Chemical Equation

by

Alena Hack

Her slow smile fades with each hour
The mission, the street, the gear
She doesn't fear the consequences of her existance
Just shrugs and says
"Were all gonna die anyway"
She looks back at the clock
Just another hour
Her llife is segmented into
Waiting, chasing, using
Her eyes as small as the needleitself
And her inner toughts kept between
The covers of her journal
Kept away inside
You can't let the street know you have a heart beat
Need oozing from her pores
Smelling like a junkie, loving like a junkie, needing like a junkie
Empty spot in her heart signifies the choice she made
In giving half her soul to a
Chemical equation
That empty spot can never be filled
Unless it be love in it's purest form
But love isn't here
It knocks occasionally but the addiction
Slams the door
And shse doesn't have to worry about reality
Just shrugs and says
"Who needs love anyway"

The Rebuilding

by

Alena Hack

I hear one thousand waves crashing
With each story, each expression
I see you screaming abusing and silent
With the pain
Of one thousand waves crashing
People arrive with bags of nothing
that hold everything that hold them up
Ans i hear their story and i see the current building
And, i watch you, listern to you, i feel for you
I feel your fire, i feel your rain, i feel your pain
And the stirring of one thousand waves crashing
You begin your journey and the light rain falls begin
I hear you scream and the thunder rolls and you
Thrush and punch at the demons in your soul
As the rain pours down you comfort and you open
You unleash, i see you rip at your yourself
Tear off your skin and hold your raw heart in your
Tired open hands and right when you think
You are drowning, i see you with the power of
One thousand waves crashing
You begin to rise to the surface with your face
Gently tipping towards
The sunlight of hope and courage
Slowwly calming the torment of
One thousand waves crashing
