Slur pee
Give me an adjective to describe this:
The _______ loneliness.
The itch that persists to ____ my skin,
The
______ twitch; the urge to give in.
The voices that
_____ me not to resist.
Whispering
________ nothings in my head,
Death howling in the wind, a hand to
_____.
Held
_____ in my grasp, life slips away like sand.

-
_____
haunting, kiss, finger, coax, bittersweet, extend, tightly, SLuR.

Slur pee
Life’s a missed stitch, a stain, a misprint
A crumpled ball inside your head,
Ironed out and wrinkled again;
Tossed into the waste bin, I kissed the rim
And slipped, now I’m holding onto the edge
Like some failed gymnast- a trapeze artist
Without a sense of balance.

Stupid *****.

You balled a fist attached to weak wrists,
Went for an easy hit, swung and missed;
Knocked yourself unconscious.
