up late

i have been keeping things nice and tidy in here for quite some time
and then something like this comes my way
and i can't keep it together any more
and i'm falling apart at the speed of light
yes you fall apart in front of me
achilles isn't the only one

everything comes falling down around
burn it
burn it
burn it to the ground
let there be nothing left
let me melt with the cement that layed with me
for these centuries
making my bed with the dead
ones
i had grown happy with the dust
and the corners
and the rotting pages
melding my bones into the moldings

and at the speed of breath
you stood there

and all i could do was make calculations
of how much space I could put between us
before i completely lost it
and could no longer keep it together

you have no clue how hard it was to look away
to hold ground and
to let fate stop it's bottled letter and sail on

my god, all this for you. what am i thinking? what am i becoming? have i been relegated to some desperate late-night jostling with keyboards in hopes of pinning you down in between spaces and words?


what are you doing woman?

Let It Go.
