I place dreams on the slab
Of cool concrete
I wonder why they don't grow
I chase demons in the back
Of my subconscious
I wonder if they know
I lace each meal with acid
To escape reality
I wonder when the madness begins
I trace each path in black pen
And bright white
I wonder if color exists
I give back, live that
Hypertensive motion sickening
Shudder of death
Seize the day from beneath the waves
Only to drown in it
I confess my love of shadows and gallows
Address my audience with
Promises shallow, as I swim in the deepest ends
I spread my arms in the company of eagles
And crash on the grounds of what I don't know
I shed my body, become the soul
And in doing so, liquid whole
Til the world reminds me why I've been
So cold
I am frozen solid in the headlights of
Passing anxieties
I wish they knew me
At all, I fall so far
I can barely remember times soaring
Amongst dreams.
