Save Me Poem by James Casey

Save Me

Somebody save me, my thoughts are twirling,
The ground is spinning, the ceiling whirling.

When I looked directly into her eyes
All I saw was emptiness and lies.

I can't concentrate, my mind is spinning fast,
My thoughts are disheveled, can't recall the last.

I have to get away from here, have to get sane,
I'm numb now but I have to feel some pain.

These ups and downs are killing me,
More so than, I'll never let you see

Surely I'm not good at this, can't you see my fears
I can't be this good swallowing so many tears.

The chaos is in me, I don't know how to hold on.
The love of my life just told me she's gone

My biggest fortress is my biggest fear,
I can't let her know, I must depart from here.

I let all think that I' m just so sublime
But its all a lie... this peace isn't mine.

My life is so hectic and troubled inside
I'll just slink away find somewhere to hide
