never allowed
to be ourselves
always pretending
to be someone else
it’s not what you want
even at best
try to explain but
it really makes no difference
all of this falling apart every day
hearts explode and deteriorate
pick up the pieces and go on anyway
want to be strong
but we never knew
that constant failing
Is all that we’re good for
lied to ourselves
as long as we can
try to explain but

dig deep down
watch it crawl outside
lying on the ceiling
staring at the floor
it’s an itch that can’t be scratched
with every breath I feel it coming back
abandoned buildings
and lonely hallways
of our wasted youth
the fountain running dry

Windswept

trapped in a tunnel of webs
vultures circling overhead
sometimes
heaven
is a lie
light filtering through a pinhole
casting shadows on us
in the world below
decaying fruit
sagging skin
the smell of pillboxes and medicine

Time takes its toll
Tearing a hole
A broken promise
Is a ticking bomb
Waiting to explode
We were so young
What did we even know of love
We had it all
It slipped away
Maybe we deserve pain
Magnet stars for eyes
Cut me down to size
Running out of limbs to take
Leaving us a bloody mess
I could stare at you for hours

ground below
sky above
pull the rug
from under us
cold wind
rustling
cloak of night
through the trees
closing…..in……
wretched beasts
are everywhere
I’m still here
but we should leave
I feel it often
often I feel it
nameless
dilate
