Shattered grave
Of .a .life .loved.
Then lost
Brain weighs
Of. atlas
burdened shoulders
Dig through. The bones and marrow
Poison thoughts. digging scars in your arms
Follow through.
The. graves.
Suc.cu.bus. tongue
Seduction From
a bed of self slaughter
Tears dried
You aren't for crying
Blood dripped
Won't fix this cough
From your lungs
No way back
From this forest
My neurons have phantom limbs
These ents have me helpless
Impaled
On.my.own.thoughts.
Heavy
These patterns
These crushing crutches
Our spectres crawl
On the floor
This cabin
Is a hell
Stuck in
A ghost dance of
Scarecrows
With gaped throats
Saw teeth
Stuck in our smiles
We ruin
Everything
We destroy
Everything
We collapse
Every organ. The trade off part
The piano keys
We have broken
Released
Through stitches bursting
The straws out
Our metal hearts rusting
Hurt our selves
Hurt each other
Burdens of
Guilt becomes us.
Figments
Of destroyed fragments
Of released
haunting patterns
Scarecrows
With gaped throats
Saw teeth
Stuck in our smiles
Lacerated trees
sap beings
Filled with ghost
This suicide
Wind blown trees
We corpse and Rot in
the basement
Of ruined dreams
Degrading forever
No molecules left
the elements Remnants
All that there is
lead weights
Thrown over the levee
My eyes
Pick apart my failures
Nothing will
Ever fix our broken hearts
Quilted the loss
Into a patch making sense
Death
systems
Cadavered
systems
