I sink into the claws of my floor Rain crawls across my cheeks, scalding from a second before My bones are unable to support the boulders That have made a home on my scarred shoulders Itβs funny how the words that drip from your jaw always end up slapping me in the face The bruises on my brain make me microscopic and you the callous king of this place The walls in here are graffitied with gruesome traces of your vicious venom Urgent, ugly, and unrelenting Shadows howl and holler, hidden beneath my burning bed The beaches of barbed wire clutching my floor boards bite my moon skin My eyes drip with onyx after looking into the ebony gaze of the weary windows, heavy with traces of haunted words, hurled hazardously in my helpless direction My room mimics the madness moving along the corridors of my consciousness Darkened, desolate, and destroyed The dead sunflowers sleeping soundlessly on my pillows smoke cigarettes and my lungs become rough with rubies thump, THump, THUMP The sound of your titan steps set my nightmares on fire My soul shakes when the echoes of your shoes and my fears collide My blood tastes your fingers teasing my doorknob And all I can see is the shaky symphony of my staggered breathing.
