A Simillacrum Jan 2019
Moving less toward the past
than to the future.
God save my ghost.

Drilling lanes into my flesh
by turning the screws.
Tighten my plates.

Before I know it
come undone again,
eager for the dawn's
heavy noose.

Bowing as a point
to the morningstar,
witness, sufferer,
bane and boon.

Let me ask--
what is worthy of being untitled?

What is the poem or story with so much meaning that it cannot be labeled?

Is my work worthy of being without a title?

Is this poem that meaningful?

Will a title spoil the emotion?

-------------------------------------------------------­--------------------------------------

When we see something untitled, there always seems to be a reoccurring sense of intrigue surrounding it.

I wonder if you'll be intrigued when you read this.

----------------------------------------------------------­-----------------------------------

If I filled this page up with hyphens and forward slashes, would it still be intriguing?

You could say yes, since there could be a secret meaning or code within the longer and shorter lines.

But what if I told you there was no meaning to any of this?

What if everything you're reading in this poem is nonsense?

Would there be any way to know?

You might argue that you could ask me.

But what if there is no answer?

--------------------------------------------------------­-------------------------------------

Now I wonder why you're still interpreting these words.

I hold nothing against you...

I just don't see the point.

They told me
Time heals everything
But they never answered my question
How long time does it take?

Because this feels like forever
and that is a long time
When you've got nowhere to go

Also,
I think,
If I ever saw the light again
I will become blind

So what is the point?

I tried to write
So I picked up a pencil
But put nothing down
For it was missing a point

I think
maybe the point
isn't to be found,
but to be made
Late night thinking

I wonder if you see me as fragile or strong. I wonder if you think that I’ll break your arms. are you careful with my heart , are you afraid that I will fall apart?

Or I wonder if you know that I am strong, despite the fact that I have been wronged? Do you know that I have strength  despite the fact we both know I can break.

I wonder what you know.

I sit here, sit here all day.
I watch all the people laugh and play.
I feel my jealousy rising from within.
And in the end, it always wins.

My envy towards their happy smiles.
Their joy running for hundreds of miles.
And I feel my chest tighten, a few tears escape.
And around me everything loses its shape.

The world turns black, then red, then green.
I feel anger and sadness and everything in between.
My heart is hammering, but making no sound.
And everything melts away into the background.

Because you still haunt me,
Because you still daunt me,
Because of how much pain you caused me.

Because of the calls,
Because of the brawls,
Because I met my final fall.

My heart is shattered, can't be rescued.
But I know I'd still run back to you.
you're like my beacon, i don't want you, but i always run back to you.

I think you're mistaken.
I care about loving and the heart of another.
I need to make up for the loss of attention from my mother.
I think you're mistaken.
No one could ever love me.
How could they when I was abandoned at three?
I think you're mistaken.
Your mind is blind.
You think I'm cruel and ruthless and I'll give you no time.
I think you're mistaken.
You don't know me well.
Because I'm confined to this space, trapped in a spell.
I think you're mistaken.
I'm antisocial because I'm 'glued' to my phone?
Well, it's not my fault I'm always alone.

Alone.
no one can see past his armour when he has the toughest guards around.

I retain, fixed
unworldly
cashed-in
a point
until corroded by metological formula
and practical social delinquency

Weather me down
til I am camera
projector
and pinhole

Pure and abyss-less
lights vehicle
apperatus
                         - forget me not
I self plagiarised a little in this... Such is life.
