Four walls surrounding me
An invisible force field
Won’t allow me to leave
Shadows can’t grasp it all
I’m responsible to me
My own parameters
Isolation my choice
No drama from others
Not being able to see my
Silent places outdoors
Makes me grieve until
Until the sun rises

One more day of sadness
Taking away my control
Over thoughts causing madness
Another day swallowed whole
Leaving a trail of hurt
Of loved ones around me
Left twisting in my dirt
Because med’s aren’t guaranteed
Bye and bi a new day starts
Trying to make amends
Hoping I didn’t break your hearts
Or I might descend again

I shake and shiver before your presence
You hold my love in your hands today
I didn’t mean anything talking to him
A friend from the past catching up our loves
Now waiting for your distrust to go away
He can’t enter my life, he has his own
We remembered our friendship we once held
Friendship has past and it’s just a memory
You and I have developed a stronger bond
Reasoning without the whole picture blows up
You’re the only one lover and friend
You hold our love in your hands today

Caught in a waterspout; plucked from our boat
Going up in a spiral, afraid with little hope
Dropped us in the clouds, falling back to the water
Won’t consider jumping, it looks like an adventure
Stepping up to the highest cloud above
We were surprised to see a pair of doves
Only a step away to reach the tallest mountains
We made cloud sculptures then sold at a bargain

Rhythm of the rails relaxing and rolling
Like the waves rocking the boat’s hull
Taking advantage of life it’s soothing
Passengers around me complain it’s dull
The conductor yells, “Syracuse next stop ”
Automatic memory grabbing luggage
Adrift again, floating at the station’s drop
From two rails to one to the end of my voyage
