Waves of Time

Eyes like a blade, cuts me deep but I long for the pain.

Heart like a grenade, the burning blaze eats away at my brain.

My lungs bleed the cancer, should I stay or simply fade away?

Things I cannot say, stitch my wounds and gently piece together the shattered glass, while I lie here broken beneath the past.

The waves of time will drown you and I.

Sometimes I feel nothing, sometimes I feel everything, the silent tears fell as I watched your soul slowly die.   

Beyond the stains of loneliness, I never want to say goodbye.

Plastic smiles and a thousand lies seep through your barriers, mind wasting away, darkness creeping, maggots tearing you apart from the inside.

The waves of time will drown you and I.  

Emptiness in our heads, sleeping on hollow beds, choking on what’s been said.

Twisting fate, the voices scream and beg me to medicate, I’m remembering and forgetting everything all at once. 

I can take this ache no longer.

This poem lives up to its title and to your pen name...your opening lines are familiar as we often are willing to suffer great pain, even in remembering a past love...the things we hold in often become temporary sutures for our wounds and memories are just like those waves, coming and going, in time, to the ebb and flow of our feelings...wounds heal and reopen and heal and reopen...i love the repetition of the line: "The waves of time will drown you and I"...so powerful those waves and we can drown beneath them... and, the image of medicating ourselves to slowly forget the memories that linger, finally drowning any memory of 'you and I' is a powerful one...thanks for sharing your deep work, Twiggy
