lovebomb

discordance, dissonance, static that ripples echoes across the expanse of a fractured mind.  
how to breach, broach, subjects that had once been open tomes; now locked tight.

access revoked, denied, abolished;  
it screams plain across a deadpan stare already executed divine judgement.

how much will love sustain and why can't this bird learn the proper tune?  
even just to pretend..
 
at what point does a nest become a tomb?  
 
devoid, devoid, devoid, corroding... collapsing,

a flickering light leads the way, guides, imparts, and from this grows a sense of self.

it persists against the nature in which threatens to selfishly snuff out that which it tends to reflect.

claws to gain purchase, desperately with silver tongue,
to attempt to pilfer the light for an end eternal.  
 
there will always be scars.
 
you will survive this one too.

Author's Note
my neurodivergent brain cannot wrap around the concept of being asked for help and vilified when i've given it. today marked the end of a friendship that i thought precious; someone who we sheltered and loved. it really sucks when people regress or simply allow themselves to be swayed by other influences outside of the friendsphere.
