Out of Reach

Remember all the times when I'd crash onto my bed

Laughing, giggling and smiling like an idiot

And I didn't even know I was one.

Those late nights writing secret stories to myself

Pouring my thoughts, heart and tears into each word

Casually throwing reference for only me to laugh at.

Storming up dreams in my cauldron

That only brewed untouchable hopes which taunted me

Luring me over to take a whiff or sip only throwing me back.

Though it changed suddenly

A wall blocked me from this happiness

The space grew smaller and smaller.

Before i knew it

I was suffocating in the tight space

My nails clawed at air for an escape.

And it was gone

The pain disappeared with the walls

But my lungs were still shriveled.

As I relaxed the walls returned

Crushing me alive but it was worse than before

I wailed and cried for an escape.

The area became unbearable

And it spoke with a deal in mind

The price was lethal but I paid it.

Regrets stormed train of thought

As I beat myself up

But I saw it from a mile away.
