frighten to converge to the abyss
that black hole where empty 'fines' go to die
a toll ticket exchanged for tears that have dried
in a well emptied by farewells denied
cut in ribbons and half exchanged memories
pieces fragmented like a wasted life embraces insanity in order to survive
sharp not when inflicted, the pain shies away from the natural
it is when they return sheepily and meek, hysteria difuses a sense of familiarity
like being scared and trapped, at home, from the beginning 'till then:
if you pray and tell no one but the blue sky at noon
like a call upon, hypnotized
did it really happen... to us?
swallowing hard for no fucking reason
weighted down by dramatic nostalgia out of boredom I suppose
a mountain of faded eyes bother me like satellites
we concur to be a mistake still we wave as we go under
pleading our case to the depths
no emperor could grant respite
no calm post-storm could restore
lost childhood contempt for reason
the ultimate prize of curiosity interwined with innocence
is all but lost as we descent further out of reach of Eden
chicken too run headless, momentarily, in a finite proportion
as death reaches suicide (or is it the other way spun?)
following orders so I don't get left behind
not realizing indecision is disappointing the demon in the mirror
preying on my downfall
all agitation, disoriented or so excuses compel my tongue
a poison I hope penetrates my frame akin to acid trust
bones and karma are the ultimate equalizer in this living hell we both share beloved
in no way shape or form could you come to understand how my distain has infected my desire
'till I find my purpose,
wipe the slat clean
and (bite down)
dispose of the rag with (what?)'s on display
your body will have to suffice.
