Part 130

God, it takes so long

to get to where

you want to be,

doesn't it?

All for it to crumble

in a second.

All it takes is for a single

thing to go wrong,

and everything else

seems that way.

You can't help it -

I know you can't.

The voices in your head,

so harsh and loud,

I'd snuff them out

like a candle if I could.

But oh,

I fear they've become

a wildfire 

spreading through your head,

burning your skin and

setting your soul

up in flames.

I'd carry you into water,

into the deep sea,

in hopes to put 

the fire out.

I love you,

you know

that I do.

Despite my of my fear of drowning,

I will go under

for you.

Breathe,

my darling,

take the hot

and the cold

as it comes,

but never let it

take you.

cold and burnt out
