where the wild flowers grow

How about
another
complaint
from you?

Is it so hard
to live
to walk
to breathe and taste
the life you
have been given?

How about
another
smoke,
to calm your nerves?
Could you replace
a lung
that's
inhaled me?

Just like
shedding
the skin
that's touched.
Cutting out
the tongue
that's tasted,
and helped
to create the
words
you promised
you'd never
stop speaking.

How sadistic
can silk be?
As it weaves
across my neck,
telling me
that I
am not allowed to
go..anywhere or
do
anything..
but suffocate.

I can no longer
percieve
the blurred lines,
the haze around the sun,

what more can I say?

More elegant than a noose...  but just as constricting.

Taking a thought and twisting it raw...
you do that very, very well.
