How do I get out? The walls have me captured, I swim in the tank. I have fallen for deep and mesmerising notions, yet we are together. Solitude confines the eyes to a tiny gap in the vastness of a maw. My mouth is agape. Hug me babylove.

People change, yet some will never do. I've been waiting on you. Come around like the summer times and wash over grudges and tries. Is there life beyond the tides? I want to touch it. The simpilicity of an island isolated. Alone.

As the days grow bitter, I skin my head and lay bare my thoughts as if my mind a carpet and my brain the floor. Even with feelings intact I am still disabled, disjointed. An ensemble of atrocities and atrocious lives lived and regretted, I am full of regret. Harm my body not my soul. You have the power and control.

Who will note us then? Why should they, because we exist? It shouldn't come this hard if true. Love.
Do I have to? Ugh.
