Flat batteries
emptied ears

and I
was alone
with myself
to manage
brain unaided

Why now
does music leave me
in weakest
most feeble hour?

This crammed vehicle
carries sweaty souls

~faint~

Oh
open the window
in this humid jam

Captured in hurry for home
impatient limbs shift
with audible hum of engine

Seperating you
from these times
is scientific impossibility

War won
overriding self chatter
dig upon skull
squeeze into weary spaces
you don't fit

Not today
please, not today
but
you've alredy sunk my shallow
breath
to drought

Until tomorrow
I re live
throb of chest
distressed reconstructions
in mind
of how you left
me
in
this
jam
with no wheels
and no passenger
for company
.
.
.

Instant karma's gonna get you.

ooh, doesn't it just tick you right off when your batteries die? At least you got a good write out of it *hugs*

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Gemma, I'm so sorry to hear this bus broke down, dearest friend, I'd be happy to give you a lift in the Rainbow Bus and get you to where you need to go, as we all send angel hugs of comfort your way! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Gemma, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
