

I leapt courageously toward you, expecting to once again fall to my knees,

But you caught me and encouraged me to finally set my mind free.

You guided me back to my light that for so many years was lost and dimmed,

And for the first time in many years I don’t wake with thoughts of him.

I’m scared to what obstacles this love will bring as we further pursue,

But I know I’ll remain safe because I’m together, falling with you.
