This house slowly unraveling peeling off in layers             like citrus of sectioned freshness       squeezed out of bounds                             my heart                     all caught up in rooms, furniture f l y In g no longer rooted by familial gravity My veins wrapped in long strands of               live wires hugging each item tight                  as if to unlock        the memories that scintillate within and I       radiate my               feelings of forever to somehow imprint them before they whirl and swirl off into the universe Snippets of our lives in angled slices of colored mirror a look     a smile        a glint in the eye children laughing                a garden surprise                crazy kitchen singing                       first solids and a bib               first little sweet dance       beatific smile from the crib the bedroom for cuddles little bugs wrapped in blankets, so close and so dear flanked by both of us, guardians of light, keeping out fears Once, we claimed private time velvet kisses down trails of skin hot lusted shadows gently sliding within This is how love corrupts          how old batteries explode             burning rust that erupts                         as I break out             from the mold Now your words hit my skin in bad chemical reaction knives and arrows of rupture as my bone marrow                        gets fractured Insides are spilling out guts all over the floor all this chaos created as I split      through               the door

necessary chaos
This house slowly unraveling peeling off in layers             like citrus of sectioned freshness       squeezed out of bounds                             my heart                     all caught up in rooms, furniture f l y In g no longer rooted by familial gravity My veins wrapped in long strands of               live wires hugging each item tight                  as if to unlock        the memories that scintillate within and I       radiate my               feelings of forever to somehow imprint them before they whirl and swirl off into the universe Snippets of our lives in angled slices of colored mirror a look     a smile        a glint in the eye children laughing                a garden surprise                crazy kitchen singing                       first solids and a bib               first little sweet dance       beatific smile from the crib the bedroom for cuddles little bugs wrapped in blankets, so close and so dear flanked by both of us, guardians of light, keeping out fears Once, we claimed private time velvet kisses down trails of skin hot lusted shadows gently sliding within This is how love corrupts          how old batteries explode             burning rust that erupts                         as I break out             from the mold Now your words hit my skin in bad chemical reaction knives and arrows of rupture as my bone marrow                        gets fractured Insides are spilling out guts all over the floor all this chaos created as I split      through               the door
