Handled she felt with care and sank in emotions molasses into honey she trickled slowly into blood waiting watching shadows slowly getting larger as they descended in a long slow motion graceful swans of decay an orchestra serenaded their way deep into the pit of her soul vultures nibbled at flesh slowly blackening every piece wondering at the failure in her the peaceful lax she left her house less and less each day vibrating the screen commanded her attentions a double life that never existed sordid communications invitations left ignored slowly sinking the shadows ate her away the lightbulbs dimmed each day slowly blinking out she did nothing and covered her room in darkness holed away safe and secure no change to report she once thrived on change living on desperation and white rice and fear filling the holes in the walls with toothpaste and love born out of loss and anarchist ideals too many years spent feeling like the caged bird that sang because music was the only joy the only escape the only way to feel free still she felt loss ignored it with any substance available still dripping and missing wanting *** and a lovers touch a lovers comfort she felt incomplete unable to break the barrier to true friendship few saw past the exterior isolated and alone drank every last drop her beauty she left thrown around carelessly she dressed only for herself and sang alone

Slowly Sinking
Handled she felt with care and sank in emotions molasses into honey she trickled slowly into blood waiting watching shadows slowly getting larger as they descended in a long slow motion graceful swans of decay an orchestra serenaded their way deep into the pit of her soul vultures nibbled at flesh slowly blackening every piece wondering at the failure in her the peaceful lax she left her house less and less each day vibrating the screen commanded her attentions a double life that never existed sordid communications invitations left ignored slowly sinking the shadows ate her away the lightbulbs dimmed each day slowly blinking out she did nothing and covered her room in darkness holed away safe and secure no change to report she once thrived on change living on desperation and white rice and fear filling the holes in the walls with toothpaste and love born out of loss and anarchist ideals too many years spent feeling like the caged bird that sang because music was the only joy the only escape the only way to feel free still she felt loss ignored it with any substance available still dripping and missing wanting *** and a lovers touch a lovers comfort she felt incomplete unable to break the barrier to true friendship few saw past the exterior isolated and alone drank every last drop her beauty she left thrown around carelessly she dressed only for herself and sang alone
