Mey's Mind

in the corner of the room
the silent piano with its untouched keys
no longer lovingly touched by slender fingers

entering the age of melancholy
sweet memories slowly fading
the sound of her voice
her smile that lighted up the room like the brightest sun

becoming undone

I find myself asleep in bed,
simultaneously watching the night-sky as a child
a young girl
a grown woman


linear time dismissed
I lie awake within a dream
a stream of consciousness teaching me
I know nothing
yet  I understand all

drowning
I dive, deep into your soul
breaking trough the surface


I'm
         going
                       under


don't try to save me
I'm ready
I won't breathe


[please make me breathe]

know this...

the earth remembers all
she's witnessed the rise and fall of empires

she's been used, broken and abused;
wearing the scars to prove it

still, she's beautiful & wild

you should love her,
like you would your mother
you should cradle her,
like you would your child
