Twixt rational and madness,
Clarity.
Heartbeat by heartbeat,
Simulating the echoes of the universe.
This silence is agony,
Creeping aches up my tendons,
I don’t fucking care.
Quit telling me lies and niceties,
I want the truth,
Raw and bloody.
Spattered across the corridors,
Dripping from the edges,
Honesty on full display,
In all its’ ragged glory.
Even while together,
We are alone,
Cabled with chains of desire.
Shackled in toxicity,
While gasping for air.
The mist hangs heavy.
Together alone.
What could be more terrifying?
Than being in a room full of people,
Knowing you stand apart,
Drinking solitude like poison.
