Rescue-Is-Possible

We used to have a rope One that tied you to me So that I may feel your pain and take it away Somethings wrong with that rope I still feel your pain But there's nothing I can do You tell me not to love you I say I won't (But my heart beats in time with my care for you) You tell me I don't know her So I don't know anything But I do I know that she's stupid Because anyone would have to be stupid to hurt you But I also know that she's simply human And can't help not seeing something great You tell me you're going to be worthless But I know you won't Because one day, I will go down And I will pick you up And bring you to the ro

 Originally it sounded like a faucet, one whose bolts needed to be tightened a long time ago, but no one ever got around to it.  When entering the house, it was the same as any other day. "Honey, I'm home!" I quoted from my roommate's favorite '50's sitcom, but oddly there was no answer.  There was no giggle of a girl hiding behind the couch or beneath the covers to give me a stir.  There was no laugh track on the background of a television show blaring from the living room's entertainment system.  There wasn't a melody of stockinged feet twirling on the wooden floorboards.  All of these would have been normal; all of these would have given

One.  Two.  Three. Breathe in, Breathe out One can be added One can be taken away An odd number has never killed anyone before But they're yellow And yellow is the sign of caution It's the sign of danger The sun is interpreted to be yellow And the sun causes cancer Breathe in, Breathe out Without the sun, the earth would be too cold to support organisms We'd all be dead Color has never killed anyone before But it's 11:33 Lunch is supposed to be eaten at noon Not 11:59 and not 12:01 Noon Any sooner or any later, What would be the point to eat lunch at all Breathe in, Breathe out I'm hungry and I have food Time in numbers

I packed up my bags and left I left my wife that I love dearly And my newborn baby girl The one I was so sure I wanted my entire life I packed up and left my job My friends Everything Living in a world Where I have nothing Makes me feel more alive then when I'm loved When people are craving to be with me Needing me I feel dead I feel like there is no sign of life left to my robotic moves I feel like there is no reason to continue systematically Sometimes, I just want to feel that pain Sometimes, I just want to cry myself to sleep I want to slice my wrists in anger and frustration I want to rid myself of food when I'm complet
