Drowning, Where You Left Me...

The manuscript of my life is written with fluid in shades of flesh and sepia bone Its undertone is grown but can't birth its killer clone And they attract like magnets to where the black fact lives at Meeting each other with force Clashing fast then I react To just how they truly feel And where they truly bleed But hate filled greed has them registering flashes in synapses for each and every need And desire that's unmet Unkept On, slept And over swept Slaps for the jester as he lonely sat in a corner and wept Nobody likes to see the frown of a clown, So suck [all that up fool] and smile while you drown Deep beneath a living surface, just where you left me feeling down Submerged in frustration and the confusion you've allowed on me Expecting an overcome while tools and their uses evade me No need in asking for help cause hear you'll pretend to not So submerged here's where I stay. Lonely, drowning as I rot.
