The walls are gone
The Walls that held me up and
pointed my chest outward
towards the colossal mean world
It once stopped spinning
to let me think ahead
But now it laughs greedily in my face
as it takes the time while I reach
For more to chase the power
Hours and days and weeks and months and seasons
years and decades and half to full centuries
millenia it seemed
With you, I was on top, not of you
But true it was everything
Sing I did but you weren’t
There like I thought you were
No, though I could touch you
You were just a figment
My pigment is drained now that I have
Have reason to adjust to
you being gone how am
Damn how am I to adjust to
You being gone like an overplayed
Finally strayed song
Those kisses that were once my
High value pot of gold at the
Long length of your rainbow
Where it came to an end and soaked
Me in your essence the kind
Blinding glow of imagery
For even when I’m with you I fall fast
Still clasping you in my sleep
Deep in my dreams where
THere I live lifetimes and we were not
Finite we grew old but loved
Passionately like fine wine
Sign ahead I should’ve seen
That you would package up and
Strand me to leave
But I know that you will remember
When you tackled me and fell fastly
Crashing into the rug of my
Cloud-like Bedroom floor laughing
Untying, unstrapping, unzipping
My sweatpants and your bra
exchanging genes as more comes off
once nude the made bed
Messy it was made love on
Scrub me off it’s something you can’t
Do now that the feeling has a hold
and it is bold
My scent is still in you as well
Tell me the truth it’s around
soundly humming till
Still it screams in your head and
instead of thoughts from the future
My absence drags you
screaming fearfully into the past
Your heart misses mine beating
Stubbornly against your ear
Telling you the darkest secrets most
Coast around the long subject
Loves grasp has you
It tackles you and makes you cold till
Your skin stings and you want
Taunting you the warmth
The lightly darkened skin brings with rightful cause
Every clause I read brings
Sings to you the gnarly
Burly look that steals the smile off my
highly young and fastly aging face
you question what you did
Bringing tears to my once great eyes
you clasp your expanding belly
yelling regretful and hateful words
The birds fly off as your aching belly
keeps growing and they wait
No you wait till you see
Who flees the scene first your baby from some
place within you or your ex
Who denies and doesn’t want to
continue what commit to what he has done
Won he has it’s all a game to him
Dim you were to accept the
Rough challenge you amounted to nothing
Loving guy you once had
Sad because you messed up
Enough to make your friends cut loose ends
Deep end never to be seen again
You wait to be clean of sin
You’ve wronged and you want to right
So you try to write a list
To fight the anonymous
Demons that haunt you and bite your wrist
So they won’t be inked like tribalist
outside your skin but
Rut They are in and can’t get in
The many pores that surround
mounds of your sensitive skin
In reality of science you shed again and
Again you shed whenever
wherever you try to
Zoom in on the dark and attempt to sleep
Deep fast and in a hurry
Before conscious the monster
Tears at your skin starting at your
foremost chest it is already wearing
Tearing it is so thin
When you do fall asleep it follows you
Swallows you as you run to the
Very and up most end
Till knock after knock of it calling your name
You let consciousness back in
Then you both talk it out
Spouting true accusations wished false
So made truly false by the
Pathological you are on till
By bitter memory you change to a better
Letter by letter pace that
Back to life your heart
Jumpstarts and begins to spin like cogs
But the risk of gaining such machinery is gone
Tone has changed from bass to treble time to
Hop to and move on time’s shown
Mind is blown
For I watch you turn from immaturity
obscurity and overuse of
Egypt like mascara
To a solid Terram ready to take on what
But not just anything but
Cut fear and take on everything
Till you drop dead and father time finally
Tidally uses his voice to sing
Ringing a revelation that
Fact or not you’ve served your purpose
Surface cold you will become
Some deny though
For they know they are not done till they
Fray and seek to accomplish a last
Passing personal and final
Prideful endorsing everlasting goal to grant
Grant them everlasting peace
Pieces she is in when she
Gleefully accomplishes finding that love
Above all she so sought
Caught up in a time
Climbing a mountain you could not touch
Much is lost but you salvage up
Whatever it is you can
Using every last ounce of will you have
To save the dying love you’ve grabbed
Nabbed you have the will be man
Hold Hold him in your arms you can but smaller
Not taller he is now but purged
Surged of all sins
Spin your head does till the skin color you
view and do not recognize till
Still you try to solve while the brain will tantalize
Synchronize your head does to what makes
Breaks previous tense and sense
Hence your mistake didn’t
Couldn’t plant the seed the one who you dumped soil on
Spawn is a result of a broken condom
Random this happy news is
This mistaken of a mistake you take lovingly
Knowingly you put down his name
Same features you know for
Sworn fact and you put down the baby
Clingy he is but you know
Slowly you’d try ohh
To not drop this small human who to you
Worth more than the world could offer
Or cough up desperately
The inevitable stretch marks stretch less as
Masterfully you fall passively
Happily into sleep
Deep you fall into a time not yet past
Fast though it comes at a high speed
Indeed you conjure up
Up through wishes combined a loving life back to the
One and the only to put it simple
The one you love dearly
Clearly he sees you unbeaten and fine tissue
Issues you two had you let go
Slow it happens but dreams
Seems they come true for only you
True bad things happened through
Tough and psychadelic
Rhymadelic and evil past that roughed
You stuck through it till the
obscene momentous
Cumulonimbus you find yourself in now
Wowed you and pleased you
Teased you up until now
Slowly refined the love is like moonshine
Refined till volatile around flames
Your body is on fire
Tire me out you always do but for you this is
What you need and you’ve lacked this nutrition
Like Fission it will explode
Ending this mission
