I felt it snap - mind cracked like an elastic band
pulled back and slapped.
I fell flat, the room spun and I slammed the deck
arms and legs ache, I was a wreck
a ship that hit an iceberg - a titanic waste of space
but I hadn't yet hit my coup de grace
my mind sifting through its final traces
as I remember past disgraces
I felt it snap - like a feedback loop on a guitar amp tuned
to a frequency that only reaches my ears - I felt doomed
this was all too soon. thirty three and my life was at sea
a frantic swim against tidal waves, the seagulls laughed with glee
the sharks circled me, I was thirsty,
surrounded by an ocean of water yet all I wanted was poison to me
a quick release, some whiskey and beer to take the memories and set them free
And I'm face down on the sandy dirt, I flounder
like an upside down fish out of water, I flap and slap the ground
I felt it snap - like a slow motion car crash
that you can see coming, but cant avoid the moment that your head hits the dash
like running in a nightmare world, where the ground is clingy
or sitting on a river flowing towards a waterfall in just a rubber dinghy
my mind was a mess, an overflowing table of distress and regrets
stained with the stale smell of month old liquor and cigarettes
I ignored the threats
and I felt it snap, my mind, my body, my soul fell flat
on the ground scrambling to find the pieces that scattered
the parts of my mind that mattered,
the remnants of that old life - like a glass forever shattered
pulled back and slapped.
