30/M/The South I like words. I want to write.
using this medium to scrap what i’m not willing to carry today unduly honor-bound this has become strained at the edges of my peripheral, warping into a mirage of heat lines and yet remains wholly under my thumb for now TEEMING how do you expect me to keep this up? if i am what i think about all day and i am what i do then come take my hand because if He’s not here then where? despite my belief in such nonsense, this could be a sign all i need to do is allow my self to step back and absorb the scale and admit to myself that i’m terrified of the Consequences

caterwaul
nestled comfortably amongst the murk of my blanket        (statements) she’s slowly extruding lies and melting into myself         (assessment) dripping, as it trickles down oozing from your swollen leaky ******* squelching the flames of my passion         (project) desires left smoldering as i sup upon the thick and pitiless black smoke pouring from somewhere inside feeling ashamed of how i must look this does not relent the maelstrom of aspersions  cast by my tongue         (bath) on all that pass here without a second glance

I easily confuse your ****** shrapnel with beauty. When hearing the symmetry in the voice of gods. That sweet balance of indirect proportionality. Like sloshing foam trapped in an equilateral cradle. Your lies always calming me into the ease of this chaos. All these nights spent in this parking lot. (You’d don’t know: I’ve been here before) But now having tasted it, I can’t comprehend how to push back the veil. And finally getting what I asked for, I can’t take the weight. This reality sends me begging. Cowaring in the corner. Choking on all the variables. Reneging for my well-worn cross.

Change (Getting What I Want)
On days like today: Cold and hard I hit snooze too many times To stay in bed for another round Of thinking Listening Praying Any you, Glinting through soggy eyes, Begging for hope, While pulling the wings off your only chance to find it Even though your love’s bound in tragedy You can surely find a way to see it... Try running your fingers along the voluptuous curves of its symmetry Without digging your nails in Or do... I know I love it And don’t forget to look for me, my lover I’ll be the one with broken knees That you’ll have to circle back for At the End

On Mornings Like These
Here I am. Again. A subject almost too fossilized to write about If I’ve strained every morsel of poesy from this experience then, why do I keep living it? Choice? I am able to feign perennial gratitude for my salvation For one brief moment Before I’m willing to sell every stitch of my being for one last glimpse of synthesized rapture
