Spit slides like sludge from the lips Mumbling the
lost words of a Fall grievance I can barely speak to
you with purple lips and a cracked smile Ripped apart
in unequaled confusion Always sewing my stability back
together with the thinnest of twine Rip and sew Rip and
sewRip and sew Put me back together Rip and sew Rip and
sewRip and sew Put me back together Split apart at all
the vital seams And the tears that seep from my eyes
drip and mix with blood and ink Blood, tears, and ink
in a pirouette of mayhem and tranquillity It’s a
whitewash of emotion Sweat kisses my tongue and I know
that I’m still real I know that I’m still alive with
myself I yell out your name and choke frothing
deprivation The nourishment of loss Asleep with
asleep Creeping, inching, crawling across the floor
toward the gate ’cause that’s where the flowers bloom
and wilt Roses laced with blood and drool Watching the
pigment drain away from petals clung to my body Angelic
and sweet I’m losing feeling Raking open my chest with
thornsShed back the skin Exposed to he elements Frigid
cold violent dedication A human desecration
