For all the fish I could not catch.

I've been here before,
and it's cold.
It's still,
It's loneliness.
I can't breathe,
I can't be inbetween.
Where I am darling,
It's unbelievable.
I watch the world go by,
Literally.
I was once gold baby,
Now I am just glitter.
The closest man to me right now,
Is who you all call God.
The ocean of knives,
and the tears you've cried.
They're not enough,
To crack the sky.
I am an ageing mind,
In an ageing time.
There will be no hope for me,
The man on the moon.

Dear Friends

Dear Friends,
Here I stand and the edge of the world.
Arms in the air,
A foot over the edge.
If this ship is sinking,
Then I sink with it.
Eyes closed as I tremble,
A deep breath.
It could be my last,
It could be my first.
I turn away and run,
Run from the edge.
The blackest of places,
I have been.
Without you my dear friends,
I would be just a memory.
With the light of life,
Giving me its all.
I make the most of opportunities,
and right all my wrongs.
Shirt and tie,
No longer rags.
I look forward to tomorrow's,
With no fear of failure.
