She Asks

I'm alone in this room.
Forever looms.
Screaming sickness.
A new delusion.


I look away in fear.
I look down.
Here.
"Why?", You ask.
Don't we all?
Let's wait for the fall.

Together.

And as we crawl we feel progression but really we achieve nothing but a downward fall.

The night is dark
my eyes a shadow
a preconceived notion
of ill sought devotion
I long to belong

an empty room
slowly fills
as I keep up
wallowing in hops
the lights dim
the lights spin
still the puzzle piece
no one lifts

The street lights casting
a new world basking
in pale yellow rays
a hopeful sight
amongst these
dark grays

they whiz
by
whiz
just like that
and again reminded
lone

darkness falls
hard and cold

a hearse
arriving
I
despising
these traditional seeds
is it not time

we try something

New?

And Your Eyes

and your eyes
as blue as diamonds
rough hair inviting me
red lips denying me
all I seek

to get lost here with us
that is something
that is something to behold
as we scream
at the top of our lungs
breath vanishing

you!

you don't see
you're blind
we'll toss you in
in this bleeding sea
you grope and search

blind

that's all you are
fucked beyond recognition
our collective voice
has power
power
has love
love

now we leave
sun and sky
go by

and we wait

we wait for the sun to run out

this page to run out

this ink to run out

us to run

out
