I have yet to find a word that describes the beauty in which an object unravels. There is, however, infinite words to express the madness one must possess in order to fall in love with destruction.
I do not know why the ruins of hearts I've never known stain my hands like the tar from a fire I never set, Or why I feel like an arsonist everytime I try to wash the ashes from my fingers, But I do know that I have said more prayers for the chaotic than for the sick. I know that while the English language has yet to supply me with a single word to sum up why I find hope in endings, I can describe in detail the way the walls of my bedroom burn like they are being ravaged by the flames of my psyche, And how I have never felt more at home than when everything is crumpling around me.
When I try to explain that I have never felt safer than when my ribs were tearing in two, Please do not deem me insane. As if the concept of the deterioration of my own brain has not fascinated me since the first time "we're all mad here" snaked it's way through my consciousness. I am a white rabbit, Setting my pocket watch ten minutes fast, Just to see who will run with me. Digging holes in my skin, Hoping someone will fall through. And if I am mad, Then you must be too, For we are all just spilled ink, Dying to turn blue.
