Keys

Losing my mind 
like it’s tethered to keys, 
Sun shining brightly, 
I stand here and freeze,
Decision impossible, 
flow like the breeze,
The only way out is 
straight up.

Biting my tongue 
like it’s raspberry pie,
Begging the clouds 
to return to the sky,
Stars disappear, 
now it’s darkness and I,
Empty is not just 
for cups.

Days stretch before me 
like desert’s hot sand,
no respite in sight, 
like an ocean, no land
grasping for comfort, 
but finding no hand, 
Alone is the worst time 
of day.

Words go unspoken 
and fall on deaf ears
Silently screaming 
and nobody hears
A single breath in, 
that’s supposed to last years
Grief passes, 
that’s what they say.
