I am walking down a line that’s sure to drain me of all the warmth I carry with me in the pocket of my shirt time flies since the sunset has me feeling like it’s not a special occasion anymore now everything is just how it seems and that's why I scream sometimes my bones feel like they’re gonna break under the weight of everything that’s pressing down on me right now my chest is caving in and I can’t catch my breath and oh god, I’m so afraid to die I tried to pull myself back up but my relentless indecision dragged me with razor teeth to the bottom of the sea death of a thousand cuts, I feel so beaten down and weathered by this storm that's hitting from all sides there’s a cold wind blowing on my skin and I'm facing the only thing I feared
2.
you are a tiny plant without a name and I am a layer of ice that won’t ever melt I don’t know why I still feel so cold staring through the rain at pillars of solid gold longing for a quick flight to a bright light where I can fade away
3.
spinning a web in a daydream about happier times when my life was more than finding shapes in ceiling tiles travel back through my life and see what a waste of space I’ve been stuck in the blissful ennui of my post-adolescence: slept in two hours late, I guess I'll try again tomorrow because I just wanna be someone genuine I found a pocketknife, and inside was inscribed a message to a man more important to the sender than I'll ever be to anyone I sat awake last night trapped in a static storm of all the things that I had lost and everything feels so bass-heavy and hollow if I’m just a single segment of someone’s memory a cascading chemical like the changing of the leaves I hope that I leave a mark and thoughts they can revive like the seven nights in summertime when we felt most alive
4.
drowning in the water underneath the bridge between two rocky shorelines I never learned to swim because I can't take anything seriously until I'm fucking panicking like a white wolf running alone separate from the pack I'll scream at a moonlit sky without a landmark to lead me back atop a mountain staring at a forest shadowed by the past cut it all down and watch it burn until there's nothing left but glass
5.
I saw the oceans ending back when I was 17 but since then I've gone nowhere, and done nothing, and gone nowhere, and done nothing at all is there any consolation for the time that I have wasted? or am I doomed to repeat the past that I create? spending my days biding time until my life starts up again or will you witness my untimely death on closed circuit television?
