Via E. Jenner

I stood at the door

of a place that was home,

touched the cool metal

and like memory foam

it bent to my fingers

their imprint was made

and even with all of the years

gone to waste:

It's story is capsuled,

enclosed in my skin,

It's etched in the rocks,

it's carried within

and knowing our future-

the end that awaits-

it makes it that easier

to let go of it's gates.

Material things,

both mortal and not,

we must be contented

with the time we have got.

A farewell to my childhood,

the shelter I had,

the place that once was

the roof over my head.

Foster the insanity

Oh you‘ve gotten comfy under my skin

And I don‘t ever remember letting you in

You hide in the corners of my mind

Niggling away until you rob me blind

Sweet syrup, stick to me

Make me what you think I should be

I’m so much better with you here

I can almost disappear

I can hear your whispered words

vicious taunts are meant to spur

I know you don’t mean to hurt

All the world becomes a blur

Sweet syrup, Valentine

Seep into my broken mind

I’m so much better with your lies

I taste hell in paradise

Can’t remember being myself

We don’t need anyone’s help

You’ve taken to that leather belt

Your words they sting me, leaving welts

Sweet syrup, sanity

Break my heart and make me bleed

I’m so much better with this need

I can almost disappear.
