I Want To Close My Eyes

You’re hieroglyphics splashed against the wall smeared paint rocks and dirt all crumbling into the faint cracks that only I can trace. You’re a line of dots and dashes I can’t decipher you at all spilt gin shaky kisses now trembling a silhouette in bed that only I can feel. You’re beads of brail all the blind can read thick frayed rope A turned stool still swinging a soul and sin eloped that only I can see ... and I want to close my eyes.

First of all, I love the concept in this piece. The contrasting "only I can see... and I want to close my eyes." Hit me hard. Your imagery is also amazing (I love the reference to hieroglyphics). Thank you so much for your comment on Liquid Tragedy... it really made my day! I haven't come across your work at all on poetrysoup before, but I'll be sure to keep coming back now. =]
