linger...|...|... /linger

..

Like truth lingers

Like the run away kid
Lingers in the alleyway

Like you linger

Contemplating
The thoughts about yourself that linger

••

In the ONE NIGHT'S terror

In the empty Carnival at Midnight

By the Ferris Wheel

(Where you first imagined getting laid)

••

Soft hands that touch

Eyes that penetrate and hold

These now dying memories that linger and destroy

All visions of a Healthy Tomorrow

--////--

(You thought that you might just lay down and die)

/:/

(But alas DEATH also lingers !)

••

NO ESCAPE

_

The run away kid  too comes here

You come upon eachother face to face

LIFE or DEATH

(You must finally --- decide )

It ain't so easy when it's real

It ain't just lines you are jotting down

••

Numbness doesn't end the Pain

It just nullifies your Will

••

The CARNIVAL is over

The FERRIS WHEEL !

hands and ******* part forever

••

Dreams and fears



DEATH LINGERS

//

Soon it's the only thing that's here
