SPLIT BANALITY

But I’m without you

It’s clear you are blinded by the curfew of the clock
Pressed from your thought
Onto this ridiculous paper & ink
That I refuse to read or rethink

No you don't

I’m depicted instead of interpreted as I truly existed
The way I treated those surroundings I still pay for
And then you leave me again, alone
So, no
I won’t

Lap-se after lap-se
You’re unaware what it means to play fair

Thrusting me through stranger after stranger
By the hand of your short flexible whip
Moving me along
My form submits
The morning after
Into a ball

Cradling itself in a swaying motion of right to left, left to right
All the while I beg for you to disappear just for this short
Fiendlike
Morning moment

But no, we don’t do temporary
I thirst and you anchor me
Rooting yourself momentarily
A fix as heavy as a million bricks with a specialty in fleeting

In
Or out the door ?
In
Or out the door ?

And yet again
It is you
I am confiding in
Vessels I see throughout and under my skin
Piercing up in 3D
Calling not only me
But you
Who
Walked with me
Along the curves that outlined our blood
Our one
When we were a joint
Effort
Helping each other
Step after step

It was just a part it
The commitment
A commitment trashed by the negative test of our blood
A halo shattered by me, the needle
And you
A needle
Ripped right in two in the saddle
Of our love
Trampled by our eye balls
Because of what is in plain view
A compromised future you can see in plain view
Caught by the lines of our minds
Now
Outlined in our blood
Pouring out into the streets
Our two hearts
Shattered by me, the needle
And you
The vessel

    and...

    'Caught by the lines of our minds

    Amazing.... yet again!
