Sniff, raw, loaded anti-septic,
Kill germs, blights nervous soul
Shun oozing wound, time ticks
Racing, friends melt into insignificant blur
Oblivious to your black hole
For the sky's your precious cure.

So, you run
The world's heavily pregnant
She can't be your nurse.
You run
Tears cascade inwards
You're hydrated but not sated.
I perch upon a roof, legs dangling
Watching, waiting as (your name's 'traitor')
You run...

Sun prepares it's bed, casts an orange glow,
Orange to purple blood dripping from
Trashed ideologies, I follow
My eyes to your fading, running silhouette
Have you touched your sky yet?
Or has my ruthless cynicism branded you,
Prevented you,
To swallow?


"Controlling my feelings for too long....
And forcing our darkest souls to unfold...
And pushing us into self-destruction...."
