Your Breath In My Lungs

Your Breath In My Lungs

A Poem by Jacky Bones
"

i decided to write this off the top of my head didnt think anything a head of time then i read through it i decided to make it a bit more lyrical

"
Its hard to wake up
When the radio is always on
And my fashion is always changin
Cause I'm still wearing these pants
Caught off guard, Hows it feel?
Surrounded by drugs ( Hows it feel) I'm blazin
Their dancing around me
What have I done? ( What have I become?)
Pas de chance, Would you love me at second glance?
We meet at a speak easy , but I never easily speak
Do you believe.... These words I keep
At the back of my mind and the tip of my tongue?
It taste like blood ( Is it love?)
Deconstruction, Landscaping your eyes
Your painting bleeds
Your standing in the rain
My apologize ( For all the rain)
My apologize ( For all the pain)
My apologize ( For all of this)
I'll trust this hornet again
Bathe myself in mercury

( Dreaming, Yeah I'm dreaming
Dream on Dreamer
I'm sleeping oh dear god
   I'm sleeping
You cant wake this sleeper
Oh my god please let me be dreaming
Please be dreaming of me
  Darling)

Cause the hell I have to pay
Is over whelming
I'm drifting out to sea, you see?
Car crashes on sea beds
What did the sun say?
I need your rescue. I need your saving
                               ( I love you)
But I'm at war with these tides
Over who I am
Please light this cigarette
Another year has come and gone
 The winter has strangled the fall
     Snapped her neck
  And I'm falling back
      To who I was
  But that's life in a hospital
      But that's the Joke
 So  selfishly consumed
Is this separation
optional?
Destined to fail
I'm biting my tail
Your eyelashes flail
I don't remember
But I use to smile
And I think you used to smile
And My body would tremble
We last touched hands in September
I'm catching a cold ( So cold)
From dancing in the river
Stepping on my own toes
I'm tired of being alone
With a forest of friends
I'm with ghost ( Its making me sick)
My bed rolls me out
This is the show ( Lying down getting kicked)
Sounds like a cricket losing tune
I guess this is the end
All out of things to say
But thanks again for giving me
 A chance that day

It does stray from your usual style, but at the same time it does give off the same lyrical feeling that you usually have in your poetry...you know, like as if you're singing something in your head.

I did notice the trophy scars lines and I like them. You build off of them a lot in your poetry which is something I really like. :)

When I read this poem, I sense confusion. I see spinning and getting lost within the person's own thoughts, reaching out for some kind of salvation from something that only partially exists, something that cannot be grasped. But towards the end, I feel it dwindling down into a sort of acceptance.

It had a different feel, but overall I enjoyed reading it. (:
