So it happens again...
I ask you what waters you've tread
You say you have not been to swim
I point out that your pants are damp
You blame me for having eyes
You say you have not been to swim
I point out that your pants are damp
You blame me for having eyes

Go
I see myself running into traffic
Red means go
Red means go

Burning bridges
Life is a river in darkness;
Loved ones are bridges of light.
If you keep burning them down;
You'll soon find yourself alone in the dark.
Loved ones are bridges of light.
If you keep burning them down;
You'll soon find yourself alone in the dark.

Heart Attacked
regret shame sorrow grief piled mid-sternum
weight like a seated elephant threesome
inspiration impossible
no longer invulnerable
light dimming room blurring
strange people surrounding
voices muffled
disembodied
oaken
coffin
numb
(C) 2020

Noises
It takes noise to appreciate the silence
and silence to appreciate the noise.
and silence to appreciate the noise.

I have to save me
I Can't be your life jacket,
I Have to save myself first.
I Have to save myself first.

Pestilent Psyche
morbid kisses
catatonic purification
desolate dreamscapes
sadistic overtures
listless boredom
intoxicating embraces
pestilent psyche
apathetic existence
lustful vengeance
desperate beauty

Death but not physically displayed
I'm dying....but.....there is
NO GRAVESTONE
NO FUNERAL.
NO COFFIN.
NO DECOMPOSITION.
NO GOODBYES.
NO PICTURES DISPLAYED
AND I FIND NO PEACE.
I'm dying....but...not physically.
I am..
BREAKING
CRYING
SCREAMING
HURTTING
GASPING FOR AIR
AND ROTTING AWAY.
From deep within.
NO GRAVESTONE
NO FUNERAL.
NO COFFIN.
NO DECOMPOSITION.
NO GOODBYES.
NO PICTURES DISPLAYED
AND I FIND NO PEACE.
I'm dying....but...not physically.
I am..
BREAKING
CRYING
SCREAMING
HURTTING
GASPING FOR AIR
AND ROTTING AWAY.
From deep within.

Isolation is a Reaper
Worse than temporary
near complete sensation
of emotional isolation
Reappearing
lifelong cycles
Bridges burning down
because I cannot
...conform
I just want
renewal
plenty of tolerance
floating around...
...any crumb left
for me?

Hide
Pained by life
Alive by mistake
Too different
I can't relate.
I wear my mask
Day by day.
To feel accepted
Crudely hide my pain
Alive by mistake
Too different
I can't relate.
I wear my mask
Day by day.
To feel accepted
Crudely hide my pain
