Ask
Have you ever heard
The pathetic rhythm of defeat?
have you yet drummed to the beat of losing feeling to the brain when logic is snatched away
By reckless hands of someone you cannot name?
Have you tried harder things than the rocks on the bottom yet?
have you found those vices numb in their beautiful faces, twisting and grey, void of satisfaction?
Tell me if it's better than the shredding throat feeling
Of a sob building
When someone you love
Looks at you in a way
That conveys a grotesque disdain.
Tell me your story, answer
so what is unasked from your mind will be poured into my hands
and i can recount to you how it does get better
In a way that will help heal your experience and mind your pain
