embittered by sadness
|
||||
emboldened by hope
|
||||
one more day, you deny
|
||||
the allure of the rope
|
||||
|
||||
the promise of a world
|
||||
not far from your hands
|
||||
three inches to winter
|
||||
not hidden in distant lands
|
||||
|
||||
but the clock is ticking
|
||||
and the walls are pressing in
|
||||
|
||||
and you do nothing.
|
||||
|
||||
you just swallow the pain.
|
||||
|
||||
while the number in your bank account
|
||||
climbs ever higher
|
||||
it's never enough
|
||||
to rekindle passion's fire
|
||||
|
||||
he scalpels out your heart
|
||||
and leaves in its wake a void
|
||||
and replaces your joints
|
||||
with hinges from toys
|
||||
|
||||
and parades you around
|
||||
on fraying black strings
|
||||
and wonders why you no longer
|
||||
have the capacity to sing
|
||||
|
||||
with porcelain flesh
|
||||
underneath frilly clothes
|
||||
he puppets you around
|
||||
while your organs drown in prose
|
||||
|
||||
your mind is wandering
|
||||
with black holes enthralled:
|
||||
life from this point is
|
||||
not living at all
|
||||
|
||||
you resolve that, if you are truly doomed
|
||||
to live life in constant hollow war:
|
||||
you'll farm from the anguish, hopelessless, gloom
|
||||
in the respite between arguments, interruptions, chores
|
||||
|
||||
barren land you may be
|
||||
but harvest you must
|
||||
the words the last thing
|
||||
of yours you can trust
|
||||
|
||||
the words bubble up
|
||||
from the depths of your throat
|
||||
so fast you fear
|
||||
you'll start to choke
|
||||
|
||||
hold them within
|
||||
right next to your heart
|
||||
write it on your skin
|
||||
lest it tear you apart
|
||||
|
||||
and shatter the puppet
|
||||
your jailer of you has made
|
||||
allowing the dreams
|
||||
you've incubated to fade
