I am the king of short phrases, Because my good intentions never make it that far. My hand is at the seam, strained. I’ll never make it that far.
I am begging for mercy at the hands of myself. I am drowning in my own ink, reaching for the rim of the well.
Tilt me over onto a canvas and let my thoughts transpose. So all that’s needed is a bridge of light, Where visions and thoughts are the passer by's. Crossing the T’s and dotting the I's In the space between connection and sight.
I want my words to act as the weather, Sealing gaps in the dialogues between a man and another. While you wish to live forever, I only wish to forever live in the kinds of words written to live by. Save this shell of a man before his fractures bring him down. Hold his words captive as he held the pulse within his fist.
Buried underneath a burden, Leaking thoughts out onto the pavement. Pull me from the wreckage and follow the scars painted on my body To the heart of a mouth sewn shut.
Hid behind these walls lay the lion, Like trapped thoughts in a cage. For this is an emergency, Please operate and remove my stories.
