untitled longing

I am speechless. My vocal cords have track marks. Poison pinned into my veins by the teeth of society. And the goddamn human condition weeps so fucking loudly, I can't hear myself think. Voices muffled in the back of my head--their mouths are gagged with flesh soaked in gasoline. And I light a match, just to hear them scream. The soot that falls fills my gut and passion blooms. From deep within my core, your face rises with the smoke. I watch my reflection dance in the whites of your eyes. And I lose myself, diving into the depth of your pupils. 

Take me away from here

Swimming in whiskey pooled and

Dripping from your pierced lips

I know you see what I see

Faith raped by fear and

Standing on cobblestone

Unstable pieces of bones are

The fragments of my aborted hope

Write for me

A love song

Misguided by our false reality

And dreaming elusively 

Of tomorrow unborn from

The chaos of today
