Slipping Away
You are not slit.
You taste the center of something else
Severed.
The slow fade to black
Cold, alone, slipping
Down. Down your face
The tears slide—your very own waterfall
-ing through the
Cracks.
All along you knew; you’ve always known
That you are different.
Not like the crowd
-ed streets full of the masses
And where do you fit?
Nowhere.
You are a dreamer, but keep them locked
Inside, these dark, dark dreams…
You only wish you were slit.
You only wish to taste the center of yourself,
Severed.
