In the future will I be able to say:
"I no longer cry like I used to"?
To do it more often, but for a different reason other than grieving.
To cry in the presence of a woman.
Such an unpleasant feeling.

Being vulnerable as a man.

The best that I can be always seems just out of reach.
But I am sick and tired of being sick and tired of giving, yet never receiving anything in return.
Despite this, it's the one thing I wish I could do forever.

Giving.

My whole being to someone else.
To break their fall when they stumble.
To guide their hands when they fumble.
To light the way in the darkest of night.

I want to give-

More than I want to live.

Flea-ridden canvas.
Itching and swollen.
Driving me into insanity.

Abjection.

Murky waters down below.
I see my reflection upon the surface, but he won't look me in the eyes.
I glare into his.

Dead.
Hateful.

Is this what it's come to?
Is this who I am?

I just wanted love.
As did we all.
Now I don't deserve it.

They are dropping like flies.
One after the other.
Like blots of oil on pristine attire.
Yet, I do not feel a thing.

Or more accurately, I feel at ease.

Decay.
When Evil rots in the ground.
I do feel a slight sense of relief.

My mind is slipping.
Dripping in ink-like substance.
Feeding the rot.
Metastasizing throughout.
Loss of control.
Subjugated by chemical agents in conjunction with brain activity.

The real me.
You don't know.
And never will.
For I am still.
When you draw near.

Bittersweet addiction.
Sometimes I am sweet on you.

To my dismay...
It comes and goes.
I cannot change.
We are who we are.

"Burn the cross."

Said the man in his cold, soulless kingdom.

A religion once promised to lead mankind out of darkness.

Now I see that religion is little less than a dying man's memoirs.

Defining deception, degeneracy and decrepit morality.

Your life built on lies, just like the world itself.
You-are-blind

"Molten metal down my lungs
Branding iron on my tongue
City smog inside my mind.

~ The words of a slave."
You are him.
You are her.
There is no in between.
