My bones They gently cave in The surface meeting the bottom Almost like the way your toes splay and shift when walking on sand Waves of chaos Tidal blues of panic Crests of anxiety Undertows of worry and fraught My hands quiver Disastrous stalks Sway in the wheat field that I unknowingly manufactured Snaking fissures Rising up through the slated grey dirt A beasts maw Awaiting its next meal And for desert it'll be my mental health A deformed shish kabob I bite down on the vegetables and meat Only to find a rotted old blood taste in my mouth Before I can spit it out or even change my mind My teeth have sown themselves up My lips have sealed shut I can't ******* tears I can't taste the years that I wasted I tried to the best of my abilities I showed the world a tender sort of love That it never thought to show me ' Because when something is beautiful I'd rather leave it for other people to see Because whenever I pick something It either devours me whole as a result Or it rots in my fingertips Gently and lovingly coating each one One last whisper of a kiss goodbye
