Rewritten: Blind or Broken

I am coerced into loathsome desperation

Unable to elicit a feeling of existence

All because my dreams violently clash with reality

 

I cannot prevail

I will not survive

I am weak

 

Failing to hunt down a sufficient supply of motivation

Buried beneath the world of paperbacks

Scrambling to bump into an emotion that will jump start my heart

 

An adrenaline ****** suffering withdrawal

Tormenting this flaccid ***** in my chest

Please, someone tackle me into relapse

 

Every attempt to ascend from darkness

Annihilated

With each crash and burn

Extracts the impossible truth

 

I cannot feel

I do not care

I am dead

 

Where is the spark that I used to lust for?

Am I Blind or Broken?!

 

I need to feel

I need to want

I need to prosper

 

Taunting a pair of keen eyes to electrify my neurons

Demanding a bitten lip to punch a hole in my gut

Slamming bodies against bodies into doorways

 

Grabbing confidently

Kissing forcefully

Unbuttoning frantically

 

But...

 

I can't

Feel

Anything

 

Love and Lust are one in the same

I can't coddle one without the other
