What's Mine

Crumbling down

Without a sound

Falling sideways

Ripping through walls

Bursting through doors

Breaking down barriers

Screaming through tears.

Sprinting past time

Splintering through space

Rage on my face.

It slows

He knows.

I’m held

Lifted Up.

Set back down.

Rage starts to drown.

Floating underwater.

Breathing in what’s sought after.

And breathing it out.

Body weightless…lifeless.

Puppet strings draw me up,

Into the air.

Sparkling stars float there.

They drain from my heart,

Drain upstream.

I final try, a final scream.

Grasping back, my heart attacks.

Chest jots

Mind bolts

Just one more time.

Defeated and carried,

Fingernails grind the dirt.

Engines start.

Their eyes find me,

Shake me,

Change me,

Crush me.

Then from the other side,

They fly!

Chant to remind.

Come back to our kind!

But how this side has shined!

They circle me now,

Again teach me how.

How to move where I must,

Admit the old trust.

You’ll never know!

I just can’t go!

Wretched fingered reach,

Metal burning on my feet,

Screeching.

Still faces overhead.

Bodies, life shed.

Holes punched inside.

I collapse,

I finally cry.

I guess I knew.

And I flew.

Ragged and wrong.

My face shoved down strong.

To the black particles and yellow lines.

Watched the last light shine.

Maybe not someday,

But right now it’s what’s mine.
