I feel like we never truly age, the child inside of us just waits and bleeds

Change.

I feel a slight breeze
as I stand upon
the precipitous edge
of indecision.

The earth tilts,
I teeter and waver
and then regain
my false sense of balance.

I can't stay here forever,
I know that much.
Looking down at my options,
I ponder whether it's better
to make a decision and jump,
or wait for fate
to push me one way or another.

The breeze picks up.
Time is babbling by.

I can wait
just a bit
longer.
I'm safe here, stagnant but safe.

What is it?
What am I supposed to,
to...

To want?

I'll crawl over the shattered glass
left from the window I broke
when I was trying to desperately escape your love,
I'll crawl over it all
just to get you back.

No, not you, ****.
The previous one.

I'll lacerate. It'll all be in vain.

Because I know I don't want you,
I know what I don't want.
Cut this **** out of my previous poem. Poem poem poem. *******.

God knows
I always hated
being loved,
being
together.
I always hate.
I hated all ways,
always.
Always. All ways.
All ways lead within.
All weighs, too heavy again.
All weight resides with kin.
I'll weigh,
I'll wait.
I'll wade through
aisle ways and
isle ways and
all I'll, I'll weigh
all aisles and
all isles and...
Anyway,
any way I'll get it
I'll take it.
I'll take aisles.
Aisles often taken,
isles on the lake and,
I'll take the taken.
All taken.
I'll ache an
alt ache and
all wait and
I'll wait in the
isles wake.
I'll wake and
all waken, and
I'll...

All..

Always
and always,
and
always and
always.
Greener with the scenery.

I feel extraordinarily schizophrenic.

I've nothing
to say.

So I've gone and said it.

She used three
prescription placebo pills
to sweeten her coffee.
At least,
that's what
she said
they were.

Were mirrors to melt,
I'd set them ablaze.

I'd laugh
at my molten gaze.
I'd smile
at the puddle.

Twenty thousand years
I'd watch,
as the glass
slowly forgot.

Give me
pride,

I'll love
again.
