This telescope took so long to build
And you broke it like this
A scar in the mirror in the frame of a haunted painting
In a dream I had, I reeled the fetish in
The moonlight poured like time into the tortured book
I was reading with limp wrists, fatigued in my inner turmoil
I had a dream I disappeared and I've never felt more at peace
Looking into the ocean of your blue eyes
Pebbled footprints on the beach of my ever wandering soul
Driving fast in an ancient flash when the stars prevail
I feel hope gliding through the bones I cared for
The abandoned truth flickering in the darkest corner
Words in ribbons like apparitions echoing on cold paper
With every transmission on the radio
With every old face I see in waterlogged photographs
I'm leaning against a slanted view, out of reach
When I dream I hear a voice calling me back to reality
A ship calling me back to you, back to you, back to you
I cut myself and let the blood flow
Pain flourished in a dizzy rage, misunderstood
Blood clot, one hundred pills fizz in my stomach and I vomit
Poison and honey I swallow and my cigarette burns out
Windmills and beer froth and memories abiding in my mouth
The bittersweet taste of unwinding revenge long-drawn out
Bruises, vindictive and immature
I sewed my tears to my inner organs, pushed fingers
Into every orifice, sweet holes like a dead corpse
On the floor my thoughts were slow
Brain paralysed and my limbs are sore
Suicidal malfunction, I cried tears on my knees
Eyes wet, I wiped the sadness away like I pick flowers
Got up and looked out at the lake from the hill
Wishing I was a cloud drifting in that vast blue
Lungs filled with water in my blue bedroom
There's no sunlight here, no sunlight here.

Deep
thank you, sir!
Beautiful yet haunting and drowning imagery. Nicely written once again xx
I think I exist between hopeless romance and drowning imagery
