#gouge
i came alive then died
my heart beat fluttered
i came so high and declined
no moment is forever
am i better off now?
did you answer my prayers?
could we get off the ground?
or stuck grounded here?
answers to questions i’ll never have
balm my pain no matter how venomous
gouge my brain that can’t let heaven slip

He cut off his feet...
But still wandered and strayed
Then gouged out his eyes...
But still burned for the maid
Then lopped off one hand...
But then saw an issue:
He could not complete
Sev'ring sin from his tissue

Jane holds the pencil in her hand
She uses it to get the thoughts out of her head
Now they won't come out
Time for a new tactic
She swings her clenched fist at her ear
The squelch is felt more than heard
Again and again she gouges the thoughts from her brain
Thoughts pool dark red in her lap
She finally shut them up
Eyes closed
Relaxed sigh
Alone in her head again
Jane fades out

Crush your bones into a fine powder
Twit your mind in little strings, tie and tangle them
Gouge out your eyes, lie about sight
Shred your limbs, tie them like bows
Rip off your nails, glue on plastic
Keep lying
Keep it up
Stop breathing
Your lungs are just birthday balloons
Only needed for special occations
