I am lying here beaten black and blue
Underneath the bridge you cross by
everyday
A strong string of tie loose
Spiralled across my scattered pieces
held together by this rope
Still Separated
parts of me frayed floating in the air
Pin and prick of my heart
Heavy dunes
Ink bleeds as I sing
Lying here,
Beneath everything I once believed in
I want to be heard
To be seen
I want you to be here with me,
Feel my grief.
I have been here for long
And you're sick of my sadness
My Disease,
You wish me dead
I bet not more than me.
But I can hardly move
I know I couldn't or I didn't'? tried?
Have l lost my faith
Drunk on my own pain
Combust my bones
Doused my fire
But I didn't?
I didn't, didn't, want to.
Lie Here, beneath my tomb
While I am still aware
Green grass spread wide,
Dew settling on my lashes
As I open my eyes
Raising my head from the mud
Sitting still, in the cemetery,
Half of me still buried,
By back against the tombstone
My fingers on the engravings
And I am trying to remember who I was Before,
You left me in the grave
While I was still breathing,
And I am still grieving
Phantoms of my loved ones lost that I talk
to, the ones you don't see
I grew up aloof but never felt so lonely
When I look back it's hazy
When I look ahead it's claustrophobic
Yet I can see more
Than before
But I am here
As I open my eyes I am here
Still here, But still, So still
Lying beneath the bridge
All tied up yet longing adrift
And I don't know how to put myself
Back together
It's pretty rough and wrote this before sleeping in quite haste without meaning it to be anything much but I want to edit it explore what could be be done is there scope for this Some context regarding what I wanted to express :-
( It's about depression sort of "waking at last" came as a title it's about getting out of depression just enough to realise you were depressed for really long but still feeling stuck not fully out there, not really being able to move and not knowing how to carry on to life again)
Would appreciate feedback
