Cooling Nutrition (5/19/2008)

The walls are creeping in and there’s no one around me
The nightmares began in the moment they found me
Held me down, bound me, and broke down the mind
Not letting me go while there’s hope down inside
And I know that the light could chase them forever
But the darkness is here and we lay here together
Melded and tethered with a bond still unsevered
It seems to be random, but I think that it’s measured
Cause nothing is feathered, it’s harsh and uncaring
As it flows through the mind of the heart that it’s tearing
The pictures it’s sharing can tug on these strings
And make me afraid of the love that this brings
But, enough, I can’t breathe, I need to escape this
It’s not what I asked for and I can not take this
I’m losing my patience, I need some assistance
Right when I lose it, she hears and she listens
Just soothing the symptoms and removing the visions
The sound of her voice is a cooling nutrition
Calm for a soul that has cracked under stresses
And peace for a mind as it deals with these messes
Cause I’ve a confession, I’m weak in the darkness
In the youth of the night, I can’t seem to part this
But, please, disregard this, cause now I have help
From the girl, here with me, who can leave it all quelled

Notes: Slowly, but surely, getting it back.
