#consuming
i like how the sunset goes down..
melts into my golden skin
and cuts my arm
but I’m still away from harm
i like how the sea looks when it’s at night
my cuts and burns still give me fright
but I am the sailor of this ship
with me in command, no one trips
no one dares to cut my arms for fuel
but gone they are
every sunset, melting on the fire
the fire hums beneath the floor
it asks for more, and more, and more
i fed it names, i fed it faces
echoes lost in burning places
but i am the sailor of this ship
i hold the wheel with steady grip
the boat slows down, and stops
there’s nothing left for me to use
so i step closer to the flame,
and it forgets i had a name.

Change is inedible
but what if I don’t want it to be?
Stillness is my form of wishing.
It grows within me,
consumes me,
like leaves on a tree
when the autumn breeze arrive
making me, shaping me,
until I am no longer the same.
Why is it consuming me?

They consume me from within,
the ants beneath my skin
arch and tear
another piece of me.
I don’t know which part
to offer next.
They carve their paths,
unearthing the core,
building mounds,
sitting motionless inside.
But still they bite,
those cursed ants,
with their tiny heads,
and unnervingly wide eyes,
ever hungrier,
gathering together—
those ******
****** ants.

Sometimes,
My mind,
Decides,
To scare me.
Feeling,
Indifferent,
All-consuming,
Apathy.

With fiat money losing value consistently
This leads to a proclivity for consumption
Since the money is worth more right now
Than it will be worth in the coming years.
In time, this leads to overconsumption &
Ostentation and environmental effects
Due to a constant need for spending.
Therefore
Let’s use an option that reverses this
By using money that gains value over
Time and incentivizes the holding of
Money because it purchases more in
The future rather than less. Over time
The psychological and environmental
Benefits of Bitcoin grow and help all.

A free captive
Informed I don't know how to love or live
Only examples have been showbiz
Emotions in cursive
Not easily or easy to forgive
No clear or ulterior motive
Rage and violence consume absolutely
They savagely rip apart and rearrange me but not outwardly
I've been known to be self destructively passive and cowardly
Maybe a lobotomy would stop the calamity
Never experienced supportive
The consequences massive
I've been rewritten as aggressive
Stabbed in the back, I supplied the shiv
Caustic and corrosive
This is no way to live
Good fortune such a rare commodity it falls apart too easily
Troubles squeeze so completely and never leave me
What I am and what I'm supposed to be create this rigid dichotomy
I hope the something that's gotta give doesn't end up being me

you want to see
how soft and tender my flesh is
and crack the inside of my mind open
like a pomegranate,
ruby jewels spilling onto white sheets.
i offer my plum ripe heart to you greedily
prey wanting to be hunted,
only to be left with sticky hands
from trying to hold myself together
when you walk away.

bite my lip
pinch my skin and
rip my love fiercely
from within this flesh
grasp my hip
strike firm caress and
undress my lust thirstily
from within this breast
strip me bare
scald hot kisses and
devour my senses blissfully
from within this soul

When she fell
she could feel
the light, its warmth
its happiness
and its stability
she blinked
and she was
plunged into darkness
a darkness that
drowned her
a darkness that
was a struggle
consuming her life

you feel like
soft autumn rain
underneath
amber streetlights,
while stormclouds
dance above
bringing the promise
of m a g i c.

to the darkness
i surrender
my body laying in wait
hungry
claws in the earth
ruby droplets
decorating my throat
laying myself open
bathing in moonight,
from beyond the trees
my love has come
and i am ready
to be devoured.

i saw glaciers in your eyes,
icy plains and lost streams.
i felt you fill my lungs
your salt water burning
with each new breath,
drowning in you
with every exhale.

you consume me
so entirely
filling up my lungs
with each breath
dancing around my veins
with each beat of my heart.

As I become lesser
I feel you
progressing
taking over
the little space
that is left
devouring
my whole
overpowering
my all

i will gasp for air
just to consume you.

you set me on fire
you touch me
and i know,
that there is no heaven
better than this.

Don't look at the past
with statistics that must
rise, deepen the abyss
in which we dare not fall
Rather turn around, step back
live like the oldest people
simple, without any illusions
about what you need
Take so many steps back
that you have time again
to do nothing and can pay more
to others
Join the splinter party
for public facilities
in the margins of the world
and choose the future

Should I open my eyes?
Should I face reality?
The reality that I'll always have this feeling?
This unstoppable, overwhelming, consuming, sickening feeling of being alone?
Maybe I should just
Accept it.
I know
I know I'm gonna be alone.
That no one's gonna love me.
That I'm never gonna be good enough for anyone.

i sometimes wonder
what i did wrong
perhaps i was too much to handle,
incapable of loving small.
i tie myself wholly
in an act of pure devotion
ready for worship
maybe that's what made you run
but i can't apologise
for wanting a love
that eats me whole.
