A familiar place

By Isla Skylark -
I wake up to the sound of terror echoing from my soul.
Knowing that my life needs this.
Knowing that I cannot go further without this.


I have been trying to avoid the gapping hole,
constantly whispering sweet nothings to me,
calling me to stay.
-urging me to drown.


Every waking morning, I question my existence.
I ignore the question, I ignore the hollows of my soul.
I ignore it so that I may choose life.
I ignore it so that I may live.


The hollows keep me insane.
It keeps me cold
It keeps me from getting lost in the sea of the people around me.


It keeps me warm.


The hollows are feeling neglected.

In Limbo

By Isla Skylark -
 In Limbo I am holding my breath... waiting for the right moment to breathe again. My eyes are closed, my head is spinning. I am shrouded in a fog that I cannot see through. I am wading through an unknown and there are moments I feel alone. I wonder who I can turn to.. I wonder if I should turn to anyone. I am holding my breath and I am suffocating... 13.08.23/17.04

Mosaic

By Isla Skylark -
Her heart so fragile, made of broken of glass. A mosaic from the past. It bleeds every day, with every beat and every breathe the love inside is less and less. People say it is a beautiful. People say it brings light. Yet no one, yes, no one, sees her plight. What is she to do, When she longs for is a love so true? A love that would bring a chalice to catch that which emanates from her heart of glass. Her heart so fragile, made of broken glass. Her mosaic heart. Isla Skylark 22.4.2023 19:06

A rendition of was: a dream to end

By Isla Skylark -
I wake beside her. In her bed enough for the both us. In her bed a bubble for our souls to meld. A home for us both. She turns to look into my dreamfilled eyes. her smile in the shape of "Good morning"; her arms a blanket of "I hope you slept well". My arms a story of "I don't want to leave". *** The sun has risen, I am forced to get up. Reality, Responsibility, All this beckons for our attentions. All our will to be devoted, no longer to us in our dream, but to our lives without each other. Our moments without each other. Our walks alone. An ours without an us. *** A shower away. My face is made. I look upon on her bed and remember our home within it. I smile as she pulls me to her arms. I breathe in her essence, feel her soul once more, embrace her heart in mine; As I wait for the dream to end. *** Shoes on my feet. Her, making coffee. The day beckons. Until the next time...
