The house I'd built is nothing now, I'm walking past a hole I tell myself that I cannot return without a soul The sacrifices I had made are nothing more than this: Ephemeral experiments, a reoccurring kiss I used to think my sorry lips were something of a door A gate protecting parts of me but that was all before I came across a verbiage that entered through my teeth That made its way inside of me and settled underneath The time it took to reinforce its structure with my bones Has passed like an eternity, in never ending groans I'll change the bricks to powder soon by mulling over thoughts And place them in a mortar to contain them while they rot And as the house of sand and fog is gradually entombed The ground will hold a funeral to bury every room
