you eat flesh in a cleaned room with a seaside view. you devour the world (or so you think) with a single swallow. in dreams that feel like apparitions, you appear. you clutch your ego against your chest as if it’s a blessing. your iron lung fills my head with black smoke. i envy those who can say no.
recently, i apologize on the behalf of other people. you’re smiling with blood in your teeth the enamel worn through, yellow in color. staying afloat has become impossible. you’re the ambushing shark in a pool of my nerves and tissues. somehow drowning with your fangs around my rouge shadow.
your ego has eaten you alive. you push against the walls of your pursuer. it chokes back your spinal cord. completely empty, betrayed by your own creation you must be angry while i sit and watch, blood on my lips, solid foundation.
i bet you will conveniently forget to wish me a happy birthday.
this is kind of about two people, but also just aimed at one individual.
