CLINGING TO EDGES

Clinging to edges
I only see pieces
Of wholes to be melted true

I inhale illusions

Paranoia pitfalls
And battle-scarred breath
Claustrophobic spaces

I inhale truth

Past the pretty people
And their fake disguise
Plummeting from the cliff

I inhale lies

Unfamiliar weight
Stabbing blades both ways
Devour blood-stained realities

I inhale you
