i feel the twinging
prickled flesh
as my skin begins
to make its presence known
my eyes wince with tightness
nascent wells
of shame’s dissent
have spent their might
faint with fight
resisting moments worn
on sleeves unseen
pray let me release them
the pools of fetid water
long since gathered
in the basin
of this abandoned basement
hoarded piles of horror denied
dormant trials left love unspoken
musted stains on coiling cardboard
hewn and ragged
strewn atop bedraggled
debris and bristled sheddings
shifting eyes peer through
the flooring
from rotting foundation
mottled with blackened mold
unfolding with dim memories
describing strangers faces beaming
in a flash of crimson sun
who crashed and burned the bridges
division spurning mounds of trash
defiled by rats of sentimental mindset
the wasted lives
sustain their freedom
sinking into ashen sand
lament laid on a bed of dross
dossing down in remnants of disaster
as festering anguish
dares to breach the surface
but its reach is aimless
its will, exhausted
my soul accosted by the albatross
with a bitter sting of remorse
but the truth of it all
bares some detached part of my resolve
maintaining a disparity
with such apathetic fervor
wanting to possess
anything of scant meaning
but dreams no longer save me
from my fevered nightmare
and quite frankly
i just don’t give a flying fuck
my gentle heart was plucked
and plundered
by a band of mirrored thieves
so eerily familiar
as i watched them from my static wrest
their silent footfalls
caved my chest in
each one waded in procession
armed with barbed sticks
trudging off with
my one and only
last possession
wistfully crossing over
the crystalline precipice
through the gift
of an angel’s clement kiss

I’m going for a walk.”

i could sit in silence
for the remainder of my time
pondering what words
i had misspoken

the ones that struck discord
and plucked me from your heart
but as it is
i don’t know where to start

every molecule within me
vibrates from your loss
the pit that was my stomach
twists with anguish

drifting in and out
consciousness throbbing
in an inverse pulse
fading into realms
that hold no future

arid turns the surface
in the absence of your voice
scattered whispers
haunt me from the darkness
where i fall

filament no longer fills
this gaping hole upon my chest
spilling forth the reason to go on
toiling through these dying days
missing you
less than i once was
what is left now
but to say
goodbye

i follow
every tear you shed
like seas
in lunar tow
miles below
the surface wiles
of haunting

swallowing
these pools of pride
in throes
of static thunder
long denied
their place
of final resting

assimilate me
in your arms
as once you
had before
on a bed
of blurred incrimination

where all words
are thought immured
and hearts are free
from mooring
falling
from the pillars
of creation

you’re the reason
that I gave up
thinking
drinking
was a bad idea

if not for you
i wouldn’t
still be living
such a depressingly shitty life

before i met you
i was lost
in happiness and innocence

you’re the other half
of me
that makes my misery complete

thank you
for always being there
to show me why i have no worth

i guess i’m just lucky
surviving so many suicide attempts
