waking up
now reminds me more of
digging up bones,
rather than skipping stones.
water isn't all that I hyped it up to be.
I drove miles and miles just
to discover
that the heat was broken,
and that your affection
is more of an illusion
than an authentic token,
wrapped in ***
and compassion.
Through metal weights
and steel plates,
I make a living.
Through some sort of
endless storm,
I will live
the darkness will ultimately illuminate all of the light and altruism that we have to bring to this world.
