Polychromatic pain
Six feet deep
in this loneliness
Where demons
are my only company
&
Lights burn my mind
&
Words sting my soul
An opulescent orange
Drenched in disgust
nothing moves forward
&
Everything holds me back
Music is my only companion
my brain drinks in lyrics of
profoundly damaged artists
What damages them?
Pain,disgust, life
Flowers grow in my ribcage
Blood their water
bones their bed
But soon, they too
will wilt before they bloom
F u l l y
Like a woman who
saves herself for the
right man,
but who offers herself
to strangers in bars
because she knows
time is her enemy
These flowers will be
destroyed, just like the body
in which they were planted
Six feet deep in
Polychromatic pain
Six feet deep
being driven insane
No pills, no potions
No drink, no escape
Your labyrinth is yours alone
&
You will die
attempting to escape
in this loneliness
Where demons
are my only company
&
Lights burn my mind
&
Words sting my soul
An opulescent orange
Drenched in disgust
nothing moves forward
&
Everything holds me back
Music is my only companion
my brain drinks in lyrics of
profoundly damaged artists
What damages them?

Flowers grow in my ribcage
Blood their water

Polychromatic pain
Six feet deep
being driven insane
No pills, no potions
No drink, no escape
Your labyrinth is yours alone
&
You will die
attempting to escape

-daamnn what a way to put it-. clever and real
"No pills, no potions
No drink, no escape
Your labyrinth is yours alone
&
You will die
attempting to escape"

This piece brought me to tears... you write what my pen can't...
I know loneliness can drive you insane...
"nothing moves forward
&
Everything holds me back" > Damn...what a way to say it!
Thank you for sharing <3

It's quite disgusting (for me) to marvel n deeply fall entranced by your sadness...
I don't truly mean to, but it's your damn fault becuz you're actually that damned GIFTED with a pen! :)

There's nothing to feel anything for, really. I'm just another sad soul in a sea of sad souls. Damaged just like anyone else who has expectations. No need to feel disgusted,though. Thank you for the read & compliment.
