~your mouth is glued shut and they're standing across from you screaming about the grocery list and scented candles ~your lover is sitting next to you trying to tell you how your emptiness is seeping into his veins ~there are eight things you're forgetting at each moment in time and the ring around your left index finger is cutting your circulation. ~the planetary energy around you is rotting and you've anchored yourself to this very earth ~holding everyone around you on higher pedestals. purposely sabotaging the smile that just about crept onto your precious face ~the congruity of your parts has fallen and the spaces between each finger have started to collect dust. ~the scales of your peaceful life have been tipped for so long that you're the one who cries in grocery stores ~chasing so many avenues of adventure and thought at one time that your hands are becoming transparent ~you're dour, emotionless and resentful. you're an accurate description of the sun's frown but his smile hides it. ~you spit hateful phrases at him but are dying inside at the sight of his tears at your fault

A series of observations
