Quietus

They say the neon lights Don’t often burn that bright Splintered from my urethra Swollen in this hex Devoured by the Eve Brought to justice by the guilt And when they said That all I had to give Wasn’t worth a fitful look I’ve been duped by sedative The artificial power Has swollen in my head Wrapped around an ice pick Can be found my fleeting shell As our defunct cohesion Masticates my head Disintegration will lay me to my bed. That sweet nectar Lingers on my tongue An inebriated hour of reverie genuine A claustrophobic detainment Incarceration with power windows As your effigy is left behind These shiv grasped hands Awaiting exertion, transpierce my eyes Upon introspective re-inspections Ichor transmogrifies Necessitate me Remain vacant here As our defunct cohesion Masticates my head Disintegration will lay me to my bed.
