Batchelor
Look at me, look upon my city and tremble.
We lie asleep, waiting for when the time s ripe,
In shackle's rust, in ragged breaths.

Fear the night's chilling embrace.
Arise from the dead, o great ones.

Shuffling all the cards I've played back into my deck,
Closing up all the stitches I've got over it all.

Kicking down the throttle of this machine once more,
It roars to fire and smoke, bringing my focus stage right.

I'm searing into the sunset without you.
For Jeff, whose ***** of an ex left him broken once, and he took The Red Pill and became a beast of a man, unrecognizable from the weakness he once held.

The months have come and passed
The seasons changed for time withers away the mightiest amongst us

So why do I feel so alone?
Time heals all wounds
But I think Father Time forgot about me.
The seasons
And the months

A hole.

One day I'll find new skin to begin with,
One day I'll find new eyes to yearn with.

I just have to keep working at my heart.
Help me, I broke apart my insides.

Selfish til the end, I never thought I'd be like that.
Guilt, remorse, mercy for the mind.

Within the Grey, I saw the Light.
Within the Black, I shook with fright.
Within the White, I stepped into blight.
Sinking into acidic muck.

I'll let the fires scorch my very soul.

No more succor, no more vice.


If only to keep myself humble.
Devouring myself for peace.

Fire, fire everywhere once more.

The only difference, in the middle of this tempest,


I am licked and caressed by the coldest flames I've ever felt.
Fall silent

Kiss me goodnight.

I'll court myself once more,

Slowly, as the walls come down.

Lovingly,as if I was holding my newborn child.

Easing myself so I might hold my own joy in arms long unused.
Give me the grace to accept myself.

I've been depreciating myself, as time went on
Faster & faster with the dexterity of a rogue
Ever so slightly like the courtesans of old

Til the day I find myself, and love myself for what I am.

Sometimes always monsters.
Always sometimes a monster.

Arm in arm with someone that's not yours : - Intoxicating.

Palms on someone you shouldn't touch : - Exhilarating.

Fingers caressing someone with sensuality thought lost : - Euphorical.
Where did all the time go, in heartbeats?

What can you do when you realize you're the reason things end?
In the belly of the beast, in the mind of the monster.

I'm done tracing for others.
Try as I may, her whispers kept derailing me.

But when I listen closely,
Eavesdropping on my very own soul,
Gasping at the horrid truth,
I know now, it is not about her.
Now, with renewed purpose, yet with a shaky will.
Some things can never be reconciled.
Feel my voice crack and heart ache.
