i need some meaning i can memorize skipping stones on icy water,
count the stepping stones to Hell
point out the brilliance of
burning trees
keep on stepping,
stoned to Hell.
trip the wire, don't make a sound
we fall all over ourselves in an attempt
at something brilliant
but our shady ways get us every time
every time
break the gates down,
bear witness to the schemes of men
who weave shining prism light into
stories, sparkling your dilated pupils
like diamonds made of sand
count the skipping stones to Hell,
hell-bent on seeking your destruction,
keep on skipping,
straight to Hell.
I sit beside this window, letting smoke curl out from between my lips. My eyes are closed and i can feel the heat rising off of my eyeballs and onto the inside of my eyelids. The music that pulses in my ears pumps through my veins to the bass line of my heartbeat. The afternoon seems endless as the rain falls against the pavement outside, a drumline of precipitation baptising the city after a heady summer full of sin.
I absorb the weather through my skin, running my fingertips over coarse skin grown resistant from abuse. I take in the rainbow of scars that are splayed across my legs, some dark purple and some light brown. Some faded almost to invisibility, some new and bright, loud and screaming. They mock me when I stand before the mirror in the mornings, taking mental inventory and checking off my insecurities before I wash away the dreams of last night.
I wash away the denial, the fantasy land that intoxicates me and envelopes my subconscious like some gorgeous velvet fog designed to help me
cope. This nocturnal escape provides something necessary, something that pushes me upright in the mornings, allowing me to actually get up.
Everything seems overhwhelming. I have these daydreams that become nightmares as my worst assumptions are played out in 'what-if' land. I silently imagine years worth of action accumulating in nothing but pure, inevitable misery. For isn't that just how it would be, isn't that just what would happen. It's always like this.
I feel the urge to cut. I feel the urge to watch the blood flow down my legs and feel the buzzing sensation in my skin and underneath my ribcage.
I want to feel something.
