..... don't let go-

The dust is playing
at an attempt to settle again.
Again.
Things almost turned bad
again.
Thin line we stand on;
 absolute hope
that we can keep our balance
until we find a way to step onto the sprawling,
joined path once more.
I don't want to end this journey
when there are so many more sights to see
and so many more curves
that beg to be maneuvered.

Eight Points

If I had a word, to send to you
Can you tell me what it would be
How many points is it worth
On the scrabble board
that is our life

Across the mountains
And over the seas
If my thoughts could travel
To anywhere I pleased
it might just be hello-o

It could be goodnight
How, fun, or serendipity
Just a smile or a wink
An expression in thought-
bubble, like a balloon

But really, in reality
I just want to let you know
I'm thinking of you
My friend over there
where it is, that you are

On the scrabble board
That is our li-ife
How many points do I get
When I simply say,
hello-

De-Pend-Ence-In

Dependent, codependence
Trying to be independent
Attempt for a healthier me
So there can be a better we
But I'm not the only 'me'

Are you trying
I think your trying
Can see you might be trying
But you don't see
Your dependence on the chain

I am trying
Can you see I'm trying
Breath, let things go
No reason to bring shit home
I want us, a healthier us

Dependent, codependence
Trying to be independent
Attempt for a healthier me
Is there a way to make it clear
With supportive still intact

I care, want to care
I give, want to give
To offer my support and love
With no expectation
For so much of the same

I'm not the only 'me'
In this we
Your problems are my problems
But your extra curriculars
Are not my chores

You're trying
I know you're trying
Attempting for a healthier you
So there can be a better we
But I still have to be me
