M ... The Pessimist ... / / “I see now that the story isn’t about us; it’s about what it means to bother to know someone, which is really a story about what it means to be known.” - Mandy Len Catron
When we sit at staionary station Watching Our essence drift by Sometimes you'll find the strength To reach out At the trails left behind. But sometimes you won't. And as you impound These thoughts, it's already too Late. You wait, wondering where; people Have gone, You open your eyes, realising they were never closed. And you tumble slightly onto the tracks. As the memoirs of your evening come back, You awaken screaming internally at all the empty faces. You squint briefly To the inconveince of blinking. But you are no longer there.

To Recall Recent Memories
I remember being dizzy As I followed the spiral staircase of life. I lost my feelings somewhere inbetween the railings Someplace near the bottom? Or maybe on the steps? I used to articulate my sadness But silently fell numb; empty. Perpetually avoiding all matter. I lay here for days wishing I could sleep. Counting the passage of time, but not really. I sleep while watching my eyesight fade. Sometimes I'll ponder the beauty of making red petals. With knives I'd like to buy. I dream about the luxury of sharing them with my bathroom. To show I existed once But for now I merely exist.

Still Here. I Suppose
I'm diabolically lonely And in love With melancholy As she leaves me Like a cancer on my lips My wisdom depreciates-- And I miss the depressions She left me in the snow. When we talk, she tries to whisper Sweet Sundays of pill-popping To hangman Tuesdays. But I am too afraid to leave my house. It's stagnant here. With the sadness I should marry. Kissing me one last time before I get to leave.

My Devotion To Dejection
It took time For me-- As I ate glass, In pitch black 'Breathing' I fear for the colour yellow. And the time it took To spit out the Pain; bleeding Wrinkles. Expect nails so Long you'd know me. I speak in whispers Singing homeless cords. I only wish I was awake this time

I Only Wish Glass Was Sharper
Hello I laughed Euphorically To the people around me. They stare blankly But I speak too fast; faster Than this occasion calls. At least pigeons eat My understanding And my poetry is speaking nonsense Now. So I talk to dolphins But their speech impediments Were to beautiful– To hear. Goodbye I tried to say While my jugular bled all over the floor.

Euphorically I Bleed
Sickly blue Disturbed dissections I scream silently To anyone whose asking. Because it's my favourite thing to say. I protrude emptiness, so black That rainy days Are bright. As you shove bones Down my throat Expecting me to swallow And saying it's help. I cut my skin, to feel Dissatisfaction And wait for my lungs To stop But the bus stop blues Never come. So bleeding waterfalls Calmly I metaphorically take pills Again and again. Even though I'm metaphysically impaired I'm still waiting to die.

Bus Stop Blues
I'm cavern crackling Broke There's a cistern That talks So I hide-- Gregariously behind sunglasses And tatter-ed hoodies. As I poison myself To death With nothing- A stream bellows Emptiness Masking how numb The Moon is, Sunlight sleeps- Allegorically into time If a chronomancer Knew. My memory was mist I'd apologise stupidly And hide my hands to Show you the complexity Of pain. But I'm just A closed book burning Blood with My inability to speak.

The Tatters of Time
It's her soul That's broken We mist it. Failing to save her. He fell frustrated, Trying to strangle callouses On his hands. Until moonflowers shone The brightest black.

I sip slower At weavings and Winter wisps Where, weather is withering Blue. And I enunciate Evil everlasting. Dark kraken Dreams spelt in *** Eating- Colourless mixtures Throw hues that Don't exist yet. I trip for a second, And grey slips Out- As I fumble, I see A broken hare Well? I wept blindness Into my hands Gratefully declining My friend Who's Death.

Misunderstanding Colours
Caring is hard. When your soul Is Numb.
