Five Minute Slips

(Ken Latulippe)

That sinking feeling when you can feel your lover withdrawing from you and you already know what's coming, so you just have to wait.

I'll take a piece and breathe in my memories of you I'll scorch my throat and blow out of my mouth something new This ache stings in an unfamiliar way The smoke’ll take to the sky, spelling out “take this pain away” I know my judgement’s lacking, but so is my heart I couldn’t be bothered to tell heaven and hell apart And maybe i’ll slip back into habits of worse days Shame, I thought i’d grown But maybe it’s better this way And the exhaustion drags at your weary eyes That lose their sight with time Cause you should probably give up When you don’t want to see anything anymore Since all it reminds you of is the things you failed before And the planks for your bridges break And you land in the hands of fate You think you’re saved, but they’ve got other plans Even with glasses I struggle to see Wherher or not you’re really slipping away from me As the most joyous things fade to monochrome in my hands When you say those foggy words that neither of us understand Bitter tea to bite my tongue, And bitter air to bite my lungs Bittee thoughts to bite my brain And oh dear XXXX XX X XXXXXXX X XXXXXXX XXX XX XXX XXXX XXXX XXXXX X XXXXXXX XXXXXXX XXX XXX XXX XXXXXX XX XXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX XXXXX XX XXXXX XXXX XXX XXX XX XXXXXXXX XX XXX XXXXXX XXXXXX XXX XX XXXXX XX XXXX XXXXX XXXX XXXXX XXXXXXX XXXX XXXXX XX XXXXX XX XXX XXXXXXXX XX XXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XX XXXX XX XXX XXXXXX XXX XXXXXX XXXX XX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XX XXXX XXX XXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXX XXXX XXX XXXX XXXXX XXX X XXXXX XX XXX XXXXX XXX XXXXX XX XXXXXXXX XXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXX XXX X XXX XXXX XXX XXX

My Grudge

By Karianne Gabaldon


A depressing piece about someone hating themself so badly that they are their worst enemy and hold a self-grudge. Hurting themself into oblivion. I must admit that this was me until I got help. I am no longer this person due to newfound self-love. I hope those who feel this way get the help that they need as well. I love you and God loves you.
