'(warning) a melodrama'

By scatcatblu

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

took away my life eyes deceived by darkness before I had a chance to realise it was mine and I had a stake in my own foreward motion the decay begins again and I watch numb only aware on the outside there's nobody home and when I wake a fraction trying to stem the flow of my beings liquification spilling to the floor I know it's only time when I can no longer hide the stain and each time I look back there's less of me that remains flying illusions pander to my minds eye of delusion captured shapes stir and elongating prisms move between my feet caverns of forgotten darkness open where I dwell to release me from beginning and lead me back to assumption lost in dark conclusions stretched to the limit I break the connection don't let them see you moving between the shadows I can never seem to move fast enough to catch up with the train that speeds my life in this reality along lifes path stumbling / bleeding don't let them see me fall again thoughts in my head - translate nothing at all / nothing at all (whisper) nothing at all (to me) held in sleep touch the dreams they burst and crumble dust layered and here I write scrawl my name on the walls the floor moves in the corner I hide the words I wrote I can no longer decipher I forgot from where or when I came did my birth create this dimension revert to the darkness that thought my name the corners are warmer shadows entomb me I hide my eyes reflect movement I am not alone nothing at all / nothing at all (whispered) nothing at all (by me) I go where I go where there is nothing at all even nothing eventually gathers dust and then again I fall Written April 20th, 2002 © on Apr 20 2002 03:40 PM PST    18 • 0 • 1
